For the moment, the eyes Of the
allied world are turned away from
the battle front in France, where the
Germans are believed to be prepar-
ing for a resumption of their often
sive against the positions held by the
soldiers of the entente nations. The
most active area in the various thea
ters of the war is in Albania, where
the French and Italians are contin-
uing their success against the Aus
trians.
While it is not expected that far
reaching results will be brought
about by the offensive in this section
Of the world, the movement has in it
possibilities which seem interesting.
The rapid progress made by the
French and Italians, the pobability
that the Austro-Bulgar line to the
east past Lake Ochrida may be out
flanked and the possibility that an
offensive may be launched along the
Saloniki front tend to give the events
IN Albania some Importance at a
time when the main battle area is
quiet.
There have been :. indications re-
Gently that an offensive might be be-
gun in Macedonia, If for no other
reason than to withdraw Austrian
and possibly German troops from
Italy and France. 1t is reported that
the Bulgarians are war weary and
that a powerful blow along the front
north of Saloniki might bring about
notable military and political results.
The Teutonic allies in Macedonia
have been savagely attacking the en-
tente lines, but have been driven
back.

not hesitate to say that these are
people who are not familiar with

every paren- who has a boy twelve
years old to permit his boy or
otherwise to encourage him to join
the Boy Scouts. Its purpose is to
train the coy and make him possess
a greater self will and to become
useful man. The Scout oath will
explain its parpose and before a
boy can bec0n.e a scout he must
pledge himself to ohev the follow
ing; Cn my honor l will DO my

my Country, and 20 OBEY the scout
law;
(2) To help c her people at all
times;
(3) To keep myself physically
strong. mentally, ava e, and moral
ly straight;
The Scout Low is that a scout
must so live that he can be trusted.
He must be loyal to whom all 10y
atty is due: be cheerful to all people
and do at least one good turn every
day; be friendly; courteous; be kind
Ito animals as we'll as people,; to be
