Letter From Glass.
WYfiiaIn @. McAdoo, who is chairman
Of the national executive committee,
spoke at noon from the steps of the Sub
Treasury building In Wall street yester-
day, extolling the merits of the Boy
Scout movement He read q letter from
Carter Glass, his successor as Secretary
OF the Treasury. in which Secretary
Glass said:
7 am pleased to send you my greet
inss and heartiest good wishes for the
success of Boy Scout week. 1t is need
less for me to mention to you the SER
vices Of the Boy Scouts during the
Liberty Loan and War Savings cam
paigns. As secretary and treasurer you
were personally and intimately familiar
with their splendid achievements. do
want to tell you, however. that the same
patriotic and self-sacriflcing support
which they gave the Treasury dur
ing the first. second. third and fourth
Liberty loans has been continued with
undiminished visor. eliminating In ser
vice OF very real value during the Vic

Scout movement. the youth of the coun-

they deserve the nations thanks. Great.
however, as we're their accomplishments.
greater by far was the spirit of which
their service was born. Their efforts
srrang from the enduring foundation of
the finest ideals OF citizenship and the
most exalted love of country. When the
nations youth OF such tender years so
fully appreciate not only the material
greatness but the spiritual greatness OF
America and the spiritual Significance OF
her institutions. and are willing to make
any denial OF self or suffer any sacri-
fee for the sake OF their country, the
security OF this mighty republic and all
that 1t represents Is assured to US and
to posterity. I can conceive OF no loyal
parent who loves his country and his
child who would not give the campaign
which is about to open under your lead
ership his heartiest support"
Mr.. Edwards said: THE Boy Scout
movement is the skirmish line against
Bolshevism. Every anarchist hates or
ganization. There are more effective pa
triotic propaganda In the Boy Scout and
Camp Fire Girl movements than in all
the other Americanization efforts COM
bined. The officers of the army and
navy OF the future are coming from the
Boy Scout ranks.
