SCOUT TO BE PRESIDENT

welcome any movement which will
Intensity young mans attachment to
his church and religion, says DR.. S. r.
Gordon of Tulsa, Okla.
The boy scout movement only brings
the boy in closer touch with the
church. The government now wants
men to go to the front and fight. 1t
wants and needs good, clean, strong
men.
At the close of this awful world con-
11ict there will be greater need for
good men than now. When this war is
over, there will be confusion, dissatis-
faction, unrest, anarchy, high taxes,
high cost of living and demoraliza-
uton. Sorrow, mourning and distress
will prevail.
Under such conditions the nation
will need strong, educated, religious
men as leaders. And the boy scout
movement is going to provide such
leaders. The boy scouts are prepar-
ing themselves, not to fight, not to
shed blood, but to be wise leaders,
and to conduct the people out of the
wilderness Of greed supremacy and
worldliness, into the Canaan of peace,

SCOUT PROGRAM IN WAR.

Prof. Norman e. Richardson of Bos-
ton university tells the Boy Scouts Of
America that the war in European ma
tons has resulted in a rapid increase
Of juvenile delinquency. Information
that has been carefully secured goes to
show that this increase in II Of the
larger cities and towns of Great Brit
ain during one year averaged "a per
cent. The causes of this unfortunate
condition are in many instances SINH
lar to forces that have already begun
to operate in America. It is impera-
tive that the American people take
time by the forelock in this matter
by setting in motion Immediately in
f1uences that will counteract number
Of injurious forces which will play
upon the lives of our boys during the
coming months and possibly years.
A careful study Of the causes Of in
creased delinquency and of the suita-
bility Of the Boy Scout program to re-
duce the harm coming from these in
tiuences presents a powerful argument
for the immediate enlistment of thou

Macao Is a prosperous city, as most

NEWssoYS TAKE UP SCOUTING.

Newsboys Of Houston, Tex, many Of
whom are "good scouts" already, are
going to align themselves with the Boy
Scouts of America.

the boys IN a number Of boxing match
es and wrestling bouts, which were put
on for the entertainment Of the guests.

Beautiful Chinese Gardens.

From time immemorial China has
been called the fowery kingdom, a
name given by the Chinese themselves
and singularly suited to the land which
for ages was like an oasis of flowers
of the spirit in the world desert of
barbarism, observes the New York
World.
In this oasis grew the arts of the
bronze and stone worker, of the silk
maker and embroiderer, of the potter,
of the painter on silk, of the poet,
philosopher and ethical devotee.
But China was not named the flow
cry kingdom because Of these flowers
of the mind. Her flora is one of the
most luxuriant in the world. 1t is es-
tlmated to consist of some 10000 spe-
cies, 5000 of which are known and one
half of which are indigenous and not
found elsewhere.
Such being the flora of China, 1t Is
readily understood that horticulture
and gardening early became skilled
and honored profession.

New York, May S.-The American
steamship Tyler, formerly on Old Do
minion line freighter, has been tor
pedOed' and sunk off the French coast,
according to information received in
marine circles here. Eleven members
OF the crew were killed or drowned.
The Tyler was vessel of 1928 tons

sunk on May 3.
U. S. Steamer Defeats "Sub."
Washington, May S.-A fight be-
tween the American steamer Tide
water and a German submarine on
March II, in which the submarine was
defeated and perhaps sunk, was re-
ported by the navy department. The
departments announcement said:
1.-The commander Of the armed
guard on the steamship Tidewater re-
ports to the navy department that on
March IL about IL 80 p. m. subma-
rin'e was sighted off the starboard
bow, heading toward the vessel, about
100 yards off. AS the ship turned 1t
missed the submarine by not more
than 20 feet. The U-boat was then
submerging. The ships guns were
brought to bear and the first shot hit
some distance ahead of her wake.
"The pointer fired the second shot
and had what the captain, the chief
engineer and myself and other mem
bers of the crew called a clean hit
and was satisfied that it was effective.
The third shot was fired by the boat
SWANS mate in charge of the after
guns crew, having her spotted and
firing in the position in which she last
submerged. We resumed our course
and commenced zigzagging, standing
by for an attack, but the submarine
did not appear again. We made all
preparations for an attack at day
break, but there were no signs Of
submarine"
Canadian Ship Sinks "Diver."
An Atlantic Port, May 8.-The first
Canadian vessel to sink submarine
has arrived in this port. When about
700 miles out from the British isles
the vessel sighted a 3OO-foot subma-
rine crossing it's bow, about 1 800 yards
off. Getting up full steam, it attempt
ed to ram the U-bOat. The submarine
dived so as to obtain a position from
which to attack, but soon came up
again, probably because Of engine trou-
BILE.
The merchant vessel meanwhile had
drcled and trained it's stern gun on
the spot where the submarine had
submerged and when the U-boat again
appeared one shot was fired, which hit
it amidships.
