SNEWS AND NOTES OF THE BOY SCOUTS^
PROSPECTS FOR
SCOUT CAMPS
Ever>- Troop in City to Have
Opportunity For Ten Days
in the Open
Arrangements are just being com
pleted for the establishment of a
Community camp for all the Scouts
of Harrisburg. This means that
every troop in the city, whether
possessing equipment or not will
have the opportunity of spending ten
days or two weeks under canvas.
This has been made possible by
the generosity of a friend of the
Scout movement in giving the free
use of over a hundred acres on the
south side of the mountain north of
Enola, with permission to erect
cabins, and shacks out of the lumber
there. As soon as all the details
are arranged, a complete announce
ment will be made, and headquarters
feels sure t,hat there will be joy in
the heart of every Scout in the city
and vicinity.
A casual inspection of the tract
has already been made, and it is
ideal for the purpose. On Monday
a final inspection will be m'ade and
at that time it is hoped that arrange
ments will be completed to purchase
the necessary tents and equipment
that goes to make up a real camp.
The tract will be for the Scouts to
use both summer and winter, and it
is only two and a half miles from the
loop of the street cars in Enola.
Watch for the full announcement
next week.

FRIDAY EVENING,
Examinations
The first general examination for Second Class Scout
rank will be held at headquarters on Thursday evening,
June 20, at 7,30.
All Scouts who wish to take this examination will apply
to their Scoutmasters for permission. The Scoutmasters
have the proper blanks entitled "Certificate of Fitness For
Second Class Examination." These must be filled out and
returned before a Scout can take the tests. All troops also
have a set of standard requirements. The examination is
not difficult. Come on. Scouts, there are only 96 second
class in the city, and 375 Tenderfeet. Let us wake up on
Scout craft.
Great Preparations For
Troop Seven's Concert
Great preparations are being made
to omake the concert of Troop Seven
a success. The orchestra under the
leadership of W. L. Bailey, assistant
scoutmaster, is showing up in great
style. Thf rehearsals show the musi
cians of the troop. The Goldstein
trio will be the feature of the even-
ing.
To add much to the concert the
male quarter and H. A. Bailey,
secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at York,
humorous reader and impersonator,
will be on the program.
The concert will be held In the
Fahnestock Hall in the Y. M. C. A.
building next Tuesday evening at
eight o'clock. The benefit is for the
annual camp fund.
A two-day hike is being arranged
for the troop next week.
Many of the Scouts will assist In
doing their bit In the farming dis
trict during the summer season. Paul
Schwartz left on Monday to take
an agricultural course at State Col
lege. Paul believes in the motto
"Every Scout to feed a soldier."
It is very important that every
Scout report his financial work $t
the troop meeting this evening.
A First Aid corps has been ar
ranged consisting of Carl Gingrich,
senior patrol leader, Paul Strine,
Jacob Stacks and Charles Keller.
They will have a part on the pro
gram on a first aid demonstration.
The camp bee is buzzing pretty
loud among the scouts. Recollec
tions of last years' camp pervade
the minds of the Scouts.
GEORGE REINOEHL.
CHANGE OF HEADQUARTERS
It is a source of great gratification
that local headquarters now occupies
larger offices in the Calder building.
It will now be possible to have all
meetings of scoutmasters and scout
leaders in properly equipped rooms.
Remember, scouts, rooms 206 and
207 are always open to you.
"A Miracle" Cries
Henry Schuessler
Harrisburg Man So Regards His Re
markable Recovery of
Health
GIVES CREDIT TO TAN LAC
"I regard my recovery as nothing
short of a miracle," exclaims Henry
G. Schuessler, an expert toolmaker,
of 99 North Seventeenth street, Har
risburg, Pa.
"I had been troubled for a long
time with constipation and rheu
matic gout.
"I finally determined to try Tanlac.
Now I date my recovery from that
day, for I am now free from all my
ailments.
"My bowels are regular, my head
aches are gone, my ♦ stomach has
been so strengthened that it digests
my food without trouble. But what
delights me most is that my feet no
longer bother me. The pain and
swelling have gone and I am able to
be up and about my work. Tanlac
certainly has done wonders for me
and I will never forget it."
Tanlac is now being introduced
here by Gorgas' Drug Store.

Troop Six Is Busy Unit
With Much Work Ahead
"Busy" is the pass word at Troop
Six. Along with studying for sec
ond class examinations, preparing
a program for oi*r musicale, arrang
ing our handcraft exhibit and train
ing for our next track event, the
baseball team has found time to reg
ister one victory and one defeat.
The team has not met a Scout
team as yet but have Troop Eight
on schedule for to-night at the H.
A. C. diamond. Our two games have
been with teams with a much older
lineup and lots of practice. Never
theless our fellows have put up a
snappy article of baseball and are
in the field for the Scout champlon-
| ship.
The entertainment on June 25th
promises to be an interesting affair.
Scoutmaster Jenkins of Troop Eight
has agreed to lead the singing with
true style and pep. A number of
readings, musical numbers, scout
craft demonstrations, a talk by Scout
Executive Virgin and a fire making
demonstration by Assistant Scout
master Sparrow are some of the high
spots in the program.
The handcraft exhibit in connec- 1
tion with the Susquehannock Camp
Fire Girls promises to be well worth 1
while. Hundreds of entries are in
the hands of Sparrow who is di
recting the affair. Some of the
articles are basket work, bead work,
knitted articles, bird houses, knife
cases, desk files, tin curs, articles of
furniture, specimens of Indlan
crafl, and exhibits of literary work
done by the Scouts and Camp Fire
girls.
Wigwam Inn is the name given to
the space which will be allotted to
the hungry or thirsty ones present
and the atmosphere of rest and hos
patality suggested by the title will
hold forth an open invitation.

SCOUTMASTER
WITH THE TANKS
Troop Eight Congratulated
On Its Work During
the Spring
The former scoutmaster of Troop
eight, William J. Shader, has en
listed in the Tank corps. Scout
master Shader has been interested
in boys' work for many years. In
his younger days he was a member
o ftho "United Boys' Brigade of
America." He was nn active mem
ber of the Y. M. C. A. until called
away for other duties. He was a
star pluyer on the "Old Hill Tiger"
football team. Mr. Shader was in
the army until after the Mexican
borAer trouble when he was dis
charged. He immediately came to
Harrisburg and aftei; a little rest be
came interested in scouting. The
boys are all sorry to lose him; and
we all wish him the best of success.
The meeting on Monday evening was
opened by a song service. This was
followed by a talk on the scout laws
by the chaplain. The chaplain then
lead us in prayer. Our regular rou
tine of business was followed. After
this Mr. Jenkins introduced "Shorty"
Miller who was an old school chum
of his to the scouts. "Shorty" rnre
was given a hearty welcome by the
scouts. This shows that he must
have been know.ii by most of them
before. He gave a tine talk on the
advantages of scouting and also
dweltfon other subjects of import
ance. If the scouts of the troop took
to heart what "Shorty" told them
It will surely do them some good.
Mr. Vlrgip was next Introduced.
This is Mr. Virgin's second visit to
the troop. He congratulated Mr.
Jenkins on the work the troop has
done; and urged more work, if pos
sible. Mr. Jenkins promised that
every candidate of the troop would
be a tender-foot scout inside of a
month and although our month is
not up yet: we are about ready to
go "Over The Top."
A game was announced as being
scheduled for this Friday evening on
the Island. The troop baseball team
is out for honors in this line of sport
and are to tackle the supposed best
in town, Troop 6. The members of
Troop eight's baseball team expect
to pull off a surprise or two.
The track prospects were given
a shove forward by the results of
the gratnmar-meet. Walters, Burch
fleld, McLinn and Potter are all
members of the troop. At the meet
ing on Monday evening we had Paul
Wright of Troop 21 with us. At the
conclusion of the meeting. Mr. Jen
kins, Virgin Haehnlen, Paul Wright
and Assistant Scoutmaster Shader
gave Examinations to the scouts.
Another new member was ad
mitted to the troop by transfer from
one of the troops of the city.' He
has been high in scouting and ath
letics of Harrisburg. This person is
Haehnlen, lat of Troop 6.
The boys are working hard on the
black-walnut survey and are getting
along fine.
Camping was discussed at the
meeting on Monday evening and a
date was set. We leave July 6 for
an ideal camping spot.

FLYING WITH SHAFFER
RHEIMS ABLAZE
LETT KRS FROM A DAUPHIN BOY TO HIS MOTHER
Dear Mother: —Once again I arij
at a loss for words to describe the
novel sights I beheld yesterday night.
One sees so much; and unfortunately
my vocabulary throws up its hands
in dismay when I attempt to put it
on paper. Down near the Argonne
forest were three long trails of
i<moke, and since I could see no Are
1 supposed it was a gas attack, as
the wind was blowing in the right
direction to blow it on the French.
On the other side of Rheims the
Mine thick lines of smoke streaming
over the trenches could be seen, only
more of it.
So you can imagine my surprise
w hen I learned from a Frenchman
that gas had no color at all. Learn
ing that, I wanted to know how they
knew it was coming. They didn't he
informed me, until they smelled it,
and then it was on with the gas
masks "tout de suite."
Speaking of gas masks, in Challons
to-day, I noticed that the women
carried gas masks swinging from
their shoulcfers. I don't know what
the idea was, unless they were talk
ing too much. Then, again, the
Boches might drop some gas bombs
for the moon is beginning to rise
early and bright now and, like a lov
er, the Boches become more ardent.
Rheims Ablaze
To come back to the bunch of
smoke I saw along the lines. I still
don't know the cause thereof, unless
it came from continuous artillery
fire. However, as I flew high over
Rheirns I noticed it was afire in half
a dozen places. The Boches must
be shelling it something tierce again,
for passing over it many times as I
flew during the last few days, I al
ways noticed smoke arising from
different points.
it's quite a city, you know, and rather
nicely laid out, but the shells are
sure changing the geography con
siderably. As for the famous cathe
dral. the spires still stick up in the
air, and from what I could see from
my position on high, there is still
considerable of it to knock over yet.
On the Boche side of the lines
opposite Rheims the country is very

flat and treeless, so the small towns
are very conspicuous—what there is
of them—which look more like brick
yards than anything else. Inciden
tally, there is a German balloon situ
ated near Rheims which sure is some
temptation to attack. I have tried
my gun on that balloon several times,
but not having incendiary bullets,
they had no effect. You know, we
always try our guns when we get to
the lines to see if they are working,
and the way 1 figure one might as
well shoot at some particular object
if one shoots at all. You would be
surprised how delicate these machine
guns are, and how sensitive they are
to temperature.
Honestly, .they are as changeable
as & woman, one never knows what
they will do next. One day you will
try it and she works without a hitch,
then you think, "Well, she works
fine, why try it next day," and then
several days later you push the trig
ger again—and one lonely cartridge
explodes, then silence. You tlx it
again, press the trigger and one
more lone shot goes off. After fixing
the gun fifteen or twenty times this
way, one is liable to forget his Sun
day school training. A machine
gun caft't be hurried, neither can it
l>e jammed by getting excited, since
it is loaded before one goes oft the
ground and all that Is necessary is
to press the trigger.
The Story
Just an instance to show how de
feat or victory rests on such small
things. The story goes that a Boche
came over the lines one day and
shot down three French balloons in
a row. Two Spads—French planes—
being in the vicinity, dived to the
attack. The soldiers in the trenches,
being interested spectators to this
fight, were delighted to see the Spads
catching the Boche. and felt sure
the Boche would bg brought down,
.when they were plumb disgusted to
see both Spads veer oft and go home.
Immediately they called the French
pilots cowards. And yet the fact of
the matter was that one Spad's gun
would not work and the other one's
motor went on the blink, and there
you are.
So one shoffld not judge an aviator
too harshly as little things like the
above the man on the ground does
not know of. and without a good mo
tr and machine gun it's impossible
TI'NK 14, 19T5.
to fight. One cannot shoot and
neither can he depend on his motor,
and since the motor Is the only thing
that keeps him afloat, it's mighty im
portant that it run perfectly.
Last night wo astually had moving
pictures, the theater being an empty
haqgar (tent for airplanes) and the
light for the moving picture machine
furnisUed by an electric motor run
In turn by the motor of a truck.
There WHS no admission fee —after
seeing the picture I don't wonder—
, so they played to a crowded house.
!Of course there were no seats, so
overyone brought his own chair. In
cidentally, there was every,type and
! pattern of chair that the ingenlus
mind of man could devise. Several
fellows not having chairs, brought
sfcep ladders, which certainly insured
their seeing everything. If we ex
pected to see a Charlie Chaplin wo
were disappointed, for the only

I U-Boat Commander Boasts
| of Prowess of Raider in
Warfare on Ocean Coast
Now York, June 14.—1n describing'
his encounter with the German sub-j
marine raider last Monday when lilsj
the Henrik Lund, was
sunk, Captain Axel Kaltenborn said j
yesterday that he spent two hours j
on the U-boat in the cabin talking
with the commander.
Captain Kaltenborn had ample
time to observe the deck and the in
terior of the submarine, so far as he
was permitted to go, and said she
was fully 250 feet long, 25 feet beam,
and carried two six-inch guns, one at
each end.
"The German coniKiander who
spoke perfect Erjglish," Captain Kal
tenborn said, "appeared to be very
proud of his craft, and said that she
could dive in twenty-eight seconds.
He also told me that he had been
away from Germany for two months
and could stay out for another six
months, but the latter statement I
do not believe.
"The cabin was comfortably fit
ted, and there was plenty of food and
drinks of all kinds.
"Pointing to a registry of shipping
on the table, the commander said
with a smile, 'That is my Bible,' and
showed where he had crossed out
the names of the vessels that had
been sunk by the U-boat on her
cruise. He mentioned the two Nor
wegian steamships Vinland and Elds
j wold, and also admitted sinking
| American ships, but did not give
jme the names. The commander was
polite in his manner all the tlmo
was on board and said that he was'
sorry to have to sink my ship. 'War'
is war, and I must carry out my",
duty,' he said."
