NO TRIAL FOR HINDENBURG
Each Crime to Be Specified, Ber-
lin Cabinet Tells the Allies
Witnesses Scattered.

Berlin, Feb. 2O-Germany intends
to prosecute vigorously every man on
the extradition list against whom
there is prima facie evidence of the
commission of crime. But Germany
has no intention whatever of institut-
ing proceedings against Genera. Won
Hindenburg, Bethmann-Hollweg and
other leaders unless the charges
specify individual crimes.
Following the session Of the cabinet
which considered the last note of the
allies, Eugene Schiller, minister of
justice, left no doubt regarding this.
He said Germany was determined 20
hasten as much as possible, but that
the difficulty of locating witnesses,
some of whom are in distant colonies,
forced delay.

RosT. J. THoRnE ON SCOUTING.

Robert J. Thorne, president Of the Chicago scout council. is one of the country's most distinguished business men. He is president of large firm and director of several other corpora tons and banks.
 Recently, in a talk made by MT. Thorne to 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 I become more and more actively interested in this movement and prac- tice it's precepts with the boys, real ize have been missing great deal in life; that have been living only for myself.
 sHThe realization that I am doing something for someone else makes me the haphest man in Chicago. Any man who has intimate contact with the boy scouts finds that 1t warns and enlarges his heart. My only regret is that was not a boy forty years later, so that I could have been boy scout" "

SCOUTING AND THE OUTDOORS
,ted by National Council
 Boy Scouts of America.)

At the farewell luncheon given by the Far Western Travellers association on the day of the departure of the five Greater New York Boy Scouts of America who are the guests on a trip to the national parks, James B. West, chief scout executive of the Boy Scouts of America, in an address said In part ::
 '@This trip which these five scouts are to make is of great importance because it has back of it great idea. Scouting has as part of it's program the 0ut-Of-do0rs activities. Indeed. scouting Is an outside program. It in. stills into the youth of our country an appreciation of Gods natural beau ties, of things which are given to us through nature, and we hope we are giving great contribution to our land. It is because of this that we felt en- thusisastic about participating in this proposition.
 "In addition to giving propaganda about the beauties of the outdoors, we are also helping in the movement to make known eur great national parks and predict that as these boys go from city to city where we have scout organizations and where they make presentations, giving their point of view of the significance of it all there Is to be put into motion a mighty force for the extension of this outdoor move ment. not only affecting the youth. but adults, and 1t Is our plan in connection with their trip to give them an oppor- tunity in each of the large cities through which they pass to tell just this thing to our scouts and to their parents and friends.
 T predict, gentlemen. that you will find you have made an investment the importance of which you had not con templated and that you will feel fully satisfied because you have done some thing very much worth while. May I express the hope that, because of the values that you will get from sending these boys, representing thousands of boys. to mingle with other scouts In all parts of the country and carry out our program, you will receive the con vicuen that, after all, working with the youth of America is very much worth while"

SCOUTS AND JUVENILE COURTS.

Franklin Chase Hoyt, presiding jus. tice Of the childrens' court, New York city. and one of the country's leading authorities on juvenile delinquency. says:
 "Coincident with the rapid develop ment of the juvenile court there has sprung up a national movement which has, I believe, done more to pave the way for the juvenile court than any other agency. This movement is that of the Boy Scouts of America. This is nest practical method, it seems to me, for needing the scriptural ad- monition that we overcome evil with good; that we crowd out the evil by filling in with good. The juvenile court has to deal with actual delin- quencies and often must employ dis cipline. The Boy Scout movement, however, successfully lays hold of the very traits in boys that lead them into mischief, and proves that these same traits can function in a better direction.
 Both the juvenile courts and the Boy Scout leaders have grappled with the same problem. The Boy Scout movement is not primarily concerned, however, with reformatory work. IT fact, it Is not directly concerned with any such work at all. The Boy Scout movement is suitable to every boy from every kind of home. That means. of course, that it is most valuable agency for those who are concerned with prahIayns of rafor1nafory yyork with boys"

 They are so sweet and gentle" said Peter Gnome.
 And saw some beavers, quite colony of them," said the weather. ''They didn't complain of me-"
 sNo." said Peter Gnome, "they have too much sense. Though don't like to say people haven't much sense, for they have a great deal, in one way they're very foolish.
 ''If they only knew that 1t did no good to grumble about the weather" Peter Gnome continued. "If they only would understand that the King of the Clouds and old Nurse Fog and the Mist Grandchildren and the Winter boys, such as old King Snow and Prince Sleet and all had to have their time around once in while, and that it was very foolish to grumble."
 "What I can't understand" said the weather, ''is this. In the first place I've been here for years and years and
  been Old Man Weather, I am older than these creatures who grumble. Parents tell their children to respect their elders. They tell them not to be rude and so forth.
 "But they don't tell them they should be polite to Old Man Weather. They don't tell them that at all. And they don't set the children good example. They grumble great deal more than the children, great deel more. It is dreadful the way they grumble.

He was evidently an ex-soldier and an art lover. The first you could tell by the American Legion button he wore. the second by the artistic touch in his manner and theme of speech.
 Another youth was sitting near him on the steps of the city library. He may or may not have sought art as Emerson paints 1t for us.
 "Didja see the Louvre when you were in Paris" asked the youth who may or may not have cared for art.
 "Yah," replied the ex-soldier. And. say, don't believe this stuff you hear about it bein' fine gallery. I went all through it, and it ain't nothin' but big department store"
