BOY SCOUT UNIFORMS SAFE.

Some worriment may have been oc-
casioned by articles recently appear
ing in the papers reporting resolu-
ton adopted by the American AssO-
citation of Woolens and Worsted Manu-
facturers to the effect that future pro-
duction of all khaki cloth should be
restricted to the governments order
and definitely naming the Boy Scouts
of America as among those who would
suffer accordingly.
The alarm was largely groundless,
however, so far as scouts are con-
cerned since the resolution referred
entirely to the wooden olive-drab cloth
used for the winter army uniforms.

WORLD HAS CHANGED SOME
Reasons Why Feats of Phenomenaily
Strong Men Are Not Likely
to Be Duplicated.

George Hackenschmidt was pretty
strong man and many are the tales
told of his wondrous feats of strength
But the Russian lion was weakling
compared to certain man who lived
on the southern coast of Ireland.
1t is said of this particular Irish
man that when he went fishing for
whales he always used three-incf
hawser for line and Compound an
Choir for hook. He'd bait his hook
with n couple of sheep, or maybe a
calf, whirl 1t around his head Two or
three times and send 1t sailing out
into the ocean.
We forgot to mention that he usual
ly used an old cannon or something for
a sinker.
Atlas used to do n pretty neat lit
tie turn in holding the world on his
shoulders. But 1t must he remembered
that in his time the world wasn't ms
heavy as 1t is now. There weren't so
many people and practically no heavy
machinery, and big guns and monu-
ments and bridges and Wilbert Robin

leader of the troop.
Any boy of any class or creed, over
twelve years of age, Is eligible to be-
come Il scout. The initial requirements
are that he take the scout oath and
honor the scout law and know the sig

away with an insane cry Of pain.
Everything developed by seconds.
The blood of the Belgian ran out of
my friends mouth; terrible nausea
and indescribable loathing seized him.
The taste of warm human blood
brought him almost to the verge Of In
sanity. In the course of this night

time with the butt of Belgian gun.
During a hand-to-hand fight with a

The other wounded soldiers and the
ambulance men said the Belgians had
been forced back within the forts and
that hard fighting was still In prog
ress.

Germans had already stormed several

and auxiliary defenses, but could not
hold them because they had not been
sufficiently supported by artillery. The
defenses inside the forts and their gar
risons were still intact. The situation
was not ripe for stormlng attack, sc

by clouds of fire. In the air, exploding
shrapnel which the Belgian artillery
fired at the airships could be observed.
The whirling of the propellers started
up again, directly above our heads. 1t
became quieter and quieter, until the
powerful ships of the air disappeared
from our vicinity.
Thus the forts were leveled. Thou

followed. Liege was in the hands OF

were contradictory. 1t was impossible
to get clear picture. In the mean
time the artillery bombardment had
become so intense that 1t Mortified
even the German soldiers. The heavi-
est artillery was brought into action
against the steel and concrete de-
lenses.
No soldier so far knew anything Of
theJexistence of the 42-centimeter NOR

comrades told me later how the cap

Artillery Of all caliber was trained on
the forts, but II was the 21-centimeter

the real work.
From q defiance the 42-centimeter
projectiles were heard to arrive, to the
accompaniment of a fearful kissing
thai sounded like a long drawn-out
screech which filled the whole at

thing was destroyed within radius
of several hundred meters. The air
pressure which the bursting Of the pro-
jectile produced was so terrible that It
made breathing difficult for those of
us who were holding the advanced po-
sitIons.
To make this witches holiday COM

the night to participate IN the work of

CHAPTER II.

I went to Aix-la-Chappelle to hos

who had fought In Belgium. All were
of the opinion that the Belgian dead
numbered as many civilians as SOL
diers. Even If the German soldiers
who fought In Belgium do not admit
the cruelties committed against the
Belgians, ii cannot be denied that at
least 80 per cent Of the cruelties
known to the world to have been COM
mitted in Belgium were only too true.

made their homes In Luxembourg had
everything taken away from them, e.
pScially the farmers, all food, without
thought of payment. SO that In Luxem-
burg at this time there was shortage
