ROY SCOUTS WEEK.

Reports from the treasury de-
|partment show that the Boy Scouts
|of America sold $500. 100000 worth
Iof Liberty Bonds and $50 900
worth OF War Savings Stamps dur
ling the national emergency. AS the
membership OF this organization
now includes 100000 boys. or one
Itwenty-fifth of the 10000 900 young
Americans OF scout age in this
country today, the following potent
hypothesis deserves consideration.
If all the boys between the ages
LOT twelve and twenty-one were
lscouts when the nation called for
their services, they would have
been able to have multiplied their
remarkable record twenty-fiv
times, which means that their Lib
lerty Loans sales alone would have
lamounted to $500. 900. 900 or more
than the first two issues combined.
Truly, the scouts may be said to
Ibe an organization Of national
lservice!

Omsk Government To
Establish Jurisdiction
Over Reds T erritory.

New York, June s.-''We hope that
by next fall the Kolcnak government
Will have established its jurisdiction
over Moscow and other territory now
controlled by the Bolshevista- Our
government is now in control of fully
eight-ninths of the area OF the old
Russian empire. This territory con-
tains about one-third the population
of the former empire"
This summary of the progress Of
the Omsk, or KolchAk government,
was presented today by Prof N A.
Borodin, representative in the United
States OF the mir istry of agriculture
Of the Omsk government. in an inter-
view with representative OF Universal
Service.
The tenacious hold Of the. Bolshev-
list forces on the strongholds of CEN
trail Russia WAS explained by Professor
Borodin as. due to the fact that the
Lenine government has absolute con-
troll of all sources OF food supply,
Once we reach Moscow" he said,
the men OF the cities will be just as
ger 20 join us as the peasants have
been in other sections. The people
of central Russia were tired of war
when the revolution came. They We're
tired mentally and physically. and
aligned themselves with the Bolshev-
lists after the downfall of the kerensky
rovernm ent mainly because that
seemed the only way TO obtain bread.
The Boishevtsts had established com
plete control over all supplies and
over whatever industries there were
in operation. At present there are
very few OF the latter, with the excep-
ton OF munition works"
AS to the program the kolchak gov
ceeds in gaining full control of Eu-
ropean Russia. Professor Borodin said
IL is proposed:
To assume all national debts incur
red by the former government
To accept all existing treaties {Of
course this does not include that OF
Prest-Litovskl.
To convene constituent assembly
as soon as regular elections can be
held.
To re-establish commercial relations
with the rest OF the world.

SATISFACTORY RESULTS
IN BOMB INQUIRY

Washington. June s.-Detectfve-
Sergeant Guy r. Burlingame. OF the
Washington police. reported here to-
day after ave days expended In run
ming down clues leading to New York.
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in the
anarchist bomb plot. While the strict
est reticence was observed in police
circles regarding Burlingame's ind
ings, the impression was given out
that satisfactory results were to be
expected from his preliminary work.
Immediately upon his arrival from
Pittsburgh, Sergeant Burlingame was
closeted with Major Pullman, super
intendent of Washington police. In
spector Grant, and other agents who
are working on the case. for long
session. The only word given out re-
garding the conference was that Ser
geant Burlingame would leave Wash
ington at once to resume his investi-.
cations.
Burlingame left Washington last
Tuesday as soon as the fragments OF
the clothing and body OF the anarchist
who was blown up by the bomb which
wrecked Attorney General Palmer
house were recovered.
The detectives efforts have been d.
rected in large part toward the iden-
LITIGATION of the anarchist and in fer
reting out the nests of the anarchists
who Joined in the conspiracy.
The police are confident that they
havN enough material to insure the
eventual identification of the anarchist
who lost his life here and, with that.
to run down his associates. They say
that, while the anarchist may not have
been expert In the handling OF bomb
mechanisms all the evidence gathered
points to the conclusion that the man
who took on himself the carrying of
the bomb into the heart OF the capital
was a man not only OF striking appear
ancc. but OF unusual intelligence.
