have achieved, are little understood or
appreciated by the great mass of the
American people. and this applies 10
residents Of this city and state. as
well as elsewhere. True It Is that al
most everyone has some more or less
hazy. indefinite understanding that the
boy scouts keeps the boys out of de-
structive mischief by diverting their
natural energies into constructive
channels. which is claimed by the
scout officials to be productive of bet
ter citizenship in the future" But
there the knowledge Of the average
citizen, even many fathers and moth
ers of growing boys. ceases.
Another fallacy Of opinion on this
subject, is that the entire movement
is intended solely for the benefit of
boys Of twelve years of age, and that
when the boy has reached the age of
from fifteen TO eighteen. there is
neither place nor a desire for him
In the scout troops of the country. Yet,
nothing could be further from the real
fact for then is the time that he is
Of real value. The National Headquar-
tiers has seen proper to place a mini
mum age limit of twelve years upon
the admission of the tenderfoot re-
cruit but 1t should be borne in mind
that the word minimum" should be
capitalized. IL also should be borne
in mind that, in times of private or
public need of assistance which scouts
could-and would-give, the value Of
the twelve-year-old scout in doing
his good turn" is limited by his ply
steal strength and mental scout train
ing As he has just started the lat
ter, at that age, and the former is
small, in most cases, and naturally so,
the value of the scout to the public,
either as individuals municipal. coun-
| ty, State or national officials increases
in direct ratio with his age and train
ing.
The scout. when he takes his tender
| foot obligation, promises to keep him
self PHYSICAL strong, morally clean,
mentally awake, and from that instant
! his whole scout training is along lines
which will enable him to keep that
promise and become valuable 10 his
parents, his employers and himself.
And it is impressed upon him that
there is only one way in which this
may be done, and that is by such a
rigid compliance with the scout law
that, in time, and in a short time, too,
it becomes so ingrained into his mind
that the practice Of each one Of the
twelve items in that law becomes sec
ond nature with him. And the first OF
these is this "A scout is trustworthy. "
That means just what it says, no more
no less. Whenever you see a scout
you see boy in whom absolute con-
fidenoe may be placed

Wilson Opposes :. 5.
Declaration cf War

President Wilson and his advisers
in the Cabinet and in Congress have
no intention that war shall be de-
clared by the United States. By the
hostile acts of German submarines
they believe the Imperial German
Government is actually making war
on the United States, and that it
shall be recognized as such state.
To meet such a condition the armed
forces of the country and all the ma
tional resources are to be put in a
state Of readiness. Then whether
the nation shall enter the war in its
full sense will depend upon how
mucn further Germany carries her
acts of aggression.
In every sense, war, if it actually
comes, will be defensive war, free
from ambitions for spoils or terri
tory, in which the United States, as
the President has publicly declared,
shall want nothing for itself, and
shall seek only to preserve the rights
Cf civilization and humanity.

House Caucuses
To Meet Earlier;
Fight Still Close
Illness or Death May Yet
Take Away Demo
Gratis Lead
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, March 2l.-Republcan
and Democratic House leaders changed
the date Of their party caucuses to-day
to correspond with the change in the
date of the extra session of Congress
The Democrats will meet March 80 and
the Republicans the following day.
The chances now seem to favor the
Democrats organizing the House
though the fight is still so close that
it really depends on chance illness or
deaths. At present three members OF
the House, two Republicans and one
Democrat, are ill. These are Repre-
sentatives Cooper, of West Virginia,
and Hill, of Connecticut, Republicans,
and Gordon Lee, of Georgia, Democrat
Lee was reported TO be better to-day,
so that if the present status should be
preserved until April ., the Demo
Gratis would have at least two votes
better than an even break.
The Democrats are quite confident
that Representative Martin, OF
louisiana, will voice at least for
Champ Clark for Speaker, and L he
does. unless there should be more
deaths or serious illness on the Demo
cratic side, Mr. Clark's reelection is
assured, as Representatives London, Of
New York, and Randall, Of California,
will surely vote for him.

Army Is Prepared
For Instant Action

The army's plans are in less def
nite state, because of the uncertainty
as to what part it will be called upon
to play. General Staff plans to fit
several contingencies have been
worked out, however, and every step
that can be taken in the present sit
uation has been taken. Tonight Sec
rotary Baker conferred with the
President, but the details they dis
cussed were not revealed.
The possibility of Germany extend
ing submarine operations to the At
lantic seaboard has not been under
estimated, but it is recognized that
when she extends her warfare from
the comparatively limited barred
zone to the 5000 miles Of broad At
lantic she so effectively weakens her
starvation blockade of England that
the announced object Of the cam
paign Of ruthlessness will Of neces-
sity be abandoned. At the same time
the submarine menace to shipping
will comparatively decrease.
While il has been generally as
sumed that any aggressive action by
the United States against Germany
and in cooperation with the Entente
Allies would be purely of a naval
character, designed TO aid in the
determination Of submarines and
raiders preying upon commerce,
State Department officials declared
to-day that this country might take
