Legislative, Executive and Arbitra-
tive Branches to Go
Into Effect

Paris, Feb. 4, (By the Associated
Press ss)-President Wilson presided to-
night over the commission of the So
ciety of nations, which had before it
the complete project for constituting
the league, discussing it article by
article.
While there is no authoritative in
formation concerning the details of
the project, the distribution of print
ed drafts among the members has
disclosed the main features, and these
can be summarized as follows:
Two main plans have been present
/ ed, which the members of the
commission regard as embodying the
American views, though both plans
are opposite, containing the best feat
ures from various sources, American,
British. French and Italian.
Both plans are being considered to-
gether. In it's original form the first
plan is generally considered more de-
mocratic, and therefore more accepta-
BILE to the small powers, as it elimi-
mates them from the executive branch
Of the proposed organization and is g
long step toward the creation of an
International supreme court, with q
fundamental basis of codifed interna-
tional law.
The first plan has three main feat
ures.
! First-A legislative branch, il
which the great and small nation:
Il are equally represented, each as I
unit.
Second-An executive branch con.
sisting of two members from each O;
the great powers, United States
Great Britain, France, Italy anc
! Japan, and nine members chosen from
the small powers This gives the ex
ecutive body a total Of 10, of whom
| 10 represent the great powers, anc
Snine represent the smaller powers.
Third-Arbitratio is provided fol
1.-THE determination of international is
sues. In case Of a dispute between
1.-TWO nations, each nation names arbi
traitors, and these two select a thire
arbitrator The three arbitrators thus
chosen constitute tribunal for de-
termining the issues.
The foregoing, on broad lines, i:
, the project which meets with mos
favor among the small nations, al
they would be represented both OF
the legislative and executive branches
It is to be noted that such an organi
zation would follow somewhat tht
lines OF the present peace conference
as the legislative branch is analogou!
to the present peace conference, while
the executive branch is similar to the
council of the great powers now hold
ing daily sessions.
The revised plan makes severa
changes. The legislative branch re
mains the same with the greas ant
small nations represented. The ew
ecutive branch is modified, however
so as to consist chiefly of the great
powers, with two Representatives from
each, to which others from the small
powers may be added when interests
especially affecting them are at issue
The third branch is entirely chang
ed, SO as to eliminate the plan of ar
bitrators and substitute an executive
council of the great powers as a
tribunal for judging international
questions analogous to tne interna-
tional supreme council.

Coblenz, Feb. 5-In this citadel OF
conservatism, this nursery OF Pan
GerTnanism, where the German pats
the American on the back and hates
the American in his heart, many a
tear was shed over the birthday of
Wilhelm H., for they love him here
on the Rhine.
There never was a time when a
majority of the Germans hereabout
wanted Wilhelm off the throne and
now there are few who don't want
him back
one heard little of Wilhelm. But as
time went on, and the Germans found
the Americans a pretty easy-going
lot, one heard or this side and that
about how the Kaiser had made Ger
many and so on. When the birthday
came, one heard from all sides eX-
pressions of sympathy, and here and
there more than a whisper of allegi-
ance.
The newspapers of this, city all
speak tenderly of Wilhelm today. The
Coblenz Volkszoitung in its leading
editorial calls attention to the fact
generally when sovereign has been
deposed the departed Prince is re-
garded as a good riddance and the
people frequently took the precaution
to cut off his head.
"In the German revolution" the
newspaper says, "the abdicating SOW
ereigns are either living among then
people. who treat them as the fore,
most citizens, or they have left many
sympathizers behind"
After referring to last years cele.
brations of the Kaiser's birthday the
journal adds:
"He is spending his sixtieth birth
day in a foreign country. He is al
exile. Some there will be, however
who will think of him with loyalt!
and veneration as in former days, es
pecially when they consider the sat
situation occupied by Germany a
the present time
'1t is not likely that the hope whicl
is still secretly cherished by man
persons that he will return to tn
throne will be realized. On the othe
hand, we trust that the misfortune
which seem to await him in the futur
will not overtake him. may his declin
ing years be spent in pleasanter sur
roundings than at present seem like
ly."
The Coblenz Zeitung has lon,
editorial, the tone of which is show
by this:
'It has been said that justice an
truth are the exponents of revolution
Then let the revolution admit that tn
Kaiser was in no sense of the wor
responsible for this war"

do, that the thirty-year administra

when there was scarcely snow enough

Paris, Feb. 5-One of the most in
teresting phases Of the German prob
lem was the relation which existed
between the army and the revolution
ary chiefs of the country. On the
surface the cooperation was perfect.
The revolutionists gave orders to the
army chiefs. By direction of what
remained of the former imperial gov
ernment these orders were obeyed.
It was obvious that the interests of
both were thus served. r the army
were permitted to go to pot disorder

mean starvation a little sooner than
the official figures contemplate and
counter-revolutions that would oust
the present chiefs from their saddles,
even if Bolshevism did not ensue.
The revolutionary government, OBJ
viously desired to retain enough of
an army under the colors at present
to keep the country quiet.
"The one hope of getting food from
America is in the maintenance of or

pie. They were proud of the orderly
fashion in which this very tame re-
volution had proceeded. Secretary
Lansing told US that food will only
be sent to Germany if we keep or

peated to his audience.
On the other side it is evident that
if Hindenburg keeps an army to-

he will be master of the situation
The revolutionists do not admit this,
but it is apparently a thought well
lodged in every reactionary Uranium
The present need of order appeals

as to the revolutionists. Won Groe-

CAMP ECHOES

Camp Hacoboscam passed into his

there is nothing left but the mem
ory of successful camping season.
All the goods are packed up and put
into storage awaiting the arrival of
another year when old stunts will be
revived, and the old camp fire re-
newed.
The talcum powder was not opened
all summer because there was no
sunburn. and there was no sunburn
because there was so little sun. 1t
even had to rain the last two days.
Fishing was better at the end Of
camp than early in the season. Even
the Chief caught n 14-inch pike.
Mt. Holly people were sorry to see
the Scouts go. The invitation to
return next year was pressing. That
is the sort of record to leave behind.
During the whole summer not one
ease was reported where Scouts had
acted in an ungentlemanly fashion
in the village. nor was there one
particle of unfavorable comment.
Scouts are always gentlemen as well
as good many other things.

only useful to himself but acceptable
to the other members of society.
At the age which Scouting covers.
namely IL to IS. a boy Is particularly
careful in guarding his honor. This
is perhaps best evidenced by his re-
fusal to "Snitch' on his pals or his
gang. 1t is this age of adolescence
when he more nearly approaches the
animal stage than any other. This
expression is used to convey the
thought that a boy in adolescence is
less mindful of the influence of his
actions upon other persons or things
than at any other age, especially so.
if he cannot secure satisfaction of
his desires in any other way except
a means which brings him into col
lision with accepted terms of pro-
cedure as laid down by the grown
ups With this fact in mind the
compilers of the Boy Scout tenets
have used them as a basis and ac-
cordingly insist that a Scout take
an oath to follow the laws of Scout
ing on his honor, and they hold this
up before him as the most sacred
thing in his life
Governed DY Public Opinion.
Scouting is also based upon the
gang spirit. Boys of the age of
opinion of other boys of their own
age more thoroughly and more forci-
bly, than they are by any other kind
of public opinions. especially those
of their elders. If their gang rules
that white collars are sissy" that
goes. II their gang rules that cigar
ct smoking is not the thing 1t has
more effect than all the "Don'ts Of
| parents, teachers or laws. Boys as
rule are not particularly mindful
of the niceties of what they do, as
| they are of the results which they
are seeking. They are of a nature
which must have action and whether
| this action is secured through ac-
| ceptable or unacceptable means is
OF little moment. so long as the ac-
tion is secured To them it is not
so much the question of stealing an
apple from the corner grocery man,
as it is the excitement of securing the
apple and getting chased either by

the other hand the boy will be just
as we'll satisfied and secure just as
much enjoyment spending a night in
the woods. under a competent, clean
wholehearted Scoutmaster and get
just as many thrills.
Boy Scouting, therefore, resolves
! itself into the simple statement OF
furnishing action to the adolescent
youth, under the guidance of clean
wholehearted men, which will be OF
nature to satisfy the natural in
stincts of the boy and at the same
time be along lines which will be
acceptab bic to the adult members OF
our social structure. 1t is the great
est movement to-day, containing the
least theory and the most practica,
means of attainment. 1t is the most
democratic and broad-minded move
ment that has been developed, and
perhaps its greatest recommended
tion is that it does not supplant any
present work for boys, but on the
contrary is an assistance and help
to the schools and religious and So
cial life of every boy who is a mem
ber.
