The movement is far removed from
militarism. The pamphlet issued by
the organization says: "As an organ
ization the Scout movement is neither
military in thought, form nor spirit.
In recent editorial the 0regonian
said:
General Baden-Powell has made his
own sentiments about war abundantly
clear in his addresses in this country
during the past few weeks. tie asso-
ciates himself with those great soldiers
who bitterly denounee war as bar
barous and utterly illogical method Of
peaceful ends
The success Of the Scouts and their
prestige in different localities to a GER
tain extent depends on the personality
and ideas of the scout masters in those
localities. In New York City it is
reported that scouts are taught the
fundamental Of detective work. This
particular troop is in a good way to
make itself laughing stock and to
diseredit the endeavor Of other Scouts.
"
We wonder If we are going to have
another controversy similar to that
between Cook and Peary. Almost
simultaneous reports have been re-
ceiyed giving the news Of the discovery
Of the South Pole, one stating that
Capt. r. F. Scott, at the head of the
British expedition, has reached the
long sought point, while the other
states that Capt Amundsen, of Nor

however, was toy take this noble Ian.

could understand what he was trying
to say after somebody had translated

number OF words which nobody used
except in the presence OF company.
and invented the Roman mineral to
take their place. He was the first
Roman citizen who knew "amo, amas.

marriage ritual.
