THINK AMERICA
WILL INTERVENE
REPORTER in PEklN a FORCE
OF 10000 MEN UNDER BELL
MAY ENTER CHINA.

Pekin, China.-.American inter
vention in China is threatened from
Manila, Philippine Islands, where
Major Eel has 10, 600 mel ready.
1t is understood here that if
America ends sucil an expedition, it
will be as the representative of all
tho powers. Grave trouble is fear
cd ii such Il course it taken, as both
the rebels and imperial;sts would re,
sent such intervention and attack the
intervening army.
Yuan Shi Kai to36y definitely re-
fused to accept the premiership of
China. He told a delegation OF the
national assembly which waited on
him, begging him to accept, that he
was unable to cope with SO grave a
situation as that which now con-
fronts the country.
Shanghai. China The rebels to-
day renewed their attack on Han
kow. That city was bombarded and
the royalists' death toll is heavy.
Rome, ltaly.-Turkey will not ac-
cept mediation or intervintion by
America in the present war with
Italy. even il arrangements should
be made to that end with the United
Suites. Today the Turkish empire
issued an order for all Italians to
leave Turkish soil within "a hours,
under threat Of arrest ana impris-
onment as prisoners Of war. This is
la severe blow to Italian business and
commerce.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-05-16
BOY SCOUTS FOLLOW THE FLAG

of Manila. He has organized several
patrols of boy scouts. and is planning
to form a troop of Filipino boy scouts.
Down in the Panama canal zone, boy
scout patrols have been formed in
GorgonR, Satun, and in several places.
Intrusted men of these places are
working actively with the boys and al
ready have accomplished remarkable
results. In Honolulu, Paul Super, and
Robert S. Gault have several patrols
of boy scouts. and have put them
through many of the boy scout stunts.
The boys in the different territories
'are playing American games, so
camping, and are urged to do good
turns, and above all to be careful in
making clear to foreigners the real
principles of American citizenship
Gault reports that his boys took part
recently in a great floral parade, the
chief event of the year there; he also
says that the boys have gone on
hikes, camping. and have collected
many interesting shells. In the Phil
ippines the boy scouts recently partic-
ipated in carnival. H. e. Shaffer,
of San Juan, reports that his scouts
have engaged in signaling, first aid
and life-saving training; and that they
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-05-16

The boy scout organization has
spread rapidly and effectively. The
colonies of the United States have
troops of boy scouts affiliated with
the boy scouts of America In Ma
mia, P. l.; the canal zone, San Juan,
Porto Rico, and lin Honolulu, Hawaii,
there are patrols OF scouts who are
being trained in various activities.
In addition the movement has spread
to Cuba and Mexico.
In the various territories the troops
of boy scouts have been organized by
Americans who appreciate the value
of spreading the principles of scout
craft. They realize that the boy
scout activities not only train the boys
mentally and physically, but also de-
velop patriotism. The boys have been
trained to salute the flag, and to do
many other things emphasizing the
principles Of American citizenship. 1t
is the hope of the scout leaders and
the other men interested in the boy
scout work in the territories that
the boys will help in arousing still
greater respect among the natives of
lean principles and institutions.
H. Il. Shaffer, scout commissioner
for Porto Rico, who has several hun
dred boy scouts under his charge,
writes that the organization is in
reality the only patriotic organization
on the island; that the boys by their
example to their brothers and fathers
are really working a revolution in
the attitude of Porto Ricans toward
Americans. Similar efficient work is
being done in the Philippines by Ell
wood s. Brown, scout commissioner
