the entire route. Scoutmaster Mof-
fat being absent, the scouts were
in charge of Assistant Scoutmaster
John Paul. After the parade Troop

The scouts of Troop 10 are very
much in favor of Scout Diener's idea
of forming n Boy Scout Basketball
League. If it can be done 1t will
be a great thing for the scouts and
the mem bers of this troop are willing
to back the idea to the limit.
The scout football team of Troop
19 was defeated by the Boas Street
All-Star aggregation, "a to 3. The
defeat was due to poor knowledge
of the signals. 1t was the first game
of the scouts and they hope to give
a better account of themselves next
time. The scouts lone touchdown
was scored on the first play in which
they had the ball. Hamer. protected
by splendid interference, tore through

Plattsburg Boys Have
New Song to Cheer Them
on Long, Long Marches

"Oh, it's not the pack that you car
ry on your back,
Nor the Springfield on your shoul-
der,
Nor the five-inch crust of khaki
colored dust,
That makes you think your grow
ing older;
And it's not the hike on the broad
turnpike
That drives away your smile.
Nor the socks of sisters, that raise
the blooming blisters,
It's the last. long mile"
Plattsburg, Nov. 2.-That's one
of the new songs that the Plattsburg
candidates for commissions are sing
ing on hike, and one they will car
rysuwith them when they, in turn,
z out to train the next lot of
National Army soldiers. The words
and music of "The Last. Long Mile"
were written by Candidate Brett

Regiment. Robert Lloyd, song lead
er for the War and Navy Depart
ment's Commissions on Training
Camp Activities, who has been train
ing the Plattsburg men in song for
the last three weeks, is passing the
new song along to other leaders as
one of the best marching songs that
have come out of the camps. Re-
Gently, Mr.. Lloyd led the $500 candi-
dates of the Plattsburgh camp in
a big sing for the Liberty Loan drive.
He also gave special instruction in
tone to the embryo officers at Platts-
burg. as one OF the greatest diff
culties in the officers training camps
and one that has caused the great
est number of failures to secure

of the men to give commands loudly
and clearly.
