URGES BOY TO KEEP FAITH
General Pershino's Sage Counsel Given
to the Members OF the Boy Scouts
Of America.

General. Pershing has always been
a strong friend of the Boy Scouts Of
America.
He knows to the full the value of
the many-sided service they gave in
the war.
He knows the value of scout train
ing in producing a well-equippcd
manhood, for there were 100000
former scouts in the army in France.
General Pershing has sent this
letter to Colin II. Livingstone, pres
ident Of the Bog Scouts of America,
urging them 'to remember" :"
"My Dear Mr.. Livingstone: On
July rs, last year, while we were in
the midst Of the desperate battle of
the Marne, l sent a greeting to the
Boy Scouts of America from our SOL
diers in France, and urged them to
keep faith with the scout, laws.
''Those were days when old and
young realized the necessity for
every one to serve the country:
"Today, without the pressure Of a
great war to hold our attention upon
the necessity of good citizenship, it
is important that the lessons Of the
war in patriotism: and devotion be
always borne in mind, as the obliga-
>tions in peace time are as urgent as
in war. Let there be no relaxation
in your efforts. Sincerely yours,
John J. PERSHING."
