Seventeen Lives Lost in War.
issued by James E. West, chief scout
executive. In his appeal Mr.. West said:
Service, Not Record, Is Motive.

The underlying motive and object Of
the Boy Scouts participation in the lib
erty loan campaign Is service and not
a record. The scout officials through
out the country who participated in
the working out of the details for this
campaign realize that the boys could
have perhaps secured a greater num-
ber of subscriptions earlier in the cam
paign and with less effort. but 1t was
thought best to allow the other organi-
cations and the regular channels of the
campaign to do their best and then to
have the scouts come in at the close
and secure subscriptions from those
who had been overlooked.
Notwithstanding the war service
emblems and other recognition to be
given to scouts, it is not a question
with them as to who secures the sub
scriptions. but rather a determination
thtt every one shall be given an oppor-
tunity to take one or more bonds.
The fact that the Boy Scouts house
| toulouse canvass does not come until
october 20 In no way affects their ac-
| tive work prior to that date. They
have been invaluable to the liberty

| ganizations In the distribution of pos

1t is believed. too. that the destroyer
must have been steaming slowly over
her beat. for at top speed these craft
present almost unhitable targets to the
submarine.
This is the first time an American
warship has been hit by the enemy
since the war began. Destroyers con-
voying troops and merchantmen have
engaged submarines and are believed
to have accounted for some OF them.
and the ships patrolling the European
shipping lanes undoubtedly have had
many an encounter of which nothing
has been heard, but until this event
none had been touched by a hostile
shot.
Naval gun crews on armed American
merchantmen have not been so Tor
tunate Many of them have had to
abandon their charges and take to the
boats, usually after an UNIV armed tor
pedo attack, and one officer and fhir-
teen men have lost their lives. while
four men now are In German prison
camps.
Seventeen Lives Lost in War.
In all the Navy has lost one officer
and sixteen men-the only men OF
Americas fighting forces actually kill
ed in action.
Lieut.. Clarence c. Thomas, command
ing the gun crew of the tank steamer
Vacuum, and four of his men were the
first Of the Nays casualty list. In
addition to the men lost on merchant
men and Gunner's Mate Ingram, two
naval flyers have lost their lives at the
French front.
