SIR A
Sidelights on the War
by
OLIVER OWEN KUHN,

There has been strong agitation
throughout England in favor of fore
ing German prisoners of war to work
on the farms. But the farmers them
selves are opposed to this. One of
them said:
Il hope you are not going to send
me any of them Germans. I will give
up my farm for I would rather go
and fight EN-"
When Hindenburg shaves, while on
active duty. he squares himself be-
fore a wall, chalks of a place about
the size of mirror and proceeds
with the task. He says a mirror is
not necessary. but one needs some
thing to look at.
The average Army surgeon must be
versatile. Those in first dressing
stations must be ready to treat the
slightest wound or in an instant
plunge into an operation that may
last for hours. During offensive or
defensive actions these doctors work
with lightning-like rapidity, but un-
erringly.
The longest canal in tho world Is
in Russia. The waterway stretches
from Petrograd to China, distance
of nearly $500 miles.
Chlorine gas. which Is used SO
largely by the Germans, is made of
salt. black oxide of manganese and
deadly sulphuric acid.
Describing his work as a member
of q tank crew and his experience In
these cumbersome but highly ef-
fective implements of war, a British
soldier said:
"As the engine warns up the
atmosphere becomes hot; through the
ports in front a steady stream of
thick dust pours in. together with
blue obnoxious fumes of carbon
monoxide.

gines. Everything movable, oil cans.

fnent Fifteen Months Ago.

The report that an American In
ventor laid before an agent Of the bu-
reau uf mines hfteen months ago a
formui4 for mustard gas which the
Germans are now supposed to be U.s.
Ing, Is to be taken up By the Amer
lean Inventors Association.
Tho allegation brought to the at
tention Of the association at it's meet
Ing In the rooms Of the Beard of
Trade last night was TO the effect that
Benjainin P. Brooks, chief chemist of

Flushing L, l.. gave the formula to

nothing more from II, A few months
ago Il was found Germany had hit
upon the gas. according to F. J. He
men. president of the association,
At the meeting last night the asso-
citation directed that Secretary of the
Interior Lane be communicated with
to ascertain II the man who is sup
posed to have taken the formula from
Brooks Is still in the service.
Borglum Charges Read.
Mr.. Hemen had read to the associa-
tion copy of letter which Gutson
Borglum sent to New York news-
paper. ridiculing the report that Maj.
John Purroy Mitchell. former mayor of
New York. plunged to death at q
Louisiana camp a few days ago be-
cause he was not strapped in his
plane.
Mr.. Borglum stated in the letter that
1t Is fact too well known in aviation
to be discussed that few aviators strap
themselves in, and that It would have
been almost impossible for MAI. Mitchell
to fall out Of his plane In Q nose dive
unless he was unconscious. Borglum
asserted that the list of aviators who
have been killed on training fields in this
country Is already longer than any
single casualty list Gen. Pershing has
yet sent from France.
Need Of Closer Inspection Urged.
The letter dwelt in detail with tho
need for a closer inspection of tho types
Of planes which American factories are
now turning out. A few months ago
Borglum made serious charges against
the aircraft program after having made
an investigation with the approval Of
President Wilson.
Several inventors at the meeting told
OF difficulty which they have had in
getting government officials in Wash
ington to consider new war devices.

Senator Christie Benet of South
! Carolina, who succeeded the late Sen
ator Tillman through appointment by
: the governor of the state. is the

SCOUTS
81
Conducted by National Council OF the
Boy Scouts OF America.)
SCOUTS HELP POLICE CITY

When the patrolmen Of Cincinnati
went on strike, the city was left In q
very serious situation.
The city officials called upon num-
Der Of civic organizations for assist
ance, including the Boy Scouts Of
America. The following editorial from
local paper indicates how well they
did their work and how much 1t was
appreciated:
Saturday morning boy scouts were
On duty as traffic officers at street In
tersections In downtown Cincinnati.
''The boys went ut the work with the
energy and enthusiasm which were to
be expected Of them. AS these lines
are written, one of the youngsters is
bossing the traffic at the corner Of
Sixth and Walnut in way that brings
smiles Of approval and encouragement
from passers-by.
Regulation Of traffic is a necessity
In Cincinnati. Law-abiding people will
obey the orders of the boy scouts on
traffic duty and try to help them In
their work. II there are any small
enough In mind to impose upon the
boys, 1t is more than probable that
they will find the undertaking both I'M
successful and costly"

SCOUTS GROWING RAPIDLY.

In spite of the fact that Of the
scoutmasters and other scout officials
a large percentage volunteered for &C
tive service Immediately following the
declaration Of the war, and another
large percentage was called to the
colors by the first draft law, the rec
ords show that today the Boy Scouts
Of America has 43 per cent more scout
officials than 1t had on the day war
was declared and GO per cent more
scouts than 1t had on the day war was
declared.
For every man who will go, each
community will have ut least five or
more men who have the same quail
ties Of leadership for carrying on the
work. 1t Is not necessary for them
to know scouting from the technical
point Of view in order to efficiently
serve as scoutmasters. They can Sc
cure experience by following the same
course as their predecessors. The war
has proven not only in England, but
here In America, that between 80 and
GU there are scoutmasters even bet
ter than younger men.
Today there are 440,S90 men and
boys as compared with 272,031 on
April 6, 1917. What will the records
be in one year? There will be at
least 714,O0O men and boys n this
percentage Of increase is maintained.
