HEADQUARTERS NOTES.

Scouts are scurrying around the city these days after school distributing President Wilson's Flag Day address. The scheme of distribution is that each scout secure the promises to read the speech from fifteen prominent men and women. These in turn are to pass the speech on to someone else also securing the promise that it be read. Any one no treceiVing one of these addresses may get one by ap- plying at Scout Headquarters, sos Court Exchange. Inclosed in each address is a pink colored post card carrying frank" privileges. This card lists fifteen periodicals on war information and any one holding one of these pink cards has the privilege of sending for any two pamphlets he chooses.
 The distribution of this Flag Day address is the first work to be done by our Scouts under commission direct | ly from the President himself com missioning the Scouts as Government Dispatch Bearers" The government has also furnished a special identif1ca- tion card for each scout. This card will be a proud possession as the scouts grow to manhood.

LONDON NEWSPAPERS
IN CONTROVERSY
OVER RALE|GH'S
BURIAL PLACE

LONDON, Dec. 2. Newspap-
ers have been engaged in a con-
troversy as to the location of the
burial place of Sir Walter Raleigh
in connection with the celebration
of the 3OOth anniversary of his
birth. Biographers of Raleigh
supposed that, after his execution,
the body was buried in the channel
of ST. Margarets.
The Times, however, suggests
that his body was placed there for
a short time only and that Raleigh
really was buried at Reddington, in
Surry, where the widow desired
that he should rest. Raleigh's
head was embalmed and cherished
by his widow in a red leathern
bagge'' to the day of her death.
The head was afterward inferred
in the church at West Horsley,
in Surrey.

WORLD RELIEF
WEEK PLANNED

Nevada, with every other state,
will observe World Relief Week"
by means of an extensive program
extending over the week beginning
Dec. 2, according to an announce
ment today by the federal food ad-
ministration for Nevada. Special
messages from President Wilson,
Herbert Hoover and others in the
churches, women's organizations
and schools will be read at regular
or called meetings, and a general
statewide campaign will be made
to impress upon every loyal Ne
vadan that America must feed a
starving world"
1.-THE purpose of the entire cam
paign," runs the food administra-
tons statement, sis to bring forci-
bly, before Americans the chance of
food administration activities from
a war basis to a basis of world re-
relief. We are deeply appreciative
of the remarkable work that has
been accomplished by self-denial
during a year and a half of war,
1t is our confidence in the effect
iveness of American conservation
that leads us now to rely upon the
nation for the immensely greater
and more necessary humanitarian
program that confronts us. We,
and we alone, must succor a strick-
en- world. If we fail, God forgive
us; our national conscience never
will"

10 MONTHS REQUIRED
FOR RETURN OF
j. S. TROOPS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. go
Boston, New York, Newport News
and Charleston are ports the war
department plans to use for the re-
turn of the army overseas.
Even with this wide distribution
Of the strain on port facilities.
however, and with German ships
employed in the task, there is evil
dence to show that the last of the
army can not possibly reach the
United States in less than eight
months.
Conservative calculations upon
which the preparations Of the war
department will probably be based
have fixed 10 months as the mini
mum.
These estimates are wholly on
the basis of physical difficulties to
be overcome. They do not take
INTO consideration the question of,
retention in Europe for some time'
of American forces, which may be
agreed upon at the peace confer
nee.
