An American army doctor who has
waded through Flanders writes:
To-day we carry our supplies of
medicines and food to distant villages
through roads several feet deep in
mud. Rains are frequent and heavy
and the fogs penetrate our bones.

fective services rendered by the Boy
Scouts of America; for a survey of
the facts relating to the boyhood of
each community, in order that with
the cooperation of churches, schools
and other organizations definitely en-
gaged in worak for boys, adequate
provision may be made for extending
the Boy Scout program to larger
propo,t ton of American boyhood.
The Boy Scout movement offers un-
usual opportunity for volunteer ser
vice. It needs men to act as commit
teemen and as leaders of crops of
boys. I hope that all who can will
enlist for such personal service, en-
roll as associate members and give
all possible financial assistance to
this worthy organization of American
boyhood. Anything that is done to in
crease the effectiveness of the Boy
Scouts of America will be genuine
contribution to the welfare of the
nation.

Senator Townsend Has In
troduced Measure to Aid

Washington. May 31.--States in
which title to large percentage of
the area is still held by the national
government will rot be handicapped
thereby in the building of a national
highway system thru the operation

congress by Charles F.. Townsend,

and incoming chairman of the com
mittee on post offices and post roads

send because any basis of dlstribu-
ton which did not take into account
these large government holding
would not only be manifestly unfair
to those states but would present SER
ious difficulties in accomplishing my
primary purpose, namely connected
system of interstate highways.
! Much Federal Land.
| at is perhaps not generally under
stood that unqualified title is held by
the federal government to 1915 per
cent of the total area of the United
States Included in this domain are
national parks, forests, Indian reser-
vations, basic material reservations,
water sheds, national monuments and
other areas, including millions of
acres of public lands. In some states
the federal is far larger than state
and private holdings. AS examples:
In Nevada the federal government
holds 9O.6 per cent of all the land
area; in Wyoming 71.9 per cent: in
Arizona TIP per cent and in Utah
1913 per cent, while in each of six 9th
err western states the government
are so per cent or more.
"Obviously under such conditions
states with sparse populations and
small taxable areas and generally
low in valuation as we'll, could not
develop their highway facilities il
the federal government restricted its
own activities by failing to allow
credit for the national holdings.
"To meet this condition / have in
cluded a provision in my measure
which says that in states where there
iare federal holdings, the actual roat
mileage shall be taken as relative
land that the mileage of national high
ways shall be based upon the actua

be licensed to ply for hire at about
twenty cents mile.
The American army has made great
use of side-cars in Paris and their
hardness has appealed to everybody
Or course there is the drawback that
a side-car only carry one pas

between so and 60 per cent of taxi
cabs have only one passenger.

WILSON NAMES
JUNE 8 TO IA AS
BOY SCOUT WEEK
Lands Services of Scouts to
Nation During Period
of War.
The following proclamation has
been issued by President Wilson:

A PROCLAMATION.
The Boys Scouts of America have
rendered notable service to the nation
during world war. They have done eff
fect:ve work in the Liberty loan and
War Savings campaigns, in discover
ing and reporting upon the black wal
nut supply, in cooperating with the
Red Cross and other war work agen-'
cics, in acting as despatch bearers,
for the committee on public inforna-.
ton, and in other important fields.
The Boy Scouts have not only demon
strated their worth to the nation, but
have also materially contributed to
a deeper appreciation by the Ameri-
can people of the higher conception
of patriotism and good citizenship.
The Boy Scout movement should
not only be preserved, but strength
ened. It deservices the support of all
public-spirited citizens. The avail
able means for the Boy Scout move
ment have thus far sufficed for the
organization and training of only a
small portion of the boys of the coun-
try. There are approximately 10000
600 boys in the United States be-
tween the ages of IL and Fl. OF
these $4,000 are enrolled as mem
bers of the Boy Scouts of America.
America cannot acquit herself
commensurately with her power and
influence in the great period now fac
ing her and the world unless the boys
|of America are given better oppor-
tunities than heretofore to prepare
themselves for the responsibilities of
citizenship.
Every nation depends for it's future
upon the proper training and develop
|ment of it's youth. The American boy
must have the best training and dis
|cipline our great democracy can pro-
wide if America is to maintain her
ideals. her standards and her influence
in the world.
The plan, therefore, for Boy
Scout week during universal APP
Ipeal will be made to all Americans to
supply the means to put the Boy
Scouts of America in position to
carry forward effectively and contin,
uously the splendid work they are
doing for the youth of America,
should have the unreserved support
of the nation.
Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States OF
America, do hereby recommend that
the period beginning Sunday, june
9Th, to Flag Day, June 14th, be OBJ
served as Boy Scout week through the
United States for the purpose OF
Strengthening the work of the Boy
Scouts of America.
earnestly recommend that, in ev-
cry community, a citizens committee
under the leadership. of nationa
lcitizens' committee, be organized tx
cooperate in carrying out program
+. for definite recognition Of the eff
