 than 1000 hours have been put in already
 this month and more Scouts report for work than there are places to work. The standing for the month thus far is as follows: Troop F, 21, 15, 27 ,5o. 49, 5, 10. 16. T. ?, A, 42. 14. 2s. q. p. s5. 25. 19, 8, IT, 40.
 BOUQUETS Special mention is made of Troop q in connection with W. S. S. sales, thus far this troop having sold over s34.ooo. A letter has just been received al Scout headquarters from Mir. George Creel, chairman of committee on public information, in which he says: q wish to take this opportunity to express to you my appreciation for the assistance the Boy Scouts of America have been to the committee in it's work. "As dispatch bearers the Boy Scouts have carried the message of our Presi- i dent to more than 5,000,0o0 homes, and as result of the postcards enclosed. the committee has filled nearly 100000
 requests for pamphlets on the vital ques-
 tions of the war.
 The Boy Scouts have had their part in winning this battle and they can do
 much to help maintain the unity so es- sential to victory"
 The following note of appreciation has
 been received from State Director Crit tenden: ! T have for sometime thought of writ- ing you and expressing to you and through you, to the boys themselves, the hearty appreciation of the Alabama four minute men for the help that your boys have been to us in our work of spread ing the message of our government to the people of the state.
 "The boys have never failed to respond to every request made of them and the
 services they have rendered have been
 most acceptable indeed. They are a fine bunch of fellows and want you to ex- press to them, at your first opportunity the appreciation of the state director, secretary and chairman of the womans division and all those connected with the state headquarters for the fine spirit
 the boys have exhibited and for the val- uable work they have done."

 With the American Army at the Front At early dusk this evening a drizzling rain is falling, giving assur- ance of another unpleasant night for the American army which is pushing the Germans back on a 30-kilometer it18-mile) front west of the Mouse. At this particular moment the troops I am with are stalled in the midst of a tangle of traffic, waiting to pass an immense crater produced by mine which the Germans exploded in the cen- ter of the roadway.
 On one side of the road are miles of trucks loaded with ammunition, trains

England to Protect Birds
Peoples Home Journal

-oi eho Teople'S Home Journal. occupied as she is with the terrible business of war, England yet has time 10 think of the birds. In fact, it is be. cause she has this terrible war on her hands that her thoughts are turning to her feathered allies
 An appeal bearing the names of some ol the greatest scientists in England mas recently been issued pointing out
 the value of birds in this time of na- tionai peril and food shortage and during
 the necessity of protecting them This appeal IS based on the argument that "uhout birds the food crops so neces- sary to Englands civilian population and ner armies will be damaged by insects.
 Just as in the United States, there are
 misguided persons in England who are urging that, because Of the war, birds De Killed for food. The English scien- I lists pointed out what a mistaken idea
 tnls is' These birds, if killed, would supply very little food it was pointed out while alive they destroy countless
 s"arms of insects that are injurious to crops.
 Ihe scientists appeal, in the name of patrlotism, to agricultural bodies, gar aening associations. and schools to give
 ,inneulate nm and determined protection to pirds and their nests. In effect, the scientists urge the necessity in England or bird sanctuaries, such as those estab- lished in the United States by the Peo- ple's Home Journal
 one or the strongest points made by the English scientists was the value of such birds as hawks and owls There are many persons who look upon birds ol tnese species as useless if not actual ly harmful They are willing to pro- tect songstsers. but there is no appeal
 10 them in songless birds.
 But It Is birds of the hawk and. owl
 families that the English scientists par
 tlcuiariy commend, and in this they are
 borne out by the scientists of the depart
 ment of agriculture of the United States.
 Ihese birds not only devour immense
 ,umpers or insects such as grasshoppers,
 put serve to keep in check the hordes
 or rats and fieio mice which are so
 destructive to grain crops

The UNDRlETED ARMY

To the civilian American who feels
a keen desire TO be represented as dl'
rectly as possible in his country's serv-
ice the Red Cross brings an appeal OF
peculiar force For the Red Cross
worker comes into the closest contact
with the actual struggle that is possi-
lie TO any save the soldier himself.
On the heels OF death and destruction
he presses so closely in his mission of
mercy as TO be almost part OF the
battle. His are the hands that first
minister TO the shattered body; his
the ears that hear the last faint mes
sage of many a parting soul. Through
the further help of these brothers and
sisters of the Novtiate of Pain, life
after life is drawn back from the bor-
derland; cleanliness and comfort and
trained care lessen the anguish, or,
when death must be, makes easier the
passing. To our boys when they land
is held out; as they travel from place
TO place comforts are provided. The
SCARED and broken remnant OF peo-
pie scourged by ruthless devastation
the aged and the women and the
piteously helpless children to whom
our longing sympathy goes out, the,
Red Cross ministers to these in our
stead
In all this and measureless other
service these workers are vital and
omnipresent force, We who are LETT
at home may work by proxy through
them. We can keep them there and
send others, with our money, the least
precious possession that men and
women are being called on to give up.
Our dollars can take us there In spirit
and represent us in accomplishment.
The little red button is the badge OF
enlistment in the Army of the I'm
drafted the outward symbol of the
pledge to serve.
Won't you join the Red Cross during
the Christmas membership drive,
which begins Dec II? Or, bet
ter still, send in your 81 for member,
ship now and then enlist as a solicitor
for other memberships in the Christ,
mas drive 1t is your duty to do this,
and ii is God-gven privilege.
Humanity is calling, and if you are
human you will respond Act now!

The American Red Cross assumes

caused by the war.

may have more important bearing
on the military situation even than
work done with the forces, for men in
