SCOUTS AT OLYMPIC GAMES.

The 300 or more Boy Scouts OF
America who toured France and Bel
quinn following the recent world
scouts "Jamboree" i'm England, spent
only one day in Antwerp, Belgium, but
II was the liveliest and "loudest" day
Of their whole speedy and noisy Flu
ropean trip. That was August 18th,
the second day of the Olympic games,
when the American athletes made
their first sensational strides In the
smashing of world records, and II was
Just the scout delegations luck to be
there that day. They were given the
distinction of,acting as the guard Of
honor to King Albert on the way to
the games and. as guests of the Olym-
pic committee. had choice seats In the
American section Of the vast stadium.
The cable dispatches Of that day. in
describing the scene following the I'M
furling of the Stars and Stripes at the
peak Of the "honor pole" and an
n0unNement of the wonderful perform
ance of our athletes said:
"There was wild burst OF enthusi-
asm from the whole audience punctu-
ated with Autographed yell of the
American roofing party, which was
augmented this day by large con-
tingent of Boy Scouts of America. The
crowd In the American section went
wild. Men and women flung their
hats in the air aud shouted, cheered.
sung and screamed. But by far the
widest lot OF enthusiasts was that
body of boy scouts who had just ar
rived from the London jamboree.
The section was sea OF tossing fig
ures as the scouts stood on their seats
and roared their delight"
