the war is the only way to secure
a peace that will last for more
than few minutes, was one OF
the most pointed assertions made
by President Wilson yesterday in
the course of stirring address
which he delivered at the opening
session OF the convention of the
American Federation of Labor.
The President was received
with wild acclaim by the labor
delegates when he entered the
convention hall cheering contin-
uing for several minutes, rising
and falling and resembling the
sounds that follow the nomina.

in one of the great national poli-
teal conventions. But here poll.

sentences adduced. .-:.. r

SCOUTS FIND CAMP COOKS

National headquarters of the Boy
Scouts of America recently received a
telegram from Captain Nalling, Platts-
burg trimming camp, New York, stating
that $50 walters and 20 cooks were
needed for the 5000 men. Captain
Mailing added: "WiIl you as a pa
triotic duty assist me in securing these
men?"
Government officials have been quick
to realize that a well-Organized. army
of nearly 100000 boys and men could
be made available for many varieties
of service, and this call to pass upon
cooks is right in line with the scouts
experience and training.
Upon receipt of the telegram, let
ters were sent to all points where it
was believed men might be secured.
Advertisements were also placed in
newspapers, calling upon men who
could do this work to show their pa
triotism by offering their services.
The Fifth avenue building in New
York allowed scout officials to use an
Office on the ground floor, and in re-
Spouse to the advertisements more
than 300 men applied for positions.
There were secured 1875 walters and
80 cooks to report at the Plattsburg
camp.

SCOUTS GUARDING THE PARKS.

Mr.. Cabot Ward, New York city's
park commissioner, and Mr.. Cunning
ham, engineer inspector of parks, have
arranged with Manhattan council, Boy
Scouts Of America, to supply 100
scouts on Saturdays from to 6 p. m.
and on Sundays from 2 to 6 p. m. to
police the parks.
In Central park the scouts will be
formed into four provisional troops
under four scoutmasters who will be
Geputfzed with police powers.
The scouts will work in pairs and
will do general police duty, calling the
peoples attention to park regulations.
In case of any infraction of rules they
will report to the nearest officer. By
assuming these duties the Boy Scouts
will release all but few of the po-
lice whom it has been necessary to as
sign to park duty.

easily back up his statement in an au-
thoritative fashion.
Sir George Wagstaf vouchsafed an
enigmatic smile. He was, to be sure
vitality interested in everything the
newspaper man had said. But he had
no intention of allowing himself to be
startled into making any ingenious
admission.

| Mr.. Brown OF New York.
| In another moment a slight, wiry
man, we'll along in the thirties, came
| breezily into the room. The first glance
! told that he, was an American. His
nervous alertness, his assurance, the
slightly slouchy but nevertheless ag-
| gressive manner in which he held him
self. differentiated him Enthusiastically
from the other men in Ethers sitting
room.
Guy rose to greet him. He had in
vited the American to join the party,
for Guy was almost like one Of Sir
Georges family.
Hello, Charlie!" he exclaimed with
| undOubted enthusiasm.
And straightway he introduced the
| newcomer to Ethel Willoughby. to
whom. as hostess, Guy infallibly turned
first.
You remember my mother?' Guy
asked him then.

heartily as he shook hands with that
smiling lady. Didn't we have a bully
time in Chinatown?'
"Rather"' Mrs. Falconer replied
and they both laughed over their RENT
niscence
To Henry Streetman the American
bowed pleasantly enough And toward
Sir George he displayed the utmost af-
liability.

said as he gripped his hand. II want

says"

assured the reporter
'Spoofing? Spoofing?'' Mr. Brown
repeated in a somewhat bewildered
fashion. he had met many words. |

he had never before encountered in

Georgy Wagstaff, daughter Of Sir
George, of the British admiralty, hints at
liaison between her governess. Ethel
Willoughby, and Henry Streetman. Ethel
denies it. Henry Streetman calls on Ethel
and while waiting for her talks to Brews-
spy. about his failure to get at admiralty
papers in Sir Georges possession. He
phones to German secret service head
quarters. Streetman, the German spy, and
Roeder (alas Brewster, the butler) are
discussing the possibility of war. When
Ethel appears he tries to force her to get
from Sir George knowledge of the sailing
orders to the British fleet. Though she

Mrs. FalcOner turned to him in as
1fonishment. She did not think that
anyone in his senses could have taken
that silly play seriously.
you don't mean you really believe
there is going to be war right over
there on the continent?" she exclaimed.
II do, rather! And I fancy Sir
George agrees with NEEDN'T ySu.

tured. He was determined that if he
did not succeed in forcing Sir Georges
hand he would at least give him
run for his money.
Sir George looked bored.

Georgy laughed gayIy.
"''When father puts on his mantle

was a deal Of truth in her statement |

was no fool. She had not lived with |
her father close upon eighteen years |

how to interpret his every manner.
"But why should there be war; even |

add, to disclaim any such plebeian

Behind that assassination there is
much Of international politics and di-
'plomacy," Sir George explained. "In
fact, it's rather long story"
Then, father. don't tell it!' his sar-
castle daughter bantered. Her plea.
however, was entirely superf1uous. Sir
George had not the slightest intention
of committing such an indiscretion.
