Scouts of American
SEA SCOUTS TO BE FORMED

The sea scout branch of the Boy
Scouts Of America has been placed I'M
der the direction of James A. Wilder.
The lure of the sea Is as strong to
the boy as the lure of the wilds. For
the first time he is to have a chance
to smell the tar and oakum and feel
the swaying deck beneath his feet,
even though he may live in a sandy
desert.
The chief sea scout has introduced
q new note into scouting-the idea sOf
giving every scout definite Job with
definite duties. Under his system there
Is no general rush for the axe and neg
his part Of the work and together they
do 1t alHwhether 1t is launching
boat or cooking a meal.
AS In the navy, every scout in the
boat win have speciality and a rating
based on that specially. He will have
certain gear In his charge and will re-
ceive special instruction in the ham
ding and the care of the same.
1t Is not absolutely necessary that
there shall be water In or near town
where the sea scouts are to be organ
lied, though not to have at least
horse-pOnd will be handicap. Jour-
neys to navigable water must then be
undertaken or crew and skipper will
stick at the boat grade, and interesting
but dry-land class Of work and games.
1t will be permissible to change
room into a ship" In this case the
stairways will become "gangways," the
windows ports" and "skylights," and
everything will be kept shipshape.
The United States navy department
has been interested in sea scouting for
number Of years, and some troops Of
sea scouts have had the use Of navy
equipment, including boats. Instruc
tiOn has been given in some cases by
instructors from navy yards and navy
vessels. n

GERMANIA'S ATTITUDE.

The Milwaukee Germania prints an
article in its recent issue which we
reproduce of great concern to many
citizens of German origin in this sec
ton. The paper is one of the most
widely circulated German language
newspapers in America 1t has ranked
for many years as one Of the chief
organs of the German Lutheran church
and it has had the support and in
dorsement of German Lutheran pas.
tors all over the country. It provided
the foundation for the fortune now
enjoyed by the chief stockholders of
the Germania Publishing Co., which
publishes The Herold, formerly The
Germania-HerOld.
Germania's article is certain to at
tract wide attention. In part it reads
as follows:
1--WE have changed our views since
1914 and we have shown why. We
have already said that we once Gn'
1910, together with the majority of
German people and great part of all
the peoples Of neutral countries, were
of the firm conviction that the chief
blame for the world war rested with
English statesmen who were jealous of
Germany's commercial and colonial
development and wished to deprive
her of her place in the sun We were
merely echoing what German govern
ment organs said. For, even though
our sympathies were not on the side
of the German government and the
German military caste, they were
quite naturally on the side of the Ger
man people.
when the German note of Jan. 81,
1917, came to America, we were pre-
pared for the inevitability of break
between the United States and the
German empire. At the same time,
however, we were fully conscious of
our duty as American citizens That
note, as you know, gave the decision
of the German government, contrary
to previous assurances, to renew ruth
less submarine warfare and allow only
one American ship per week to sail
from America to England At the
same time the German government
gave orders to our government that
this ship must hold to a course pre-
scribed by it (the German govern
menD and be painted from top to bot
tom in red and white stripes like an
American barber post, ETC. That this
comprised an insult to the Anne -ican
nation was clear. The president saw
himself forced to break in diploma
tic relations and the American people
insisted on war. We continued to hope
that war might be avoided by change
OF attitude on the part of the German
government. There was no change.
Our declaration of war was the con-
sequence. Then the duty of every Am
erican citizen was clear.
And, after war was declared, reve-
lation followed revelation, of which
the criminal activity of agents of the
German government in America even
before our entrance into the war and
Zimmermann's attempt to incite Mex
leo and Japan against America were
the most striking. Clear proofs Uich-
nOwsky, Muehlon, Thiesen) that the
German government not only might
easily have avoided war in July, 1914
but that it even prepared the war in
order to let loose at the right moment
formed the grand finale at all the re-
Violations.

In an article about tired business
men in American Magazine, q writer
says:
when a man says he is tired he
means that he is the victim Of fatigue
and that the requirements Of the days
work have exhausted his mental and
physical resources. Is this true? If it
were, the victim of this terrific day
would 60 home and fall into bed to re-
cuperate from what he has suffered.
But he does not. He does one of two
things: Either he spends the evening
at home romping with the kids or
reading or amusing himself with some
fad or game; or he goes out and puts
In anywhere from four to eight hours
seeing show, going to roof garden.
taking an automobile ride, dancing
good many miles or playing cards.
1T turns out that he Is not as tired
as he thought he was In fact, to all
intents and purposes he is not tired
at all. If he were he could not show
up laughing and with the CLEAN of
hearty enjoyment in his eye at the end
of a dance or an automobile ride. or
whatever 1t Is that he has selected as
a means of killing time before he
chooses to 60 to bed. The man who
is really fatigued has no desire to
dance, does not want to be bounced
around in an automobile, does not care
to sit through play, feels an aver
sion to a game of cards. If he is really
fatigued there is only one thing he
does want, and that is rest-rest and
sleep"
