find FOE Mines OFF CAPE
Sweepers Destroy Dozens. but
Some Still Menace Ships

Mine sweepers working off the D,ia-
ware Capes have removed or destroyed
dozens of German laid mines that have
been a menace to navigation to and
from this port
Naval authorities here assert, how
ever, that all mines placed by the enemy
have not yet been swept out Of this area
1t was learned at the Fourth Naval pis-
trlct headquarters here that submarin,
nets stretched across the Delaware River
during the war had been removed.
The nets We're removed because Of the
difficulty experienced in keeping them
in order. 1t was said. The nets had
been broken many times.
Sweepers and patrol boats from Cape
May have for weeks been scanning the
sea for mines. A half dozen or more
sighted atioat were exploded by rife
and light gunfire. Others were caught
in the sweeping devices and brought to
the naval base at Cape May.

ASSOCIATION
FRIENDS OF LABOR

The Leader is absolutely neutral on
the political isseus to be decided next
Tuesday, but we believe it eminently
proper to call the attention of our
subscribers and all friends of organ
lied labor to those candidates who
have given evidences of their friend
ship to the cause and who deem the
support of the working man Of suf-
fcient Importance to present their
claims for public favor through the
medium of the labor press.
We do not champion the cause Of
any particular man or political be-
lief. Both parties have their good
qualities, and are represented in the
coming race by men Of sterling char
acter, but we do ask the working men
of Newark to give those men who
have recognized the merits of their
own paper the preference, and to
make their choice from among the
many friends who have individually
used the columns Of the Leader dur
ing the campaign.

IS SCOUTING MILITARY?

Owing to the fact that the members
of the Boy Scouts Of America wear a
uniform somewhat resembling the
military, the question at times arises
is this military organization? If by
military is meant training to care for
oneself, to look out for the welfare
of those about him, to learn to do
things in the right way, at the right
time, and to realize the responsibility
that every person holds toward the
community in which he lives, then
assuredly Scouting is military. How
ever if by military is meant drilling
until each person becomes a cog, in
a machine, the science of killing or
injuring felIowmen or that inclina-
tion to hate, then Scouting is positive
ly not military.
When a boys becomes a member of
the Boy Scouts of America, he enters
an organization the real object of
which is character development, and
the building of good citizenship. Good
citizenship means to the Boy NScouts
not merely the doing of things which
he ought to do when he becomes a
man, such as voting, keeping the law,
and paying taxes, but the looking for
opportunities to do good turns by
safeguarding the interests Of the COM
munity and the giving of himself in
unselfsh service to the community of
which he is a part.
The uniform, the patrol, the troop,
the special scout drills, and activities
are not for military tactics, nor can
they be fairly considered as military
training. They are for the uniormity
the harmony and rhythm of spirit
which boys learn in Scouting.
1t is in the wearing Of the uniform
and the doing of things, together as
Scouts that they absorb the force anC
truth of the Scout Law that states
that "A Scout is friend to all anc
a brother to every other Scout"
