THIS is BOY SCOUT WEEK

TODAY Ardmore begins another drive but
l it promises to be the most popular Of the
whole drove of drives We-the people of Ard
more-are going to raise 5000 this week to put
ArdmOre on the map as genuine, up-to-date,
real old regular boy scout city. That is all that
needed-nOt SIS 900, 600 as some drives contem-
plate, but mere little old $4,000. 1t looks
little, considering the big drives we have had,
but it will bulk big in the benefit it will bestow
upon the rising generation.
With this fund Ardmore will become part
of the great national boy scout organization.
1t will enable this city to have a headquarters
for the scouts, paid executive giving all his
time and talent to the scout work, and thor
ough organization for effective cooperation.
1t is said that there are 800 boys in Ardmore
who are eligible to membership in the scouts
organization Every one of these boys should
be solicited-if necessary-to join. There can
be no better work than that of building up
manlness; and in this movement the boy has
a whole lot of fun while his character is being
developed into something worth while to him
self to his family, to his city, his state and his
nation-and let us say without apologizing to
those "litte Americans" who want to build a
Chinese wall of aloofness around this republic
to the world.
The boy of today is the man of tomorrow,
the citizen who takes the reins of government,
who votes and administers office, who breaches,
teaches, writes, paints works-and becomes
the father of other boys and girls. The boy
scout work helps the boy to grow up useful,
honorable, capable. This "drive' therefore,
should be the easiest ever to put over, and we
bespeak full success for it,

WHY WROTE SCANDAL"

the war nearly every play has peeh

calls the ordinary people l thought
that it might be good idea to give
others a chance. | mean those nepu-
lous creatures who are never to be seen
with their noses to the great nigh win
dows of their pompous and elaborate
houses on Fifth Avenue, and whose
names appear from time to time in the
newspapers as patrons of charities ana
entertainments and who sometimes sit a
little stiffly in the front pages of town
and country
80 Just to be little different and
give these other people chance,
marched boldly up the long flight oil
steps which led to certain mansion
in Fifth Avenue and with that cool
cheek which is part and parcel of the
dramatist's bag of tricks, | used a
family for my own ends and put them
into a play. All l hope is that they
won't recognize themselves and bring
an action for libel againt me.

Enter politics.
President Wilson, democrat, was the
outstanding figure of the world.

Mr.. Lodge loked for an issue.
The senator could not attack the great
features of the League of Nations be-
cause they were built to stop future
wars.
He heard the cry from China and
jumped to it.
He did not know much about It, so
he went to his encyclopedia; he stated
this himself on the floor of the senate.
There he learned about Shantung.

city of Tsingtau, on Kiaochow bay, and
the province.
Electric lights, telephones and other
modern Improvements were installed in
Tsingtau, and railroad pushed out
into the province. German enterprise
was felt.
England got a similar lease and
similar foothold in another port, Wei
haiwei, to the northeast of Kiachow.
When the war broke out in 1914,
Japan went after Germany to wrest
from that empire the territory and
rights she had forced from China. 1t
took eleven weeks fighting, much of
which was fierce, but Germany finally
was defeated and Japan took over Ger.
man interests.
In 1915 Japan asked China to make
a treaty confirming Japans rights in
the province. China was slow about
it, Japan sent an ultimatum, and China
signed up. China signed another treaty
last year, again recognizing Japan's
rights.
China did not like the situation at all,
although there were unquestioned i'm
provements among the people, and al.
though she had made treaties-very
much against her will.
Japan had promised to restore the
rights TO China at the proper time, al.
lowing a reasonable time for proper
transfer, by documents, of Germany's
rights to Japan, and completion of 9th.

Will be acceptable to both. Such may

stated herein.
And it may work out best for China
after all.
China got a sample of German eff
cheney in building and engineering, and
was finally freed of the danger of Ger
man militarism.
Japan took up the work, and il is un-
derstood that the mass of railroads and
rolling stock and mining equipment will
be turned back to China.
Could China handle them now?
Wouldn't it lie a blessing to that
mass of humanity, huddled together
in that small province. to have Using
tau there a sample of a modern civil
lied city, to have the modern methods
of mining and railroading there, all
forced on them against their will and
all left there for their own development

spirit that brought them there?
i Suppose Senator Lodge has his way
and the League of Nations is turned
down. Japan still has her treaty with
China, her recognized rights there
without her promise to the world TO get
out in a reasonable time.
Refusing to ratify will not drive Jo

leaving her to deal with China alone.
