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 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
a new note into scouting-the idea Of
giving every scout definite job with
definite duties. Under his system there
is no general rush for the axe and neg
lect of the shovel. Every scout does
his part Of the work and together they
do it all-whether it is launching a
boat or cooking a meal.
AS in the navy, every scout in the
boat will have speciality and 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.

horse-pOnd will be a 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 a
room into 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
a number Of years, and some troops Of
sea scouts have had the use OF navy
equipment, including boats. Instruc-
ton has been given In some cases by
instructors from navy yards and navy
vessels.

that they We're capSiZed and could not

came up with IL similar invitation;
three times the commander received
the same reply. Then the U-boat
came alongside one of the upturned
boats. took the name Of the ship and
the master and all the details. The
crew of the enemy craft was asked by
these Shipwrecked men to help right
their boat for them. but no answer
was given, though the Germans must
have heard the frantic knockings Of
one poor chap imprisoned under the
capSized boat and who was trying to
attract attention to his pitiful plight.
The submarine steamed ahead and
put the helm hard over, with the re-

Doubtless the anticipation Of camps

O|F PASSING SIX
 BILLION b|LL
Before Adjournment of Short Session. Republi- cans Lined Against It.
REDUCED POSTAGE IS PROVIDED
Matters Will he In Chaotic Condition Relation to Collecting Revenues Next Year.

Washington, Nov 29-The senate the revision of war revenue bill, de- signed to raise six billions Of dollars n taxes 1919 and about four billions in 1920 The measure is virtually is rewritten to meet changed conditions attending the end of the war; and now goes to the printer and will be report ed to the senate next week, probably on Thursday.
 Senate debate, Senator Simmons said tonight, may begin the following Saturday or Monday.
 With Republicans lined up solidly in opposition to inclusion of 1920 tax rates in the bill. it was conceded in all quarters that discussion in the sen ate will delay passage of the measure and many senators expressed doubt that 1t can be enacted before March 3rd, the date of the ending of this, the final session of the sixty-fifth congress.
 In view of the expected delay sen- ate leaders and treasury department officials alike are concerned over the question of collecting taxes next year and it is now admitted that unless the : new law is enacted before January ! list, collections must be made under the present revenue bill, the yield 1 from which is only about four billions of dollars. Several expedients in' cltding adoption of emergency legis-
 lation, incorporating some of the fea- lures of the pending bill, are under 1 consideration.
 Senator Simmons said tonight he
 doubted whether the Republicans
 would file a minority report attacking i the 1920 tax program and added that
 they might content themselves with
 making vigorous opposition to thai
 proposal on the, floor of the senate. l In completing the bill today, the fin
 ance committee adopted an amend ment establishing new second class 1 postage rates, efectivs when the rev. !, enue bill becomes law. It provides for repeal of the present graduated zone rates on newspapers, magazines I and other periodicals and substitutes 6
 rate of one cent per pound within al
 area of 200 miles from mailing points
 and 1-2 cents pound outside tha'
 area,
 The committee also adopted another amendment for restoration on July
 lst, 1919, of the two cents an ounce rate on letters and one cent on post s| cards.

 class postal rate amendment will b' \ lS V /.
