ARMY OFFICERS
AS SCOUTMASTERS
Great Opportunity For Re-
turning Soldiers to Act
as Leaders

Don't take off the khaki, Just
change the buttons" is slogan that
Will appeal to returned and retired
officers Of the United States Army.
Major General c. NJ. Clement. of
Sunbury. is. at the present time the
nrst army officer to accent this new
scout slogan for himself
General Clement has racert1,, ra-
turned from active service ON the
western battle front, where he was
sent to study conditions of trench
warfare. When he had submitted a
report TO the War Department, which
was sent to General Pershing, Major
General Clement received a personal
letter from Pershing congratulatinr
MIN on his splendid review of condi-
tlons at the front.
During the trouble on the southern
oorder two years ago, General Glenn
eht' as Major General, was in COM
nahd or the Pennsylvania Division.
known as the Seventh Division, while
In service at the border. He was in
command of the Twenty-eighth Dt-
VISION at camp Hancock last year.
General Clement is Grand Com
mander OF the Knights Templar, a
member OF the Rotary Club of sun
Dury, and a prominent attorney at
the bar in Pennsylvania. He will
become Scoutmaster of a troop of
Scouts at St Matthew'S Episcopal
Church of Sunbury, where for thirty
one years he has been superintendent
OF the Sunday school.
The acceptance of a position as
Scoutmaster by General Clement has
made 1t difficult for other men to
refuse like call on the ground of
multiplicity of duties, as General
Clement in addition to an extensive
law practice has been chairman of
the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign
for his district and has been identi-
fled with every war-work activity
since his return from the front.
There are at present over $4,000
Boy Scouts with their leaders. APP
plications are coming in to National
Headquarters at the rate of about
one thousand day. The govern
ment wants the Scouts to grow, and
there would be several million of
these organized boys in khaki If there
were the men to head the troops. Re-
turning army men can find in this a
great opportunity. The Scout uni
form. in fact, is much like the army
uniform and is authorized under Sec
tion l25 of the Army Reorganization
Law.
