SHOWED HUNTER NEW TRICK
Willy Fox Climbed Tree to EIudo
Enemies, and Finally Made His
Escape UninJured.

One of the slyest foxes that has
been liberated by the Speakman hunt
in many years led Pennsylvanians a
chase recently. The fox kept the
huntsmen going for half an hour,
when they suddenly lost him. They
found tree under which the hounds
were baying and cavorting, but de-
spite dillgent search being made,
no trace could be found Of the fox.
The huntsmen were about to- turn
back when one Of their number hap
Dened to cast his eyes up In the
tree, and there on one Of the limbs
sat the willy fox. Recovering from
their amazement, straws were drawn
to determine who should climb the
tree. 1t fell to the lot Of William
Speakman. Being an expert climb
er Speakman was soon out on the
branches, and giving the limb a Wig
orous shake. Reynard tumbled on.
Although he fell distance of 30
feet he was not injured In the least.
He gave the dogs another lively chase
as far as Thomas farm, where he
saved his brush by holing.-Phlla-

Conducted by National Council OF the
Boy Scouts OF America-l
SCOUTS MAKE MOTOR RECORD

Fifty of the Boy Scouts of America
from Akron, o.. are completing a rec
ord transportation stunt touring the
country. One Of the objects of this
trip Is to demonstrate how quietly
troops may be carried with full equip
ment in motortrucks from the interior
to the coast.
Starting from Akron. o., the run to
New York was made In exactly Al
hours elapsed time. and Boston Com
mon was reached in 81 hours. A fast
commissary truck speeds ahead and
prepares the meals, tagging the motor
truck train as 1t comes up the road.
The four large trucks are provided
with sleeping accommodations for the
80 scouts and the q others In the
party, and no stops are made, the
hunks being made up at nightfall and
the scouts getting all their sleep on
the road.
The return trip from Boston was
made more slowly, the scouts being
given q chance to see all the objects
Of interest and to give the public a
demonstration In scouting. At Wash
ington they had an appointment at the
White House, when President Wilson,
who is the honorary president Of the
organization, talked to them.
There are 1900 Boy Scouts of Amer
lea in Akron, in 65 troops, and each
year the so leading scouts are given
an outing by p. w. Litchfield, presi-
dent Of the Akron scout council. Last
year the boys were taken to Michigan,
and this year the objective of the trip
was Mr.. Litchfield's summer home at
Green Harbor near Boston.

which had actually suffered hunger.
The lieutenant at once ordered him to
return the bread to his company. Then
he ragged and ragged at the soldier. call
ing him fool, idiot, Hottentot, etc. But
the soldier nevertheless did not obey
and when the lieutenant Numbered
second command to halt, the soldier
turned around and threw the bread
before the lieutenant's feet Then he
said quietly. II do not wish anybody
any harm. but II you and your auto
cratic family, and the whole German
nation had to endure what the poor
Belgians are obliged to suffer, 1t would
be bitter but Just lesson"
This man was sentenced to serve IA
days for talking back to his superior
officer. 1t surprised US all that he was
let of 80 easily.
But bitterness in the ranks grew,
and at last the many hard punishments
that were pronounced created 80 much
feeling that the soldiers refused to tie
any of their comrades. -
We left Sugny the next morning and
one hour later crossed the Franco-Bel-
gian border. Here again we were or
dered to give three cheers az we did
when our troops first crossed Germany
into Belgium. At noon we arrived at
vivier-Au-Court. We remained In the

SCOUTS AID AIRPLANE MAIL.

When the airplane mail service start
ed, the Washington post Office needed
large number Of additional messen-
gers to deliver the mail brought by the
6rst aero mail carrier.
Finding that nowhere near the re-
CURED number could be employed on
short notice, the officials asked the
Washington scout headquarters for as
tistance.
In an Incredibly short time 200
couts on bicycles were modified, and
IN 35 minutes every piece of mail was
delivered. They took the messages for
the president, members of his cabinet
and other government officials.
The fee, eight cents per delivery,
was refused In every case. ~
