for by the older boys under carefully
supervised conditions.
Every boy should be trained to know
that every able bodied citizen owes q
civic duty to the nation all the time,
and soldiers duty in time of war.
This is not matter of voluntary action.
It is not open to the right. thinking boy
or man to decide whether he will vOlun-
teer to be patriotic or volunteer to have
somebody else patriotic for him. 1t is
his duty to be patriotic Primarily he
must show his patriotism by his service
to the nation in time of peace; but in
time of war he owes soldiers duty to
the nation. 1t may not be in the fight
ing line. but it is wherever he is best
fitted to work. He should, while boy,
have such training as will help his whole
general development as a useful all
round citizen of the country.
AS an incident to this. his training
must be such that on reaching a point
between the ages of Is and 81 there will
be relatively little left to teach him in
order that in the event of war he can
do his duty to the nation as a soldier.
not much more than can be absorbed in
three to six months of intensive train
ing. The Boy Scouts, like all the other
boys of the country, should get into
their heads clearly the idea that a true
democracy involves not only manhood
suffrage, but also manhood obligations
and service in time of need. and that a
man who admits his obligation and
makes no adequate preparation to dis
charge 1t is poor citizen.
RESPONSIBILITY AND sELF-RELIANcE.
OF course there can be no adequate
for war unless there is |
for the duties of peace, |
just exactly as it is useless to prepare
for the duties of peace unless we pre- |
pare also to defend ourselves. This is |
true in industrialism and it is even more |
true in training for the school attitude. |
The Boy Scouts should be sedulously |
trained, so that they can act together,
and at the same time each increase his |
individual self-reliance. There must al ,
ways be the power of acting in COOP
GRAFTON with others and the willingness
and ability to accept responsibilities and
10 act on ones own individual initiative.
The virtues of courtesy, kindness, un-
Ielfshness, desire TO help others, and
iesire to join with others for mutual
lelp must all be encouraged. Together
With these virtues, we must also en-
courage the sterner virtues without
which the milder ones amount to so lit
lie.
As the Boy Scout develops in body
md soul he must learn not only himself
o treat others well, but to be able to
Interfere to prevent injustice by the
trong against the weak. These two
cts of qualities are indispensable in
rivste life, and they are no less indis-
ensable in national and international
fe.
The Boy Scout Movement is distinc-
lively an asset to our country for the
evelOpment of efficiency, virllity, and
ood citizenship. 1t is essential that its
,aders be men of strong, wholesome
haracter. of unmistakable devotion to
1r country. its customs and ideals, as
-ell IS in soul and by law citizens there
{, whose whole-hearted loyalty is given
, this nation and to this nation alone. .
With all good wishes.
Sincerely yours.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

COLONEL ROOSEVELT CALLS
SCOUTING NATIONAL ASSET

Among the many letters received by
the Advisory Committee in charge Of
the financial campaign in Greater New
York, was q remarkable letter from
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, expressing
his point Of view as to the character OF
training that should be given to boys.
Colonel Roosevelt makes very clear
that boys should be taught to realize
that Rs men they owe an obligation to
their community and to their country in
any emergency. As he expressed it,
this obligation Is just as binding ss the
obligation for one to pay taxes.
He heartily commends the Scout Move
ment as an asset to the country. He
shows himself to be in full agreement
with the scouting program as it has been
conducted here during the past five years
as . non military movement for adOles-
cent boys. He points out that boys over
eighteen years Of age who might receive
supplementary military training will ac-
quire it more readily because Of their
experience in scouting activities. Col.
Roosevelt's letter in full, follows:
Dec 10, 1915.
Mr.. James E. West, Chief Scout Execu-
tive, B. S. A., New York City.
Ny Dear Mr.. West: wish you all
success in the effort 70 raise $500. 900
for the Boy Scouts of America. ! would
have hesitated to do this If events had
not made clear that the Boy Scouts
must ''be prepared" and are being pre-
pared in such fashion as 70 fit them not
only to be good citizens in time of peace,
but ready for supplementary military
training which shall make them able TO
render efficient service to the nation in
time Of war.
Events Of the past year in Europe
have shown that the possessions by q
nation Of all the virtues Of peace will
avail IL literally nothing unless it has
also the stern and rugged qualities that
will enable il to hold its own when
menaced by war, and. finally, unless it
has so trained itself. Boprepared itself
in advance, that these qualities Of soul
and the corresponding qualities Of body
will be available for immediate use IL
the nations vital honor or vital inter-
ests are assailed.
TRAINING OF BOYS ESSENTIAL.
Until q nation has fitted itself to de-.
fend itself it is not of fundamental i'm
portance what other form its activities
lake. Therefore, the boys Hnd young
men of the nation must steadily be
trained with this thought Ii view. We
should copy the example Of Switzerland
and Australia, two Of the most absolute
iemocracies in the world, and should
train our boys in the schools after they
reach q certain age, 80 that 1t some
period between the ages Of i8 and q
hey may be trained BY actual service
a the field with the colors 70 be a real
md not 4 sham citizen soldiery. This is
he only democratic system.
In q democracy no man has any right
o escape military training and, II nee
'ssary. military service. any more than
le has the right to escape the payment
# taxes. One obligation should no more
,e treated as voluntary than the other.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN
 "POLICE" ALL WEEK

Charlie Chaplin's greatest comedy,
 company, is to be the feature of the
 show at Keeney's all this week. For
 some time the mana cement has been negotiating for this remarkable film
 it for the headliner for the entire
 week. In this amusing picture. the S670,000 a year mirth proVoker will be seen in his old time slap stick methods, with his funny shoes and
 hand down suit. Tn 'Police" it
 is the Charlie Chaplin of old, the comedian who has lifted the world from gloom to eNhilaration and at the same time acquired such a reputation that he became the highest priced performer ever appearing in public. New Britain picture devotees have been waiting for long time for this great feature and if it comes up to ex pectations standing room should be at a premium every day.
 There will be no advance in the ad- mission price during Chaplin days, the managemen having decided against joining with other theater-
 owners in raising the "ante" because
 of the big price demanded for the
 Chaplin releases. The pictures are
 admittedly worth more than Keeney's s charges but the failure to increase the
 price of tickets is in accord with the policy of the management to give New
 Britain people the best films obtain
 able. keeping a standard box office fig ure.
 Because of the screen appearance of Chaplin the balance of the program will not be neglected. There will be
 the usual big dramatic features, the
 Peg of the Ring and Mysteries of Myra" serials; Frank Daniels in his
 latest comedies and a number of Uni versal double and triple reel features. Three good vaudeville acts have also been billed and the patrons are
 promised one of the most entertaining shows of the season.
 It is bound to be a big week for To- cal theater-goers and a correspond inglv big week for Keeney's.

But you ought to know Richard better than to take that tone with him. Give Richard his head and he soon tires of any of the thousand things he proposes doing from time to time. Oppose him, ridicule him, make him angry, and he'll stick to his notion as a dog to bone"
 She turned and walked into her own room again. l sat miserably huddled in the big chair, by turns angry at my husband and remorseful over my own hastiness.
 ''Vot I do about dinner, Missus Graham ?'
 Katie's voice was subdued, sympa- thetic and respectful. I realized that she had heard every word of our con- 1roversy. The knowledge made my reply curt.
 Keep it warm as long as you can, l will tell you when to serve it.
 Katie stalked out, muttering some thing about the dinner being spoiled. but I paid no heed to her. My thoughts were too busy with coniec- lures and forebodings of the future to pay any attention to trifes.
 The twilight deepened into dark ness. I was just nerving myself to summon Katie and tell her to serve dinner when the door opened and Dickys rapid step crossed the room. He switched on the light, and then coming over to me, lifted me bodily cut of my chair.
 Was the poor little girl jealous ?'' he drawled with his face pressed close to mine. "Well, she shall never have to be jealous again. We won't live in Marvin, naughty old town, full of beautiful models We'll just go over to Hackensack or some nice re- spectable place like that
 At first my heart had leaped with victory. Dicky had come back, and lie was not angry. Then as his lips sought mine, and I caught his breath. my victory turned to ashes. The regret or repentance which had driven my husband back to my arms had not come from his heart but from the depths of a whisky glass

DETECTIVE COMEDY
 AT POLTS THEATER

The Dummy" called detective comedy, by Harvey O'Higgins and Harriet Ford. the authors will be giv- en by the PoH Players in Hartford all this week. The leading detective is an East Side lad of , or 16 years. He has read a lot of dime novels and is proud of it. And he "shadders" the the head of a detective agency until he forces him to give him a job. Thus he breaks into a kidnapping case is made up to represent a son of wealthy par cnts, pretends to be deaf and dumb, is put in the way of the gang, is duly kidnapped himself, strikes the trail of the missing child, is deserted with her when the gang makes it's getaway, picks her up in his arms. trudges half way from the Catsllills back to New York with her and reports to his chief
