ROBERT J. THoRNE ON SCOUTING

Robert ]. Thorne, president of the
Chicago Scout council, is one of the
country's most distinguished business
men. He Is president Of large mail
order house and director of several
other corporations and banks. Recent
~ In a talk made by Mr.. Thorne to a
group of men interested In boy scout
organization, he said:
"The thing that appeals to me most
In the boy scout movement is the boy
scout habit to do a good turn daily
AS l become more and more actively
int ested In this movement and prac-
tice its precepts with the boys, I re-
alize have been missing a great deal
In life; that I have been living only
for myself.
1.-THE realization that / am doing
something for someone else makes me
the happiest man In Chicago Any man
who has intimate contact with the boy
scouts finds that 1t warns and en-
larges his heart. My only regret is
that | was not boy forty years later
so that could have been a boy scout"

EIREMEN FORM SCOUT TROOPS.

Boy Scout troops are to be formed
and attached to the fire houses In Pas
sale, N. J. Commissioner Preiskel
says:
boy Scout troops are to be formed
and attached to the fire houses In Pas
sale, N. j., We want as many troops
Of Boy Scouts formed In our fire
houses as can be accommodated !
want to offer prize to the fire house
developing the best troop. We want
to set the pace and maintain a lead
on all other municipalities and really
do things in scouting.
81 cannot think of any work a man
could have in which he would be more
privileged or be able to render great
er telling service, than the work of as
sisting in the training of the youth"
The troops attached to the fire
houses will be specially trained in the
prevention of fires, handling of rope
fines, etc. Special requirements will
be adopted for this branch of the
work, with the possibility of the adop-
ton of special insignia for the scouts
who become members of such troops.

SCOUTS NOW IN So COUNTRIES.

Few people realize the magnitude
of the boy scouts as world move
ment for boyhOod betterment. There
are boy scouts now In 81 nations.
When you stop to consider that there
are at present approximately 100000
scout leaders in the United States
alone and that million and half
boys In this country have had the bene-
mt OF scout training during the ten
years since the movement started Won
can see that If scouting is conducted
on anywhere near so great a scale in
other countries the figures are stag.
gering. The fundamentals of scouting
are the same everywhere, so. though
each country Is organized independents
~ the boy scouts is really one great
Dig world movement, perhaps numeri-
cally the largest ever known.

SERIOUS CHARGES
AGAINST DANIELS
DECKER REVIVES DISPUTE IN
ATTACK UPON SECRETARY
OF NAVY.
commandant of Seventh Naval Dis
trict Asserts That Testimony Be-
fore Committee Was Deliber-
ateIy Misrepresented.

Washington-The Sims-Daniels row
over the navy's conduct of the war
was revived on June 20 with the pub
LEGATION Of letter from Rear Admiral
Benton c. Decker, comresadant or the
Seventh naval district, Florida, in
which he charges that Secretary
Daniels In his testimony before the
senate Investigating committee nten-
tionally and deliberately misrepresent-
cd certain attacks of Rear Admirals
Sims, Fullam and Fiske.
The letter, dated June II and adj
dressed to Chairman Hale of the COM
mittee, was published in the Army and
Navy Register, service magazine.
Admiral Decker said he had also
sent copy of it to Secretary Daniels.
Admiral Decker formerly was naval
attache at Madrid, but was removed
during the war. Secretary Daniels
has stated that his removal followed
representations from Ambassador VIII
lard to the state department that he
was encroaching on diplomatic func-
tons in his activities there.
The admiral declared in his letter
that from my personal knowledge of
Mr.. Daniels character, am led to be-
leve that whatever is cited In his
statements to the discredit of the Off
GERS is so perverted and twisted as to
give the actual facts false mean
ing"
"In any reorganization of the navy
today" Admiral Decker continued,
1.-THE navy needs, and the best in
terests of the country demand, that
there shall be placed in the navy de-
partment a naval officer big enough
and broad enough and of sufficient
ability to maintain the standards of
the navy against the encroachments
of the civilian secretaries, who seek
to make of the navy a political or
ganization."

ANNAPOLIS FOUNDED IN 1904
Nova Scotia Earliest colonized Land
In North America, With Excep-
ton Of st. Augustine.

Nova Scotia may lay claim to be-
ing the earliest colonized land in North.
America, with the exception of st. Au-
gustine, Fla, where the Spanish es-
Enlistment was made as early as
1855. Port Royal, now the little town
Of Annapolis, was founded In 1904.
three years before the English settled
pioneers found 1t necessary to sus-
pend their colony for three years, but
the settlement was re-established In
1910 by group of Acadians.
The Acadians were In almost con-
slant conflict with the English. The
colony fell into the hands Of the Eng
llsh twice, and was each time returned
to the French before the English final
ly captured 1t In ITO. The AcadIans
remained steadfast in their hopes that
French rule would some day return,
but their hope was destined never to-
be realized. They, however. persisted
IL maintaining their identity even
against the English insistence that
they abandon their allegiance to their
mother country.
The descendants of the Acadlans,
numbering 100000 are to be found In
Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas,
Georgia and Louisiana. When the
Acadians were expelled from the Basin
of Monas, Grand Pre-, when they re-
fused to take the oath Of fealty to the
English sovereign In 1855. many of them
escaped to the wilderness and later
drifted back to their former homes only
to find them occupied by new settlers
from New England states.

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council OF the
Boy Scouts OF America.)
SCOUTS WANT A BOY CENSUS
led by National COUNCIL OF {
Boy Scouts Of America.)

At the recent annual meeting of the
National Council of the Boy Scouts OF
America, Vice President Mortimer L..
Schiff In offering resolution calling
attention to the need of more COM
plete census of the youth Of the nation,
said that this was "a resolution hav-
ing to do with what probably every
body connected with boy scout work
has run up against, the lack of data
about the youth In this country. As
has been stated, we know the number
of hogs, but we don't know the num-
Der Of boys"
The resolution declares that 1t is of
the utmost Importance that there
should be available for use of the
scouts and other organizations inter-
ested In the welfare Of the youth Of
the nation, all possible data relating
to this subject, and states that inves-
tigation has proved that practically no
uniform data of this sort is available
as basis for thorough study of the
situation and further development of
their respective programs for the serv-
ice of the youth.
1t was therefore resolved to request
that the federal government and the
various states of the United States
shall at their earliest convenience,
through their various appropriate de-
partments, collate and make available
for the scouts use and that of other
organizations such data as will pro-
vide intelligent, efficient and economic
promotion of the program tending to
the making of good citizenship; and
that the United States bureau of edu-
cation, census bureau and department
of child welfare be especially urged to
collate such data as is absolutely nee
essary for a thorough investigation of
the problems involved.
