astounded the American correspond

was as remarkable as their bravery

messages in an unheard of manner.

remain known only to the White
House circle and Mrs. Cats family.
Some have Il that they met last au-

know her in the spring.

I'm a war OF any magnitude, II
prolonged for any length or
time, Il Is almost certain that
draft will be made upon the
youth of the land for service in his
country's defence. This was tru- OF
all the great wars OF Europe during
the last two centuries and in Napo-
Icons time in the height of his mill
tary success and glory. the youth Of
France rushed to his colors with en-
thusiasm and bravery contributing in
no small degree TO his. many and most
famous victories. This draft upon the
boys was especially conspicuous In our
own Civil war, where both the : nth
and the South yielded up. as a willing
sacrifice, the flower OF their budding
manhood to battle for what each
thought to be right and almost sacred.
In those days the Boy Scout was
unknown in the sense he is known
today. There were boy scouts of
course. but these we're boys who as
members of the army did scout duty
for their respective regiments.
The Boy Scout of the present time
is a far different individual and his
mission IS one OF peace rather than
of war-yet he has been forced into
