rench Adopt u. S.
Boy Scout Training

The French government is preparing
a general system of physical and moral
training along the lines constituting
the national programme Of the Boy
Scouts of America, according to a
cablegram, made public yesterday at
Scout National Headquarters here, re-
ceived from Stephen Pichon, Secretary
cf Foreign Affairs in France. The Boy
Scout organizations in France have
been united into a federation, the mes
sage added.
In the American forces in France
there are, it is estimated, more than
100000 soldiers who were Boy Scouts
CT America or scout officials. "The un-
usual ability of former scouts who now
are privates and officers in French and
Allied armies to take care of them
selves in the trenches and to get out
of and help others out of tight places
in field operations has been very
Noticeable and is largely responsible
for the official recognition that has
just been given by the French govern
ment to the effectiveness of the scout
programme" statement issued at
scout headquarters yesterday said.

Assures Serbs
True Freedom Pledged
Hope for Solution of Balkans
Problem When Hun Is
Beaten Is Expressed

LONDON, July 25.-A. j. Balfour,
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, speaking
to-day at meeting to inaugurate the
Serbian War Aims Committee of Lon
don, said now that the world has had
time to consider the underlying liffer-
ences in ideals which separated civil
lzed mankind into two bitterly opposed
camps, it had come to realize that per-
haps the most important of these diff
terences was the treatment that should
be accorded by great states to small
states and by all states to each other.
1t was Austria's unprovoked attack
on Serbia and Germany's attack on Bel
gium,. he declared, which awoke the
conscience of civilized mankind to the
terrors which militarism had for man.
kind in the future and had gradually
brought in one nation after another to
resist the forces which would have
drawn them all under the heel Of
Austria's master-the German Empire.
There was no comparison possible
between what l. German victory would
mean and what an Allied victory would
mean. Nothing could be more certain
than that in proportion as the Alli,s
were successful so would spread the
Allies ideals of national liberty, de-
velopment and independence. Nothing
could be more certain than that in pro-
portion as the Germans were success
full so would the area under German
domination-econom cultural and po-
litical-spread miasma over the whole
civilized world
"On the result of the struggle for
the supremacy of these two IDEALS"
said Mr.. Balfour-"the one from
heaven, the otheI from hell-depends
the fate of the world"
The Foreign Secretary hoped that
one of the results of the war would be
the solution of the Balkan problem.

kan states will share the Allied tri-
umph, and when peace is declared
not German, nor British, nor a
French peace, but the peace of civiliza-
tion-they who, with US, have poured
out their blood and treasure in the
struggle will enjoy the fruits of their
labors.

the sacrifice has been, that it was
worth it, because the result will be to

Marines, Listed Dead, Live

WASHINGTON, July 25.-General
Pershing in a cablegram to the War
Department to-day corrected an error
in the American communique of July
whereby thirteen officers and men of
the Marine Corps were listed as hav-
ing been awarded the distinguished
Service Cross posthumously. The
names should have been listed with
those who survived the engagement in
which they distinguished themselves.
The error, the War Department an
nounced, was due to the omission of a
paragraph of the communique.
The officers and men incorrectly list
ed as dead were:
Captains Keller f. Rockey and John
N. Fay, First Lieutenant Edward Y.
Hope, Assistant Surgeon Richard
O'Shea. Surgeon Paul T. Dessese. Ser

trate on Building Her

AMSTERDAM, July 25.-The qucs-
tion of whether the United States will
JON Great Britain in the latter's pro-
Jected economic war after the war is
discussed by Phillip Heineken, director
OF the North German Lloyd. in the
annual Just issued by that corporation.
The writer approaches the question
cautiously, saying that American in
oustrlal organizations are understood
10 be already preparing to resume in
ternatlonal commercial intercourse
after the war. He believes that Ameri-
cans are too practical business men
to exert themselves to hamper German
shipping interests and that their main
efforts will be concentrated rather on
creating for themselves mercantile
fleet commensurate with the magnitude
OF, their country. He says that this
mercantile feet has already become q
national demand in America.
The writer further expresses the
opinion that Germany has nothing to
fear commercially from the North At
lantic shipping pool formed last Jan
uary, because it principally concerns
passenger traffic. Relative to imported
labor, he considers that America re-
'haiHs uePeIiueHC upon AuSVila II uA-
gary, Poland and those parts of the
former Russian Empire which will in
future be closely allied to the Central
Powers. The latter, however, will need
all the labor from those sources for
themselves, he says, and consequently
will exercise strict control of emigra-
ton.
Herr Heneken urges that the gov
ernmcnt rescind the favored position
enjoyed in Austria Hungary by the
Canadian Pacific and Cunard lines, and
adds that German shipping enterprises
should be favored there.
