No meeting was held by the Boy
Scouts last week on account of the

the minstrel show on the regular
meeting night AS many of the boys
were busy preparing for various
Christmas programs, it was felt that
a meeting on another night could be
dispensed with, but next Wednesday,
Oh, boy there are going to be some
proud boys in new scout suits.
The scout window display at Bah
bits was quite a success judging
from the favorable comments heard
about town. In the next display it is
hoped that there will be more of the
boys handwork available.
A number of men past the scouting
age have said that one of their great
est ambitions when boy was to be-
come a scout, but because of not
being where there was troop, they
never had an opportunity to join the
organization. This is no longer an
obstacle for any boy of eligible age
may become a member. If he be so
situated that he cannot attend meet
ings of a troop, he may become
pioneer scout.

here today from County Engineer
West stating that the dixie built to
protect Holbrook from the ravages
of the Little Colorado is turning the
flow of the stream and that Holbrook
is in no danger whatever. Informa-
ton was received from that town this
afternoon that the river had risen
two feet during the day as result
of the large volume of water pouring
into it from Silver Greek, but that the
crest of the food had passed and that
the Little Colorado was receding at
that point.
The river still continued to rise at
the bridge east of town yesterday
evening from the large volume of
water pouring into it from Chevalon
and Clear Creeks. At five o'clock
yesterday afternoon Clear Creek had
subsided more than ten feet. With the
tributary streams rapidly receding
the Little Colorado should return to
its normal flow. within the next few
days unless the warm rains continue.
Several wild reports were circulat
ed about town yesterday that the
pumps at Clear Greek were inundat-
ed to depth of six feet and that a
f1fteen-foot wall of water was racing
down the canyon on top of the S5-
foot flood.
Officials of the Santa Fe engineer
ing department last night stated that
high water at it's crest was a good
many feet from the pumps and that
the Creek was rapidly subsiding in
stead of rising.
Up to a late hour last night the

He never f1irts with pretty girls;

In fact, he's really awful nice,
Immune from every sin and vice.
Perhaps some day he'll change his

GERMANY SEEKS PEACE

Other Plans For Cancellation Are
FrOwned Upon

BERLIN. April S.-Germany is will
ing to. enter a reciprocal security
treaty with France. but believes the
question of peace in Europe can only
be solved by an international confer

of State Hughes.
This attitude of the 1atherland was
expressed in the Vossiche Zeitung
Sunday by DR.. Gustav Stressemann,
chairman of the Reichstag foreign re-
'lations committee.
Louis Loucheur's schemes, detailed
in London, are woefully inadequate
for solution of the international
question. Stressemann said, for they
make no provision for ending the
present feeling a hostility that may
lead to war
Securities for France are so nu-
merous in the Versailles treaty that
one can scarcely imagine more inten-
sive guarantees" Stressemann wrote
but if France desires to enter re-
guaranteeing securities for boun-
daries both parties of the German
government are agreeable. The pro-
posal Germany made to France
through the United States proves
this"
Standardization and international
ization of athe Rhineland will not
solve the situation, according to
Stressemann, because the actions OF
the Rhineland and Saar commissions
have made Germans distrust such
