BOY SCOUTS NEED
 TO SECURE LEADERS.
Campaign for Men to Help in Work
 Will Be Carried On.

As the war conditions have placed the Boy Scouts in a critical position as to leaders, a campaign will be con- ducted here beginning June 1st and continuing to June 8, inclusive. It is the desire of the local council to se- cure as many leaders as possible that the efficient work of the Boy Scouts may go on unhampered. Norman E.. Hines, efficiency deputy. has received copy of the letter which President Wilson has sent to Colin H. Living stone. president of the national coun- cil of Boy Scouts, expressing his de- sire that all should come forward to help this great movement of the scouts. The: letter follows:
 The White House,
 Washington. My Dear Mir. Livonstone:
 The fine efficiency of the Boy Scouts of America in serving the country must, of course, be maintained. The army and navy have drawn heavily upon it's ranks for men who have gone forth very gladly to make, if need be- the supreem sacrifice. Men are needed as a consequence as scoutma sters and leaders to take their places. Money is needed, moreover, to build this ef- ficient unit of the national service up to full strength.
 I hope that all who can make gifts to the organization or serve as scout masters will feel it their duty to helr to organize the hundreds of thousands of boys who need the leadership and the impulse of the Boy Scouts in or der that the nation may have their in- telligent service.
 Anything that is done or given fc increase the war efficiency of the Boy Scouts of America will be real con- tribution to the nation and will helr win the war.
 Sincerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON. Colin H. Livingstone, President,
 National Council,
 Boy Scouts of America.
