PART BOY SCOUTS Of WORLD Will
PLAY IN GREAT EUROPEAN CONFLICT
Much Interest Is Evidenced Conserving Possible Action Of About
Three Hundred Thousand Of These Youthful Warriors
They May Become Valuable Aids to the Embatted Ma
tons From Many Points of View.

New York.-HoW great a part will
Boy Scouts of the world play in the
great war of nations staged IN Eu-
rope? That they will play some part
has been demonstrated already. Hard
ly had the Germans invaded Belgium
than there came the report across
seas that Belgian Boy Scouts to he
number of about 30 had captured sew
eral German spies and escorted them
to headquarters. A few days later
this report appeared:
The Germans are using Boy Scouts
as spies, according to reports from
Began army officers. Complete plans
OF the Dutch fortress at Maestricht
We're found en- a German Boy Scout"
Nor is this all. That Europe had
conceded the possibilities Of the Boy
Scout organizations in time OF war
was demonstrated when, some years
ago, the French Peace society invited
Sir Robert Baden-Powell and 5000
Boy Scouts to invade France and

that the frontier is still a pride in

Nearly all the training in all coun-
tries is given out or doors. Stars and
moon, rain and sun. birds and butter
flies, each have their part in the e
knowledge gained. Tracks and track
ing are studied. and to become even
a "tenderfoot,' in the language OF the
scouts, a boy must prove, among
other things, that he car trail in 20
minutes an obscure track half a mile
long. Before he can rise beyond the
"tenderfoot" stage he must show that
he can make a fire out in the open,
using not more than two matches.

march on Paris. 1t was merely a
whimsical way Of showing the friend
ly relations existing between the Eng
lish and French nations.
But soon after the announcement
was made there came a terrific pro-
test. principally from military men.
The invaders were termed as boy
spies Of Britain and the fact that
the march was finally permitted did
not lessen the hostility to 1t In Ger
tain quarters.
Organized essentially in the inter.
ests of the boys themselves and with
out the idea OF war, these young scouts
may become valuable aids to the EN-
battled nations. Those who believe
this point to the statement accredited
to Major General Wood that .'practi-
cally all wars have been fought by
boys"

played an indirect part in the war.

Marked Roads in Missouri.

All roads lead to Sedslia September

ducts will be on exhibition at the
Missouri State Fair.
IT'S but days spin by automobile
from even the most remote parts of
the State, and from anywherein Gen.

Sedalia in great numbers and the

will be thrown open to accommodate
the thousands of State Fair visitors
who will be accorded every possible
comfort and courtesy. The charge
is nominal, fixed by the Bureau Of In
formation, having charge of this
work.
From figures obtainable in the past
three years more permanent road
building has been done in Missouri
than for ten years previous. This adds
wonderfully to the commercial value
of the country through which these
highways traverse, and is also big
factor in the development of the
rural district socially and education
ally.
The management of the Missouri
State Fair has this year marked tele-
phone and telegraph. poles along the
principal highways into Sedalia for a
radius of many miles. The markings
are white bands with red bands un-
derneath, the lower band being about
one-half the width of the upper one.
These markings are so conspicuous
that autoists may travel by them at
night as well as day.
These highways connect with such

ToooIand, which Britain Has Taken
From Germany, 10 Rich In
Natural Resources.

Togoland, the fourth and smallest
Of German protectorates on the west
coast Of Africa, which has been taken
by Britain by an expeditionary force
Of Gold Coast troops, has a coast
line of about thirty miles only, but
the strip of territory extends inland
for about $50 miles. While mar
rowing on the northern frontier to
about thirty-two miles, it widens in
the center to fully one hundred
miles. 1t is calculated that Togo
land comprises an area of nearly
$4,000 square miles, and there is a
population of fully 100000.
There are fewer than four hundred
Germans in the colony. Most of
these are at LONE, the chief town,
and they consist of officials and
traders. Togoland, like the other
German West African colonies, suf-
fered from the methods adopted in
developing the territory, but it is a
rich country, producing palm oil and
palm-nut kernels, cocoa, kola nuts,
rubber and the many fibers yielded
by tropical forests.
In addition to building LONE on
lines which render it one of the
healthiest towns on the west coast,
the Germans spent about $250,ooo
in the construction of a landing
stage.

EMPEROR CARRIED THE WOOD
Appeal Of Aged Peasant Woman Rs
sponded To BY the Ruler Of
Austria-ffunoary.

The humanity of the Austrian em-
peror, that aged and much-harassed
monarch, has often been revealed in
bis dealings with the peasantry. In
his earlier days, says T. P.'s Weekly,
the emperor had many adventures
in the mountains, since, as he was
undistinguished in his shooting kit
by any mark of his rank, the Tyro-
lese peasants often failed to recog-
nize him.
Once, when he was descending late
in the evening from one of these
expeditions, he met an old, wrinkled
peasant woman, grooming and grum-
bling under the weight of fagot.
The emperor addressed CHEEKY good
evening to her. His overtures were
not at all well received, for the old
lady was in very bad temper. of
l were a great, strong man." she
observed, 81 should offer to help a
body to carry her wood home, in-
stead of passing her by as if she were
of no account"
The emperor took the delicate hint,
shouldered the fagot and carried it
for nearly two miles to the nearest
village, with the old woman grum-
bling at him behind. 1t was only
when she saw the imperial foresters
anxiously looking out for their lost
master that she learned that she had
shifted her burden to the heavily
weighted shoulders of the emperor.
