SANE PATRIOTISM.

A little story comes from Fftohburg, Mass. Of a
who had string of flags futtering above his garden
While the display considered purely ornamental
neighbors admired it. When the man was heard to
remark that the flags scared away the they made
such serious objections that he was obliged take down
the flags and put up regular scarecrow.
All reverence is due the flag But doesn't this kind
OF objection seem rather overdone? The brightly fu
tering flags Just beautiful after they were found
to useful before. It just periodically fit
ting that they fly above the garden which helping
win the And if the flags of our country and OF
our allies were in the task of wardng off enc
mics from our needed crops they not doing fine
and appropriate service?
And Why should it be more patriotic to take down
objects grace and beauty and TO put in their
stead a thing OF uginess?
The flag is an emblem of our ideals Why should
it not be used help attain them?

SHOOTING TRUTH AT GERMANS.

SCOUT! MAN IS DROWNiNGI

The scout game of lifesaver is a frst-aid game and should be played often. Otherwise, when the real thing happens, some day, we shan't be ready. Many a swimmer is drowned every summer trying to rescue a drowning cOmrade from having no mo- tion of how to do it.
 The game is great fun and is played with five teams of two players each. There are two classes of players: the "sayers" and the "drOwners." Five drowners go out from shore a cer- tain distance and pretend they are drowning. Five savers swim out to bring them in.
 It is unfair for a drowner to as- sist himself in any way once a saver gets hold on him. Any hold is per missible, but care must be taken to keep the drowners head above water. The first saver who brings his bur den safely across the line is the win ner. There should be starter, who will also referee the game.
 There are many possible variations to add excitement and try skill, as for instance requiring the savers to skin off their clothes Cor some of them) after the starting signal is given.

SCOUTING KEEPS BOY BUSY.

Conservation of our natural re sources is universally approved, but of what value would material re- sources be unless we conserve the moral, intellectual and physical future of the coming generation?
 Prevention is recognized as better and less expensive than cure. The boy scout movement takes the boy at that time of life when he is beset with the new and bewildering experiences of adolescence and diverts his thoughts therefrom to wholesome and worth while activities. In this manner this misunderstanding movement has done much in numerous cities to diminish the problem of juvenile delinquency.
 We are at war. War brings re- taxation of moral fiber which is dis astrous to our youth unless offset by powerful positive influences. Scout ing is just such powerful, positive counteracting influence. Its program offers the essential antidote for these pOisons of war.

NUNS HURl MASSES
 AGAINST FRENCH
SCENE cF VERY HEAVY FIGHTING.

With the French Army in France The Germans advanced against the French lines again, throwing further masses of troops into the battle. Both Hanks of the battle line were the scene of very heavy fighting by in- ferior numbers against superior, with the result that the allies were again obliged to cede ground at several points.
 Besides Von Boehmn's and Von Be lows armies, many divisions of shock troops were engaged. These special ly trained units had participated in the first rush on March 21 and since then had been reconstructed.
 An enormous number of light ma chine guns were employed by the Ger mans, as well as a large fleet Of tanks and much heavy and light ar tillery, while the German aviators were extremely active.
 From the plain toward Juvincourt Vile Aux -Bois, Pontavert and Berry au-Bac, numerous tanks came into ac- tion. For a considerable time the thin allied line held, but as the enemy debauched wave after wave the French and British, almost submerged, fell back slowly, getting across the river. Several British officers after ward sacrificed their lives in destroy ing bridges.
 Almost simultaneously, overpower- ing enemy forces made their way to the top of the Chemin-des-Dames ridge and also to the western end of this road, in the neighborhood of Chavig- non and Malmaison and the troops holding these points were obliged io recede.
 The allied movement to the rear was executed with the greatest pre- clsion; there was no disorder and all the units kept in constant liaison.
