HOW SCOUTS HELPED FRANCE

A recent statement received at na- tional headquarters of the Boy Scouts Of American by General Baden-Powell, head of the English scouts, contains the following:
 "The fighting is over at last, and the scouts, whether from home or over- seas, have distinguished themselves in noticeable proportion throughout the war. Among the highest, three out of General Haig's five army command CTS in France are scout commissioners Sir Herbert Plumer, Sir William Birdwood and Sir Julian Byng.
 "While at Lille heard of the pluck of boy scout during the German oc- cupation. No sooner had the German staff received news by wireless as to the progress of the war and events in other countries than it was at once known by all the inhabitants of Lille.
 '"Till the time of their departure the Germans never discovered how the news leaked out. AS soon as night fell every evening this boy rigged up his wireless apparatus on the roof of his home, received all the news that was going and had it typed and communi cated to his friends. The apparatus was all down and slowed away before the day daWned.'
