THE BOY SCOUTS
 AND THE GANGS
Benefits Deriued from Member.
 ship in the Association.

otAAH hN litC EAooOCAS-NNOhAs
 The Holbrook Patrol of the Boy Scouts of America held a class of instruction in first aid work. at the Cottage Hotel. one evening last week. The boys present displayed a lively inter- est in the work. and the way they grasped the complicated parts of the work would do jus tice to a class Tn surgery.
 We think the following. from the St. Louis Star is significant and we quote it that our readers may see what the movement is doing in other parts of the coun- try:
 Judge Edward Portertield, of the Kansas City Juvenile Court, urges every parent in that city to induce his boys to join the Boy Scouts.
 If every boy in the city would .join," he says, the gangs would disappear, the Juvenile Court soon would be a stranger to the youth'and we would rear a gene ration ot men that would not re- quire much police protection. I have never had a Boy Scout in my court, and there are 1,200 of them in Kansas City,"
 The splendid tribute to an or ganizatlon scarcely four years old IS a well-merited one. Boys are small bundles of corked-up en- thusiasm. This enthusiasm must have vent. It there be no other outlet, the gang is the re- suit.
 The Boy Scout movement is spreading rapidly throughout the nation. and it deserves the en- couragement of every good man and woman
 The Boy Scout not only is pro- vided with an outlet for his ex- uberant spirits. but he is taught the love of nature in the open. He learns. too. to care for him. self and for his comrades under any conditions. The first aid to the injured treatment is one of the Boy Scouts first accomplish He soon knows how to make fire by friction. how to cook on heated stones, how to find his way in the forest with out a compass by the moss on the trees.
 While there is nothing military about the Boy Scout organiza- tion. the youngsters are taught a wholesome discipline. tender ness for the weak and a respect for the rights of others.
 Judge Porterfeld's experience is being duplicated in every city in the nation, and it is not at all unlikely that the Boy Scout may solve the gangster and gun-man problems of the big city.

''In Gods Name Spare the

PROBE THOROUGHLY
Federal Judge Takes Charge
of Vessel and All the
Documents.

HHlCAGO, July 31.-With one week
~ elapsed since the steamer East
land sank at its wharf with $500 ex-
cursionists on board, investigation to
determine blame for the accident has
simmered down to a federal grand
jury inquiry, although a county grand
jury continued to hear testimony and
Secretary Redteld of the department
or commerce went ahead with the
steam boat inspection examination re-
Quired by law.
Federal Judge lands forbade the
examination by others of witnesses de-
sired for the federal grand jury and
has taken possession of the ship and
all documentary evidence.
Secretary Redfeld today took no.
uce of the adverse criticism of his
inquiry and in a speech before the
hearing said he was profoundly
panied by the attacks made on him
before he had had time delve into
the case.
Abuse and scOrn me if you feel
that you must, but in Gods name
spare the men to whom | am trying to
the best of my ability to give square
deal, as my duty orders me to do"
the secretary declared feelingly.
He offered to make any sort of an
investigation any one could suggest,
provided charges were properly filed
against anyone.
One body was recovered from the
Eastland today, making the total
known dead S36. While 1853 are still
reported missing by the Western Elec-
trio company, giving a possible total
dead of 994, the missing list hav-
ing dwindled rapidly.

BROTHERS STEAL
WATCH AND MONEY
CLAIM OF POLICE

Walter and Martin Moad, brothers,
22 and 19 years old, respectively, were
ARE sted by Patrolmen W. II. Wilhour
and Frank Zabinski yesterday for the
theft of a gold watch, SIT and other
articles from T.. p. Ely, travelling
man from Hartford, Conn. Although
none of the plunder was found on the
youths when they were taken into
custody, a search of the territory
traversed by the thieves revealed
where everything but a baggage check
had been thrown. The brothers are
being held for investigation, although
it is probable charges of larceny Will
be preferred against them.
Hot and sweating from his days
work, Ely went to owen park for a
swim. While he was in the water the
Moad brothers, it Is claimed, broke
into his locker and ransacked his
clothing pockets, after which they
made their escape without being OBJ
served by the attendant. When Ely
discovered his loss he notified the
police and Wilhour and Zabinski were
detailed to the case.
Thorough search of the park failed
to reveal the whereabouts Of the
thieves. and later they were found a
considerable distance away. They
denied all knowledge of the crime and
readily offered to be searched. Moth
ing of value was found in their pos
session. 1t was not until after the
young men had been taken to police
headquarters that a thorough search
was made from the park to whore the
arrests were made, which revealed the
watch and money in clump of weeds
where they had been thrown.
The brothers at one time were resi-
dents of Springfield, Mo. During the
past few years they have been max
ing their home at Kellyville, Okla.

Cars Troops Now Hemmed
in ON Two Sides by Adj
vancing Germans.
ONLY ONE AVENUE OF
ESCAPE Is NOW OPEN
Capturing of Warsaw VIII
be the Greatest Victory
of the World War.

T DNDON, July 81, 10:31 p. ny
L. The fate of the Russian armies in
the Polish salient still hangs in the bal
ance. No official confirmation had
been received up to late hour tonight
of the evacuation of Warsaw by the
Russian troops, but that they are
withdrawing eastward is certain.
What portion will succeed in getting
back to the new line is a matter of
speculation. The arrival of Austrian
cavalry at Lublin, which is officially
announced from Vienna shows the
southern line of retreat is entirely
barred to the retreating army as Gen
eral Won Mackensen had previously
crossed this railroad.
There remain, however. the main
double-track route through Minsk and
an equally good road from Ivangorod
through Lukow and the northern line
which runs south of the Bug river, to
say nothing of lnnumerable vehicular
roads which enter the Polish capital
from the east. Therefore, so long as
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is
prevented from crossing the Bug from
the northeast it is believed Grand
Duke Nicholas has still an excellent
change of saving his whole army.
New Army Menace.
When the Russians do reach the
new line of defense they will be faced
by another danger-that arising from
the advance OF General Won Buelow's
army composed largely of cavalry
which is now approaching the fortress
Of Kovno and which is within three
days march of the Wilma -Petrograd
roalroad.
The retirement. although described
by Petrograd as voluntary. is accom-
panied by very hard fighting, remin-
iscent of General Kuropatkin's re-
treat from Lao Yang, when he in
flicted on the pursuing japanese
losses greater than his own. While
the main army with the field artil-
lery is making its way to the rear,
infantry and cavalry are protecting
the flanks and making repeated at
tacks. In this way a few hours are
gained, which are of inestmable value
10 the retreating forces.
Will BE Great Incentive.
1t probably will be several days be-
fore the struggle is finally decided,
Nobody questions the fact that with
the capture of Warsaw the Germans
will score a victory which will not
only put the Russians on the defense
for many months, perhaps well into
next year. but which will greatly
hearten the civilian population of the
central powers and release an army
of one million or more for an often
sive in the west. There continues to
be sharp fighting at various points in
the western zone, but this is initiated
by one side or the other simply to Sc
cure the best starting point for the
Zig offensive which is certain to come.
