10 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.

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. Tanlac is also sold at the Gorgas Drug Store in the P. R. R. Station; in Carlisle at W. G. Stevens' Phar macy; Elizabethlown, Albert W. Cain ; Greenoastlfc, Charles B. Carl; Middletown, Colin S. Few's Phar macy: Waynesboro, Clarence Croft's Pharmacy; Mechanicsburg, H. F. Brunhouse.—Adv. 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. ROY REEL, Scribe. Time of Meeting Is Changed By Troop 12 The meeting night of Troop : Twelve has been changed to Friday | night. At the last meeting we j planned our first hike. • We left the Scout room at the i church about seven o'clock and ' reached the pavilion in Wildwood ! about 7.43. We started a fire and | then went to play baseball while one ! Scfcut 3tayed to watch the fire and [ the eats. We played until dark and ; then struck back to the pavilipn to sleep. About four fellows succeeded in getting any sleep. The others : kept the night alive with Indian like j yells and by throwing things at one | nnother. About four o'clock some i Scouts became so cold that they ! started a fire. We soon had break | fast and started for home so as to ; be In time for church. JESSE MEADATH. Scribe.

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. A combined musical entertainment j and moving picture show will be i held "on Friday evening June 21, at i the Shimmell schoolbuilding at 8 | o'clock. Admission will be by tioket ; this timo. R.

Pershing Adopts Two War Orphans of France June 14.-—Buried away in j this week's issue of the Stars and | Stripes, the organ of the American 1 Expeditionary Force, there is a sin gle line revealing that in the middle ! of the world's gretaset battle Gen eral Pershing has found time to : adopt two French war orphans. ; While no details could be learned I at headquarters of the publication, it will be remembered that the Amer ican commander-in-chief lost his two little children, a T>oy and a girj, in a fire not long ago. Former Tire Man Returns to Camp After Furlough V. W. MARKER After spending a five-day furlough at hla home here with his wife, Mrs. V. W. Marker, of 245 South Cameron street, has returned-to Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va. Mr. Marker, who is well known among automobile men of this city, having been connected for some time with the Overland Harrisburg Company, and later as local representative of the Sterling Tire Corporation, enlisted in the serv ice last April He is now in the Eighth Training Battalion of the Medical Cbrps and expects soon to get Into active service "Over Ther." * 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.

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 | American picture was certainly a islander on American art, being prob ably the tirst movie made. Still, the i novelty of the thins made It inter esting. WALTER. 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."
