$NENz and NOTES OF. THE Boy z10uTz$
Troop Twelve Takes
Part IN War Pageant

Troop IL took an important part
in a war pageant held by society
of the Memorial Lutheran Church
The scouts demonstrated their abil-
ity in first-aid, signaling and other
branches OF scoutcraft. Beans
rolls and coffee were served to the
participants in the pageant and the
guests.
1t has been necessary, owing to
new members to start a new patrol
of whihc Scout Meadath has been
electe. patrol leader
We are planning a hike to Hum
melstown Cave with Scoutmaster
Orr on the evening of September 81.
When the troop was first organized
the Eagle Patrol took the first troop
hike to this cave. They enjoyed
themselves immensely. But two
members remain from this Eagle
Patrol. and the others are very anx-
ious to see the cave, too.
Troop 12 is well on its feet and
ready for any work set before them
in the future. All are anxiously
waiting for their chance at the Lib
erty Loan so they can be of more
service to Uncle Sam.

Need ScoutmaSterS

Men who are disqualified for serv,
ice in the Army or Navy should re-
spond right now to the call of the
Bov Scouts of America for scout
masters.
What sort of men are wanted?
Well. men who have been regular
bows and who haven't forgotten how.
Scoutmasters that can be chums with
boys-big brothers without overdo-
ing 1t, real pals-they want such
men.
The boy isn't a problem-he just
wants someone he can understand
and who understands him. Boys by
the hundreds are applying every day
and being refused because practi-
cally every troop has its maximum
strength and there are not enough
scoutmasters to take care of new
ones.
No other organization is so well
fitted to take up this training of
boys as the scout organization,
which is so well established that it
needs no defense or explanation. The
training It gives to boys has been
commended by the greatest public
men of America, and there is no
question but that it is competent
to solve the problem.
The requirements for scoutmas-
ter are very simple: Interest in
boys, remembering your own boy
hood; desire to serve, doing your bit
in training some soldiers younger
brother; a clean, manly character,
to influence the boys by example; a
little time, one meeting a week at
might. No previous scout expert
ence is necessary.
There are more than five men
available for every scoutmaster who
will be called. AS has proved to be
the case heretofore and in England.
men oeyond the draft age as well
as men within the draft age who
are prevented from taking an active
part n the war, will welcome the
opportunity of giving definite serv-
ice in order that the scouting pro-
gram will not suffer because of the
requirements of the wartime con-
ditions.
The scouts wear their uniforms by
authority Of Section 125 of the Army
REORGANIZATION Law OF June 9. 1915,
and are chartered by Congress.
Khaki means service!

Boy Scouts Are Utility
Men in Loan Drive

Every successful team must have
utility man.
He does not acquire fame like the
winning pitcher.
He is not in the public eye as
consistently as the captain of a
Harvard football team.
He sacrifices his opportunity for
becoming an outstanding specialist
by his willingness to serve whenever,
wherever and however he is needed.
The Boy Scouts of America are
untilty men in to-day's great game
of Beat the Beast. Always answering
the call of their captain, President
Wilson, they do not attempt to die
tate what they shall do nor when or
where they shall do 1t.
They do report to the President
from time to time that they have a
hunch that such and such thing
is the best piece of work for them
to tackle. He agrees, or suggests
something else, according to the cir
cumstances at the time.
They have so reported to him,
through their National Council, con-
cerning the Fourth Liberty Loan.
I'VE did our best as cleaners after
the reapers in the Third Liberty
Loan campaign-we are ready to do
the same in the fourth" is the sub
stance of their report to President
Wilson.
You did we'll in the Third-our
Government will welcome your as
sistance in the Fourth. Report to
YOUR local Liberty Loan Commit
tees" That is the substance of the
reply from President Wilson. and
from Secretary McAdoo of the
Treasury Department.
The local Liberty Loan Commit
tees have accepted the services OF
the scouts in most places. In few
places they have declined. In gen.
eral they have followed the sugges-
ton of President Wilson and Secre-
tary McAdoo.
The duty of the Boy Scouts of
America is obvious.
T rery troop and every local coun-
ell should have a plan.
That plan should be submitted
to the local Liberty Loan Commit
tee Immediately If 1t has not been
submitted already.

" WdSted!'
By Katherine Lee Bates in Life.

London, May e.-Lieutenant-Ge
eral Sir Robert Baden-Powell, ad-
dressing a central meeting of the
Boy Scouts at Guildhall, told of the
heroic death Of q French Boy Scout
described in a letter found on the
body of q dead German. General
Baden-Powell read the letter. which
follows:
"A traitor has been shot-a little
French lad belonging to one of those
gymnastic societies which wear the
trf-color button. The poor little fell
low in his infatuation wanted to be
z hero. A German column was
passing along a wooded defile, and
the boy was caught and asked
whether the French were about. He
refused to give information. Fifty
yards further on fire was opened
from the cover of the wood. The
boy was asked in French II he ha6
known that the enemy was in the
forest, and he did not deny 1t. He
went with firm step to a telegraph
post and stood up against it, with 6
green vineyard behind him, and re-
csived the volley of the firing partS
with a proud smile on his face. In.
fatuated boy! 1t was a pity to see
such wasted courage."J
Wasted? o blind OF heart, yor
wrote 1t wasted,
The loyalty, the courage and the
pride;
Nay, you, who could but pity ant
deride
That pearl of boyhood, smiling a.
he tasted
The sacrament of death; you. whC
had hasted
By steep descent from where th'
stars abide
To heavy darkness; you, who haC
denied
The gleam of God in your own clay
are wasted.
Will not all lovers of the fair ant
true
Forever see that little figure stant
Erect against the post, to die fol
France?
Her leafng April vineyard better
knew
The beauty of that deed than youl
dull hand,
Wondering at honor, counting faitf
mischance.

A hail to the lad who always does
his bit!
When there is work. he hustles
into IL
With the zest of batter who is
swinging for a hit
The ready and the steady and the
heady Boy Scout.
He's often small, and he's never
very big;
He's always square, and he cannon

And when there is digging you ought
to see him dig
The ready and the steady and the
heady Boy Scout.
The woodland lore is a bit of what

He loves the flag and follows where

He's a man in the making, the very

Hark! Here's the Tale
of Marsh Run Battle

Did the rest of you scouts ever
hear of the battle of Marsh Run?
Well, there was one, and 1t wasn't
in the Civil War, either. 1t took
place last Saturday and this is how
it all happened. Some Of the scouts
of Troop "a took a hike last Satur-
day, accompanied by Scoutmasuer
Chalmer Groff-but let somebody
who was along tell the story.
There were seven of us and the
scoutmaster. We hiked over the
bridge into Cumberland county and
on to Marsh Run, where the Gov
ernment is constructing a plant
and hundreds of Mexicans, ne
groes and soldiers are at work
When We got there they all stopped
their work to look us over, because,
l guess, they thought we were part
of new company of men coming
We had a great time looking around
and seeing everything. but finally the
lunch We were carrying got toe
heavy and we just had to eat it.
So we all started down towards the
river and this is why the battle was:
Scout Deibler somehow got his pick
and-span uniform splashed with
mud-he must have tripped and fell
and. by the time lunch was over
he had half the men on his side,
so we had to fight it out. Our weap-
ons didn't make much noise nor
smoke. but. gee! how they did sting!
They were, guess what-horse chest
nuts! For about fifteen minutes
horse chestnuts went flying back and
forth like heavy artillery fire. When
it was over We couldn't decide who
won, but maybe you can when I tell
you that when we started Scout
SPOTS side had seventy-five chest
nuts and when it was over they had
four, and Scout Dode's side had
theirs and some of Scout Spottsi
That was some bloody battle"
