PULLAR "BOY SCOUT NEWS Troop 11—Our last meeting was Jheld at ‘Hart's, partly to inspect our plants for spraying and partly to have a meeting out in the open. We made preparation for spraying, which we did Saturday. We worked all day and sprayed our whole lot, al- though we had but one automatic sprayer. The others used ~elbow grease. We finished at 6 p. m. after putting 1t on good and thick. Up til] then we have not been bothered by lice and the bugs seemed to be rather good to us too. Last Sunday our parents made good our “Inspec- tion Day" which we held for their benefit. Quite a number showed up and after our Scoutmaster gave a full history of our garden, we guided them around .tho plots. They seemed to think that we certainly did attempt pnd carry out a good thing for a good purpose. Saturday will be tak- en up by our Sunday school picnic.

O0SEVELT PLEADS FOR FUTURE ARMY Describes As Criminal Our Lack of Foresight Before Moose Pittsburgh, Pa., July 27.—Prepare for the next national emergency by introducing the principle of obligatory universal military training for voung men In time of peace and unjversal service in time of war for every man and woman In the country, was the admonition delivered by Thebdore Roosevelt in an address he delwered here last night before the convention of the Loyal Order of Moose. As compared to the other great na- tions of the world, he declared, Amer- icans had in this war exhibited them- selves a miracle of inefficiency. Asserting that the United States government announces that the meas- ures of preparedness now in progress are temporary and will be stopped as soon as the emergency s over, Colonel Roosevelt characterized this as a “criminal refusal to provide for the future.” He summed up what America had accomplished since the declaration of a state of war with Germany by say- ing that the United States did not now have a single airplane fit to send across the German lines and that months must pass before one could be manufactured, that America had no heavy artillery to put in the battle- line and that Major General Pershing and his soldiers would have to trust to French and English guns. Ameri- can submarine chasers operating with the British fleet constituted, he said, only a tiny fractlon of the English force. It would be a year after the declaration of war before America would have a fair number of big cargo ships. Where U. S. Is Not Prepared. “We have not enough rifles for our men,” said Colonel Roosevelt. “We are painfully short in equipment. We have not yet begun to assemble the draft army, the first elementary offi- cers’ training camps have not been finished, the National Guard has only Just begun to mobilize. “We have put a fragment of our fine little regular army into France and, as it is composed almost exclusively of infantry without artillery, it would be helpless against any well-equipped enemy were it not alded by our al- les. “This is the sum total of the activ- ities of a nation of 100,000,000 people, and in possession of incalcuable wealth and boundless resources, during the six months following its entry (after two and one-half years' warning) into the greatest war in history. “The simple truth is that, relative- ly to the other great nations of the world, we have in this war exhibited ourselves a miracle of inefficiency; and we shall always be inefficient during the first vital months of any war un- til we learn to prepare in advance. “It is this utter unpreparedness which should convey the real lesson to us of this war. And remember that as yet we, as a people, acting through our government authorities, have not taken one step to avert disaster in the future by introducing a permanent policy of preparcdness: The meas- ures under which we are now acting are temporary makeshifts, announced to be such. We have been caught ut- terly unprepared in a terrible emer- gency because we did nothing until the emergency actually arose, and now, our government announces that what we are doing is purely tempor- ary; that we shall stop doing it as soon as the emergency is over, and will then remain unprepared for the next emergency. “It is this blind refusal—from the nation’s standpoint I can only call it the criminal refusai—to provide for the future that forces every honest and far-sighted lover of America to speak. “We cannot afford to count for our safety on anything but our own armed strength; the only way to make our strength effective is to make it ready in advance; and the only way really to make ready in advance is to intro- duce the principle of obligatory uni- versal military training in time of peace for our young men, and univer- sal service in time of war for every man and woman in the .country, in whatever position that man or woman can do most effective work. This is the only democratic system.” $200,000 IN COMPENSATION. Widows and Children of Dead Miners to Be Reimbursed. Sydney, C. B, July 27.—Every woman and child dependent upon the 69 miners who lost their lives in the Dominion Coal company colliery explosion at New Waterford on Wed- nesday will be provided for under the Nova Scotia workmen's compensation act.

It is estimated that the workmen's compensation board will have to ap- propriate about $200,000 for this purpo Early today 59 bodies had been recovered. MACHINI OUTING.

Mighty forces are mar- shalling, great stores of food and munitions are being gath- ered, and the energies of the nation are focused on problems inci- dent to the war. At the very beginning of the war the whole Bell system was placed at disposal of the Government. No nation has entered the war with such a comprehensive and efficient telephone service. As our military establishment grows, the :demands of Government upon the Bell System are bound to increase and al- ways they must take precedence over all others. Increased activity in commerce and industry as the result of larger demands for food and munitions from our allies and for our own use, means more need of telephone service by private the But private business must always be subordinated to the Government service. Each individual American will co-operate in service, and submit cheerfully to inconvenience or delay in his telephone service, when he understands how vital it is that Gov- ernment service shall take precedence over all else. this patriotic
