The national council of the Boy
Scouts of America urges executives
to cooperate in every way possible
with the National Thrift Bag league
in this work. Scoutmasters and local
scout officials are urged to cooperate
with the National Thrift Bag league

in distributing to the homes of the
community the large paper bags and
red notification tags. These bags are
to be used for the salvage of rags,
large or small, of cotton, wool. or any
kind of disable waste material. Bag

SCOUTS HELP GOVERNMENT.

At the invitation of the United
States forestry service, So Pasadena
(Cal) scouts did the initial work on
the master frebreak that is to protect
the Pasadena watershed The scouts
cleared LOO feet Of 5O-foot firebreak
through woods of oak. scrub oak, man.
zanita and other hardwood brush. The
ranger in charge of the construction
work found the experiment great
success, not only on account of the
work accomplished by the boys, but
also from the fact that these scouts
had first-hand education in the diff
cult methods of firebreak construction
and will therefore appreciate what
the forestry department is doing to pro-
tect the countrys watersheds. Each
hoy was required to bring his blanket
and ten cents carfare. The govern
ment paid all other expenses and fur
nished extra blankets for each boy.

FRANCE AND BRITAIN
AGREE To AID POLES
ARE CONVINCED THAT RUSS
PLAN is TO SET UP SOVIET
RULE IN POLA-ID.
Plans Are Being Drawn Up by Foch
and Wilson for Military, Naval
and Economic Defense of
Threatened Nation.

Hythe, England.-Great Britain and
France are convinced that the bolshe-
Wiki intend to capture Warsaw and set
up soviet government in Poland.
This was learned from ali official
source following announcement that
the conference on Poland between
Premiers Lloyd George of Great Brit
ain ana Millerand of France, held on
Sunday, would be continued, when the
premiers will pass on naval, military
and economic plans to save Poland.
The plans are being drawn up by
Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Sir
Henry Wilson, chief of the British
imperial staff.
These developments followed Of
fetal announcement that the soviet
had refused ten days truce, sug-
gested by Lloyd George in Fridays
meeting with the Russian mission
headed by NJ. Kameneff and NJ Kras-
sin.
While there has been no talk of Of
ficially declaring war on Russia, the
allies have decided to give Poland all
possible military, naval and economic
assistance at once.
1t was reliably reported that the
blockade of Russia would be reim-
posed Immediately.
While the bolsheviIi refusal is said
not to be final and there was mention
of some counter-proposal, the premiers
decided to complete all plans for Po-
lands assistance and then wait
final reply.
The purpose of the truce was to halt
the bolsheviki rush on the ground
they occupy and to arrange tempo
rary peace within ten days.
Although the condition of the Polish
army on the northern front is not yet
entirely hopeless, it is said that every
third man is without shoes and that
there is hardly one with the complete

Something the Keepers Had
Never Seen Before

either wins the fight and in turn is ex-

new bull Mogul. recently proved to
be an exception. He was two years
old. fine example of what ii young
buffalo should be, and he seemed thor
oughly content to mind his own bust
ness and to let the other bulls mind
theirs. No one would have known
that there was new buffalo in the
herd.
One morning the keepers saw that
there was something in the mir. Mogni
was shifting round the reigning bull
They were apart from the herd, heads
down, and were moving round slowly
Ii was the queerest beginning of
bullfight that the keepers had ever
seen. 1t appeared as if Mosul would
knock out the old bull with one toss.
AS they moved round and round Mo-
gul seemed to be horning the other
bull in the eye, and the other bull did
not seem to be making the least re-
sistance Then they pulled apart and
Mogul put down his head.
The old bull had bunch Of thorny
cactus sticking over his right eye, ana
Mogul was horning it off as best he
could with his clumsy short little
horns. Finally, after two more at
tempts. circl!ng round as before. he
got the cactus off, and each moved
