A letter was received at camp from
the Chief" Here are few extracts
from it:
Tell the boys for me that there
is no country as beautiful as Amer
lea. Our camp site has anything
beaten that 1 have seen here.
ION the trip over we had numer-
GUS storms, but nothing particularly
interesting happened. We arrived
at Havre in the afternoon and had
to await the flood tide to get into
harbor. The pilot came aboard from
the queerest little tugboat, and after
ceremonies we up anchor and slowly
steam into harbor. This was quite
a neat little trick. The harbor at
Havre Is enclosed by a large sea
wall. by passing through little open
ings. Just large enough for the ships,
we came to quiet water, and tied up
to the wharf 1890 p. m. and stin
light. The evenings are a long beau
tiful twilight lasting until nearly IL
p. m. or GA o'clock.
THE next day started out to see
Paris. on the way had to pass
through Normandy which was very
beautiful. Arriving at Paris, re-
ported at American Headquarters,
and Mr.. Barclay of B. S. A, intro
duced us to Mr. De Marquette who
took us around Paris. Paris Is Won
derful etc.
my Indian stuff appeals and the
papers have played it up big. They
idolize the American Indian here.
"The American Committee, who
offered the scouts an opportunity to
help. are doing the greatest amount
Of good. I would strongly appeal to
every scout In camp (and out OF
camp) to get behind that opportun-
ity and make a contribution. Your
little sacrifices are absolutely moth
ing compared to the sufferings and
needs of these peoples. You cannot
imagine the amount Of good, unless
YOU could see these boys (those who
are scouts and those who are noD
in their work and play. have seen
several contributions from Whining
ton and have been accorded the
honor and privilege Of selecting the
boy who is to be the guest of those
Delaware troops at this camp. in
tend to select one or more and keer
in close touch with them while they
are here Making pictures Of them
etc. Don't lose another moment but
get on the job and make a contribu-
ton toward this great cause. Just
think of it as a great internationa
good turn and show them wha
scouting has taught the American
boy and what it can do for those
boys here"
Reports from camp show that
everything is going splendldly. Tit
last week from August 20 to 27 will
be P. G. T. week and all p. G. IT,
are urged to try to come down for
real reunion. Circulate this amonl
your scouts so that every =. G. I
will know. This does not mean tina
only p. G. It's can come down bu
that the p. G. It's will be givei
special activities.
The big activity of last week was
ghost hunt when the boys went to
haunted house and discovered sew
eral spirits" walking around. Need
less to tell what happened then.
There will be an aquatic meet to
t morrow. Some scouts also made

De Valera's Crossing.

Eamonn de Valera has managed to
slip back into Ireland, despite the sup.
posedly tight safeguards of the Brit.
ish government against his return to
his republic" Speculation is ex-
cited at once as to the means Of his
transit. Did he fly over? That is no
longer a wild bit of imagination. Fly.
ing has become a practicable means
of evading barriers. It has been used
and probably will in the future great.
ly complicate national and interna.
tional situations. Did he go over in
submarine? Nor is that a purely
fantastic suggestion. The war has
proved the ''undersea" boat to be a
distinctly effective method of unde.
tected approach. 1t was used off the
Irish coast on number of occasions,
and on one that had tragic ending.
OF course, it is possible that de Valera
simply went over on ship. Or he
may have gone over part way on q
ship-as, for instance, to France-and
then have flown the rest of the dis.
lance. But, however he crossed, he
has evidently managed to get over,
and now the most interesting question
is, What will he do? Some day, prob.
ably. the story Of his passage over the
Atlantic, or under it, or on it, will be
told, and it will find an eager audi.
ence.

The Hut and Inauguration.

1t is announced that Liberty Hut
the beginning Of the new year, may
be permitted to remain for a short
time longer, as it is thought it will
serve a good purpose in connection
suggested that it may effectively; be
occupied as headquarters for visiting
organizations. Being near the Union
station, it will be convenient of ac.
cess and can probably be used as a
clearing house Of information. Expert.
ence in the past has shown the need
of such a place in a central location,
where incomers can be directed to
possible guidance for finding friends
and otherwise making the most of
their limited time at the capital. When
the crowds descend upon the city for
within forty-eight hours-much con-
fusion is likely to prevail. Most of
the people who come here plan to re-
main not more than forty-eight hours,
and they wish to see everything that
is possible and to meet everybody they
can find within that time. most of
which is taken up by the inaugura-
ton ceremonies themselves. Liberty
Hut can therefore serve admirably
as point of direction and guidance,
and although it is desirable to clear
it away quickly, now that its main
use has ceased, 1t is well to hold it a
little while, until the city has held its
big quadrennial party.

The Mississippi Senatorship.

Will Mr.. Vardaman be able to come
back? He is to try his fortunes next
year, when a successor to Senator
Williams will be chosen.
The race will be the more interest
ing-indeed, will derive its chief in.
|terest-from the fact that Mr.. Varda.
man lost his seat in the Senate
through the disfavor Of the President
Mr.. Wilson had not .cottoned to him
nor he to Mr.. Wilson. So that when
Mr.. Vardaman offered for reelection
the friends of the administration turn.
ed away from him, and Representa-
tive Harrison, who was solid at the
White House, won the prize.
At that time Mr.. Wilson's disfavor
counted heavily with his party. In the
neighboring state of Georgia Senator
Hardwick was another victim. He had
FLASHED with the President, and lost
out when he offered for reelection
But last year he came back in a race
for governor, and will soon assume
the duties of that office. The Presi.
dents influence in Georgia had de-
clined.
Not unlikely, Mr.. Hardwicks sue.
cess has encouraged Mr.. Vardaman,

\ Mr.: yardannan entered the Senate
as the opponent Of the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the Constitu.
ton. and with the declared purpose of
striving for their repeal. But he &C.
|complished nothing. Neither Congress
nor the country was interested. and
the world war coming on attention
became fixed on that.
It is not to be supposed that Mr..
Vardaman will rest his case solely on
|sympathy-on his defeat by the Presi.
dent, whose administration has since
been signally repudiated at the polls.
But he has not as yet announced his

Precocious Children, as Difficult
Problem for Educators
as Backward Ones.

tioHfs He has pointed out that
results Of recent studies now
make it possible to deal with the
education of these children much
more wisely than heretofore.
The proposed bureau, according
to Mr.. ,Claxton, should be enabled
to bring the results effectively to
the Alteration of school officers and
to assist them properly in educa-
tional programs and applying
them in their daily school work.
He believes that it also should be
enabled to promote the continual
ton of studies of this kind.
+ r
The commissioner of education
also is OF the opinion that more
adequate provision should be
made in the schools for the teach
ing Of health, the promotion Of
hygiene and the physical educa-
ton and development Of pupils.
More than 100000 children
in the country" he said, spend
good part of their time each
year in public and private schools.
They come to these schools that
they may gain preparation and
strength for life. In many of
these schools the heating, light
ing, ventilation and other means
of sanitation are so poor that. in
stead Of gaining strength for life.
they have the seeds Of disease and
death sown in their systems. In
many other schools the children
lose a very large per cent of that
which they might gain with bet
ter regimen. From state, county
and city officers. in all parts of the
country thousands of requests
come to the bureau for fnforma-
ton and advice in regard to these
matters"
1.-The establishment of health
and right health habits. and the
best types of physical education"
continued Mr.. Claxton, must be
considered most important and
vital factors in any education that
is fit for life. Proper instruction
in health and provision for such
games, plays, drills and other ex-
ercises as will develop physical
strength. bodily control and en-
durance are essential to the
schools of any nation that would
maintain for all its citizens a
high degree of preparedness for
the duties both of peace and war;"

POLITICS AT HOME
A Tale of Patronage.

One of Senator News constituents
files through the senator his applica-
ton for a piece Of pie:
II should like good job. say reg
lister of the Treasury, or the land Of
fice. or minister to Haiti. But if those
places. are impossible please make
me guide or a policeman. If you
think of something nice and remuner-
alive. please drop me a line"
History repea - itself. 1t was an
Indianan who at the beginning Of the
second Cleveland administration APP
piled to the late Senator Voorhees, for
a place under government, and gave
the senator a wide margin of selection.
Something with a good salary attach
ed would do. Would accept a diplo-
matte appointment if necessary, but
would prefer to remain in the country.
1.-THE republic is opportunity" he said
in his letter.
Presently he came on to see how
things were working. He introduced
himself to Mr.. Voorhees, as having at
one time been a county judge at home,
but had failed of reelection through
the ffckleness of public favor.
The senator looked him over, took
his measure and number, told him
automatically that all the foreign
posts had been filled, and nearly all
the best home posts; that the best
place on his list was a messengers
place in one Of the departments, men,
tioning it. That would do, the man
said, and grabbed it.
A short time afterward Mr.. Voor-
hees and a friend were walking
through corridor in that department,
and met the messenger drawing a
small truck loaded with books and
documents. At a safe distance the
senator. pointing to the messenger,
told his friend the story Of the quest
and the appointment. I'VE have a
great country. The republic is op-
portunity. A county judge in In
diana, a horse in Washington"
