"SOme of Boys Were Blue, but
Not So Since Your Gift
Came" One Writes.

Now for a piece of real news. A
rousins benefit has been offered to THE
SUN Tobacco Fund by Manager Boag at
the Little Club Sunday night. This in
telligence wasn't given out Sunday or
yesterday on purpose. It has been
projected by Mr.. Boag for some days,
ever since, in fact, he took over the
management Of the. charming resor,
which is to be the scene of the festivi-
ties.
It Is not an idea original with him,
however, for the entertainers themselves
headed by Miss Dore, who is a cabaret
singer par excellence, petitioned him
to start Off his career in this new scene
by doing something to increase the fund
that buys smokes for the soldiers. Thii
fund has always been popular one with
the artists and they saw the opportunity
to accomplish for It a really big thing.
Not that the manager OF the Little
Club needed any urging he has on othei
occasions shown himself heart and sou
for the fund and has at such times
conducted them 10 success. When the
Bal Tabarin in the Winter Garden wa,
opened last winter Mr.. Boag speedily en-
tertained the smoke fund there to seen
purpose, as a glance at the figures will
show. That party was gay and re
munerative ono to the fund. but this one
set for the coming Sunday night will bs
gayer and the fund hopes equally II no
moro money producing.
mot only have our people suggested
the idea and manifested great interes
in the party" said Mr.. Boag, "but whil'
1t was still being considered I have beer
approached by the most famous vaude
Vile artists now in town Cor the pur
pose Of offering their services to aid thu
fund. I shall be very much surprised l
the Little Club does not write itself dowi
in the honor list OF cabarets who ex
hibited their strong desire to give thu
soldiers abroad the tobacco they needed
There have been some pretty big par
ties for the benefit OF THE SUN Tobacco
Fund and nopody knows that fact bette
than do, but now that we have JOINED
hands for a regular benefit. all thu
friends Of the soldiers have to do Is t.
come around next Sunday night and sup

Prepare for Big show.
That is the way to talk and there Il

SCOUTS AIDED AT EXPLOSION.

The value of organized boyhood in
an emergency was fully demonstrated
in the cities Of New Jersey TO which
refugees fled from South Amboy,
where the explosion of great shell.
loading plant occurred.
No call was issued for the boys, but
they responded Of their own volltion
and worked as hard as they could do
ing everything and anything asked.
Some Of the scouts rode with the
drivers of conveyances which were
bringing the people from Amboy. They
helped the refugees into the cars, car.
ryihg babies, bundles and family pets,
and making things comfortable on the
ride. Others acted as messengers in
the armories, carried cots and blan.
kets, swept floors, waited on the can.
teen workers, passed out refresh
ments, entertained the children by
playing games with them. and in fact
boys could be seen at all times busy
as bees, doing everything that was
helpful.

BALoPTICoN ENTERTAINMENT

All will agree that the music was
fine, the pictures entertaining and the
readings by Mrs. Gilchrist exceeding
4 ly good. No one went home from the
entertainment last Wednesday disap-
pointed.
Now the lovers of children, of birds
and butterflies and the admirers of
John Burroughs, who also loved these
things, have a great treat in store for
them next week. 1t is important that
the change in day, the change in hour
and the change in place this time be
noted. Because the children of the
village school assist it has been DEEM
ed better to Hold this entertainment in
the Gymnasium, the distance from
home to the Center being too great for
little folks at the evening hour. For
the same reason it has been decided
to commence the exercises a little
earlier, put the children on the pro-
gram first, and it is hoped that then it
will be dark enough to enjoy the bal
opticon pictures. Owing to the change
in place Of meeting, in order not to
conflict with the midweek services in
the churches, the day has been chang
ed to Thursday. So on Thursday
evening, at o'clock, in the Gymnas-
ium, the next entertainment will be
enjoyed.
The thanks Of the committee and Of
the community at large is due to Mr..
ARGUS, who valves his plan to show
moving pictures on that evening in
order that this entertainment may
have a right Of way, and such thanks
are hereby rendered to him. Such
generous cooperation is unusual.
Here is the program; come and en-
JOY it.

GERMAN MISUSE OF SCOUTS

How German terrorism has extended

told by Thomas n. Johnson, STAFF
correspondent Of the Evening Sun Of

army IN France. He says:
"The fear Of German boy scouts, as
-nuch as anything else. intiInidates
the German people at home, according
to prisoners captured In the last few
days.
several prisoners. including Prns.
sians, explain this seemingly strange
statement by saying that German boy
scouts IN the cities. lads of fifteen and
sixteen years of age, have been drilled
and equipped with machine guns and
placed under orders by the military au.
thoritles and the police--drilled as
thoroughly and strictly as German sol.
diers themselves and taught the goose
step.
German civilians, weakened by lack
of food and knowing the murderous
power of machine guns, are In awe OF
these youngsters, who are beginning to
give themselves the airs of Prusslan
officers. II this is true. 1t il u val.
