Most Successful Year.

I'VE have had a most successful year
in scouting in every way in Washing
ton. which would not have been pos
sible except through your most hearty
cooperation. AS commissioner of Wash
ington I extend my greetings and sin
cerely trust that there will be the same
cooperation in the future as in the
past"
The anniversary message Of Colin H.
Livingstone, president Of the Boy Scouts
OF America, to the Boy Scouts. says, in
part:
"A tremendous responsibility rests upon
every scout You are scouts not only
when in uniform, not only while attending
your troop meetings. but twenty-four
hours a day and 1866 days a year Your
community judges the whole scout broth
erhood by what you do. An oath, a Gig
arctic, an indecent story, would injure
not only the scout who was guilty of it,
but every other scout in the world.
THE future progress of the movement
depends upon you. Every scout who does
his good turn makes a good impression
upon some one and helps to spread the
scout idea Every parent who sees
scout doing his duty, cheerfully and faith
fully. will want his boy to become a scout
By next year We should have 300. 900 boy
scouts, at least"

SAYS WORLDS CENSURE
WILL CRUSH GERMANY
French Minister Of Marine, in State

United States Break.
Nv the Associat ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. February 8.-Rear Admiral La
Gaze. minister Of marine. in a statement
to the Associated Press on the German
submarine campaign, said:
1.-THE German submarine campaign can
not. In its spirit and in the quality of it's
acts, be worse than it has been. The crews
Of vessels torpedoed. whether belonging to
neutrals or the allies, have been put adrift
in open boats during all this winter to
die more cruelty Of cold and hunger than
II they had been shot at once. Ships
boats during this season of high winds
and bitter cold cannot keep the seas.
Now. we shall probably have a month
or two Of torpedoing more active than
heretofore. We have had these declara-
tons Of the intention to submarine ships
regardless Of sea rights two three
times before. following intervals during
which the Germans accumulated SUBJ
marines. A large number will be sent
out now; then probably we shall have
another period of relative inactivity, dur
ing which the submarines lost will be re-
placed and those damaged repaired
Sinking of Relief Ship.
Admiral Lacaze had upon his desk re-
ports Of the torpedoing on Sunday night
Of the Danish steamer Lars Kruse, loaded
with food of the Belgian relief committee
for the Belgians and the inhabitants of
the invaded districts of France
THE vessel was torpedoed, without no.
tice. toward midnight" said the admiral.
Every man Of the crew of nineteen per-
ished except one. He was rescued by
French torpedo boat
ma he
said: Here is the report of the tor
padoing the day before yesterday of
Peruvian four-master. with a cargo
of nitrate, within two miles of the
Spanish coast-that is to say, within
Spanish territorial waters"
Admiral Lacaze spoke with animation
of the severance by the United States
of diplomatic relations with Germany
and its Significance for the allies
Moral Weight to Crush.
The most important result" he said
SIS the moral weight of the measure
against Germany's illegal and inhuman
practices. Germany will be crushed
under the moral condemnation of the
world; she cannot endure it. The gov
eminent of the United States has been
holding to even neutrality throughout
this long struggle between the two
groups of belligerents. President Will
son has founded his policy in every
instance upon the principles of right,
patiently expounding and insisting
upon them. Finally. Germany's avowed
determination to place force above
right, to suppress ethical and spiritual
perceptions under material and ego
Hstic aims, has left America still un-
yielding in her contention that the war
klust be carried on under the sanctions
Sf humanity in international law. The
effect is tremendous"
Admiral Lacaze believed that if the
United States entered the war her
smaller warships would do really eff
fective service in hunting down sub
marines.

which you sharply (and 1 think JUSTIFY
arraign Congress for amending the Fed
eraI "Bone-Dry" law so as to make 1t
take effect in July instead of immedi-
ately, struck me as an admirable and
timely article
You should publish another editorial
on the same line entitled "The Perfidy

Bussagarger bill, with the emergency
clause attached. is Immediately passed
by our Legislature.
Congress, as you suggest, has made
Maine a dumping ground for intoxl-

months. But Maine has the remedy
in it's own hands. The Legislature, by
prompt action, can save the situation
and the influence Of the Journal should
be used to cause such action to be taken.
