It was a fine thing for the Allies
that our enemies yielded one at a
time. beginning with the weakest and
ending with the strongest. 1t was
much easier to handle them that way.
AS Washington diplomat remarked
when the German armistice terms
were being arranged:
I'VE have been getting great prac-
tice. We think of somebody new TO
put in each armistice as we write.
The one to Germany is bound to be a
finished work of art"
So il is, no doubt. The experience
OF the allied governments with Bull
garia, Turkey and Austria Hungary
not only taught them the necessary
technique, but gave them clear idea
OF how much the enemy would stand,
and what demands were necessary to
impose in order TO nail and clinch the
allied victory, insuring the carrying
out of our peace program.
Peace-making, like any other &C
tivity. naturally improves with prac-
tice. II we had another enemy TO
deal with. we could dictate armistice
terms in our sleep and put them into
effect before breakfast next morning.

THIS BUG HAS cows FACE

You would perhaps not notice this
cow-like face and fur collar unless you
should use a pocket lens. which every
scout should have. Then you will find
the Monohammus or Sawyer beetle ex-
tremely interesting, says Edward F.
Bigelow, Scout Naturalist. discussing
this curious insect in November Boys
Life. These beautiful brown and gray
beetles are, including the antennae,
about an inch and quarter long. The
antennae or feelers are as long as
the body in the case of the female,
and twice as long in the male.
Where shall you look for these cur
ious beetles? Search among the
needle-like leaves of the pine and fir.
The larvae are found in the sound
wood of these trees Sometimes the
mature beetles occur in such numbers
as to do real injury to the trees, but
ordinarily they are not very plentiful,
and most scouts are not familiar with
them, even where they are fairly
abundant.

sCOUT.MAsTERS

There is a great dearth of scout
masters in the land. The number OF
boys who want TO become scouts is
constantly increasing. But most of
the scout-masters have gone to war.
There are still plenty of possible
men left at home-men with depen-
dents or with slight physical defects
which kept them out of the arduous
strain of the army, but which would
not prevent them from helping boys
to learn manly sports and principles.
The reason why more of these men do
not come forward to act as scout-mas-
tiers is perhaps found in the faulty
training of the generation which pre-
ceded that of the scouts. These men
did not, in youth, learn the things
which are now to be taught. They
cannot swim. They cannot stand long
tramps. They cannot cook over a
make camp or to strike camp neatly
and effectively. Many of them haven't
even sense enough to see that picnic
fire is thoroughly put out. Some of
them cannot keep clean and speak the
truth.
But there is hope ahead. When the
grown-ups begin to come back from
the war, or just from the canton
ments where they have had military
life, what masters they will make.
They know the real things of life in
the open. They will have had to learn
things, as the Indians did, from sheer
necessity.
How straight they will stand! How
strong they will be! What a far light
there will be in their eyes! And how
many interesting things they will
know, and what interesting tales they
will have to tell!
Cheer up, scouts. There's good
time coming.

organizations with big men at the
head of them are essential to the doing
of big things.
We shall merely insist that those
who WELD great power of any sort
military, financial, commercial, indus
trial-shall be actuated by a spirit OF
public service and submissive TO the
will and interests of the people, just
as are the present leaders of world
democracy in the Allied armies and
Allied councils.

EIGHT HOURS

One of our largest employers OF la
Dor, Henry Ford, acting as an UNI
pire for the National War Labor
board, has come out fiat for the eight
hour-day principle.
He is not for the eight-hour basic
day-that is, eight hours taken as
mere basis fol- reckoning a days pay,
though the working day itself may be
longer. 1t is not good polly, he in
fists, to Civ. what may seem fair
days wages for the first eight hours
and then keep the employee working
on top of that for ''time-and-a-half for
overtime and double time Sundays
and holidays" Eight hours is enough,
and the pay should be based on that
absolute fact.
MY experience, and also my rea-
son." he explains, teaches me that
very few emergencies ever exist in a
manufacturing business justifying the
practice of exceeding eight working
hours per day. The strain of eight
hours is enough, and the hours should
never be increased except under the
most extraordinary circumstances.
cannot dwell too much on this. For
the good of the men, for the good of
the employer AND for the general re-
suits, would admonish those inter-
ested 10 adhere to the straight eight
hour day"
The public is inclined to agree with
Mr.. Ford.

CAPITALIZATION

The success of the Allied cause
dates from the day when all the AL
lies agreed TO pool their military pow
er and fight under a centralized COM
mand. 1t is not generally realized
how the fine work of Foch's armies
has been promoted by a subsequent
Capitalization of economic power
Ii may be said without eXaggera-
tion that all the essential economic
resources of the Allied powers are
now pooled for war purposes. Every
thing is co-ordinated. There is not
such absolute unity as exists in Mar
shall Foch's armies: but there is
enough unity for all practical pur-
poses, effected through the medium of
the Interallied Councils of War, Ship
ping, Munitions, Food and Finance.
These councils. sitting continuously,
see that deficits are supplied, .hurtful
competition is avoided and there is
no wasteful duplication of productive
effort. Red tape is swept away The
system works almost automatically.
1t is a wonderful exhibition of the
benefits of concerted action, in a
sphere where such action would form
erly have been thought impossible,
and on scale more vast than any
business man ever dreamed of before
this war. The lesson will not be lost,
either in international affairs or in
domestic affairs.
We are getting used to big things
big numbers, big institutions, big
systems of cooperation. big centrali-
cations of authority. We shall not be
afraid of big business" hereafter. We
shall recognize more clearly that large

IN MEMORIAM

RODGERS-In memory of our dear baby,
Charles Redginal Rodgers, who died
Gone, but not forgotten,
Oh, how hard we tried to save him;
Prayers and tears were all in vain,
Happy angels came and took him,
From this world of toll and pain.
Yet again, we hope to meet him,
When the day of life has fed;
When in heaven, with joy to greet him,
Where no farewell tears are shed.

Film for Cohar,

The United States government will

Public Information, George Creel. chair
man, division of films, Charles S. Hart
director, the second Official American
war film, Americas Answer" at the
George M. Cohan Theatre, starting
Monday night, July 29.
This feature film in eight reels will
be the successor to "Pershing's Cru
saders." 1t will tell the story of the
arrival in France of the first half-mill-
ion men of the American army and of
what they have accomplished.
From conveyed transport to the first
line trenches, the activities of the
American army in France are vividly
portrayed.
The building Of eight hundred miles
Of railroad in France, the erection of
enormous docks, storage warehouses
and railroad shops, where hundreds of
American built locomotives are as
scmbled, and all of the work which is
being done for the maintenance Of tho
American cxpeditionary force in France
will he reproduced on the screen.
There will also be shown the arrival
and landing of our boys and interest

director never calls the actors anything
that they aren't, nor jumps on his hat;
Miss Kane never gets temperamental
and acts like a star; the men in the
company are so jolly and careful that
one knows instinctively that neither of
them is married. and all of the stage
carpenters and property boys are an
gels. We are sure that if there hap
pened to be lion and lamb in the
picture they would lie down together
"The Greater Test" might mean many
things. 1t might mean, for instance,
that ones risibiltics cracked under the
strain when Gail Kane played the vio-
lin. But it doesn't. 1t means that Gail
Kane, beautiful and abandoned Polish
girl (abandoned at birth, to be explicitly
has been adopted by Courtenoy Foote
and is being taught to play the violin.
In the scene which was being filmed
Gail is holding her audience spellbound.
She is standing in an easy and dreamy
attitude, with her great eyes rolled up
to indicate "soul." The subtitle says,
"And when Sonia plays she lures the
soul of you away to where the fields
are green and the waters are STILL" and
then Miss Kane played "Celeste Aida"
on one string, while the pianist rem
dered the "Humoresque" on a baby
grand.
All of the innocent bystanders tried
to look spellbound, and it seemed to us
as though they earned more than SIS q
day.
Miss Kane confided to us later, as a
great secret, that she only learned to
play the violin yesterday. Somehow we
suspected it from the first. There was
something about her performance which
told us that she was not what the pro-
grammes call a virtuoso. But, then,
some one once told US that our intui-
ton was uncanny.

ing scenes Of their daily life in the
trenches and in rest camps.
There will also be panoramic views
Of military activities at the front and
other highly interesting scenes, which
will be announced in detail when the
picture is presented to the public.
"America's Answer" has been selected
and assembled from over thirty thou
sand feet Of film which was made by
order Of General John ]. Pershing
under the direction of the General
Staff, and photographed by the signal
corps of the American expeditionary
force in France.
This film was brought to this coun-
try by an officer who was assigned by
the General Staff for that purpose.
All of this film has been previously
seen and approved by General Pershing
who is taking the keenest interest in
the filming of what will ultimately be
complete pictorial history of Americas

name and returns to New York. Here
he inhcrits the fruits of all the trou-
BILE the black sheep had started, but q

sen at Luna, with three festival days
adding an extra quota of visitors and
including benefit for the Stage
Women's War Relief; also an outing
arranged by "Big Bill" Edwards for

Luna, arranged continuous pro-
gramme of entertainment at Castle
Hall, provided by themselves and under
the leadership of Cousin Eleanor
Schorcr, and gathered in thousands of

This feat spells the red letter effort at
Luna and was the most successful event
ever held at the park.

with Joseph F. Moran, president Of the
holding company of the Belmont Thea
ire, assumed the direction of that
playhouse, and will make a series %
productions of plays of special Interest,"

1t will be Mr.. Payne's idea to organ
ize and maintain a company of players
selected with a view to achieving that
ensemble" in the acting which is the
outstanding claim to distinction OF the
repertory company. The plays to be
produced will covec wide range, in
cluding, besides the work of contem-
porary American and Continental writ
ers, occasionally revivals from the
work of the classic authors.

by Mratin E. Johnson, companion to
Jack London on the famous voyage Of

lent players, including Herbert Rawlin-
son, I. Henderson Murray and Arthur
Houseman.
