SCOUTS
BOY SCOUT ''vETs," TOO.

The veterans used to be gray hairet
faces deeply marked, somewhat
stoop shouldered. one empty sleeve OF
one pinned-up. empty trousers leg
Their deeds are already In our schoo
histories.
But there Is a new generation oi
veterans today. Young fellows, nearly
every one Of them. Not stoop shout
dered; very chesty indeed and with
good cause. Not yet long enough re
turned from the battles to have held
an annual reunion. But veteran
nevertheless. Saviors OF their coun
try. Saviors OF the world.
And there Is q still newer generation
OF veterans coming upon the great
world stage. These have not been "a
war. They may never 60 to war. And
because Of them--in part at least
the world itself may never know wal
again. ~. 49,. s,y.~...,s,
These newer veterans are the younl
fellows who have been I've years IL
the boy scout movement. They ars
nrst-class scouts. They have taken
upon themselves the scout obligations
for life. They have registered with
local scout authorities for service e
the community In any emergency.
Scouting principles imbedded In q
boys nature will continue to operate
In his life whether or not he wears
the uniform and the badge. But In
order that the movement shall aztec,
the quality of citizenship OF the whole
nation most effectively, scouting prin
ciples should continue to operate
through every scout In the active, posi-
tive form which the veteran scout EN-
bodies In his allegiance.

PLANNING FOR RECEPTION
 OF THE ETH DIVISION

Washington, Jan. 23.-With the an- nouncement today that virtually the complete strength of the Twenty -sev- enth (New York National Guard) di- vision, had been assigned for early convoy by General PershinS, plans be- gan to take shape here for an ade-
 quate reception to this first combat division to return. If it is found prac- tical to do so, New York city willbe given an opportunity to see the organ ization on parade at full war strength, with it's fighting equipment, it's recov- cred wounded and it's battle trophies
 before it is demobilized.
 Secretary Baker reiterated today his desire that wherever possible the full strength or substantial portions of | the returning combat divisions parade in large cities in the sections from which they came.
 MT. Baker again expressed a strong | wish that the Forty second (Rain- l bowl divison, now with the American l army on the Rhine, parade in Wash l ington as representative of the entire i country and the whole fighting army 1 Whether it will be possible to ar
 range for a complete divisional parade
 of the Twenty seventh depends on | factors. it was said at the war de- partment, In any case, however. a | substantial portion of the division will
 be paraded before it disbands.
 MT. Baker announced that men of | the Twenty seventh who have already returned, even those who have been
 mustered out, would be given oppor- tunity to march with their conra des

Big Failing Off in Railroad Earnings
Under Government Control Decrease of $370,000, ,O0O From the Record Year of 1916

Washington, Jan. 23.-Railroads in 1913 under government control and unusual war conditions earned about $118,00O,0 900, or S25,000,000 less than in 1917, $370,000000 less than in the re- cord year of 1916 and about the same as in 1915.
 This became apparent today on the basis of definite reports to the Inter- state Commerce Commission of earn- Ings of 195 principal railroads-those having annual operating revenues of more than $1000, ,000-for eleven months and unofficial calculation of December earnings, which railroad ad- ministration reports indicate will be
 considerably smaller than those of the
 preceding months.
 Receipts from freight, passenger, eX-
 press and other transportation during i the year amounted to approximately $4,S13,0O0,000 or $S32, O00 900 more than ln the previous year. Operating eX- penses jumped to about $3,791 000, 900 or about $1119, 100000 more than ir the preceding year.
 The railroad administration account. ants now report that in 1918 the S1,- 11OOOO000 payroll of the year previ. i ous was increased 37 per cent, ani ! that consequently $2,346, 6,O00,O00 was | paid out last year to the two million 1 railway employees. Many wage in. creases were effective for only the lat. 1 ter part of the year. and if these rur 1 through the present year, even witt 1 out other additions which may cont
 from action on pending applications fo | more pay, they would make $7S4000, i 900 additional wages. The wage leve at the end of 1918 was a little nor than 45 per cent higher than at tn beginning of the year when the gov 1 ernnient assumed control.

AN OUTLINE OF GREAT
 BRIThIN'S LABOR PLAN

Paris, Jan. 23-(By The A p Great Britain's plan for the actual working machinery to carry out the proposed internationalization of la hor was outlined today to The Asso- ciated Press by George Nicou Barnes, minister without portfolio, whose pro- posaIs will be considered by the peace conference Saturday. Briefly his pro gramme calls for the establishment of an international commission made up of the representatives of both labor and capital for the settlement of la DOT problems. This commission is to be responsible to the league of na- tIons.
 For example, such questions as the right of the people to form themselves into trade unions might be settled by the peace conference. The matter of the hours of labor and similar proD-
 lens would come before the interna-
 tional labor commission. In case of non -fulfllment of labor agreements the league of nations would be called in to settle the matter
 The international labor commission or bureau, will not deal with purely
 internal problems of the nations. Cap ltal and labor will still work out their lccal differences. as before.
 Asked as to what power the com mission would have back of it to en- force it's rulings, Mr. Barnes replied iii substance that if any nation refused to play the game she might be brought i to reason by depriving her of trade 1 privileges with sister states

ISLANDS SEND
 A DEPUTATION TO PARIS

Paris, Jan. 23.-The Aland Islands, an archipelao belonging to Finland in the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia, has sent deputation to Paris, con- slsting of two members of the General Council of the archipelago, and M. Sundblom, deputy for the Aland Isl- ands, to the Finish Diet.
 When Finland became Independent the Aland population asked the king Of Sweden to re-estaoIish the ancient bonds uniting the Aland Islands to Sweden. The Swedish government proposed to Finland that a pie Nbiscite De taken to settle the question. which then could be submitted to the peace congress for ratification.
 The deputation expresses itself strongly against the Finnish govern ments treatment of the islands in sending Military Governor Von Bons- dorff there with Finnish speaking troops and in treating the islanders as rebels. The delegation today ex- pressed the hope that they would fine i1 the peace conference and in French public opinion support sufficient to re- ahze their aspirations.

 AT ALL AMERICAN PORTS

Washington, Jan. 23.-Plans for the establishment of oil stations In all American ports to facilitate the re- fueling of vessels of the American merchant marine, are under consider ation by the shipping board, ohn A. Donald. acting chairman of the board, said today in an address at a comer- cree Of shipbuilders and operators here, MT. Donald decIated that the lower cost of fuel oil delivered on a ship as compared with coal would serve to give American shipping an enduring economic advantage in com peting with British and other foreign owned ships, and help to offset high CT wages and construction costs pre- vailing in the United States.
 All the steel ships of the Emergen- cy Fleet Corporation now being built are constructed in such way that they may use oil fuel" MT Donald said. This opens up a tremendous field for the application of oil"
