/ Scouts Celebrate Anniversary-Sat-
urday night Ell Centro Troop No. l Of
the Boy Scouts of America met at the
home of their scoutmaster, Frank w.
Young. Mr.. Young appointed the fol-
lowing officers to serve for the fol-
lowing year: Robert Kuykendall, troop
president; William P. Hall, Jr., vice

retary; Donald Dickson, troop treas
urer, and Merwin Greer, assistant sec
,etary. After talking over some plans
for the coming year, Mrs. Young, ably

berry shortcake and punch. Needless
10 say these were fully appreciated
by the boys. At the meeting the boys
decided to have "The Adventures of
Boy Scout picture play, on the
afternoon of May 13. Those who have
seen the picture speak highly of it.
Among other decisions. one was to
hoist the new flag on Memorial day.
Now for a short review of the last
year: One year ago some boys asked
f. w. Young if they could become boy
scouts. Mr.. Young said that he would
try to for ma troop, so on April 80,
1915, the troop was formed. When
first formed, many people told them
that they would not last long, but by
the middle of May several boys passed
their first test. Now there are five
who have passed their second test and
several more are ready. One year
has passed and they are preparing for
some big doing this next year

In less than a minute reinforce

range, their fire, assisted by rifles
from the American guard, which was
still back on the hills before the can

flight. A detachment pursued the
bandits until darkness ended the
chase. The Americans camped in the
canyon-a feint-for soon after dark
they took up night ride, hoping to
surprise the Villistas in the next town
Santa Cruz "a different place from
the town of that name occupied by
Major Tompkins after the Parral
fight. During the bivouac they bur-
led Kirby's body under a tree.
Santa Cruz was reached soon after
midnight, where a running fight in
the darkness occurred. There the
score of the afternoons fight was
even. One Villista was killed. A
nephew of General Beltran, the Viii
lista leader, was captured The white
horse, belonging to his father, also a
General Beltran and jefe de armas

trans sabre, along with some valu-
able arms, was taken.
The trail in this region was so pre-
cipitous that the first cavalryman into
Santa Cruz went up the side of the
ravine afoot, clinging with one hand
to the tail of his horse. Another SOL
dier, an orderly, became so absorbed
in the fighting that he rushed to a
lieutenant, exclaiming:
"Here, lieutenant, hold my horse so
| can shoot"
The lieutenant, at that moment
ept stationary by other duties, held
, the horse until the orderly could take
{. few shots.
The column continued after this
| fight to beyond Casita, until they

He was Lieutenant |. A. RAIDER, tho

pursuit.
The aviator rose, returning to Ca
sta, where he delivered General Per
shing's orders to Major Howe afte
the Parral fight. The column turne'
northwest to join Tompkins.

Upward to 200--- Number

It is estimated now that upwards of
some two hundred midshipmen have
failed in the semi-annual eXamina-
tions at the Naval Academy. which is
an unprecedented number of delm-
quents, il is said
Pending final action by the academic
board upon the reports from the sew
erai departments. the authorities at
the Academy could not say exactly
how many failed bat it was admitted
that the number viii be more than
two hundred
The board will meet in the next day
or two TO consider the deficiency list.
The authorities are keenly surprised
over the large number of deficiencies
since the monthly reports had not
shown more than a normal number Of
students tagging behind in their work.
The midshipmen state the large
number Of failures is due TO less
dope" for the tests being given them.
Mathematics, it is said. proved to be
the stumbling block for those who
failed in their examinations.
The tests III modern languages also
were trippers. The authorities. how
ever. declare that the examinations
