Scoutmaster Skinner of Troop 4 and members of Troop 4 are assisting in the organization of the troop. e Plans are rapidly forming for the recruiting campaign to be conducted by the scouts beginning with the big banquet Wednesday evening, Jan. 3, and ending with the indoor meer, v evening, Feb. 16. In order the desired goal of 500 scouts by June 1, the 12 troops al- ready organized will have to be re- cruited to full ranks and four new troops will have to be organized. One of these is already provided for, that to be organized at the Boys' Club as soon as the new quarters are com- pleted. A second one is tentatively arranged for, so that the proposals for making the goal seem very bright. The campaign will emphasize three things, first, each Scout is to work to recruit his own troop to the com- plete quota of thirty-two scouts; sec- ond, when his troop is filled he is to work for recruits for other troops; third, recognition will be awarded for the Scoutmaster or Scout enlisting new scoutmasters and assistant scout- masters. .

The Roman newspapers re- cently published notices that the alarm would congist of five cannon shots, with the usual Tinging of church bells as a signal that the dan- ger was over, While so far it has proven impos- sible to prevent sporadic attacks on London, Paris, Venice, and other cities, arrangements have been made that may at least prevent the escape of raiders who attack Rome. The city ig favored by two low mountain ranges between her and the Adriatic sea, a distance of 125 miles. But should the aeroplanes escape the coast guns and the anti-aerial guns planted on thése mountain tops, the advancing aeronauts will still find in their path numerous squadrons of Italian machines. The city itself is armed with numerous high power searchlights and anti-aerial guns. The famous -Seven Hills of Rome, includ- ing the Capitoline above the Forum, have had each been so armed. The Janiculum Hill, which domin- ates St. Peter’s church and the Vat- ican the pope's residence, has several guns planted on its brow. The vat- is protected by another set of guns near the Castel Sant ‘Angelo, the solid and lofty marble tomb built for the emporers, whem Rome the world's battle center, and converted into a fortress, ‘While there is no uneasiness felt by the people of Rome for their own safety, it is certain, however, that a bomb dropped anywhere inside its limits could hardly miss destroying some work of art in the world’s rich- est monumental city. was later HUNTING SEASON OUT WEST.
