WHAT THE BOY SCOUTS DO.

The world interest In the hoy scout
movement challenges the intelligent
understanding of every one, and yet
many people still ask What is scout
ingY" and what do boy Scouts do2"
The boy scout idea is a movement
rather than an organization. 1t aims
to supplement existing organizations.
such as the home. church and school.
by engaging the boys leisure energies
in outdoor games and activities of
cultural and practical value.
The aim of the scout movement isE
to inculcate character. which, though
essential to success in life, is not
taught within the school, and being
largely a matter of environment is too
generally left to chance, often with
deplorable results. The scout move
ment endeavors to supply the required
environment and ambitions through
games and outdoor activities, which
lead boy to become better man, a.
good citizen.

SCOUTS IN REAL WAR WORK.

The Boy Scouts of America is
growing n the rate of POO a day. a
regiment of Youngsters is being re-
corded each II hours ut the national
headquarters in New York city. There
are nov 353.04S of these scouts twelve
years cid and over.
The reason is that the government
has given the boys who are scouts
many real things 10 do to help win the
war. and they have found out that as
scouts they can have definite and
clearly recognized part to play in the
winning of it.
While other hoyS are simply tossing
their hats up or cheering from the
side lines the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea is being called upon by the presi-
dent, the secretary of the treasury,
the war department, the food admins
tration and other branches of the gov
eminent, the Red Cross, the Liberty

ASSASSIN WHOSE
SHOTS CAUSED THE
GREAT WAR, DEAD

Gavrio Prinzip, the assassin
of Archduke Francis Ferdinand
heir apparent to the Austro-
Hungarian throne and his wife,
at Sarai evo, Bosnia, died in
Fortress near Prague of tuber-
culosis, recently.
Prinzip shot to death the
Austrian afchduke and his wife
while they were on a visit to
the Bosnian capital on June %,
1914, and out of this double
murder the European war de-
veloped. Prinzip, who was a
student, was found guilty and
sentenced to 20 years impris-
onment.
Prinzip fired two explosive
bullets from a revolver at the
Austrian heir apparent, the
first striking the Duchess of
Hohenberg, the Arehdake's
morganatic wife, in the abdom-
Ell, and the second aking eff
feet IN the neck of the arch
duke. Both bullets caused death
within short time.
The killing of the Austrian
Archduke is the act that preci-
plated the present great war
that has cost the world somuch
in human bloodshed.
