BOY SCOUTS IN

Strangest Troop Of All in Con.

American Boy Scout training Is aid

of hundreds Of little Armenian boy
refugees from the Turkish massacres,
who have been organized into scout
troop in Constantinople as the solution
of one of the most troublesome prob
lens that confronted the Near East Re-
lief workers In that city.
Hounded and driven for four years,
having seen their parents and relatives
slaughtered or worse by Turks and
Kurds and themselves forced to beg,
steal or do almost anything to exc out
the barest existence, these boys had
completely lost their moral sense when
they finally found refuge In the Near
Cast Relief orphanges.
The boys had been clad in rags for
so long that they had forgotten how to
take care Of clothes. This was tragedy
when the Near East Relief had need of
every pair of shoes and of every suit
of clothes for new boys constantly COM
Ing in.
Then the boys were organized as
Boy Scouts and given their uniforms
They began to be careful Of their
school clothes as well as of their uni.
forms.
They had been so often hungry they
had come to steal without compunc-
ton. When they first entered the or.
phanages they continued to steal. One
boy stole a purse from his American
teacher. For two or three weeks after
he became Boy Scout he was obvious
ly uneasy. One day he came to hei

FOREIGN FUND BEHIND COX
Harding Sees League Scheme to Elect
Democratic Administration.

D
Democratic Administration
Marion, O.. July 31-senator War
rem G. Harding raised the lid from
the Democratic war chest today and
by inferential reasoning, disclosed
there the picture of a group of in
ternationa1 bankers plotting to hitch
this country to the Wilson League of
Nations and thus salvage their Euro
pean war loans.
Mr.. Harding does not intend to let
Governor Cox and his campaign man
ager, Mr.. White, sidetrack the league
issue for he vague generality of pro
gressivism." He directed new
series of questions at the governor to-
day on this subject. The sting in his
statement, however, is contained in
comment on Mr.. Whites announce
ment that the Democratic committee
would not follow the Republicans and
restrict campaign contributions to
$1,000
Z note that Mr.. White says any
such restriction is buncombe," said
the senator. Il have nHsgivings as to
whether our country will agree with
Mr.. White. At any%rate, it will be
regarded as a queer sort of progress
sivism. this poking fun at a sincere
effort to limit the amounts of cam
paign contributions. The Republican
management has undertaken in ALI
good faith to raise a truly popular
campaign fund. 1t is believed that
this will be accomplished and if so it
will be a most notable advance in
political management 1t is true that
with the number of voters substantial
ly doubled by reason of woman suf-
frage. and with the great increase in
expense of campaigning, good deal
of money will be required to carry an
effective appeal to the people. Never
theless, the Republicans have under
taken to raise this money in small
amounts by popular subscription.
They hope to succeed.
1.-The Democrats flout any such sug-
gestion and at the very outset of the
campaign proclaim that they have no
intention of attempting such reform.
They will discover before election day
that the country is not prepared to ap-
prove their program of unlimited cam
paign funds.
''UndoubtedIy. it is quite true that
certain powerful international inter-
ests, which are deeply concerned in
carving out the present adm1nistra-
tons foreign policies, are prepared to
contribute most literally to the Demo
cratic funds Undoubtedly it is true
too. that without such contributions
the Democrats would find it very diff
cult to raise the funds they need. Pop
ular campaign funds are not easily
raised for unpopular causes, and the
effort to hitch America to the present
administrations program constitutes
anything but a popular cause.
Mr.. Harding fOreseeS an attempt on
the part of the Democrats to belittle
the White House conference between
Governor Cox and the president and
the significant announcement OF per
feet accord that grew out of IT.
