O’KEEFE BROTHERS WRITE FROM FRANCE \ £ i Deniel O’Keefe is With Company I ’ and James is With Machine Gun Company Abroad. ““Mrs. Margaret O’Keefe of 115 Clark street hag given two sons .to Uncle Sam, Attorney Daniel E. O'Keefe of Company I, U. S. Infantry, and James O'Keefe of the U. S. Machine Gun company. In detters written to their mother from France they state that they arrived safely at their camping place after an eventful trip across. Daniel O’Keefe, formerly a lawyer here, writes In part as follows: “Dear Mamma: “I suppose you think by this time I am with theé angels but I am not. I am still on earth and giving the un- dertakers’ union very little encourage- ment. I am sorry I cannot telephone you but the line is busy so I am writ- ing. We had a fine trip across and fortunately I escaped being seasick, so I am very well satisfied with my first trip across the pond. I have seen very many interesting things and places since I left the U. S. and by the time I return I expect to be a human encyclopedia. “I do not regret now that I studied French ag it comes in mighty handy here. I have started a small French class among the boys and you would be surprised to know how much one can pick up in a'short time. It also ‘| helps to pass the evening hours away. I feel better now than I have in a long time and the new scenes and ex- periences are doing wonders for me. I expect to see my brother James to- day or tomorrow. Frank says he is feeling fine too. Hoping that you and the children are all well, I remain your loving son. “DANIEL E. O'KEEFE.” His brther James, to whom the above letter refers, writing home about the same time, says in part: “Dear Mother: Just a few lines to let you know that I am in the best of health and hope this finds you the sdme. I got your letter all right and ‘Sister Claire’s to, but you can bet mother, that it was yours I was wait- ing for as it had been a long time since I heard fro myou. Brother Dan Is here too and has a good job in I ' Company. tional Guard have arrived, including ‘the other New Britain men, it seems more like home here. Nevertheless, you can tell the world that while ' France s a nice enough place I don't Hke it for home was never like this. “Wishing you a merry Christmas and extending the same greetings to the children and all my friends I am “Your loving son, “JAMES O'KEEFE.” MISSING FROM HOME.

Scout's War Service Activities. Under the slogan of “Every Scout to Boost America,” arrangements have been completed with the Boy Scouts of America by the committee on Public Information at Washington whereby each Scout will act as a gov- ernment dispatch bearer in helping to spread the facts about America and America’s war: The following letter kas been Roceived from President Wilson: 3 The White House December 3rd. 1917. My Dear Mr. Livingstone:— I desire to entrust the Boy Scouts of America with a new and important commission, to make them the Government dispatch bearers in carrying to the homes of their community the pamph- lets on the war prepared by the Committee on: Public Information.

The plans provide for the publica- tion of a special manual of instruc- tions and a credential card for every Scout. to be furnished by the Com- mittee on Public Information. The 284,542 members of the Boy Scouts of America will put a specially print- ed copy of President Wilson's Flag | Day address in circulation ‘and will make it easy for everybody to obtain | pamphlets from the government on the real causes of the war and also | other patriotic literature. a Troop 8 will not hold any more meetings until January 7. On that night all members are Tequested to be present and bring with them a present valued at 10 cents. There will be a Christmas tree and a good time for everybody. Two members of Troop 8 are going to Providence to attend the Scout conference. At Troop 4's weekly meeting, Wed- nesday evening, an application for membership from Curtis Booth, a member of the Center church, was ac- cepted. As Curtis is lacking a few months of his 12th birthday, he will not become an active member until February. Scout Wells Kilbourne was sworn in as patrol leader of the Rac- coon pgtrol by Scout Bxecutive Dwight Skinnef. This was the first time the ceremony had been perfarmed, and it was very impressive. At the regular meeting of Troop 12, held Tuesday evening, Scout Linton and Scout Rocco were elected to act as delegates at the conference to be held at Providence, December 28 and After the meeting games were played. The next meeting will be held January 2, 1918. Troop 11 met Thursday night at its room an Arch street. By order of the ,coutmaster, who is at Camp Devens, Patrol Leader Henry Firnhaber and Assistant Patrol Leader Frank Glae- ser were given higher ranks. The former was advanced to semior patrol leader, while the latter was made pa- trol leader of the Flying Eagle patrol. Scout Executive Skinner was present and installed these new officers. The | assistant of the Eagle patrol will be | chasen next Thursday, also the assist- ant patrol leader of the Beaver patrol. The troop had a showt. business meet- ing, the rest being in charge of Scout | Scribe Wetzel. He brought in some new games. The troop has made plans for a hike on Saturday after- noon—a Christmas tree hike. Last | Saturday the boys cut a path thraugh | the woods, although the san was 29. waist deep*in places. Scout Rudolph sprung & New one in cooking,' as he had with him a big kidney with which he made all mouths water a trifle. The troop also had bacon and eggs Wwith fried toast, some ‘hat dogs, while still another made a hunter's stew. The assistant Scoutmaster said that even his mother had nothing on that stew, as it was simply delicious. There seems to be a rivalry among the boys as to bringing around new dishes, or, rather, new eats, camp style, so every- body is urged to put on their thinking caps and make the rest jealous. The members had loads of fun, but the real crisis came when the stew was dished out. There was enough for seven, and then some. CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS.
