Boy Scout Camping Site.

Edward Box, of Philadelphia, has
purchased and presented to the
Philadelphia Boy Scout Council,
Treasure Island, which for the past
six years has been used as camp
site by the Scouts.
The island is situated in the hela-
ware River, between Trenton and
Easton. II comprises over fifty
acres of wooded and meadow land OF
high elevation.
Treasure Island was originally an
Indian camping ground, but later
was called Marshall's Island after
the Marshall who executed the
walking treaty with the Indians.
During the summer 500 Scouts
are accommodated at one time, and
troops visit the island for periods OF
one or two weeks. 1t is estimated
that 5000 scouts have spent vaca
tions at Treasure Island. The sea
son begins this year on June 2Sth
and continues until August S0th.

 When the Olympic drew into port says the report, and the news of the outbreak of influenza was received, the medical authorities hesitated to disem bark all these troops, who were fresh from training camps in the mild climate of the Southern states For the only place to take them was the Southampton rest camp, which was situated on low wet ground, and was without adequate facilities for taking care of sick men or men who had been exposed to an epidemic Most of the housing in the camp was in tents without cots, and the men had to sleep on floors which consisted merely of one layer of thin boards a few inches off the ground"

INFLUENZA WAS SOLDIERS ENEMY This Killed Many Americans in
 England

London, July 10, Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-More than half the deaths among the American soldiers in Great Britain were due to influenza. The total number of cases of the disease in the three months of the epidemic among the Americans here reached 7,512. Tn that period deaths from pneumonia, developing in most cases from influenza, num- bered 1,717. Of 5000 troops brought on one trip by the Steamer Olyna pic, 2,0O0 contracted the disease and, as about one- third of these cases devel- oped pneumonia, the proportion of fatalities was very large.
 These figures are contained in an elaborate report being prepNred by the American Red Cross covering the work of the organization in Great Britain up to the beginning of this year.

PROGRESS OF THE
GERMAN ASSEMBLY
CHANGED LITTLE

Weimar, March 3.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press)-The
German National assembly has been
at work some weeks now. and has
demonstrated, among other things,
two things clearly. It is unable to do
business much more speedily than the
old ~,reichstag, chiefly because there
is little unity and much dissension'
der of things has changed very little
despite the myriad Of new faces.
The latter is perhaps the most I'M
'portant point. because the assembly
was hailed by countless German pa
rpers-and particularly by the agencies
that supply the outside world with
news-as the birth Of the new re-
public. h beginning Of a new regime.
the living emblem of the passing of
the old.
1T Is new In a sense. and the old
has passed perhaps. but there
are enough of the old people left, and
so many Of the new people are not
much unlike the old. that the effect in
the Weimar theater is not much diff
ferent from the reichstag. One hears
precisely the same arguments from
the floor, watches a precious time fly
by over the same Or similar argu-
ments as used to make one despair
Of constructive legislation.
Perhaps the most striking thing is
the tone Of the great majority of the
party speeches. Just one delegate
has had the courage to attack the
conservatives and the moral strength
to go on record as admitting that Ger
many had something to do with start
ing the war.
