All patrol leaders and assistants are expected to attend the meeting's which will start next Thursday evening at 7 o'clock. On Saturday, if the weather Is fair, the bicycle division of Troop 13 will ride to Camp Boyd on the Juniata, twenty-two miles from Harrisburg. This is the first trip by wheel that the troop has undertaken. The ob ject Is to place the camp In pood condition for the scoutmasters' con ference in May. All the scouts of Troop 13 are re quested to appear in uniform at the troop headquarters before 7 o'clock this evening. The object is to be present at the Grace Methodist i Church for the presentation of war medals to scouts. Four scouts of Troop 13 will receive medals. In the Second Liberty Loan cam paign Troop 13 took four medals. In this drive the scouts have made up their minds to do twice this good, notwithstanding the handicap under which "will start. Troop 13's meetings are getting more interesting each week. The meetings are in charge of various pa trol leaders. Special periods are taken in each meeting for instruction in scouting as the troop has decided to register only second-class scouts. Scouts are progressing in map-mak ing. Senior Patrol Leader Hagar and Assistant Patrol Leader Bayles have turned in their maps. The map work consists of plotting roads, streams and houses with the use of the compass and pacing the distance along the roads. Kach scout Is re quired to complete his traverse line. FENSTEMACHER.

TYSON, Scribed For the Futur Voltaire and Frederick the Great were warm friends. Voltaire, the great Frenchman, was the exponent or what we might call "socialism" and Frederick the Great was the au thor of the salient points In Ger mcny'd present-day n-ilitary system. It was Frederick's avowed Intention to cultivate Voltaire's friendship and develop a happy medium between what wo would stvta autocracy and democracy. The two worked hap pily on their plan f.nd splendid progress was made. T'hen. a quar rel, nnd the system was never com pleted. But there has been a last ing result of that quarrel the world is drenched in blood and thousands ar-; dying: every day. VoUaire led his lorces of democracy ar.d Fred eiick led his armies of autocracy. There were two esnanding forces op posing each other. Each was ex panding eo rapidly that finally there was no room for both. Out of a petty Imbroglio in a small European state has sprung this war. The fountain was obscure. Dut the stream has flooded the world. Boy Scouts are intensely eager to dam this stream; to bring up tne necessary materials. So they,ha\e put their hearts behind their dol lars and given, at a sacrifice, to the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and the Liberty Loan. More than that, they have rendered invaluable service to the Government at many times dur ing the past year by distribution of literature in behalf of various Gov ernment propagandas. Now that the Tn rd Liberty Loan campaign is tn full swajv # Boy Scouts have again volunteered for service. Their plan is to f-ell Lib em Bonds at every opportunity, to put the heart behind the dollar and to win other dollars with that heart. In the words of Elbert Hubbard, "I am busy and I have but two hands! But they'll be busy, tool" So the Boy Scout is ready to meet the situation. He has already made record sales of Thrift Stamps, and HARRISBtJRG TELEGRAPH! now he Is going to make record sales of Liberty Bonds. A little Lib erty Bell button will be pinned on every Harrisburg coat lapel—lf Boy Scouts can possibly help it! Their hearts aro willing, their hands are ready, and they WILL sell Bonds! If you haven't bought your full allotment of Liberty Bonds, "use the Bell" and call 3631-J. Tell the an swering man that a scout may take your application for a Liberty Bond, for the sake of future scouts! Scouts to Attend Big Patriotic Rally Tonight There will be a patriotic rally to night at the Grace Methodist Church, attended by all the Boy Scouts in the city. At this meeting medals won by scouts in the Second Liberty Loan will be presented by Postmaster Sites. Preparations will be made for the Boy Scout Liberty Loan drive on Saturday. The scouts will appear in the role of gleaners, cleaning out the spots missed in the main drive. Dr. Herbert King will make the address of the evening. Scoutmaster Mitchell, of Troop 19. addressed the troop last Friday on "Doing Your Bit For the Third Lib erty Loan." The talk contained many things of vast interest to the scouts. A new patrol was formed, named Beaver. The officers will be Charles Yetter, patrol leader; Rus sell Heckmen, assistant patrol lead er, and John Krelder, patrol scribe. Troop 19 will not likely be repre sented on the diamond this year, as most of the games would have to be played on Saturday afternoons and the scouts decided they would rather take hikes on that day. Ijist Saturday a hike was taken in the rain to Good Hope Mills, along 'the Conodoguinet. The scouts enjoyed the hike in spite of the weather. The camping- committee of the troop met last Friday in the scout room before the meeting and sever al Important things were discussed. The scouts will probably hold a camp the first two weeks of July in the Rockvllle mountains. Expenses of the camp will be furnished in this manner; For every $1 the Boy Scouts collect the Grace Methodist Church will match it with another. Therefore, the scouts are planning to raise nearly JSO, which will amount to SIOO with the church money. ' The scouts are all vastly interested in the camp and it is safe to say that a good time is in store for all the members of Troop 19. John C. Koch. Scout Scribe. HIKE SCHEDULED FOR TROOP 2 IS POSTPONED A very interesting and busy meet ing was held Monday, April 22, by Troop 2 at the Y. M. H. A. rooms. Though the attendance was small, much spirit and enthusiasm was dis played at the election of a scribe and the incoming of a new mem ber. The hike which was scheduled for Saturday has been postponed to May 4. The next meeting will be held at 7 o'clock Monday evening, April 29, when the proposed hike will be taken up in detail, a large attendance Is expected. BERNARD COHN, Scribe. ROOTERS TOO STRONG FOR THIS CONTEST Troop 21 wishes to get baseball challenges from other teams. The squad is out every Saturday prac ticing. We hope to make a good showing during the season. Last Friday night the troop basketball team played the Boas Street All- Stars. The scoutmaster called the ; game in the second half on account i of> the over-enthusiasm of the root i ors. Boas Street would likely have I been the winners had the game been | finished. A special meeting has been called f„r this Friday to trans -1 act business of an important nature, i All scouts are requested o be pres ent GLENN BOYLES, Scribe. BIG TIME IS PROMT <*ED AT FINE ENTERTAINMENT Led by the "spirits," Troop 8 is ! leaping forth in bounds to win the ! mysterious present. We sure are i Hearing our goal. Last Sunday eve j ning twenty-nine of the fellows at tended the church service. This i sure is working for the present. The meeting on Monday was Interesting | and was the best attended in the ! history of the troop as well as the most successful in transacting bus j inesß. Three new members took the I Scout oath. Two were taken into ! the Tiger patrol and one into the Eagle. Two of the members of the I old Tiger were put Into the new pa | trol which is Just being formed to j make room for two new ones. The i new patrol will be for members of | the troop who work and cannot at tend -the meetings regularly. The I name for the new patrol has not been decided upon as yet. The ! monthly dues have ben doubled to ! boost the treasury. The entertainment for the mem l bers of the troop and the troop com ! mittee will be held Tuesday night, ! April 30, and a good time is expect ed. The entertainment committee I lias arranged a fine program for the : evening.. The members of the troop have j been invited to a marsh mallow ! toast and "moonlight hike by the j girl scouts of the church. Baseball ! practice is going on steadily and the ; team will soon be in the field. A ' meeting of patrol leaders was held Thursday evening to put the finish ing touches on the entertainment probram. All of the fellows have volunteered to bring pictures and pennants to make the scout room cozy and inviting. Scouts don't forget—6:lo Sunday evening. R. FOSTER SHADER, Scout Scribe. Boys Plan to Hustle For the Liberty Loan The scouts of Troop 7 will as semble at the corner of Susquehanna and Harris streets at 7 o'clock sharp to march to the Scout Rally in the • Grace Methodist Church. All scouts will of course be in uniform. This troop will have a 100 per cent, par ticipation in the Liberty Loin cam paign. The popularity of the troop or chestra is shown by the fact that they will play at the rally to-night and at the Y. M. C. A. to-morrow night. These are only a few of the many instances where the services of this live organization have been requested. PATRIOTIC SEHMOW "The- FiVst Liberty Loan Purchas er" will be the subject of an ad dress by Rabbi I>ouis J. Haas, of i Ohev Sholom Temple, to-night. 'Serv ices will .begin at 7.45 o'clock. SERVICE FLAG FOR TROOP SIX Members to Take Hike With Good Quarters for the Niglit During the business meeting of Troop C on Monday night the Sus quehannock Council of Camp Fire Girls presented the troop with a large service flag bearing two stars, one for Assistant Scoutmaster Addi son Armstrong, who is In the Med ical Corps somewhere In France, and the other for Assistant Scoutmaster W. F. Demming, who is also "over there" with the aviation section. Miss Martha Shartzer, president of the Camp Fire Council, paid a glow ing tribute to the young men who volunteered their service to their country and pointed out that this should set an example for service to th#>Scouts who are not old enough to take their place in the trenches but who can aid their government by service at home. To-morrow afternoon about twen ty members of the troop will assem ble at the scout room for an over night hike. • The destination has been kept a secret but comfortable loca tion for the night 16 promised and a good time is in store for those who go along. The track team of the troop Is busy practicing for the Interpatrol meet to be held in the near fviture. Owing to the size and age of the members of the troop It would be unfair to match them against any other single troop, but we are ready to accept challenges from any com bination of two troops. We are also in the field for baseball challenges. On Monday evening the trpop and the Susquehannock Camp Fire Girls will hold a marshmallow toast. This event, postponed from last Monday night, is looked forward to wlUi great interest. Every meeting night for the past three weeks there has been a thor ough semaphore signal drill. Scout master Huntsberger holding each scout In line until he is able to read at sight the letters sent. When the entire troop is proficient in this branch a regular first-aid course will start. International Morse code sig naling will also come in for its turn. Troop 6 is the holder of the signal ing championship and stands ready to defend the title against all scout troops in the city. Following is the list of opponents and scores of the basketball season just ended: Troop Oppon -6 ents.

Troop Fifteen Enjoys Moonlight Hike to Park : The members of Troop No. 15 eiy i joyed a moonlight hike into Wild j wood Park on Monday evening and , had a very delightful time. A marsh- I mallow toast had been planned for the evening, but on account of the j soggy condition of the park this was called off, but even the damp and wet condition of the woods did not pitt a damper on the scouting spirit of the members of Troop No. 15 and they held the hike. Various scouting games were played on the baseball grounds in the lower part of Wild wood Park and then a general trail ing stunt followed. Some of the scouts were successful in camouflag ing their actions that even the scoutmaster and assistants were un able to detect them in the woods. A new stunt was played by several boys who arranged themselves in such a manner as to represent a log on the ground and a person standing a few feet away could scarcely tell it from the real log. When it became too dark to play games the troop assembled in the pavilion near the loop and sang pa triotic songs and told stories about ghosts and spirits until many of the boys thought it best to hunt the lights of the city. The return trip to the city was started at 9.30 and as the boys marched they sang songs of war and were so enthusiastic and patriotic that had they met a "Hun" that night he would have fared badly at their hands. A call system for the entire troop has lately been worked out by whifch the troop can be mobilized in a sttort time and the members have been warned to hold themselves in readi ness for the call for mobilization when it is given. Troop No. 15 has recently purchased a bugle to be the ' property of the troop, the money for which has been raised by the sale of old newspaper and magazines. A special drive to ratse money for a drum is now under way and the Fif teeners expect to go over the top In this drive by the end of the week. The sale of bonds for the Third liberty Loan has been the topic of conversation among the members of the troop ever since it was announced that the scouts would have part in the sjime. Several interesting lec tures concerning the plans for the special scout drive for Liberty Bonds during the wek of April 27 and May 4 have been given by Assistant •Scoutmasters Mehaflfle and Lebo and the majority of the fellows under stand the proposed drive. All mem bers have been cautioned and warned against asking the withholding of subscriptions until the Boy Scout Liberty Loan week and It Is fully believed that each scout has obeyed this order. An overnight hike Is being planned for the entire troop and every mem ber is urged to keep in good stand ing and attend regularly every meet ing so aa to be permitted to attend same.
