TROOP NEWS

Troop 15-Last Friday night was some night for us. We had three visitors and. believe me, it was some interesting meet ing. We had Col. J. l.. Dewitt to give us talk on France. Gle has been on General Pershing's personal staff for one and half years), and he made a fine talk, telling us about the war from the beginning to end, just as he saw it. He said that he did not see very much of the Boy Scouts over there, but when he was in large park in a torn-up city he saw some French scouts drilling equipped with a soldiers pack. Then he told about the battle of the Marne, the battle of the Argonne and many oth- CT famous battles, He also told about the German officer that he captured and the fighting corporal of Tennessee, who had captured almost a whole company. and then he told us to ask him any question we wanted to know about on what he he saw. About this time Mir. Louis Geld CTS and Mrs. D. B. Dimick came in and then Mir. Dimick told us all about Camp Andrews and complimented us very much in regard to our uniforms. The troor medal for efficiency was awarded to Mey- CT Newfeld for the week ending May 23
 Troop 1S-We held fine meeting last week, which included a surprise visit from one or our most enthusiastic troop committeeman, Mir. C. S. Moseley. We gave him a rousing cheer and he re- sponded with an inspiring talk of boys he had known who had lived like good scouts and of their success in life. We also received Mrs. Karl Landgrebes ac- ceptance to become our troop mother We were proud to send her our thanks in flowers Sunday morning, Mothers Day. Our cabin at Camp Andrews is going up in fine shape. We hope to have it nearly finished next week.
