WHAT SCOUTS ARE DOING.

Scouts in Peoria, ILL.,, are helping in
the movement to collect funds for the
Red Star society, which is for the care
Of horses and mules used in the war.
A campaign is on in historic Lex
ingtOn. Mass, to have all old worm
out American flags removed and have
them replaced with new flags. The
boy scouts are the ones that are doing
this.
A group of Birmingham (Ala.)
scouts went on hike to Admission, COW
erihg the GO miles In a day and a half.
Troop No. boy scouts ot Montclair

small fires in the woods on the noun
tainside in Upper Montclair.' Scout.

blaze, and by use of the telephone
gathered the fire patrol division of his
troop and was at the scene in ter
minutes.
Typical hunting lunches as made by

served by them during hree-day car
nival at the armory In Aurora, Ill. The
scouts cooked the meals as part OF

Poisoning.

Galveston. Textile captain of q

was lately taken i'll with ptomaine
poisoning. With death staring him in
the face. on account of inadequate
medical aid. he decided to call by wire
less for assistance from the physicians
at a naval station ten miles away.
The message was picked up by a
liner 100 miles away. and the ships
surgeon made all haste TO reply to this
strange - q :" with n full and de-
tailed prescription. which was without
much difficulty made up from the
tramp steamers medicine chest. and
the captains life was saved.
A fireman on n Canadian-PacifiC
liner which carries no surgeon was
attacked in midocean with internal
hemorrhage. Wireless communication
was secured with an Alan liner and

American Commander Praised.

Through its ambassador to this coun-
try the British government has just
conferred exceptional hOnors upon the
commander Of a United States navy
vessel operating in foreign waters. For
service in an encounter with German
submarine the British admiralty has
recommended the decoration Of the
Distinguished Service order for Lieut..
Com. George F. Neal, q. S. N, who
was in charge Of an American destroy
err. This ship was one Of a number
escorting transports through the war
zone when the quartermaster sighted
the wake Of a periscope. 1,SO0 yards
distant. General quarters were sound
ed and the commanding officer at once
began to maneuver with the enemy. He
Immediately shot his ship head on at
the U-boat. Getting ahead of the peri
scope he ordered a depth charge drop
ped. Nothing more was seen of the
submarine and 1t was evident that her
damage had been serious. The British
admiralty credits the success Of the
destroyer to the alertness Of the COM
mander and the manner in which he
handled the attack. Lieutenant Com
mander Neal is a native Of Tennessee.
He graduated from the naval academy
in 1897. Under the laws Of this cOun-
try officers are not allowed to receive
decorations from foreign powers.

THE BOY SCOUT OF AMERICA

dedicated to Troop No. "A. Detroit.)
Whene'er l see a troop Of scouts, bright
eyed and clear of skin,
Whene'er l hear their healthy shouts,
somehow deep down within
The soul of me l feel a thrill Of honest
joy and pride.
For these are boys that will be men ere
many years have died.
There in the making are the men on
whom the land must lean,
And they shall come unto their work with
well-trained hands and clean,
And they shall stand at Duty's post,
heads up and shoulders square.
Prepared for all the days commands and
self-reliant there.
They shall have learned the ways Of life,
the fields and running brooks,
And have a knowledge of the trees that
wasn't gained from books;
They shall know honor as a real, sub
stantial gem to pride,
And come to manhood and its cares
equipped and qualified.
When I behold troop of scouts fancy
/ can see
How strong through them the years to
come safeguarded we'll shall be,
There will be less of selfshness and more
of kindness when
The troop is mustered into life and all the
scouts are men.
