Tents were pitched at one of the National Camping Grounds for . two day period. Early Saturday morning, under a clear sky, the young climb CTS, packs on their backs, ready for any emergency, followed the Tuck erman Ravine Trail and reached the top after 8 four-aour hike through thick pines and over rocky cliffs. Both the journey up and down provided the boys with thrills and were packed with colorful scenes of waterfalls and deep ra- vines.
 The facilities for transportation for which the boys are very grate- ful, were provided for by Joseph Tamburini, MT. Delage and Ubald Desaulniers who acted as guests o1 the boys on the trip. The scouts to participate in the climb were as follows: Troop scribe: Rene Drolet senior patrol leads Victor Schael and Lionel Moreau; patrol lead.

 REPORTERS TEST
 ENLISTMENT RULING
 Then down came this late decision from the War Department:
 "Men of the draft age do not have to wait until they register on October 16 next. They can go right to an army recruiting station and enlist for one years training"
 This bureau began to put out that news. And the first thing we knew, we got an indignant letter from a man in New York City who wanted to know How come?"
 He said he went to a recruiting office in New York City and was told they were only taking men for the full three years regular army enlistment. Next day the Washing ton Daily News sent out two re- porters, who made a bluff at en- listing for the one years training In both cases III Washington itself they were turre ed down. Or, at least the sergeants told them to comt back later.
 When I made inquiry at the Wa Department, the reply was:
 'The order as to this only wen forth on Saturday, September 28. I takes some time for such an orde to percolate down to the men il the recruiting offices" COMMISSION TRAINING WILL BE GlN EN
 Here's another example:
 Many men wrote in seeking if ther was any chance for draftees to tr- for commissions. The bureau wa advised to say that under presen conditions, it was hardly likely. s that answer was sent out.

 Just what other changes in cor1- ditions the army will make between now and October 16, the army alone knows. The best this bureau can do is to answer questions as nearly up-to-date in fact as the changing rules allow.

Maybe It's Russia

The entry of Italian ~warplanes into the at
tack on England seems to indicate a change
in Axis strategy. 1t is possible, of course, that
Hitler has in mind a definite place in the Of
fensive for his Axis partner, Mussolini. 1t
may be, too, that it is necessary to give the
Italian people some sort of tonic to revive
their spirits and induce them to look upon
this war as something they should become in
terested in, rather than apathetic towards.
But it is more likely that the underlying mo-
tive for the participation of Italian airmen in
the channel drive is the necessity of doing
something different than was planned in the
Bremen Pass conference.
At that historic meeting it was decided to
drive jointly on the British in the Mediter-
ranean area. That is, recent events have JUS
titled this conclusion. The seizure of Ru-
mania, the agreements with Hungary, tn e
threat against the Turks, the Greeks and the
Dardanelles, all of which quickly followed the
Bremen session, indicated that the Axis STRAIT
egg would be to concentrate in a winter cam
paign to drive the British out of the Mediter-
ranean and cut the Suez canal. The overtures
to Spain, even the present pressure on France,
dovetail with such a plan. Now, it begins to
look as if this undertaking may be subservi-
ated to a revised scheme of action with chief
attention given again to the direct assault upon
England.
If this is the program, it invites the belief
that something upon which the Fuehrer and II
Duce counted for success in their Mediterran-
can venture has failed to materialize. There is
no way of knowing if this is true or even what
the something might be. But one thing that
could have failed to happen is support from
Russia, or if not actual support, then quies-
cence in Moscow.
Hitler and Mussolini must have thought that
their silent partner, Josef Stain, would allow
them to go ahead with their plans to over
run Greece and Turkey, take over the OAR
danelles, and direct their drive on Egypt from
bases in that area. Else they would hardly
have gone so far in the Balkans. The fact that
their activities there are not being advanced
and Mussolini has planes aloft over England
at least suggest that Stain has given Berlin
and Rome to understand that any approach
to the Dardanelles will bring Russian military
opposition.

If Dowse, the former lightkeeper, is still
where Kipling left him, running a wherry
from Portsmouth to Gosport where the tides
run crossways," he will be interested in news
from Penang. That island, off the Malay Pen
insula, is a storage depot and loading station
for oil, and is important to British defense in
the Far East. Normally, beacons mark en-
trance to the harbor. The Navy Department
in Washington notifies mariners that these
have been temporarily extinguished, thereby
making it difficult for unwelcome visitors to
arrive by night. Dowse formerly was custodian
OF a screwpile light in Flores Strait, with Chal-
long, an Orang-Laut. or sea gypsy, as sole
companion. Challong's English vocabulary con-
sisted OF the one word, damn" which, while
appropriate to many occasions, sharply limit
ed conversation. The lightkeeper from sheer
monotony, took to staring at the strait, through
cracks in his platform, with the result that
tides began to run in his head.

be dedicated to the task of making America
safe. During that year American industry will
be busy im%plementing the armed forces OF
the United States, on land, at sea and in the
air, that the men whose numbers will 90 up

army, the navy, the National Guard, the cir
against any foe.
Why is this great effort being made? Why
do we want to be strong? Bishop James H.
Ryan of Omaha, among many others who
have answered these questions, told a ban
.quet audience in Sioux City recently why he
holds America dear. What does America
mean to me?" he asked, and added: Here I
am free as 1 would be in no other count, y
on this earth. I have political freedom and
few outside America have that. I nave re-
ligious freedom, and fewer still possess that.
IL the width and breadth of continental Eu-
rope there is neither political nor religious
freedom. In fact the Individual is X X d
Ground as one would kick a football"
Then with tributes to the freedom of the
press, of assembly and Of education, the bish-
OPP added: I'VE have become so accustomed
to the fundamental freedoms, so casual in onr
appreciation of them, that we find 1t difficult
to evaluate them at their true and lasting
worth really what it is to be a free man.
Vet, without these very freedoms which we
enjoy as a matter of course, life is scarcely
worth living"
He close his stirring address thus: God
bless our America! God keep her true to her
democratic faith, strong in her resolves. high
in hope, toundless in love. To her, our country,
we pledge renewed allegiance. For her we
live, for he we struggle, and for her, if the
hour comes, we are ready to lay down our
lives"
There is in these words something that DE-.
serves reveIent adoption, not alone by the tn:
formed rarks of Americas armed forces in
all branches, but by every person who is at
last awakening to the value of the fundamental
freedoms We have all long enjoyed as a mat

of various kinds which were bought in greater
quantities than in peacetime.
There are two obvious reasons why Ameri-
can aid to Britain from Sept. l., 1889 to Aug.
l, 1910, was not larger and more effective.
The first is that the British bought slowly and
economically in small quantities up to the in
vasion of the Low Countries in May. It was
not until then that the government in London
fully realized its desperate need. The second
is that American industry was not equipped to
fill the large orders when they came; aircraft
factories had to be erected before the thou
sands of planes asked for could be delivered.
If we take the figures for the end of the
period alone, however, they tell a different
story. In August 278 American airplanes were
sent to Britain, more than a third of our ex-
ports of this sort for the entire year. Each
month now shows mounting quantities shipped
abroad. If Britain stands firm, as we hone
she will, the mex IL months will show a very
different picture of the support which Ameri-
can industry has supplied to the defense of
England.

Aid To Britain

British purchases in the United States dur
ing the first IL months of the war have turned
out to have been surprisingly small. The $780,
DOC, 900 total for this trade, announced by
Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones, is i'm
pressive enough. But an examination of the
individual items of the list shows that the
aid that Britain received from the United
States during that period could not have been
a major factor in her defense.
During the entire year, for instance, only
'4S American planes Of all types were shipped
abroad That is less than one-quarter of the
estimated Nazi production for a single month
scarcely enough to bring the British much
closer to equality in the air. Only $ss, 1893, 600 of
the total was for, arms Of all sorts. The great
majority Of the trade was in such commod;.

Let's Have The Facts

Americans will do well to preserve an atti-
tude of skepticism toward reports from Tokyo
that a move is on foot to bring the war with
China to a peaceful conclusion. It is better not
to count on a change in the japanese attitude
until there are concrete proofs of it's existence.
The same comment applies to rumors that
the Berlin ome-Tokyo pact contains secret
escape clauses that would make it possible
for Japan to decline to come to the aid of
volved in war with a power now at peace,
which means the United States. Until we have
something tangible to go on, we cannot ig-
more the fact that Japan is publicly committed
to attack the United States in the event of
war with Germany and Italy.
It is possible, even probable, that such es-
cape clauses were written into the treaty. If
Japan is bound in the way the pact seems to
indicate, then she entered a deal that is of
small advantage to her, certainly just now,
and OF great value to the Axis partners. So
it could well be that the bargain had GER
tain understandings attached to it for the
purpose of restoring the balance.
Nor need we doubt that the japanese would
like to make peace with China, providing they
could get what they consider to be reasonable
terms. That war has dragged on for more than
three years. 1t has laid a tremendous burden
on the japanese people. The hoped-for profits
have not been realized. Peace, a suitable
peace, would be welcome.
But it does not appear that Japan is ready
to offer terms the Chinese can or will accept
Until they do, there is no reason for the United
States to change its policy-any more thar
there is good reason for the Americans to be
heve that the three-power pact does not NEAR
what it says it means.
