WATERVILLE BOY SCOUTS
HOLD INTERESTING MEET

The Waterville Boy Scouts held a
largely attended meeting at the Pleas
ant Street Methodist Episcopal church
Wednesday, evening, conducted by
Scout Master Weeks. Frederick A.
Sherherd told of the work of the Eng
fish Boy Scouts in the present crisis.
Beginning with a description of the
English lads themselves, the speak
er said that they were about such
boys as he saw before him, OF about
the same ages and bright appearance
Their uniform was different in some
respects, the knees being bare and
there being minor differences of
equipment. Quoting Rev. George w.
Hinckley of Good VIII Farm, he said
that he agreed with Mr.. Hinckley that
tho boys of today are the men of to-
morrow idea is not a good sentiment,
Boys can do many things that men
cannot do, and things which they
themselves cannot do after they be-
come men. The speaker told of an i'm
portant secret mission, from England
&c the center of Belgium, entrusted by
Sir Edward Grey of the British war
department to a Boy Scout of the Isle
of Man, the boy returning home safe
ly after the satisfactory performance
of his task. After describing the work
of the English boys in some detail, he
closed with an appeal to the boys to
stand for peace, rather than for war,
in which our country does not want to
engage, but to be ready for whatever
service they were called upon to per-
form.
