NEW YORK, Aug lj.-Thrown
back into the desert created by Hindcn-
burg in the great retreat of 1917, the
Germans are now desperately strug
Cling to organize a defense along the
old Sommc line from which they were
driven III the summer campaign OF 1910
With their flankS still holding above
the Disc and between the Somme and
the Ancrc, the Germans have been
temporarily successful in holding up
the Anglo French advance all the way
from Chaulnes southwark TO Lassigny
and Ribccourt
In this effort the Germans have obvi-
ously been able to turn to advantage the
intricate systems of defense, allied and
German alike, created before the Sommc
fighting and in a more or less dilapi-
dated condition surviving from 1910.
Hun Must Go Farther Back.
Despite the temporary pause there
is llue reason to believe that Ludcn-
dorfi can permanently check his retreat
west OF the line oifthe upper Somme on
a front from Bapaume through Pc
rome and Ham to the high ground
north Of the Oise and about Noyon.
His present reaction compares with the
stand on the hills north Of the Ourcq,
which were defended as in intermediate
line between the Marne and Vesle.
II is essential to recognize that the
strategic profit OF the Picardy offenst
has already Sen largely harvested. Th,
british and French are bound TO push
their success as lar as it can be cheap
ly pushed but the desert before then
now has little or no immediate value
and is decidedly not worth any Rrea'
expense in men or munitions, Whether

all, anything like what happened in tho
Marine campaign OF 1914 1t is impos-
sble, given present numbers and the
relatively restricted front to break ths
whole enemy line. Partial breaks, liks
those the Germans made in March.
April and May quickly led to the re-
establishment of the defeated allies on
new positions behind the broken front.
The same thing happened following the
German defeat Al the Marne three weeks
ago and is obviously forcshadowed IN

The only war OF movement possible,
is between the position out OF which
the enemy has been forced and the po-
Siton to which he retires.

Accordingly, the old condition Of
trench warfare returns. II is only be-

movement is possible The movement
is really a pursuit OF the enemy from
one line to another ard the capture Of
men and guns takes place in the first
two or three days while the effect OF
the surprise remains In the present
case the element OF surprise has been
exhausted the enemy is getting up re-

where a general break through and dis-
location Of the whole line Is possible.

Scouts Go to Spooky
Hollow For Revelry

This "spooky Hollow" is some
place for a hike, About sixteen
scouts of Troop 26, accompanied by
Scoutmaster L. E. Vanaman, held a
"doggie" roast there Tuesday even
ing.
Scout Collicott, with a few witty
suggestions from other members of
the troop. built a large fire, and the
boys sat around it Indian fashion,
toasting the juicy "doggies" and
having a general good time. to the
accompaniment of Scout Wilder's
"uke."
Just when the fun was at its
height, the rain descended and put
out the fire, but did not succeed in
dampening the boys spirits, and all
the "doggies' and other eats were
consumed in short order.
The boys then beat a hasty retreat
for home. stopping at a store along
the way to refresh themselves with
soda pop" Afer they had bought
out the store. the rain stopped, the
stars came out again and the scouts
came home in true scout fashion,
singing Justify.
Another hike is in store for the
BOYS in the near future-and this is
to be an overnight affair.

Cobra Patrol under advice from their
Patrol Leader have voted that red
is the most beautiful color in the
world in reference to sweaters
(seemS to be n secret joke here. the
Office Scout thinks). The troop OBJ
served the hike that chestnuts would
be plentiful in this district and are
waiting patiently for the first frost
to make them right.
We arrived in Linglestown Just in
time to catch the car, which is more
horseshoe luck. After three-quarters
of an hour the Troop arrived in
Harrisburg stiff but happy, and a
take. hikes which will be further
away; one to Carlisle-and one TO
Gettysburg.
Reorganization of Troop
Troop Thirteen did some reorgan-
izing of their own for the best of
the troop. Over half a dozen Scouts
were suspended but since that time
half OF the number have paid their
fines and have entered their he
spective patrols again.
Since the last month. the Troop
has gotten rid of all dead wood"
and the organization feels strong
because the Troop is hundred per
cent. in Scout activities. We are
trying to reach a goal of $1,000 by
selling bonds to that amount in the
Fourth Liberty Loan Drive.
The Troop has made plans for
hikes and other activities during the
winter: but work comes before pleas
ure and the following Scouts are
ready for any work which can be
done to help lick the Kaiser:

TROOP THIRTEEN
TAKES BIG HIKE
Happy Scouts Take Long En-
durance Walk: Effect Or
ganization of Troop

Starting from Boyd Memorial at
nine o'clock six Scouts with the
scoutmasters started at a lively gait
over the Capitol Hill out State street
until they hit the Jamestown road.
The hiking was fine until we hit
Penbrook and OH! MY! the MUD.
Between juking autos and mud
puddles the Scouts got a bad i'm
preston of that noted borough.
After leaving Progress they again hit
Linglestown. While resting on a
hotel step and removing the stones
from their shoes, they were startled
by hearing hairy-faced gentleman
cry out-"as ist das?" Such a
German expression seemed like trea-
son to our troop and one of us asked
him what he thought of the Kaiser.
Much to our surprise he opened his
coat and showed a Liberty Loan
button and said The dickens (what
he really said was more forceful but
in the same direction) with the Kai-
ser: I'm all for President Wilson.
This inspiring speech and cheers FOR
our country given by the Scouts put
more pep into the mixers and We
started for Manada Gap.
sAfter going two miles an observ-
ing Scout located a horse shoe which
was properly consecrated and which
is now hanging in the Scout room as
trophy of the hike. Now here we
of Troop 3 wish to give a piece of
advice. If you find a horse shoe on
hike, take it along for five min
utes. After we found the shoe a
farmer going our way in a Ford con-
tanning his wife and 400 pounds of
feed, picked the seven of us up on
the running board and carried us
three miles. Say fellows, we never
had luck like this before and if hat
farmer ever needs help, a word to
Thirteen will bring the whole troop
to his assistance. About one-thirty
we reached Manada Gap and after
eating our dinner which was COM
posed of scrambled eggs and fried
spuds we started back by way of
Fishing Creek Valley. After walk
ing three miles, We discovered we
were going along the side of a noun
tain and so We headed back for
Linglestown. AS the road was good.
and the apple trees hung over the
road, and the farmers didn't seem
to want the apples. we decided to
change our plans and end our hike
at Linglestown.

Government Officials Are to
Conduct Probably Largest
Distribution in History

Just before the start of the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. Fed
eral officials all over the country
will conduct an enormous distriou-
ton OF medals to those who won
them in the last campaign.
The medal is the Treasury Depart

Value of Organized Boyhood
This establishes what is believed
TO be a world record of awards OF

inspiring fact and a striking testi-
monial OF the appreciation by the

value of organized boyhood as pro.

GAME FOR SCOUTS

Here is a game used in training
the hearing and sense of direction
of some Of our soldiers abroad. 1t
makes an interesting and lively
game for scouts.
The boys sit down in a large cir
Gle. Two of them, blindfolded, are
placed on opposite sides of the cir
Gle. Put one of the boys on his
knees and give the other one a tin
can and a stick. The latter hits the
tin can with the stick every thirty
seconds and then moves away. The
boy on his knees represents a scout
at night, and tries to catch the boy
with the can, relying on his ears to
tell him where the other fellow is.
This was sent in by a former
scout, now in France, who kuaran-

Be fair, TO yourself, you sufferer
from rheumatism, no matter what

and II you don't think it has given
you quick and sure relief, say SO. and
you can have your money back.
Isn't that fair offer? Can you see
any deceit or red tape about it? What
chance do you take? Absolutely none.
Then get a bottle Of Rheuma to-
day. Its a reputable physicians pre-
scription, altogether different from
remedies usually prescribed, free from
narcotics, and perfectly harmless.
Rheuna acts on the kidneys and helps
to force the uric acid from the swol-
len joints and other lodging places. II
pleases you in a day; il makes you
hopeful and happy in a week. It has
released from bondage rheumatic suf-
ferers who thought nothing would
give relief. 1t should Go as much for
you-it seldom fails.
