On Transport; 80 Sick
Three Soldiers and Two Sailors
on Antonio Lopez Victims;
$3.50 Fighters Arrive

Three transports came in yesterday
with 5,553 officers and men. One of
the vessels was hard hit by an cpl
demic of influenza. This was the An
tonic Lopez of the Spanish line, which
brought LILA officers and men from
Bordeaux. The contagion spread
throughout the ship soon after she
passed Gibraltar Before she arrived
two men Of the crew and three soldiers
had died. The sailormen's bodies were
consigned to the sea, but the bodies Of
the soldiers were brought to port.
The Lopez brought home the 325th
Infantry, in command Of Lieutenant
Colonel Thomas L. Pierce, of Boston,
who was wounded three times. Soon
after leaving Bordeaux the surgeons
on board discovered several cases of
influenza and Immediately the patients
were taken to an isolation compart-
ment. Nevertheless the disease had
spread and thirty men were stricken.
The soldiers who succumbed were Pri-
vate Arthur B. Hunter, of Coberg,
Ohio; Private William B. Walker, of
Locke, of Nanticoke, Penn.
me w dlter "a. AuCkenDdCn from
Bordeaux brought 2,495 officers and
men, chiefly Of the 327th Infantry, in
command of Colonel John S. Preston
of the regular army. The men took
part of the Argonne, Meuse and Cha

The Noordam from Brest brought
1859 officers and mon, the principal

| they were able assistants in other les.
important movements in every state
city and village in the United States
During this period Of service the
boys probably learned more about
their country and its needs than the,
would have learned in ordinary times
before reaching manhood. They be-
came a Part of the country, an arm
of the government service.
Value Seen by McAdoo
Nobody had better opportunity to see
the value of the work carried on by
the Scouts than William G. McAdoo
when Secretary Of the Treasury. Be-
fore he left the Cabinet he made
Scouts of America that he would like
an opportunity to show his apprecia-
tion of the work Of the boys.
Because Of this Mr.. McAdoo has been
made head Of the citizens committee
that will carry on the nationwide
membership drive. Mr.. McAdoo OBJ
tanned the service of the entire Lib
erty Loan machinery for Scout Week.
The loan organization has been turned
over to the Scouts intact, and it will
function for them just as it did during
the big loan drives.
The country has been divided into
twelve districts, as it was for the loan
campaigns, and each district has been
given quota of members it must OBJ
tain during the week. New York is
asked to find 100000 adults who will
lend their brains to the Boy Scout
movement. Interest already shown
indicates that that number probably
will be doubled during the first few
days of the drive.
Other districts and their member
ship quotas are: Boston, 83,333;
Cleveland, 100000; Richmond, 4s,6e7;
Atlanta, $4,000; Chicago, $4,000; st.
Louis, $4,000; Minneapolis, $4,000;
Kansas City, 43,334; Dallas, $1,000;
San Francisco, $1,000.
Sure to Put it Over
The present drive is the biggest pro-
ject-in fact, the only movement-the
Scouts ever have undertaken for
But the interest that has
been exhibited in every quarter has
convinced Chief Executive West that
it will be "put over" just as were the
other tasks the Scouts have under
taken.
"Never before in the history Of the
Scout movement has anything been at
tempted on so great a scale" Mr.. West
said at national headquarters. "Only
a man of the first calibre, like Mr.. Nc
Adoo, could put it over and that it's
success is assured is seen in the re-
personnel of co-workers with
whom Mr.. McAdoo has surrounded
himself.
eve want to project the light Of
public attention on the Boy Scouts of
America as movement which has
grown to be the largest of it's kind the
world has ever known, brotherhood
of organized boyhood which builds
solidly for the future, which prepares
the young of to-day for the responsi-
b;lities of citizenship tomorrow.
"The present membership Of the Boy
Scout movement includes about 472,000
Scouts and leaders. Notwithstanding
his tremendous organization, there are
only 250 paid officials"

Baden-POwell Aims
To Link Nations in
Girls Organizations
Englishman Says Women
of World Can Maintain
Peace Even if League
Fails; Praises Heroines

"America and Britain together car
keep the peace of the world, even if
other nations fall away from the
league of nations" declared Major
General Sir Robert Baden-Powell, at
girls victory rally in Carnegie Hall
yesterday afternoon.
"If can get hold of a millionaire or
two I'd like to take several thousand
of your girls on a visit to England" he
continued. Nothing would 60 further
to cement feeling between the two
great English speaking nations, who
are no longer cousins, but brothers and
sisters"
Through afiliating American girl or
CARNATIONS with others in Rumania,
Russia, France, England, Scotland, Ire
land and Australia, Sir Baden Powell
hopes to create an international girls
organization similar to that of the Boy
Scouts
Every girls organization in greater
New York was invited to send eighty
five members to the meeting yesterday.
Among those represented were the Girl
Scouts, with a national membership of
moro than $4,000; the Girls Friendly
Society, Girl Reserves of the Y W..
C. A., Camp Fire Girls, Woman's Land
Army, Girls Service Club, Girl Pho
neers, Jewish Big Sisters, and others.
Lady Olave Baden-Powel and Daniel
Beard, veteran of the Boy Scout move
ment in America, also occupied seats
on the platform.
Dressed in their various uniforms,
thousand or more girls. ranging in age
from eight to eighteen, lined up under
banners on both sides Of Carnegie Hall
and marched in.
A place of honor on the platform
was given large detachment of Girl
Scouts, who marched in last behind
standard bearers carrying the Union
Jack and the Stars and Stripes.
Sir BadenPowell won many bursts of
applause with stories of the work in
England during the war by the Girl
Guides. He also told of new decora-
tion created in recognition of their
services. This is a bronze &C." sug-
gested by the example of Edith Cavell,
and standing for "Cavell and courage"
So far, he said, only one English girl
has won this decoration.
"People in England first thought the
training given Girl Guides too man.
like" he said, "but the war showed
that the girls knew what service meant.
Their training told when the crisis
came
"The first aid to reach the scene of
one of the biggest munitions plant ex-
plosions near London came from Girl
Guides and Boy Scouts. Although the
explosions continued, the girls fitted
up hoolrooms as emergency hospitals
and cared for women and children all
night and into the next day before
they were relieved by professional
workers.
at is the aim of our organization to
make the lives we lost in this war
count for something permanent.
IL don't see how women can go back
to card playing, idling and society
pleasures after the war has shown them
how to come forward and bear their
share of the trials of the world"

American Girl Violinist Rates Joy She Gave
Doughboys Greater Than Dancing
with Prince of Wales

The American girl who recently OBJ
!! talned so much newspaper notoriety
oy dancing five times in one evening
with the Prince Of Wales at Coblenz
has arrived at her home in Boston,
after seven months service overseas
as Y. NJ. c.. A. entertainer. She is
Miss Elinor Whittemore and she in
sists that she wants to stand on her
own feet for her war service record,
not on the toes of a foreign prince.
To her way Of thinking she has done
many more worth while things while
in service for the Y NJ c. A. than
dancing several times about a crowd
ed ballroom with English royalty.
For instance she has played her vio-
lin to nearly 100000 American SOL
diers in France, Italy, Austria and
Germany, and has given 200 complete
performances to our soldiers of an
entertainment feature; a Little Cheer
from Home"
Fet It Duty to G.,
Because there was no son in her
family to go to war, she felt it her
duty and privilege to give up her po-
sition as the head Of leading Amer
lean Concert Company and to offer
her services as violinist to the Y. NJ.
{. y. She sailed for France last
-tugust with unit which was or
New York. pianist and also COM
poser CT Miss May Wilson Of New
York. a soprano singer. ard Miss
Ethel Hinton of Boston, an inper-
senator.
Her unit was the first Y NJ. c. A.
entertainment unit to be sent to the
front. She went to Eerdun in the
sector occupied by the 18th engineers.
Later she was sent to the Argonne
Forest. during the big September
drive. and there joined the third reg
ular army division. Many times dur
ing an entertainment the boche air
planes would hover threateningly
over the ''pano-sur- Ia truck Then
it required courage to play Chopin
nocturne without syncopations or any
raggedy melody. Sometimes the men
would listen to the music for an hour
or so and then leave directly for that
little job up front"
/ Men Loved Music
This men ju-t loved music" Miss
Whttemore explained. And they al
ways wanted the best. I played clas-
steal music wholly, simply because
the men wanted it. They We're so ap-
preciative and discrimina ting"
Just before the armistice Miss
Whittemore was sent 70 Italy, her
unit again being the first C that sort
to go there. She travelled all over
that country up into the mountains,
past the Plave river into Austria and
at Treviso met the 332d infantry. the
only American outfit in Austria. The
doughboys greeted the three Ameri-
can women with mad jog They were
the first that many lads had seen
since leaving this country.
