 Due to Extreme Winter
By Associated Press

Halifax, N. S., January 2s.-Inhabitants of southwestern Newfoundland are threat ened with starvation on account of the terrible wintry conditions along the route of the Reid Newfoundland railway, ac- cording to Captain Pettipas and Captain Shaw, two weatherbeaten mariners, who reached their homes here today. Their schooners, the Itasca and the Cecil l.. Beck, were frozen in at North Bay. N. F., and in order to reach Port-Aux-Basques to get a steamer for Sydney, N. S., they were obliged to travel 174 miles of the icebound railway by foot and sled Both men bore marks of their battle with the clements
 Towns and villages between North Bay and Port-Aux-Basques are running out of provisions, they said. and there is an extreme shortage of flour. Possibility of having the supply replenished was re- mote, they declared, because the rail- way&is completely blocked with ice and snow and 1t will be many weeks before traffic can be resumed. They described conditions as appalling"
 1T don't know what is to become of the people, said Captain Pettipas.

NEW STUDY PLEDGE FOR BOY SCOUTS
Scouts Have Plan to Speed Up" High School
 Studies

High school pupils who make an aver age of S5 per cent or better in any branch of study do not have to stand the reg ular examination at the end of the semes- ter for that subject
 And Boy Scout attendants at the High School have started movement amid the student body to pass that s5 mark. or better, and attempt to do their work so well they will be free of examinations.
 With the approval of r. A. Gully and w. P Roach, scoutmasters, Saul Gofd- stein has started out with a pledge for the scouts to sign, and with him in the work are James Robinson. Jr.. Frank Hclle. Selwin Smith, Eugene Ramsey and Charles Barclay.
 They are members of Troop No. i of the Boy Scouts, and their first work will be with the other members of this troop, and from there they expect the plan to spread not only throughout all the scouts who attend the high school, but to all the high school pupils and maybe take root with the children who are yet to reach the high school.
 Those who have signed up to make the trial have already adopted new form of salutation when they meet a felNw member:
 Have you passed?'
 And if No" is the answer, then the questioner will come pack with:
 Better get to work and make it up"
 The idea having come from the boys themselves, although the 85 per cent rul- ing if of long standing, the scoutmasters believe that there is going to be consid- erable improvement in scholastic stand- ing among the youngsters from now on.

 That's my business" Frances an- swered.
 You mean-that Ballin-"
 That's my business she repeated. But I don't mind telling you that he won't trouble us very much"
 Red continued his start for moment, then a short laugh broke from his lips. 'You can't tell that to me-" he exclaimed. Where's his body?"
 That's also my business" Frances said for the third time She hesitated then she. too, laughed, with an open frankness that disarmed the man of his suspicious. Say" she exclaimed, you people must think I'm easy. You order me to go oub and-and dispose of this man. then you want me to lead you to the evidence, so that if any trouble comes up. you can send me to the electric chair and get me out of the way. I told you Ballin would not bother us any more. but I'm not silly enough to prove it to you. Now, let me ask you some questions What are you doing up here? Come to spy on me? Wanted to see if I did good job? You were foolish. Red because you have let yourself into trouble. Listen. If this business ever gets out, don't forget that you were a party to the deed. You stood guard while I went upstairs"
 The man paid no hede to the threat. rather his eyes strayed to the staircase. and he asked in a stiffled whisper. "Then you did it upstairs?'
 "Go find out" Frances laughed quickly. "I told you I wasn't leaving trail that you could follow. You or Susie or any one else What was that scream I heard down here a moment ago?' Again the other hesitated, and in his very loss for a ready answer Frances gained a wee bit of knowledge. We'll, at any rate, she had the satisfaction of knowing that 1t had failed Where you going now?" Larkln asked as Frances opened the door.
 "Downtown," was her short answer. 1T

 has long and good record. It was the
 body of men which called for George Washington's famous saying, when, upon
 one occasion, tight situation was threat

 It was company of marines from the 1 Fifth regiment that was first over the side of John Paul Jones sinking Bon
 homme Richard and cleared the way for the capture of the moment before prac- tically victorious enemy ship. It was the Fifth regiment of marines that was first over the wall at the storm

 In the famous six-day action of the re- cent war, the battle of Chateau Thierry,
 fought between June and A. 1918, the Fifth and Sixth marines and Sixth ma chine gun battalion of marines formed part of the American Second division, which, with the American Third division, were the only American troops to take part in the fight that turned the tide.
 Chateau Thierry was a defensive ac- tion, on fifteen-mile front The Ger mans were on the offensive. The Ger mans were stopped and lost the initiative, never to regain it, at Chateau Thierry. From there on the allies were aggres- sors. Even before the allied counter offensive started, July IS, 1918, the enemy had been forcef back. and when Foch did start the o6unter-offensive. of which later the clearing of the Marne salient was part. the battle of Chateau Thierry was history, over a month old, and its hard fought field miles and miles behind the fighting line.

 Looking back over her shoulder as she reached the foot of the ladder, Frances motioned Ballin to close the trap door, then she turned and ran with noiseless tread to the floor below, pausing at the curve of the railing, waiting and listen ing for some sound that would give her ar inkling of what had taken place in the house.
 At last a faint whispering reached her ears. coming from the ground floor and sliding carefully along the railing, she peered over and found herself looking into the upturned face of Red Larkin.
 Her first instinct was to start back before the man could eaten good look at her face. but on second thought she walked boldly down the stairs and faced he gangster, who met her steady gaze with curious glint in his eyes. !
