by President Wilson but say that the
arrival of two boys, fugitives from Germany, has been officially
reported by the military authorities in France and that they brought
with them a letter taken from a dead German soldier which contained
references to the impending German assault near Arracourt, thus enabling
our men to anticipate and confound the Hun plans. Both of the boys,
whose names are given as Archibald Slade and Thomas Archer, are now in
training behind the American lines. A _Thomas_ Slade is reported to have
been in the steward's department of the Transport _Montauk_ which was
struck by a submarine last spring.

The Tom Slade books have the official endorsement and recommendation of
THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA. In vivid story form they tell of Boy Scout
ways, and how they help a fellow grow into a manhood of which America
may be proud.

TOM SLADE, BOY SCOUT

Tom Slade lived in Barrel Alley. The story of his thrilling Scout
experiences, how he was gradually changed from the street gangster into
a First Class Scout, is told in almost as moving and stirring a way as
the same narrative related in motion pictures.

TOM SLADE AT TEMPLE CAMP

The boys are at a summer camp in the Adirondack woods, and Tom enters
heart and soul into the work of making possible to other boys the
opportunities in woodcraft and adventure of which he himself has already
had a taste.

TOM SLADE ON THE RIVER

A carrier pigeon falls into the camp of the Bridgeboro Troop of Boy
Scouts. Attached to the bird's leg is a message which starts Tom and his
friends on a search that culminates in a rescue and a surprising
discovery. The boys have great sport on the river, cruising in the
"Honor Scout."

TOM SLADE WITH THE COLORS _A WAR-TIME BOY SCOUT STORY_

When Uncle Sam "pitches in" to help the Allies in the Great War, Tom's
Boy Scout training makes it possible for him to show his patriotism in a
way which is of real service to his country. Tom has many experiences
that any loyal American boy would enjoy going through--or reading about,
as the next best thing.
