BOY SCOUTS HOLD
HELPFUL MEETING

A most interesting meeting of the
Boy Scouts was held on Friday night
at the Y. M. G. A. The meeting was
presided over by Senior Patrol Leader
Craighill Brown and several new
members were present. Two inter
esting talks were made, one by Roscoe
Wallace on the Y. M. C. A. War Work
campaign and the other by Mr.. Yates
from the navy yard which was an
appeal to the boys for the comfort
of the soldiers and sailors. After
these talks, which were enjoyed by
all, the regular routine of work was
followed out and then the boys had
several games which were enjoyed
by all. z
The meeting was closed by one of
those old fashioned peanut scrambles.
The winner, Scout Stanley Wolfe,
won a bag of peanuts.

Scout Scribe.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcoraes all
cl1in diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, blackheads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, S1.O0. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and Is positively
cafe for tender, sensitive skins.

thousand dollars. Virtually all army
supplies were removed bv the few
soldiers now quartersd at the camp.

flames were controlled after about two
hours fighting.

THE SHORT, SHARP WORD.

Secretary Lane sends in his annual report a
message to this nation which it may well take
to heart. He notes that war and democracy
are hostile ideas; that men living In free fellow
ship do not willingly or readily turn to prepara-
ton for fighting their fellows of other nations
and that when this fighting is seen to be a neces-
sity they must wrench themselves out Of life
habits into new ways of acting and thinking.
This is a wise saying, and the secretary applies
it to our war power in the making and he calls
on this people for cooperation and obedience
to "the short, sharp word of command" This
is a call to intelligent obedience willingly given,
and it is a call to a requirement which will
need the peak of our courage and patriotism to
bring the best response.
Capacity for pain is a mark of rank in ma
ture and with this invariably goes power Of i'm
agination. Power of imagination makes a
courageous man the best sort of soldier, though
it makes a weak man a coward. To foresee dan
ger is to suffer it MANIFOLD. Our army will be
a highly intelligent one; our soldiers will be
men Of initiative, fully aware of what they face.
They will not fight with blind courage; their
courage will be that which discounts all sacri-
fees and assents to the outcome. But this Is
merely physical sacrifice. We, too, who are to
go into war work behind the lines to the ut
most of our man and woman power must make
Ia sacrifice. We have chosen our leaders and
assented to their leadership. Now we must fol
low; we must not let our habit of independent
thinking make us needless for a moment of the
.'short, sharp word Of command"

JAcoB JONES.

Rochester Post-ESpress: The de-
stroyer Jacob Jones, first fighting yes
sci Of the naval establishment to be
lost IN the war, was named for a hero
of the war 1912. Jacob Jones was a
native of Delaware, educated for the
medical profession but became clerk
OF the supreme court of his state and
1t was not until he was 81 years old
that he left that comfortable station
in 1893 n entered the navy as mid
sh1pman. He was second lieutenant
on the Philadelphia when that ship
grounded on a reef off the harbor OF
Trpiolf which s%ursuing a Tripolitan
%corsair in 1903. With 314 other
Americans, including William Balm
bridge. David Porter, Daniel Tod
Patterson and James Biddle. all after
wards famous in American naval an
nails. he was made prisoner n suf-
fered eighteen months rigorous cap
tiVlty marked by ingenious and sensa.
ton attempts to escape. but which
ives ended by an exchange of prison
ers and payment of 100000 ransom.
The breaking out of the war of 1872
found Jones commander of the sloop-
of-war Wasp. On the night of October
II, 1912, his ship fell in with the
brig-of-war Frolfc conveying a fleet~of
five merchantmen off Albemarle sound.
The ships were evenly matched, the
British having slightly the heavier
armament and the American the larg-
er crew. The fight lasted forty-three
minutes and was ended by the ships
closing and American sailors swarm
ing over the rail and capturing the
Frolic. Only twenty men of the Frolic
were unhurt and every officer was
killed while the Wasp suffered loss of
five killed and five wounded. 1t was
the first naval victory for the Ameri-
cans and greatly heartened the pat
riots. although it gained them nothing,
as a few hours later the British sew
enty-four gun frigate Poictiers appear
ed on the scene and took both victor
and vanquished ships and escorted
them to Bermuda.
Jones was given a gold medal and
a vote Of thanks by congress; his ma
tive state gave him a piece of plate
and several other states presented him
swords. He was made post-captain
and commanded the Macedonian of
Decatur's squadron. A~fterward he
commanded squadrons in the Mediter-
ranean and the Pacific, was a COM
missary of the navy board and govern
or of the Philadelphia naval asylum.
He died in Philadelphia in 1850.

THE BLACKLIST AT WORK.
Bernard Barton.

Germany's financial hold on South America
will be greatly impaired, if not completely
loosened, by the blacklisting of the institutions
through which this hold is maintained. And in
proportion as Germany's financial power wanes
in South America her political influence will
be ended there. The full significance of the &C
ton by this government will not be Immediately
appaInt, except to those intimately in touch
with the South American situation. But it is
patent that it will deal a severe blow to the pro-
German agencies at work among the South and
Central American peoples and, by this, it will
strengthen the position of those governments
which have made common cause with us against
the imperial autocracy. To ~neutrals it will
serve notice that we intend to insist on genuine
neutrality. Something like three billion dollars
is represented il the Communicating firms with
which this government now regulates any bust
ness dealings; of this sum more than a third is

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
BRUCE AND The sPIpER.

For scotland's and for Freedoms right
The Bruce his part had played,
In five successive fields OF fight
Been conquered and dismayed;
Once more against the English host
His band he led, and once more lost
The need for which he fought;
And now from battle, faint and worn,
A huts lone shelter sought.
And cherries was that resting place
For him who claimed a throne,
His canopy, devoid of grace,
The rude, rough beams alone;
The heather couch his only bed
Yet well / ween had slumber fled
From couch of eider-down;
Through darksome night till dawn of day,
Absorbed in wakeful thoughts, he lay,
OF Scotland and her crown
The sun rose brightly, and its CLEAN
Fell on that hapless bed,
And tinged with light each %shapeless beam
Which rooted the lowly she'd:
When, looking UP with wistful eye,
The Bruce beheld a spider try
His filmy thread to fling
From beam to beam of that rude cot,
And well the Insects toilsome lot s.
Taught Scotland's future king.
Six times his gossamery thread
The wary spider threw;
In vain the filmy line was sped.
For powerless or untrue
Each aim appeared, and back recoiled.
The patient insect, six times foiled,
And yet unconquered still;
And soon the Bruce, with eager eye,
Saw him prepare once more to try
His courage, strength and skill.
One effort more, his seventh and last
The hero hailed the sign!-
And on the wished-for beam hung fast
That slender, silken line!
Slight as it was, his spirit caught
The more than omen, for his thought
The lesson well could trace,
Which even "he who runs may read"
That Perseverance gains its need,
And Patience wins the race.
