We'd TO DODGE WAR;
BLAME IT ON GIRLS
City Clerk Chills Possible Stacker"
as Rush Continues.

New York, April 10.-The Stacker" mar
riageables today began to blame il on
the girls in New York.
Many of the men between 10 and %
appearing at the marriage license bureau
here before II o'clock today told City
Clerk Scully they had literally been fore
ed into it by the insistence of the girls.
Others frankly stated they did not want
to go to war.
Scully took advantage Of a crush around
his office doors to inform the couples
that marriage at this time will not ex-
empt any man from military duty.
The records of this office are open to
the United States government" he said.
"and l believe they will be used to force
such men as some of you undoubtedly are
into service"
One hundred and twenty-five applica-
tions for licenses had been made up to II
o'clock. The line formed before the Of
flee was opened for business, stretching
down the corridor and taking space on
the stairs. The services of all special

DECIDE TO TELL truth
TO RUSSIAN POPULACE
Government Issues Proclamation Civ
ing Whole Truth" to People.

Petrograd (via London), April 10-The
following proclamation has been issued
by the Russian provisional government:
Having examined the military situa-
tion. the Russian government in the name
of duty and country has decided to tell
the people directly and openly the whole
truth.
The regime which now has been over
thrown left the defense of the country
in badly disorganized condition. BY its
culpable inaction and its inept measures
it introduced disorganization into our
finances, into provisioning and the trans
port and supply of munitions to the
army. 1t weakened the whole OF our
economic organization.
THE provisional government, with the
active cooperation of the whole nation,
will devote all its energies to repair the
serious consequences of the old regime.
THE defense, cost what It may of our
national patrimony. and the deliverance
OF the country from the enemy who in
vades our borders constitute the capital
and the vital problem before our war
riors who are defending the liberty OF
the people in close union with our allies
THE government deems 1t to be its
right duty to declare now that free
Russia does not aim at the domina-
ton of other nations, at depriving them
OF their national patrimony or at oc-
cupying by force foreign territories, but
that its object Is to establish a durable
peace on the rights of nations to decide
their own destiny.
THE provisional government which
has given its solemn oath to serve the
people is firmly confident that with the
general and unanimous support of each
one and all it will itself be able to do
its duty to its country to the end"
The proclamation is signed by Lvofr
president of the council.

MAY GUST GERMANS
FROM HOBOkEN HOMES
War Rule. If Strictly Enforced, Will
Mean Banishment.

New York, April 1o.-If the Presidents
proclamation is enforced to the letter
Hoboken. or "the little fatherland," will
lose a great part of its German popula-
ton. Those Germans who bought homes
in Hoboken and did not think 1t worth
while to become naturalized are now
worrying about that part Of the procla-
nation which reads:
IAN aHen enemy shall not approach
or be found within one-hah mile of any
Federal or State factory or workshop
for the manufacture Of munitions OF war
or of any products for the use of the
army or navy"
Hoboken is known as the mile square
city" Situated within its boundaries are
at least three factories that are turning
out war materials for this country. The
factories are SO placed that it is impos-
sibIe for "alien enemies to be more than
half a mile away from them and still re-
main in the city limits.
1t is estimated that there are approxi-
mately 1900 Germans or German-Amer-
leans in Hoboken.

A BADGE OF HONOR.

One Of the first things boy scout
must learn is the Significance of the
scout badge, and in compliance with
this requirement he learns that the
trefoil refers to the three points in the
scout oath; that the scroll with up
turned ends suggests n smile, for "a
scout is cheerful" and the knot Is Ia
remind the boy to do "a good turn
daily"
This satisfies the requirements of
the test, but it is in fact only n small
part of the significance Of the scout
badge. 1t Is possible that when the
first scout wore the first badge 1t meant
not much more than Is stated In the
handbook, but with every year, as the
movement builds up history and tradi.
tons and record Of things accom-.
plished, the significance of the scout
badge grows.
To-day the boy who goes to strange
place wearing scout badge will not
depend on chance in selecting his com
panions. The scout badge and certi.
ficates give an entree to the compan.
ionshlp of scouts; in other words, II
leads to the companionship Of boys
who are trustworthy and loyal, who
are courteous and clean and reverent
the type of boy with whom any par.
ent Is glad to have his boy associated.

SCOUT ACTIVITIES.

A scout can kindle fire in the for.
est the wettest day and he seldom
uses more than one match. When no
matches can be had he can still have a
fire, for he knows the secret of the rub
bling sticks used by the Indians, and
he knows how to start blaze with
only his knife blade and piece Of
flint. He knows, also, the danger Of
forest fires, and he kindles blaze that
will not spread. The fire once started,
what a meal he can prepare out there
in the openl Just watch him and COM
pare his appetite with that of boy
who lounges at lunch counter In a
crowded city. He knows the unwrlt-
ten rules of the campfire and he con-
tributes his share to the pleasures of
the council. He also knows when ~
sit silent before the ruddy embers and
give his mind free play.
A troops Of Boy Scouts In Lexington,
by quick work, saved the household
goods OF S. L. Mattingly. Mr.. Mat
tlngly's residence was outside the fro
limits and as consequence the house
was burned to the ground. The house.
however. was insured, but the furni-
ture was not. Mr.. Mattingly has ex-
pressed his gratitude to the scouts.
A scout is kind to everything that
lives. He knows that horses, dogs and
cats have their rights, and he respects
them. A scout prides himself upon
doing good turns" and no day In his
life Is complete unless he has been Of
aid to some person.
