Boy Scout Membership.

A gratifying increase in membership
was noted yesterday at the meeting of
the National Council of the Boy Scouts
! of America in this city. This increase
| during the year was 46 per cent, bring
ing the total enrolment of scouts and
scoutmasters up to 1852. While this
is an excellent showing of growth it
is by no means enough. The boys of
America should be more generally en-
rolled in this organization, and mem
bership of million is by no means out
of proportion to the population and to
the value of the Boy Scout work to the
American youth. A similar percentage of
increase during the coming year would
bring the membership beyond quarter
of million. Advantages Of member
ship in this organization are so mani
fest to any one who is acquainted with
its objects and its accomplishments that
it is difficult to understand why it has
not grown more rapidly. Every COM
munity which has a Boy Scout forma
ton is benefited The boys are better
behaved, more trustworthy, more inter
ested in civic questions, more eager to
be helpful under better discipline, and
altogether more useful both at home and
elsewhere They lend assistance on
many occasions of public activity. Wash
ington has frequently witnessed the
worth of the Boy Scout training, and is
proud to be the seat of the national
meeting and to possess a model Boy
Scout organization.

can convention in some particular re-
publican's favor, what will the bull
moosers do then9 Whatever Mr.. Roose-
welt directs. If the nomination is made
I'm a way to displease him he will be
faced with the temptation to defeat it
at the polls by another independent
ticket. But only Mr.. Roosevelt himself
could give to such ticket any value
as a democratic asset; and it would be
a problem whether even he as the head
of the ticket could do so.
Mr.. Roosevelt is off today on trip
to the West Indies, to be gone several
weeks. He seeks only pleasure, but
business-this presidential business
will, we may be certain, occupy his
thoughts somewhat, as it will the
thoughts of his lieutenants during his
absence. Upon his return he may have
his plans matured, and be ready to put
his friends Systematically to work.
While the bull moose convention at
Chicago may not be large in numbers
nor crowded with celebrities, it should
yet be an interesting body, if for no
other reason than that it will represent
a master politician and be perfectly
obedient to his wishes He is playing
for big stake, and with all the skill he
possesses The White House never
looked to him whittier than now; and he
can see it at all times and from all dis
tances. But the road there for him
presents many difficulties.

The New Submarine Policy.

Germany's announcement. together
with Austria, that henceforth all armed
merchantmen of the allied powers will
| be regarded as warships and attacked
| by submarines without warning leaves
| the United States no choice but to ac-
| cede to this policy of naval warfare and
to do its utmost to keep its nationals
| off such vessels to prevent their injury
marine is a vulnerable craft, easily
punctured, and therefore easily de-
stroyed. A well placed shot from a
small caliber gun may be more effective
against such vessel than a twelve-ineh
shot planted against the side of battle
ship. Therefore, very slight arma-
ment suffices to render a merchantmen
dangerous to the submarine.
It is necessary, however, that there
should be perfect understanding as
to the fact of armament. When a YES
sci is destroyed the evidence of her con-
dition vanishes. The submarine cannot
assuredly determine by her external ap-
pearance whether merchantmen is
armed or unarmed. A gun such as
would constitute menace to the sub
marine might be concealed from view
from the attacking craft, and on the
theory that every merchantmen is pos
sibly armed, many an unarmed vessel,
it is conceivable, may, under this new
policy of naval warfare, be sent to the
bottom without warning If the sub
marine com mander believes he is in any
peril of de btruction he may, under this
rule, strikeI first as precaution against
surprise, and there would be no way
save through the probably disputed evil
dence of survivors to determine whether
the sinking without warning was justi-
fable or not.
Just how this matter can be arranged
so as to make certain that the newly
proclaimed rule is properly carried into
effect is not at present clear. The
United States is, of course, anxious that
the conduct of submarine warfare may
be attended with the least possible loss
of life. If the British admiralty has
ordered merchantmen to attack sub
marines in all cases when possible the
vessels flying that flag will be assured
marks for the German Uboats. It is
hardly likely that Great Britain will
specifically designate certain ships Of
her registry as unarmed, leaving it as
sured by inference that other vessels
are armed.
If the allies feel that they cannot at
this time agree to new definition of
EARNED merchantmen" to conform to
the conditions of war created by the de-
velopment of the submarine, the prob
lem is not easy Of solution.
The hint to Americans is (D to keep
off armed belligerent merchantmen and
(2) to develop as rapidly as possible our
own merchant marine.

The New York Bull Moosers.

The New York county committee of
the bull moose party has adopted the
following resolution:
"That this committee is of the unani-
nous opinion that no delegate or alter
nate be sent from New York county to
the national convention of the national
progressive party at Chicago unless he
shall support Col. Theodore Roosevelt
for President, first, last and all the
time; and that every candidate for dele
gate or alternate shall SO pledge himself
before being approved by this body"
Why, of course. There has never been
anything to bull moosery but the am
bition Of Theodore Roosevelt, and there
will be nothing else to it at Chicago.
If the bull moose national convention
can effect his nomination by the re-
publican national convention it will do
SO. That is the one and only aim. The
repubhr ans know this, and are preparing
to meet the maneuver. At present they
are firmly of the intention to nominate
q man of their own party.

The War Department.

The first consideration in connection
with Mr.. Garrisons retirement from the
cabinet is that at time of great stress
and moment the country loses the
services of a very able and earnest man.
He has been listed from the start as
one of the Presidents most competent
advisers. His opinions have been re-
ceived with very great respect. So highly
was he rated. indeed, that when his
name was mentioned in the speculation
about the Supreme Court vacancy occa-
stoned by Justice Lamars death, it was
suraised, and the surmise accepted, that
he could not he spared from the War
Department. 1t was not known by the
public how strained his relations with
the President were becoming.
As We see now, those relations were
approaching a crisis. The parting of the
ways was just ahead. 1t was reached
yesterday when Mr.. Garrison held to one
course and the Pres dent to another.
Let us not forget or minimize the fact
that the separation was not occasioned
by the dispute alone about the plans
for a larger military establishment
That question was in the forefront, but
close upon its heels and of real i'm
portance was the question of the Philip
pines. Mr.. Garrison was opposed to
scuttle, and viewed with the utmost dis
favor the proposition that, regardless
Of our obligations to the Filipinos and
for that matter to the world at large,
we abandon the islands in state of I'M
preparedness to fate.
The more this proposition is examined
the less defensible it appears. 1t rests
now not upon moral, or economic, or
patriotic grounds, but upon grounds of
frankly confessed timidity and fear. In
word, as the scuttlers believe, things
are getting so warm in that quarter of
the world and elsewhere, we could not
hold the islands by force, and so should
give notice of an intention to ske-
daddle at an early date. The welfare
of the Filipinos put aside, our pride
lowered, and retreat sounded. Need we
wonder that such a step appeared
shortsighted and humiliating to an Off
cial who for months had been engaged
on the problem of putting the country
in condition to assert all of its rights
and discharge all of it's dutiess
Mr.. Garrison's successor, it is almost
superfuous to say, should be man well
known to the country. and thoroughly
qualified for the work that is piling
high in the War Department. Not since
the civil war has that post been SO i'm
portant as now. We have no army, and
need one. We are divided in opinion
as to how to get one. That it should be
of substantial size and equipped in the
best style only the millennialists dis
pute. And it is up to the President to
call to his side man whose judgment
will aid in ironing out the wrinkles and
securing the proper legislation, if that
is possible.

Real Excitement.

All sorts Of strange attentions, 50 per-

The position may seem quiet
When at last you take command,
But it's something Of riot
Till you get It well in hand.
The stories that get started all your
family will deplore;
They'll tell you things about yourself
you never knew before.
Your friends will represent you as a
hero bold and true,
And credit you with deeds you never
even tried to do.
Your enemies will hold you
In emphatic disesteem,
And criticise and scold you
Till your life is like a dream.
More thrilling than the thriller that you
purchase at the store,
As they tell you things about yourself
you never knew before.
