Gen. Leonard Wood, U. 8. A.
chief OF staff of the army, In a
letter OF greeting TO the United
Boy Scouts, says: willingness to
be shot does not constitute n
good soldier" Why do they call
our army chiefs to advise the boys
as to what makes a good SOLDIER
Are they not using them i'm Aus
tria, France, England, Germany
and Belgium today as food for
eannons?
Would they not use them here
for the same purpose IL there
were not patriots enough to go
forth and be shot for their coun-
try?
Why is II that every time the
Commercial Club, Civic leagues,
the church or any other public
gathering is called they devote
their entire time to appealing to
that bunk patriotism, the kind
that got Europe In war?
Why do teachers tell the Boy
Scouts to salute their superiors? L
thought this was a land of
equaiity-all were equal and
free.
What did a certain Judge and
some other patriots tell the scouts
In the armory a few nights ago?
Did they tell them anything about
God or the love of humanity? Not
that we could notice. But TO de-
fend the flag, fight for their coun-
try, make good murderers like the
@. A. RS were.
After all, Mr.. Preacher, why try
to fool the people forever2 Why
not be consistent? Either say you
stand for such as Europe has to-

Virginia and MIR. Jameson had at
Ruston thanks to the Tacoma
Times for openly condemning)

the capitalist system, or say you
stand for peace and come to the
front and fight for what you think
Is right. Condemn the Boy Scout
movement, the state and national
troops and teach the young gen
erations Thou shalt not KILL" in
stead OF the science of murder,
and teach him every man is his
brother.
Would like to hear from some
minister or Boy Scout leader.

Count Won MOltke Is
Brave Commander of
KaiSer'S War Forces

General Count Helmuth won
Moltke, now sc years old, name
sake and favorite nephew of the
great field marshal who led the
Germans to victory in the Franco
Prussian war, has been chief of
the German general staff since
1904 and as such is in supreme
command of the united forces of
Germany-UNDER THE kAI-
SER.
The reservation concerning the
kaiser is important. because Won
Moltke, modest and silent as the
famous uncle whom Germans
nicknamed the Great Taciturn,
has never believed that he is the
man for the place he occupies.
In fact, he refused the Job twice,
and accepted IL when he kaiser
Offered Il to him for the third
time. only because his imperial
master declared with brutal
frankness:
I'm time of peace any man can
do the work. In time of war
shall be my own chief of staff.
As 22-year-old lieutenant Won
Moltke served through the
Franco-Prussian war. For con-
spicuous gallantry in the fighting
before Paris he WAS decorated
with the order of the Iron Cross.
He was among the triumphant
victors who marched under the
Arch of the Star. His uncle, the
great field marshal, was very
proud of him and wrote home to
Helmuth's father, Adolf Won
Moltke:
Yesterday Helmuth marched
In with his regiment-the tallest
man in IL. The king asked me
his name. He looks splendid with
his Iron Cross"
In the last years of the greater
Moltke's life Heimuth and his
wife kept house for the old sol
