SCOTTISH BOY
SCOUTS REVIEWED

Boy scouts Of Scotland were reviewed

movement, Sir X. :. Baden Powell. re.
Gently. The first inspection took place
IN Glasgow, where an interesting ex.
hibition of scoutcraft, driii, dancing
sword exercises, rope bridge making,
FIRE drill and first aid service received
a warm commentator.
SIR X. n. Baden Powell said in his
opening address that Glasgow was
largely responsible for the commence
ment of the movement. Most people
imagined that scout was fellow
who fought in war and undertook very
brave deeds all by himself, but there
were types of peace scouts who were
far more important than war scouts;
and the greatest ideal of a peace scout
was David Livingstone, one of Glas-
gov S citizens. He was the ideal he
held up to the boys, and they were
trying to make the boys good scouts
like Livingstone.
The chief scout also paid n generous
tribute to Sir William Smith, the
founder of the boys brigade. "who, -
he said, Chad revealed to them the
secret of how to take bow from the
sums and make man of him, and
trust his honor just as much as that
of 10y in other circumstances. The
boy scouts and the boys brigade might
be going by different roads, but the
same goal was their ambition. The
scouts in Glasgow enrolled at present
number 2600.

WASHINGTON. Nav lo.-Declarir


WASHINGTON, May 10.-Declaring
that gross injustice was done to DR..
Lyman Abbott at st. Louis, when the
American Peace Society, one of the
bodies composing the American Peace
Congress held last week in the Mis-
souri, city, removed Doctor Abbott, as
one of the society's vice presidents, Sec.
cretary A. II. Dadmun of the Navy
League, who returned to Washington
yesterday from the peace congress, af-
firmed that Doctor Abbott had been
condemned for something he did not do.
Secretary Dadmun declared that the Pc
tition to which Doctor Abbott's name
was affixed simply called for the adop-
tion of definite naval policy hy the
government, and he further stated that
the petition, which bore the signatures
of 5000 prominent men of the United
States, represented, in his belief, the
opinions of ninety-nine men out of ev-
cry one hundred in the country.
Differ as to Program.
"Peace societies throughout the coun.
try differ widely on the subject of dis.
armament said Secretary Dadmun.
'TThe peace at any price, advocates
hold that the United States should dis
arm Immediately, regardless of the ac-
tion of other nations. There are other
societies working for peace, arbitration
and the limitation of armament by in
ternational agreement that hold it to be
folly for the United States to become
the one great country to abandon all
means of national defense.
at was the ate-disarmament
faction that took exception to the po-
sition of Doctor Abbott. The other So
cieties in the congress, as, for instance,
the American Peace and Arbitration
League, occupy similar position to
that of the Navy League. Senator Elihu
Root, president of the Carnegie Peace
Foundation a society represented at the
congress, voted recently for three new
battleships.''
