r i iua.v , .Tj'iu i <?> < <S> BOY SCOUTS <8> < 4??G><&<$><$,Q>'$><$<$><$<$><d<&$><i On Thursday afternoon as man; scouts as could attend met at head quarters, prepared to go on a hike t< Mr. Walter Herbert's place, "Oa! Farm." The start was made abou 3:30 and <we arrived at our camp sit about 6:30, in a fit condition to d< iustice to our supper, after we ha< pitched our tents. After supper th< camp fire circle was formed and afte closing the day with a religious cere mo.jy, we retired to our tents and me our Waterloo in the form of mosqui toes who approached grasshoppers ii size, and tigers in ferocity. Afte' vainly trying to defend ourselves fo two hours, as if by common consent almost the entire camp arose and sur rendered the tents to the mosquitoes Further sleep was impossible, and a: there was a bright moon we set abou Histractir.e our attention from the po tato-size whelps which the mosqui toes had made. There was a goodl: supply of "jaw-breakers" and thos< whose, mouths were not swollen shu joyfully accepted the solace and com fort offered by these delicacies. A frog spearing expedition was or ganized and headed 'by the redoubt able Collier Neel, the young brave: marched off to victory in the form oJ two frogs. Sight-seeing parties wer( formed and the surrounding countrj "was thoroughly explored by moonl:ght. The lame, the halt, and the (blind who remained in camp had z good vantage point from the tcp oi a big pile of sawdust and from thence could watch the movements of the at'tacking hordes of mosquitoes. Dawn came and with it new hope and courage for the afflicted, for the greater part of the cowardly mosquitoes withdrew. Fortified ii>y a good ibreakfast, life was resumed and the camp was given a thorough cleaning up. Mr.' Herbert gave us the key tc the boat on the creek and all thai kept us from becoming second Magellans was a big pile of driftwood and brush which we could not move. The morning was spent in boating and exploring, and by some in regaining lost sleep. Dinner was served a la Ritz-Carlton and was enjoyed tc the utmost. After resting a while after dinner, we adjourned to the creek and disported ourselves in true Nepturian style.The afternoon passed thus pleasantly and at late even in j we were favored by a visit frchrRev. and Mrs. Clarkson, and" still later by Scoutmaster and Mrs. Julien. Supper was enjoyed immensely, thanks to Assistant ?? Scoutmaster and First Chef Clarkson's flapjacks. Mr. Herbert's son came down and helped to set out some set hooks, while Mr. Herbert himself supplied and helped set some gill nets. The mosquitoes were not so bad this night, possibly because they could not find a place to bite where they had not bitten before. We all 3 x J -fVia mnrn. enjoyed a gooa re^L cum m ing were ready for the nice catch of fish which our valiant set hookers had brought in. Breakfast eaten, the camp was s;tiuck, the grounds policed, and ev 1 J-- -fr-nrv: erytnmg taxen to Mr. aciucn o, thence it was transferred home, Mr. Herbert himself taking several scouts who had to work that day. The rest hiked it in, a great many securing rides from the people coming in; so that it is the unanimous opinion thai the. camp was a decided success, thanks to Mr. Herbert and his family RFRI.IN ANNOUNCES PACT WIT4 RUSSIANS Germans Say Trea>y Ha", Been Unuei Consideration for Two McthtHs Berlin, Aprpil 17 (By Associated Press).?An official communication was issued this evening announcing the conclusion c? a Russo-Germar treaty at Genoa. Briefly outlined il says the treaty had been under consideration for the past two months The original draft was prepared anc submitted by Leonid Krassin, the Bolshevik commissair of foreign trade and commerce, early in Fberuary anc since then its scope and charactei have been liberally amplified through conversations between Berlin, Ri^s and Moscow. During the course of these conver eotirvnc tVio wvprniTient freelv con suited the German industriaiisl league and also dispatched promineni leaders of the league to Moscow anc Petrograd with the purpose of obtain ing a first hand view of the economic situation. The communication declares the present treaty virtually received the final approval of both the contracting parties when the Russian delegatior to Genoa, including M. Critchehrin, M Litvinoff, M. Joffre, M. Krassin anc M. Rakosky, were in Berlin on then way to Italy, but that the formality of signing was deferred until all oi $ the parties to the compact had been I * 1 conveniently gathered together in Ge- j ' noa. No further details of the treaty j ^ are furnished bv the communication j I * i *!beyond the statement that both gov- j v ernments had decided to "wipe the ! " slate clean," desiring to lay the foun- j 3 dation mutually for future recon- | ^ 'struction. t Whether official and diplomatic re- j e lations between Russia and Germany I 3 will be immediately resumed is notji ^ indicated in the communication. It j e does not refer to the assassination of ' r Count Von Mirbach, the German am* bassador to Russia. It shows the , 1 treaty vouchsafes to the contracting j " parties the benefits of most favored i 1 national treatment and complete re- ! r ciprocal accommodations. j r The Berlin newspapers received , ' their first notification of the treaty - fV? no-V> fVip nffifinl communication i this evening. The Easter holidays ] 5 have left Berlin with newspapers for 1 48 hours. The public has not ^een , " informed regarding the occurrences " at Genoa since Saturday and still is f ignorant with regard to the treaty, - the announcement of which surprised t even newspaper circles as no action " in this direction had been expected . while the economic conference was in " progress. As government and reichstag lead- \ 5 ers are still on holiday away from Berlin authorities comment on the < * signing of the treaty could not be ob- : 7 tained tonight. j _ 1 I ?? j London, April 17.?Premier Lloyd j 1 George, questioned tonight concern ing rumors that the conference was j 5 on the verge of breaking up, is quoted j " by the correspondent of the Exchange : Telegraph company as saying: "You always hear rumors wherever < there is a conference. Personally I ] ' am optimistic." j ' Regarding reports that the French j : are preparing to withdraw, he said: j "No, no, they are not going home." j 1 The allied attitude, added Mr. j : Llovd George, had not been definitely | ' decided upon; it would be. necessary j 1 to continue the discussion tomorrow, j - Riga, April 17 (By the Associated i ' Press).?A conspiracy among Rus^ sian monarchists in central and eas1 tern Europe to kill Nokali Lenine if f he dares to step outside Russia is said by secret service men here to have : had more or less of a bearing on the -fact that Lenine has not started for Genoa to attend the economic conference. , < I .. . I ! According to the - secret service men, the plot to assassinate Lenine is being strengthened from the Mediter: ranean to the Baltic seas. They de' clared the -plot is a well organized 1 one and- that notwithstanding the ar- 1 : rest of White Russians in Italy, Ger many and elsewhere, the leaders in the conspiracv still are at large. i | Genoa, April 17.?The British, | ' French and Belgian delegates have I ' prepared a resolution for presenta- | i! X- a.1 * J 1 J.1 j. I i;on iu tne conierenee, declaring inai a the system of international trans- 1 port should be determined, not bv 8 1 political considerations, but by com- I mercial and technical conditions. > Article 1 of the resolutions says as- 1 'sistance should be given countries g ' not possessing resources necessary j I for the restoration of their transport-ii ? systems. Articles 2, 3 and 4'empha- | ?ize the desirability of the ratification I : and application of the decisions of a > the Barcelona and Porte Rosa con- I ; .ventions of 1921 and also of the oth- j| , er conventions which have dealt with i railroad traffic. Article 5 says: I "The problems and difficulties up- I on which an accord was reached at I Porto. Rosa equally affect other Eu- | ' ropean state's and it is desirable that j| Liius.tr siatss siioum nuiu an interna^-j tional conference of experts without |j delay to examine their problems of IJ transport." i The Porto Rosa convention was 1 made by the states which superseded S the Austria-Hungarian empire. Genoa, April 17.?"The action of | the Germans is an absolute breach of I loyalty to the general idea of the JI Genoa conference, and in this sense I ^ is dishonorable and a challenge to ^Europe," said the authorized British J spokesman tonight to The Associated * Press in discussing the signing of the Russo-German treaty. 1 "Nevertheless" the spokesman con1 tinued, "the British delegation does not think it will result in the breaking up of the conference even though Germanv has broken loose from it." t * t Card of Thanks 1 We wish to express through The - Herald and News our sincere and S - heartfelt gratitude for the many acts | of kindness and sympathy of our - friends during the illness and at the ' decease of our beloved wife and mor ther.
