CHEERING NEWS FROM WEIHAIWEIL CAMP

Health Wonderful, and Food Plentiful Glad news has just arrived in Shanghai of the Weihaiwei Scouts Camp, where those lucky enough to be enjoying a healthy holiday well away from Shanghai are reported to be having the best of a good time. It has been decided to keep the camp going for the present, and parents are advised to send parcels of warm clothes to their boys in camp, as the weather is becoming chilly. The following extract from a letter received by Mr. W. C. Cassels, Scout Commissioner, from Mr. W. J Silvey, camp chief, testifies to the welfare of the Shanghai scouts now in Weihaiwei:- "We are all-safe and well. The boys are enjoying themselves, Weather excellent. Health wonderful.

Food plenty (except butter—none). Behaviour splendid. In fact all serene and content except for the worry of what the actual position is in Shanghai and where the various parents are."
