way TO France. When the trans.
port was several hundred miles out

other boats which hurried to the
assistance of the disabled transport. !.
but three Of the sailors lost their
lives IN getting cables to the tr>ns-

experience was not q pleasant one
It was partially balanced by the
fact that when he returned to Nev
York he found . captains commis-
sion awaiting him.

SCOUTING IN SCHOOL FAVOR.

The superintendent of the public
schools at Athens o., Godfrey f. Nor
gan, states that he considers II wise
to release scouts from school In order
that they may assist in important
forms of civil service, such as the taxi
ing Of food census, cleanup cam
paign and similar public welfare
events.
Both high school and grade school
teachers In Athens are represented on
the court of honor OF the local council
of the Boy Scouts of America. Spe-
cific subjects in the merit badge work
Of scouts who aspire to become Eagle
scouts are assigned to different teach
ers who, for the most part, conduct the
merit badge tests. The principal OF
the high school is chairman of the
Court of Honor.
"The scout movement here" Mr..
Morgan says, "has the hearty support
nd approval of the school people"

SEA SCOUTS GROWING FAST.

The sea scout branch of the Boy
Scouts Of America are following a
modified plan for scouting along sea-
manshlp lines. This program has been
approved by eminent captains, ad-
mirals and chiefs of our merchant,
naval and nautical fleets.
In the larger scout centers sea
scouts are already numbered by hun
dreds. There is need of at least 100,-
600 sea scouts.
The sea scout branch provides work
of a harder but quite as interesting
character as main scouting.
Boats are built, drill masts rugged
laws OF the sea studied and practiced
by means of homemade models, until,
when ready, the troop. or ships com
pany, takes to the actual water, In
pond, river, lake or sea, and so pro-
crosses from one stage of study to the
next, ending up, after year or so, as
able sea scouts.

THE death of Colonel Roosevelt has

successfully opposed the Democrats,

Kitchin's Illness Delays
Revenue Bill Hearing
Protests Against the Proposed
Amusement Tax Piling Up
Meanwhile
Neqo York Tribune


WASHINGTON, Jan. 20--Because OF
the illness of Chairman Kitchin, OF the
House Ways and Means Committee, the
Revenue Bill conferrees were unable to
go on with their work to-day. 1t is eX-
pected that Mr. Kitchin Will be able
to attend the sessions tomorrow.
In the meantime the rooms OF the
Finance Committee in the Capitol are
rapidly filling with kilograms, letters
and petitions protesting against the
COMPROMISE in regard to the treatrlcal
admission tax 1t is calculated that q
fair-sized truckioad of such such COM
munications has been received already.
When the conferrees assemble to-mcr-
row thew will be confronted with q
regular haystak Of the chicks" piled up
on their table This is the way in
which they we'll "see" the protests, as
any detailed scrutiny of them ls quite
out of the question.
Asked again to-day as to what chance
there is for revising the decision as to
the theatrical admission tax. Senator
Simmons again aSserleo thaI IL Was up
to Mr.. Kitchin.
No estimates have been made OF the
amount that will be added to the reve-
nues by the application of the per
cent war profits tax to governmemnV
contract profits that may be realized in
1919. 1t was explained to-day that the
same exemptions will be allowed on the
so per cent tax on government contract
profits as in the general application OF
the war profits tax for 1918 income. 1T
is probable that the bulk OF the prohts
on a large part Of the war contracts
that were in process Of being fulfilled
when production was suspended by
reason of the signing of the armistice
will be realized this year.
