every BOY A SCOUT,
aim OF OFFICIALS
Leaders Say in Five Years All Young
America Will Wear Uniform
of Organization.

Officials OF the Boy Scout movement.
who were in Washington Thursday to
attend the fifth annual convention of the
National Council OF the organization,
predicted that within five years nearly
all the 100000 boys in the United States
will be wearing the Boy Scout uniform.
They say that all that prevents the Boy
Scout movement from becoming a nation
al institution for the physical education
of the American boy is a lack of young
men. capable and willing to become scout
masters
The movement is so young that the
boys who started as tenderfoOt scouts
at the birth OF the organization have
hardly attained the age TO become scout
masters. In the next few years II is
said. the organization will have an army
OF officers better able to take in hand
the future of scouts than were the men
who founded the movement.
The officers OF the organization strive
to guide the movement as far as pos
sible from the military idea. Uni
forms are worn by the scouts merely
as an emblem Of the institution. and
TO aid in training the boys in discipline.
In foreign countries the Boy Scouts
are regarded as a reserve army in the
making but in this country, officials
Of the movement say. they propose
to eliminate the military idea. The
goal of the organization in Ameri"a
is to make the boys Of the next and fu-
tur" generations healthier in mind and

United Press STAFF Correspondent
LONDON. Jan. -England's view
that Germany foresees her ultimate
defeat and is now planning her most
desperate war measures was strength
ened today. Torpedoing OF the Brit
ish merchantmen Durward by a sub
marine was generally accepted as the
first move in the policy announced by
the German Grand Admiral Won Tir-
pitz. in an interview accorded Karl
n. Won Wiegand, of the United Press,
on December 2. of declaring war on
ali the enemy's merchant ships"
This Is the second of what British
oflicialdom believes are the Kaiser's
last effort" expedients The Yep
pclin raid of Tuesday night was re-
garded as the first. Ever since the
war began every report here concern
ing tho Zeppelins was that the aerial
fleet was being held as the Kaiser's
"last cartridge" The British view is
that the Kaiser. baked on land and

Llcyds' risk on merchant vessels
would probably increase as result
OF the feeling over the Durward's
sinking. This is the first time that

emily deliberately sunk a merchant
