Troop 13

Our inspection last week was a
success with the exception OF uni
forms. The majority of the fellows
were not in uniform, and of course
we IN on that point. Troop
IS had some good games this week.
on Wednesday they played Troop T.
and on Thursday evening they play
ed Troop Is and the Middletown
Triangle Club. If it rains the over
night hike to Lambs Gap will not
be taken, and a meeting will he held
in Boyd Memorial instead.
Scoutmaster John German Ben
Wilmer, an honorary member OF the
troop and several officers of the pa
trolls took an overnight hike to the
Mccormick Lodge at Lambs Gap
last Friday. returning home Satur-
day. On account of this hike no
scout meeting was held on Friday
night. The boys who took the trip
were Patrol Leader Charles AleXan-
der, Assistant Patrol Leader Bill
German, Assistant Patrol Leader
John Thompson Color Bearer
Thomas Webster.
We left town at 1 o'clock and
took the Enola car, getting off at
Enola where the road leads out to
Lambs Gap. The crowd was well
equipped with blankets and provi-
sions for two meals. Bill German
was the only one who did not have
eats for two meals, but he had eats
for five meals and he ate all he had
and then some. We walked along
the road and some to a place where
some people were butchering. They
must have imagined we were the
first division marching by, for they
surely did look us over. After 60
ing about three miles we came TO a
little country store, where we stop
ped to get a rest and something to
eat. We then continued and in
short time came to Mr.. Miller's
place. Mr.. Miller is the caretaker of
the lodge. We then took UP the
hardest part of our trip which was
the hike up the mountain. After
arriving at the lodge we unloaded
our packs and searched around for
wood with which to make fire.
Then we went down to the other
house to bring up our cots and some
extra blankets which we found. In
a short time supper was prepared
and we were all very hungry. Alex
ander volunteered to stay up and
watch the fire. but about the mid
die of the night he crawled into bed
with Webster and the fire died down.
However. Charles got up bright and
early next morning and started to
chop wood for the fire. 1t was
mighty cold and he shivered and
shook, much to our delight. He said
he was doing the chimney dance"
About o'clock we all crawled out
and had breakfast after which we
cleaned up the place and were soon
ready to leave.
We will soon have another of
these overnight hikes, so be pre-
pared for a good time. They are the
real thing.

Once more Troop % at Shiloh Lu-
theran Church, Riverside, is decided
ly on the map. 1t all came about
because of the kindness and brother

of his assistants, Lawrence Miller,
for the position of Scoutmaster of
Troop %.
Three meetings have been held
since the reorganization and every
time q larger number Of scouts have
returned to renew their allegiance
to the troop. Last Tuesday night
twenty three scouts turned up, and
the meeting was hummer. This
meeting was held in the old fire
company's headquarters which has
been donated to the scouts for their
exclusive use. The place was clean
ed, attractive posters put on the
walls. and is now furnished and one
of the most attractive scout head
quarters in the city.
A number of tenderfoot scouts are

German commercial invasion of France
already has begun. Thus the "Matinn
this morning points out that while 100
francs may be exchanged for 2oS
francs worth OF goods in Germany
to-day, the same sum is good in Great
Britain for only 73, and but 67 in the
United States.
The result is, says the paper, that
German razors, scissors and hardware
are being sent wholesale into France
some shipments disguised but others
openly bearing the German trade
marks.
The "Matin" argues that the falling
mark exchange is working to the ad-
vantage of Germany, but inquiry in
financial circles failed to give any sup
port to this view. Advantage, it is
pointed ont, can accrue to Germany
only while she is clearing out old
stocks, but will promptly disappear
when she comes to buy raw materials.

power to tribunal composed almost
entirely of foreigners; whether we
shall keep our young men at home

our own sense of duty and our own
loyalty to country demand otherwise,
or whether we shall send them to the
northern shambles Of Asia or to per-
form the menial service of police dogs

nowise responsible to the American
people.
Who Shall Control?
'In short, the question is whether
this country will continue to be under
the control and domination of those
who live in it, sons and daughters of
those who made it free, or whether it
will be dominated and vexed and en-
barrassed by those who owe no al
legiance to the flag and have no love
for our institutions.
IF these questions are not for party
action and party declaration, pray
what could be? And the Republican
party, the party which was organized
to destroy human slavery and pre-
serve the Union, is the party above all
which should be vigilant to protect
the untrammeled independence and the
unchallenged sovereignty of this ma
ton.

the Republican party take firm, open,
uncompromising position upon all
these questions. l hope to see it en-

establish free press, free speech and
the right of free asemblage, to reject

Austrians Urge ''Big ~
To Hurry Peace Terms

COPENHAGEN, May 25.-Dr. Karl
Renner, Austrian Chancellor and head of
the German-Austrian peace delegation
has addressed note to Premier Gle
menceau complaining at the delay of
the peace conference in submitting the
peace terms, which he says "is arous-
ing grave anxiety regarding the main
tenance of peace and order in our
fatherland."
The note also calls attention to the
expense of keeping the delegation
abroad and appeals to the peace con-
ference to open negotiations as speedily
as possible.

province is seething with disorder and
revolt against the authority of Admiral
Kolchak.
The attack occurred on the route to
the Suchan mines, on the section OF
the railroad under American protec-
ton. When the train was fired upon
the Americans gave three hours chase,
firing wherever they saw TIE Bolshe-
Wiki. Additional American troops have
been dispatched to the Suchan district.
Reports from Kolchak government
sources say the organized bands of
Bolsheviki number 10000. The Ameri-
cans are operating in extreme wet and
foggy weather, but are carrying on"
magnificently.
Major General William B. Graves,
commander of the American Expedi-
tonary Force, returned to Vladivostok
May %, after an inspection of the
Suchan district. The attack on the
train is considered an overt act, in
view of the proclamation of General
Graves that no faction should interfere
with the operation of the railroad.
The Bolsheviki are believed to have
been testing the attitude Of the Ameri-
cans. The promptness with which the
Americans inflicted punishment on the
Bolsheviki has cheered the Kolchak
government, which expects an active
campaign by them. General Graves,
however, says the American policy has
not been changed, and that the Ameri-
can troops are merely protecting the
rail,oad from all who interfere with
the transport OF supplies and passen-
gers.
Trains guarded by japanese in the
adjoining sector of the Ussuri line also
are reported to have been attacked.
An entire trainload of arms and am
munition is reported to have been
captured.

ministers Lenine and Trotzky are fac
ing the worst crisis the Bolshevik gov
ernment has encountered.
The Bolshevik Premier Lenine was
desirous of having Nansen's revictual-
ling offer put into operation without
the cessation of hostiities, and his eff
forts through numerous messages to
open diplomatic negotiations with the
Entente are regarded by the peace dele
gates as signs of a decided change of
front, probably brought about by the
threatened military collapse due to the
constant Tightening of the ring about
Soviet Russia.
Morris's Trip Discussed
The trip to Omsk of Ira Nelson
Morris, the American Minister to
Sweden, is causing much discussion in
the French press, which is speculat-
ing as to whether the United States
will reach a decision or Russia af-
fairs until Mr. Morris's report is re-
ceived. Apparently the United States
is the only one of the great powers
that has not yet reached conclusion
with respect to the Omsk government

supporters here now believe that even
if the President does not agree that
America shall join in recognition of
the Kolchak government in Russia he
will not object to recognition by the
Allies and to the giving of assistance
which will enable the Bolshevik
forces to overthrow the Lenine -Trotzky
regime.
TOXIC, May 25 (By The Associated

been officially suggested that the
recognition of the powers of Admiral
Kolchak's Omsk government shall be
on the condition that the government
satisfies all treaties and arrangements
entered into by Russia prior to the

In business circles here the belief
is expressed that loans could be made

gold mines and possibly the Trans

Sea bass and Albacore are also found in abundance. The White Sea bass, while more uncertain in it's visits to the Catalina waters is another gamy fish sometimes caught. Two varieties of huge sword fish fairly infest the waters and a fight with one of them is no easy task and affords plenty of excitement. This year there were many leaDing Tunas ranging from 80 to 250 pounds caught while sword fish weighing from 100 to 300 pounds were brought in and huge Black Sea bass about the same weight fell before the prowess of the plucky fishermen.
 Only a short time ago a New Jersey man who has harpooned devil fish and big sharks in Florida came to Santa Catalina to try his luck and while out cruising in his launch two miles from the island sighted a huge sun fish basking in the sunshine. He had taken many game fish at sea so he threw a harpoon at the marine mon ster but it glanced off as if the hide was granite. Then he cautiously came nearer and his second thrust struck home and the fish began to fight. Next his guide seized a gaff and plunged it into the corner of the fish's mouth and tried to pull it to the launch but the weight of the monster was so great that the boat listed. Like a whale the fish belched great volumes of water and it was not until the fish erman had fired several shots from large revolver that the fish was subdued Other fishermen saw the fight and came to lend assistance but tho f1sh-was so heavy that the avail

 . What we are chiefly interested in is the fact that George Henry Lewes. author of the Biographical History of Philosophy" led her into attempting
 fiction. As the assistant editor of the Westminster Review she had shown very little partiality toward this pur- suit for her sex. In an article on
 Silly Novels, by Lady Nove1ists,'' she had even satirized the feminine scrib-

 ''These.'' she wrote, "consist of the

 these-a composite order of feminine fatuity-that produces the largest

We had imagined that destitute women turned novelists. as they turned govern esses, because they had no other ladylike' means of get 1 ting their bread.
