\ CHANGE OF VIEWPOINT
Victory has wrought a swift
change in the viewpoint of the
British soldiers, accordiug to Phil
Mo Giobs, Dossibly the most fa
mous of all English war correspond
ents, says the Seattle Time.
Haig's forces "seem to be buoyed
up with the enormous hope of get
■i:i£ on with this business quickly.
They are fighting for a quick vic
tory and a quick Peace, so they may
gi' back to normal life and "wipe
this thing clean from the map of
EuroDe and restore the world to
sane purposes."
Captured Germans only express a
hoie that they will b§ able to
"defend themselves long enougn
to ?aiu peace by negotiations" and
"many o* them go further than this
an«i admit they do not care how
P ace comes so long as there is
Peace." # »
The changed viewpoint of the
fighMnj- forces is a matter of far
rf aching importance. It lends pow
er to the Allied attack and it de*
'racta from the moral© or the op
»o*ine forces.
British and French forces no
lot-Ser talk of "wearing down the
er.emy," of destroying numbers of
his force,s with a resulting- great
les-' to themselves, so that his pow
er of resistance will become suffi
c'ently diminished to assure a vie
wy. They now feet that the wear
ing down process has been fraught
with success and that victory is not
on'y certain, but is in sight.
To the German soldiers, this re
tr<??t is no "strategical regrouping"
of armies. They know they are 1°®"
in.?, that all their sacrifices mere
ly are postponing th© day of de*
feat. Previously, when they were
oa 'he defensive in the West, they
were sustained by a conviction that
another great offensive was being
plioned. -which would- favorably in
fluence conditions in that theatre.
New they realize that the day of
Tejtonic offensives is at an end
and that they must remain on the
dejeosive until the end.
PIONEERING BEYOND COP
PER MINE
Mr. Girling, Anglican missionary
to the Copper Eskimos, writes of
his brother missionary:
"Early in December, Mr. Hester
and Mr. Hoare. with the boy Higluk
set out for Bathurst Inlet, ta-Wng a
native sled, and six dogs. Except
for one sled' trip I made here in
1915, Mr. Hester's work is on vir*
gin soil. There havp been fewer
blizzards this winter, but the
thermometer has stood low for
wec-ks at a time. Yet through it
all, these two men have pushed on,
visiting camp after camp, and at
flight, when weary, their rest was
in a snow house, with an oil lamp
to warm them at 40 below, a camp
fire being rare, as drift wood is
scarce. They have depended on na"
tive food, as our supply was low.
"This will enable his friend^ to

know what a difficult task he hag
attempted, if those who Bit com
fortably at home are able to rea
lize I*.
"Next year Mr. Hester hopes
to take his food supply East by
Doai. and thug save a lot of sled
work.
"We expect great things of him
aa his grip of the language and
previous experience, enabl9 him
to g^t down to immediate work.
"At one camp, to contribute his
shara of food, he added oatmeal to
seat Stew for the company. The
owner of that particular s®al had
bad luck sealing for a long time,
and the people said it wa$ on ac
count of mixing the white man's
food with the Eskimo's food. —

CLAY90X MAKES 105
MILES ON 5 GAL. GAS
Running an eighteen foot open
boat with a two horse power Evin
rude outboard engine between Ju
neau and Skagway, a distance of
106 miles, on less than five gal*
lous -of gasoline was the feat
accomplished by Will Clayson, who
returned on the last steamship from
a two months' trip to southeastern
Alaska and' the states, pays the
Cordova Daily Herald for Sept. 4.
He declared that when he left
Juneau he thought there was more
gasoline on board the boat and
when he disoovered there was less
tb»n five gallons he put into a
cannery and bought another can.
But this can wag not needed for
what he had carried him to Skagway
He left Juneau one morning, slept
tha' night in the boat and reached
SKeaway the next day.
Mr. Clayson left Cordova about
»*o months ago for Juneau, Bhip
piiii? his boat the Diplomat on
the same steamship. From Juneau
he went to the Sitka hot springs
where he spent a few days. Then
h« .eturned to Juneau and made
the trip to Skagway in The Diplo
mat. He owns a clothing store
in Skagway similar to his store in
Cordova.
After a short stay in Skagway he
went to the states and visited in
Srattle and' Portland and finally left
for Cordova shipping The Diplomat
to Cordova.
H*v declared he has every confi
dence in the future of Cord"ova and
will make this his permanent home.
Skajway, he says, has been quiet
this summer, but that his Btore
thero ha« done very well. Ketchi
kan has also been very lively this
summer, he assert.
Art.
Here are quotations from some of
the examination papers submitted hy
Indianapolis school children for credit
in the art courses at the John Herron
Art institute:
"His way of working was very tech
nique.' "
"There was a picture of St. Cather
ine receiving the crown from an
'angle.'"
"Michael Angelo hns many pointings
in the Rennissar.ee, which is a building
in France."
"The 'sargent' did the 'freeze' in a
room in the Boston Library."
"Hoffman painted most of the Prima
Donna. The most famous Is the Sls
tiae Madonna."
"One of the greatest painters of all
times painted beautiful pictures on the
celling of a church somewhere In the
United States, and this great artist's
name was Mlchrel Angelo."
Heavy Demand for Rubber.
'ihe world discarded 183.000 tons of
automobile tires during 1916. Adding
to this the large number of bicycle
tires thrown away every year by their
owners, it appears that the world
spends every year at least $600,000,
000 for pneumatic tires alone. Nearly
5,000,000 automobiles are now in use
in the United States. To supply these
with tires nearly 88,000 tons of India
rubber are needed every year, and the
American automobile owners pay every
year as much as $200,000,000 for tires.

"SCOXJTS
(Conducted by National Council of th»
Boy Scouta of America.)
'•ALL OUGHt'tO BE SCOUTS"
"If I hud tuy v.c;;," sr.;,"3 Eil .varJ Bok,
"I wculd have eve.y boy on Ills twelfth
birthday become a boy scout. 1 know
of no single idea In our modern life
that has In it so many possibilities for
the development of the best qualities
In a boy as the scout Idea.
"It has been the making of several
boys that I know; It has awakened
even a larger number. My own boy Is
u scout, and so I speak from personal
experience.
"The scout idea fits into these busy
days for fathers with particular force,
since where the futher cannot give as
much attention to his boy as la normal
times, or Is away from home on serv
ice, the scoutmaster comes in with his
steadying influence in a peculiarly hap
py way.
"The entire fundamental structure
of good citizenship lies in the Idea:
obedience, a respect for authority and
himself, consideration for the other fel
low, honor, courtesy, and a love of
country. Where Is there a better secu
lar code than this to Instill Into a boy
of thirteen?" ,
SCOUTS IN REAL WAR WORK.
The Boy Scouts of America Is
growing at the rate of 1,200 a day. A
regiment of youngsters is being re
corded each 24 hours at the national
headquarters In New York city. There
are now 353,048 of these scouts twelve
years old and over.
The reason Is that the government
has given the boys who are scouts
many real things to do to help win the
war, and they have found out that as
scouts they can have a definite and
clearly recognized part to play In the
winning of It
While other boys are simply tossing
their hats up or cheering from the
"side lines," the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica Is being called upon by the presi
dent, the secretary of the treasury,
the war department, the food adminis
tration and other branches of the gov
ernment, the Red Cross, the Liberty
loan committees and all factors in
winning the war.

WHAT THE BOY SCOUTS DO.
The world Interest In the boy ecout
movement challenges the Intelligent
understanding of every one, and yet
many people still ask "What Is scout
ing?" and "What do boy scouts do?"
The boy scout Idea is a movement
rather than an organization. It alms
to supplement existing organizations
such as the home, church and schdol
by engaging the boys' leisure energies
in outdoor games and activities of
cultural and practical value.
The aim of the scout movement Is
to Inculcate character, which, though
essential to success in life, is not
taught within the school, and being
largely a matter of environment Is too
generally left to chance, often with
deplorable results. The scout move
ment endeavors to supply the required
environment and ambitions through
games and outdoor activities, which
lead a boy to become a better man, a
good citizen.
