THANKFUL FOR SCOUT TRAINING

From the army of occupation comes thiS word:
 "l am In the medical corps, and what we must know in regard to the han ding of wounded and the first-aid work is taught in scouting first aid. If l did not have the men who had been In scouting as boys and as officials l would have been at loss in picking men for dangerous work such as evacuatng the wounded from the front line trench. Two such have been recommended for the D. S. c. Even in war they showed themselves to be true scouts. The only thing I can say is, Thank God for the scouts, who have always been prepared"
 And Sergt. Edward Pickering Is not the only one who has expressed these sentiments.

SCOUTS HONOR ROOSEVELT

A memorial to Theodore Roosevelt, drafted by Hermann Hagedorn and adopted by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. is as follows:
 He was found faithful over few things and he was made ruler over many: he cut his own trail clean and straight and millions followed him to- ward the light.
 He was frail: he made himself q tower of strength. He was rimid; he made himself lion of courage. He was Il dreamer: he became one of the great doers of all time.
 Men put their trust In him: women found champion in him: kings stood in awe of him. but children made him their playmate.
 He broke nations slumber with his cry, and It rose up. He touched the eyes of blind men with flame and gave them vision. Souls became swords through him: swords became servants of God.
 He was loyal to his country, and he exacted loyalty; he loved many lands but he loved his own land best
 He was terrible in battle. but tender to the weak; joyous and tireless. be- ing free from self-pity: clean with d cleanness that cleansed the air like n gale.
 His courtesy knew no wealth or class: his friendship. no creed or color or race. His courage stood every on slaught of savage beast and ruthless man. of loneliness. of victory, of de feat. His mind was eager. his heart was true. his body and spirit. defiant of obstacles ready to meet what might come.
 He fought injustice and tyranny l: bore sorrow gallantly: loved all na- ture. bleak spaces and hardy compan- ions. hazardous adventure and the zest of battle. Wherever he went he car ried his own pack. and in the utter most parts of the earth he kept his conscience for his guide.

 The treaty constitutes nothing less than world settlement.

That part was dictated by the role America had played in the war ana by the expectations that had been created in the minds of the peoples with whom We had associated our selves in that great struggle.
 The United States entered the war upon a difereut footing from every other nation except our associates on this side of the sea. We entered it, not because our material interests were directly threatened or because any special trea. obligations to which We were parties had been vio- lated. but only because we saw the supremacy and even the validity of right put in jeopardy and free gov erument likely to be everywhere i'm perIled by the intolerable aggression of Power which respected neither right nor obligation. and whose very system of government fouted the rights of the citizens as against the autocratic autohrities of its govern ors"
