It is gratifying to be assured that
the Boy Scouts viii not join General
Roosevelt's army Of 200, 600 men in an
invasion of Europe, but will stay right
at home, doing the things that have
stirred the admiration Of the public
ever since the purposes of the organi-
cation became generally understood.
The recent order of the National Coun-
ell was misconstrued. Chief Executive
James E. West very definitely sets at
rest the alarming misconceptions. He
asserts that the. order is strictly nom
military and that the trust Of the par
ents Of the boys viii be respected. The
Boy Scouts, in the future as in the past

of their bodies and minds and will be

ism. No local council has any author

To Say Of Boxer
Who Whipped Him

James ]. corbett. whose Illus
trated articles on boxing have ap-
peared in The Times. today paid
tribute to Bob F1tzsimmons. who
defeated him for the championship.
March II. 1897. in the following
words:
with the passing Of Bob Fitz-
simmons. pugilism has lost not only
one OF its greatest exponents. but a
man who was in every way a credit
to the game. Although lost the
worlds heavyweight championship
to this great warrior. have never
said or thought that he did not beat
me fairly and squarely. He was
one Of the marvels Of pugilism. and
1 am sure that am voicing the
sentiment Of all American sport
lovers in expression Of the deepest
and most heartfelt sorrow over his
passing away. We who knew him
in the heyday Of his power know
that he fought gamely to the end as
was beftting the lion-hearted war
rior whose marvellous ring exploits
are now a matter OF history and will
live as long as the game lasts"
