The supposed leaders are being held for further in­
vestigation, and it is likely only these, and not the rank
and file of the dissatisfied scouts, will be court martial-
led. Rome admired conquered enemies when they show­
ed valor on the field of battle, and admitted the defeated
to citizenship. The Filipino scout strike is not likely to
merit much commendation in this country and will not
help the Filipino in his cause for independence.
The day following “ Battling” Siki’s marriage the
announcement is made that he has a wife and a baby in
Paris. Even though there are still others in the jungles
of his native land, it will make no difference to the white
“ flame” who married him in New York.

BLANK C H EC K S=Printed forms for orders
on the bank to pay out money from the
depositor’s account. The depositor writes in the name of
the person to whom he wants money paid, the amount he
wishes paid, and then signs his own name. When the
check comes to the bank it pays the sum of money as indi­
cated, deducting it from the depositor’s account, and keeps
the check which it cancels. Cancelled checks are each
month returned to the depositor and serve him as receipts
for the payments made.
