Lieut.. Gen. Miles Speaks.

Lieut.. Gen. Niles was introduced by
Col. John McElroy as the great leader
who concluded the siege of Petersburg
and thereby brought the war to a close
through his brilliant assault. Gen.
Miles reviewed four periods of military
reorganization. He said our coast is
as well fortified with the same class OF
high power guns and nearly enough
ammunition and all in good condition
as any other nation" He also said
that the recent history at the Darda-
uclleS has proven to the world that
guns on warship can never be a
match for guns on shore.

BOY SCOUTS FACTOR
IN j. S. PREPAREDNESS
Resolutions Adopted by the Ma
tional Council Say Records Show
the Results of Training.
All Officers of Organization Re
Elected at Sixth Annual Meeting.
Movement Discussed.

The records show that the logical
result of the program which the Boy
Scout movement is promoting is in real
ity as strong factor as any other one
agency which the country now has for
preparedness, since it develops the
charac ter of boys and assists them in
securing a proper conception of citi-
zen's responsibility.
This statement is made concerning
preparedness in resolutions adopted by
the National Council of the Boy Scouts
of America, the governing body of an
army of more than 10000 boys and
men. which held it's sixth annual meet
ing in this city yesterday
In these resolutions the National
Council takes the position that it
would be inappropriate for the Boy
Scouts of America to take any official
action with reference to any question
of policy for the United States govern
ment in matters capable of difference
of opinion of political character.
Each official and member should be
given full opportunity for freedom of
thought and action as an individual.

Not Anti-Military.

cit should be clearly understood:
First, that the Boy Scout movement
is not anti military. The Boy Scout
movement neither promotes nor dis
courages military training. it's one con-
Germ being the development of charac-
ter and personal efficiency of ado
lescent boys.
Second, that the records show that
the logical result of the program which
the Boy Scout movement is promoting
is. in reality. as strong factor as any
other one agency which the country
now has for preparedness. since it de-
velops the character of boys and as
sists them in securing proper con-
ception of citizens responsibility.
Third, Furthermore, boys who have
been scouts will. bel ause of their
training under the motto, BE Pre-
pared, prove themselves more virile
and efficient in any emergency which
calls for their services as citizens of
the country"

said:
THE treaty between the United States

THE Panama canal was built for all

and such is not the case The treaty
as it stands is in contradiction with the

President Wilson in his address
touched upon preparedness.
When you think of fhe heroic things
that are happening" ne declared. and
OF the enormous number of men who
have had to forget their own individ
ual interests in order 10 pool their
own blood as a nation. you know what
q tremendous, spiritual thing is nap
pening There is something maSnifi-
cent about it. whatever We may think
about any other aspect of the contest.
The President declared that all the
memories of the war between the states
were now Handsome When l see a
body of men like this. he said. 1T
seems to me they are rendered all the
more revered by the circumstances
that the war in which they took part is
now so far behind us that all the pas
sion of il has subsidized and that all we
read about 1t now is that two great
bodies of Americans honorably met
each other III contest for principles
which each believed in. and that the
outcome was the triumphant preserva-
ton of great Union to contain the
energies of great people.
The beauty about democracy, gem
tlemen, is that nobody can determine
beforehand or predict where its energy
- going to come from. 1t is spon-
taneous energy: it is energy that seems
almost, fguratively, TO spring from the
soil itself: nobody knows from what
humble dwelling or obscure part of the
country the men going to come
who will lead the country or who will
sacrifice their lives and their fortunes
for the country if it should becQme nee
essary to make sacrifices for il. So that
you do not have to depend upon a group
of families: you do not have to depend
upon any limited source of supply, but
all the energies of great nation stand
ready to be summoned to every task
that must be undertaken"
