~ OMETHING like 4.000 camps of - boy scouts have been scat A tered over the country this
 summer, and many thousands of boys have enjoyed the opportunities afforded by them for healthful exercise in the open under the direction of scout masters who are no less solici- tous of their moral and intellectual than of their physical development, for. as Colonel Roosevelt, who is hon. orary vice president of the Boy Scouts of America has said. the movement "is in its essence a practical scheme through which to impart proper standard of ethical conduct, proper standards of fair play, consideration for others and courage and decency to boys who have never been reached and never will be reached by the ordinary type of preaching. lay or clerical"
 This moral purpose of the scouts is insisted upon by all the leaders of the movement who are impatient at the misunderstanding of those critics who have derived 1t as making for mili- tarism One of the main reasons for the recent visit to the United States of General Baden Powell the founder of the order, was to remove the tm- pression that the scouts were soldiers in the making and to impress upon the public the fact that the boys were be- ing trained merely for good citizen ship. These are some of the intunc tions which he lays upon the scouts:
 "To learn cooking and camping and how to look after themselves in the wild. whether on water or on land.
 "To be manly chivalrous fellows. es- pecially by doing good turns daily. however small, to the weaker and smaller.
 gro join together as troops or pa trols in doing public service as mat ter of duty and not with any idea of being rewarded"
 Following out this last injunction, the boy scouts have allied themselves with various movements looking to- ward the improvement of civic condi- tions. They have done excellent serv- ice in the cleanup movement and for the associated reform of fly extermina- tion. They have joined in the agita tion for a safe and sane Fourth and are now to be utilized to prevent fires in town and country in the latter par ticularly, by care in making and ex tinguishing their campfires.
 The purpose of the scout masters and others in authority is not to make heroes of the youngsters. but manly men, good citizens, ready to take the initiative in civic work instead of waiting for somebody else to say Come oni" Nevertheless the policy of doing good turns every day. which is one of General Baden-Powelps pet ideas does work out particularly in these outdoor experiences of the scouts, in some deeds that the average person regards as heroic. Only few months ago the property of a public institution in New Jersey was saved from destruction by fire through the alertness of two boy scouts. who were the only persons on the scene who re- taiped their self oossession-

The loan sought for Nicaragua was s10,00o, 900, and the Morgan syndicate and, later, the Whit ney Central Bank of New Orleans. of fered to make it under the terms of the treaty. With their shelving how ever. the demoralization of commerce and industry set in at once. and it was then predicted that the two republics would be in dire straits within a few months These predictions are now fulfilled by actual conditions in both countries, especially in Nicaragua In the latter republic the revolution, which it was feared would follow the rejec- tion of the treaties. has begun under the leadership of General Mena, who called his followers into the field when his resignation was demanded.
 So great is the need for outside help that the American National Red Cross has begun to purchase food supplies for destitute Nicaraguans. drawing upon the commissary department of the isthmian canal commission.

The number of descendants of Span ish settlers Is only 17000.

 The capital, Managua, which was bombarded by the rebels. is the second city of the republic, with a population of 3O.O00. The soldiers of the regular and rebel armies are not much to look at judged by American and European standards: but like most Latin Amer jeans. they are good fighters. and the revolutions are often bloody.
 For many years the chief interest of this country in Nicaragua lay in the possibility of building an interoceanic canal through its territory, by way of the San Juan river and Lake Nfca- apua Commodore Cornelius Wander bilt in I849. obtained from the Mica raeuan government a charter to con- struct such a canal, but the conces- sion Iapsed because of the nonfulfill- ment of the conditions. It was the be- lief that the Nicaragua route was the best that led to the conclusion with Great Britain of the Clayton-Buiwer treatv. which secured to the United states the right to run the canal through the Mosquito protectorate, a British possession, on condition that tba neutrality of the waterway be guaranteed. The Nicaragua route. in deed was in 1901 declared by com- mission appointed by President Mo Kinley to be "the most practicable and feasible" chiefly on account of the financial difficulties in the way of ac- quiring the Panama franchise. It has been hinted that, in case of European dissatisfaction with American man. cement of the Panama canal, the

The landing of bluejackets and ma- rines from the gunboat Annapolis at Corinto, the principal Pacific port of Nicaragua, was requested by the gov ernmenta itself, which admitted it's in- American property any of the forces with which it was operating against the rebels under Generals Zeledon and Mena,, The first of these is in general command of the rebels, who call them selves Liberals; the second is former minister of war.
 Nicaragua traces most of her recent troubles to the ambitions of Jose Ze lava, who ruled the country despotically for sixteen years and was deposed from the presidency and sent into exile in 1910, through the intervention of Secretary Knox. This fierce and blood thirsty dictator impoverished his coun try by wars of conquest. having the ambition to make himself the greatest force in Central America. After his downfall it was hoped that the conn trys shattered finances might be re paired through the refunding of the national debt and the conclusion of a loan to be sanctioned by the United States government. But the treaty in accordance with which the loan was to be effected failed of ratification by the United States senate. and the financial embarra ssments of the Diaz govern ment provoked another revolution.
