BOY SCOUT NEWS The local organization of Boy Scouts was launched in March, 1915 with the formation of a local council consisting of twentf representative men. A. F. Corbin president of the Union Manufacturing Co., was chosen president of the organization and Stanley Sheldon was selected as Scout Commissioner. The members of the council are as follows: A. F. Corbin, Louis P. Slade, Judge James T. Meskill, Major Frank I. Wilcox, Stanley Sheldon, Frank G. Vibberts, Ernest W. Pelton, B. M. Wightman, W. C. French, J. B. Com- stock, George H. Dyson, C. H. Efirnes, Stanley H. Holmes, F. A. B. Forrest, Howard L. Platt, E. J. Skinner, Henry Hoar and Rev. E. T. Thienes. The officers and members of council have worked faithfully have put the local organization on a firm foundation which compares fa- vorably with any organization in this state. After one year and a ha\¢ of existence the movement has been so firmly established in tbis city that it is felt that immediate steps should be taken to enlarge both the scope and the usefulness of the work. Because of the steady growth in the ranks of the troops it has been decided to enlarge the local council. A committee is now at work to in- crease the membership from twenty to sixty men. Thase selected to aug- ment the council will be chosen with great care and it Is expected that by September 1 the personnel will be an- nounced. the and .. At a recent meeting of the council A. F. Corbin was rewarded for his faithful services of the past year by being re-elected at the helm for the ensuing year. The members of the council feel that they are indeed for- tunate in having g man of Mr. Cor- bin's calibre at their head and a suc- cessful year is looked for under his guidance. Other officers elected are as fol- lows: Vice President, Louis P. Slade; Second Vice President, Judge James T. Meskill; Third Vice President, Ma- jor Frank L. Wilcox; Secretary, Stan- ley Sheldon; Treasurer, Frank G. Vibberts. Owing to pressure of bus- iness demands Mr. Sheldon resigned as scout commissioner and Rev. E. T. Thienes, assistant pastor of the First Church of Christ, was chosen as his successor, and E. W. Yergin, boy’'s secretary of the Y. M. C. A. appointed deputy commissioner. FAP The selection of Rev. Mr. Thienes as scout commissioner meets the ap- proval of every scout in this city. He has been identified with the move- ment ever since its promulgation in this city and has also been in touch with the younger generation through his duties at the church and is looked upon with much favor by the boy: The Vacation school at the Cente church of which Rev. Mr. Thienes is supervisor has proven a marked success in keeping the children from the streets and harm and at the same time teaching them useful arts such as basket making, hammock weaving ete. Rev. Mr. Thienes is a graduate of the University of Michigan. e was The boy scouts of Kirkwood, a suburb of St. Louis, Mo., have been supplied with saddle horses through the generosity of George R. Robinson. Twenty-four horses have been pro- vided for the use of the troop. The boys are taking a_course of lessons in horsemanship under a competent in- structor. The horses are kept in the stables of Mr. Robinson's estate. Mr. Robinson has also fita\l up a gym- nasium for the use of the Kirkwood iroop. .. Next week a resume of the work done by the eleven troops of scouts in this city will be given. . The following clipping taken from the Toledo, Ohio, Blade clearly shows why scouting spreads: “The amazing spread and pros- perity of the boy scout movement is proof enough of its worth. If its pol- icies were unsound, the work simply spectacular, it would have perished in its first few months. For even boys lose interest in show and par- ade. Parents are not too friendly toward schemes of the sort. The enthusiasm of promoters and organ- izers runs out where the incentive is false and the idea pretentious. The boy scouts have met every objection. They have strengthened themselves in every community in which troops have been formed. The movement, in every probability, will have a mil- lion boys in it before the tenth birth- day is reached. “A heavy debt of gratitude is due to those adults who have given their energy and time to forwarding the scout cause. They have made real gifts to their communities, performed substantial service for the nation. The scout movement is bound to raise the standard of citizenship in America.” MOOSE 70 AID WILSON Progressives pointed to Associate Campaign Com- mittee—20 Democrats on Main Body Seven Prominent Ap- Me- tic New York, Aug. 11.—Vance C chairman of the democrs that Cormick, national he has selected two committees to as- sist him in the conduct of the cam- paign to re-elect President Wilson.

THREATENS DEATH of Strikers in committee, announces democratic campaign New York; Mat- Carranza Holds A Paralyzing Mexico City Was Trea- son Against Government. El Paso, Tex., Aug. 11.—The text of a decree wherein First Chief Car- ranza revoked the death penalty against the strikers who paralyzed Mexico City through a general electric strike, appears in copies arriving here today of El1 Pueblo, a daily paper pub- lished In the capital. In tylng up the transportation, plunging the city in darkness and cut- ting off its water supply, the strike is held by Carranza to be no strike at all, but treason against his govern- ment, whose enemies will receive en- couragement by it. Carranza’s decree amplifies the law of 1862 In dealing with public disor- de It threatens with death those connected in any way the strike. The strike was declared on July 31 by the confederation of syndicates. The paper, dated August 3, glves a list of the leaders then in prison on the charge of rebellion. Tt sald that the strike was assisted by American syndicates, and that it stopped work in the arms and munitions factorfes, which was construed as treason to the de facto government.

New Haven, Aug. 11.—With the presentation to the board of finance yesterday of the estimates for 1917 the response of the fire board to the petition of the officers and men for increased pay, so long awaited, are made public for the first time. The estimates submitted show increases of approximately five per cent. granted to all ranks and grades from the of- fice of fire marshal down with the ex- ception of those of the assistant chiefs master mechanic, supervisor of mo- tor apparatus, and engineers and as- sistant engineers. In none of the cases, however, is the ten per cent. requested by the men in their petie tion granted. The increases granted amount to virtually one half of that requested, or five per cent.

The houses are half destroyed by shells or riddled with bullets. The ground is strewn with bodies, uni- forms, helmets and rifles. The ar lery duel continued above our heads and the enemy aeroplanes whirled across the sky, shot at by our gunners, while in the distance could be heard the furious clacking of machines guns. “The spectacle before us was su- perb, Over an iron bridge our batter- ies passed at a trot. The Austrian ar- tillery sent towards them whirlwinds of shells, the smoke from: which com- pletely blotted out our columns from time to time. When the smoke blew away one could see the batteries still proceeding on their triumphant way. The men of the ten regiments velled, wept and clapped their hands in their enthusiasm. Some of the gunners fell wounded, but the bridge was passed and our guns began to get near the enemy. “As soon as one passed the first houses and got into the city the as- pect of things changed completely. Normal life was resuming its course, and if it had not Leen for the echoes of the struggle one would not have known that a battle was in progress near by. In the Corso, one of the principal streets, a big cafe was open, fillea with officers, soldiers and civil- ians, the troops and citizens fraterniz- ing freely in their joy over the Italian entry into the city. Our flags floated from the windows of all the houses. “The population has almost all re- turned, for it has not fled. The Aus- trians forced the inhabitants to leave the city itself, but they remained scat- tered throughout the environs of the place awaiting the retreat of the ene- my to make their way back.” Rome, via Paris, Aug. 11, 2 —The number of prisoners taken by the Ttalians since the fall of Gorizia now exceeds 15,000 according to the corespondent of the Tribuna on the Isonzo front. Italian cavalry and cyl- clists are clearing the valleys of the retreating Austrians and according to the correspondent, the hattle continues in favor of the Italians on both wings.
