With the American Army in France,
March 3.-Volunteers g. from American
units along the Chemin des Danes
reached No Mans land in rain Of
machine gun bullets in search for the
thirteen missing men of patrol party,
but they found no trace except one man
killed. 1t is certain that the Germans
obtained prisoners from this patrol.
Details of the raid say that the
American artillerymen laid a barrage
as soon as the Germans started theirs.
Three companies Of especially trained
German shock troops, that had been
practicing for such operations for
weeks, took part in the attack. Each
company was preceded by a picked
party of twenty pioneers.
The fighting was brisk for an hour;
but the accurate machine gun and rifle
fire from the American front lines,
coupled with perfect American bar
rage which prevented reinforcements
coming up, finally forced the Germans
to withdraw after sustaining heavy
casualties and without having set foot
in the American trenches.

SCOUTS KEEN ON w. S. S. SALES.

Probably no service that the men,
bers of the Boy Scouts of America
have been called upon to render has
created so much genuine enthusiasm
throughout -the-leuefh and breadth Ct

campaign. and certainly no other serv-
Ice can be more helpful to the govern
ment or beneficial to the boys, individu-
ally or as troop members.
Each scout Is provided by the gov
eminent with franked red postcards
on which to note the sales Of stamps,
and the money Is collected by postmen
and rural carriers. This work is in
accordance with the plan definitely
outlined in the special manual for the
Boy Scouts Of America issued by the
treasury departments national war
savings committee.
The work can be carried on without
In any way interfering with school
work. other wartime activities, or the
regular scouting program.
All awards for this service will be
based upon the red post card returns
only. Any scout who takes orders
from % people will get an Achieve

In stamps the government will send

1t is the only movement In recorded
history through which this has ever

Scouting appeared at the most cru
cial time in the history of the race.
and was the prophecy Of the type or
man soon to be needed for the preser-
walton of our civilization. That man
is now coming on the stage Of action.
II is vital that his preparation should
begin with the hoy.
The world movement was ut first
spontaneous and sporadic. 1t soon be-
came necessary to organize Ii to save
its wonderful possibilities TO the world,
and in 1907, in Glasgow, Scotland,
this was done by the man whose gen
ius' had unconsciously brought the
movement into being-Sir Robert Ba-

Of the British army now fighting In

several decorations. General Carton
de Wharf was born In Brussels "a years

age of seventeen. and was thrice
wounded while serving with Brabant's
and the imperial light horse. so that
altogether he has been wounded IL
times. When the present war broke
out he went to East Africa, where he
was severely wounded. The general
in spite of the loss Of an arm ana an
eye, has proved himself brilliant ana

SCOUTS HAVE BOND POSTER.

There can he no doubt that every
boy scout realizes that the war against
Germany and her allies Is war for
boy scouts and boys who are not scouts
and for their sisters and mothers too.
The Boy Scouts Of America can take
off their coats. roll up their sleeves
and pitch In as bravely as they did a
few months ago to help their country
gather the Liberty bond money to fight
on for freedom.
The third Liberty loan finds the
scouts carrying the pledge into every
home. Their work was SO valuable i'm
the two campaigns that the govern
ment has given them Il special poster
in the third one. and one million copies
have been printed.
The Boy Scouts Of America have
been tested and found true. They have
shown their love for their country.
