Troop No. s4, Theodore Gebhardt, SIM

Regular meeting held with every scout present but one. Deputy Com missioner Maitland gave us talk which was very instructive and help full. Our program was somewhat dis arranged by the absence of lights un- til about 500 but when we finally got some lights we went ahead with as much of our program as we wanted to use time for. Nearly all .. of the scouts present had something to do on the program, on which was signalling, receiving, fireman's lift, chair carry and several other things. After 8 few games the jolly time was finally bro- ken up at about 10, but this Iateness of the adjournment was excusable for this one night we think.

Headauarters Notec.


 -s Scouts are requested to keep in touch with local headquarters as of ten as they can in order that the Lib erty Loan posters may be put up in the remotest corners of the city.
 Scouts will be allowed to commence to sell bonds the day of the rally, Oc-' tober 12th. No sales made through corporations or factories will receive credit toward the medal and every scout who sells to ten individual pur- chasers will receive an award.
 Aim to have your troop re-register immediately if it's registration has ex- pired; because National headquarters will not send medals to boys who were not registered at the time they earn ed the medal.
 Scout xecutive, MT. George M. But Ter, will be in the office regularly be- inning with Monday and we suggest that the lea6efs get in as opportunity offers and<get acquainted with MT, Butler.
 The council is working in the prep aration for their annual meeting to be held on Tuesday evening, October 8.
 Scouts began today to place Liberty Bond posters and we are sure that they will do it with the same thor oughness and efficiency as heretofore. Scout executive, MT. Argetsinger, closes his work of the local head quarters today and will move on Mon- day to Bethlehem, Pa., where his fu- ture activities will be centered. He would like to hear from the scouts occasionally and will notify the local headquarters of his office address ir few days.

Can Germany Pay
Demands Forty Billion
Dollars Idemnity.

London, Dec 7.-Great Britain will
demand of Germany 100000, ,OO0
pounds sterling for Great Britain and
her dominions in reparation for the
war, according to The Daily Mail. The
newspaper says it understands that
David Lloyd George, the premier,
will make this announcement in a
speech at Leeds today.
This, The Daily Mail adds, is what
the war cost Great Britain and her
dominions and British tax payers will
be relieved Of 4OO.000,O00 pounds per
annum by the German payment.
The British claim, says The Daily
Mail. has been prepared by a COM
mittee under Mr.. Hughes, the Austral-
ian premier. and Baron Cunliffe, for
mer governor of the Bank of Eng
land, who is one of the principal
members of the committee. It adds
that it is expected the report will be
published Saturday.
The Daily Mail says the French,
claim for reparation will be infinitely
larger than that of Great Britain.

McAdoo Holds On
Suitable Man for Director Of
Railroads Not Yet Found.

Washington, Dec. 5.-A new direc-
tor general Of railroads to succeed
W. G. McAdoo may not be named for
two weeks or more, it was said to-
day. The resignation of Robert S.
Lovett, as director Of the administra-'
ton division of capital expenditures
announced today, and his insistence
on going back to his old duties az
chairman of the executive committee
Of the Union Pacific was considered
as having left Mr.. McAdoo without a.
candidate Immediately at hand 70;
recommend to President Wilson. It
was stated authoritatively that the d1-
rector general is now looking about
for men whom he may propose.
Mr.. McAdoo today conferred with
his advisory staff Of the railroad ad-
ministration concerning proposed
plans for supervising railroads When
they are turned back to private man
agement. Two different plans are
understood to have developed among
his advisers. One proposal is to have
the railroads merge into regional
groups, with common. operating man
agement to start and eventually 10
develop into common ownership
with the roads themselves selecting
CnelF TeS1OIlIl HidNdSeiIleilo Ill "AAANAA
the government would be represent
ed.
The other plan is for the roads to
operate individually and privately;
competing for service. but under the
Of a government agency
headed by a cabinet member To this
agency would be left largely the
question of making proper rates, OF
administering the common use OF
terminals and pooling of cars and TO-
a certain extent the routing Of freight
traffic. Both plans would propose
government supervision of railroad
security issues and consequently OF,
Director General McAdoo is repre-
sented as not having made up his
mind to the best course to recommend
in the present situation. The rail-
road administration is proceeding,
however, with plans of turning the
roads back to private management
within a few months regardless OF
whether congress meanwhile authorl-
,es new measures for continued gov
arnment supervision Of some sort
