BOY SCOUTS co ABROAD.

Over three hundred Boy Scouts, at tended by fifty Scout Leaders. have left this country to participate in the junior olympiad and international conference of Boy Scouts in London. The contests will be between boys from thirty-three nations. The King and Queen of England and the mon- archs of Belgium will review them.
 There are over 400. 900 Boy Scouts and Leaders in America. The repre- sentatives sent abroad are exactly like the boys we see wearing their scout hats about the streets of New Britain. They arc lads who have been selected as best representing the boys of this land. There was an ele- ment in the selection, undoubtedly. that makes it a bit unfair as all hu- man selection must be. Physique and appearance must have had a great deal to do with it. But the idea of the lads of America competing with others from all over the world, un- der the auspices that will manage this affair. brings it's inspiration.
 The Boy Scout movement has had wonderful growth. and the members of the organization have grown with it. One cannot disassociate the idea of the journey of these lads. from the sailing abroad of the American army. many Of them little older than those who have just gone to take part in the contest so different
 Few of the army. probably. were ever Boy Scouts. The movement is too new. But if America ever is again forced to send its men across the seas to light in such a just cause she will have that much better army because of tho existence and develop ment of the Boy Scouts in this country.
 The leaders of the Scouts deserve q word of praise that is too often withheld. Their first qualification must be an understanding of the complex psychology of the boy mind and a desire to appeal to it through right channels. Infinite tact must be shown in drawing the line between what Is manly and what is rough. Infinite tact must be shown in making , the lads understand that a strong ! man or boy is no less strong because he is gentle and courteous.
 These leaders have. perhaps, a more delicate task than have teachers in schools. for theirs is the duty of training the boy in action and thought regarding matters qf every day nfe'

RATS.

We hate rats pretty violently. But now comes news that will more than justify a hatred more intense.
 A member of the Bureau of Bio- logical Survey calls the house rat the most destructive animal in the world. and declares that the rat is respon- sible for more deaths among human beings than all the wars of history.
 After citing many of the great plagues, spread by rats. the expert says that buildings should be con- structed so as to exclude rats from shelter and food. He urges that this be done individually, and that there after community attempts to destroy them win bring satisfactory results.
 Probably few people will need to be urged to protect themselves against something that has been proven to be so deadly. Most people like cleanliness. But most people get pretty tired during a day of hard work. inside or outside the home.
 But the rat never tires of food, and dirt rather attracts than repeIs him. If this little warning causes someone to take a bit of extra pre- caution as to protecting food from rats, and as to thus protecting them- selves, it will be worth while.

Is a wise solution of the trouble. but the Soviets arc not inclined to con- sider anything that is wise which con- templates fairness, apparently. The proposal to fix boundaries by con- ference of all the border states. after the armistice had been entered into would undoubtedly meet with Po- lands desires. She has been ready at all times. and Is ready now for peace with justice.
 The allegation is made that Polish armies are now fighting the mobilized forces of Russia, the latter armed with far better implements of war fare than are the Poles and outnum- bering the latter six to one. Yet un- der this handicap the Polish state ment is not hopeless. Their leaders have the courage to refuse to see in- evitable defeat.
 Theoretically. it is repeated. this plan Of the Supreme Council seems a wise one. But we have only to re- member back to plans for an armi- stice with the Germans to see again the possibilities for disaster to Po- land. Where there is treachery on one side and q willingness to play fair on the other there is always such a danger.
 Possibly the Polish armies have plans for last defensive in which their leaders have absolute confidence. A withdrawal within their Legitimate boundaries might render these plans unavailable. IL is asking a good deal of them to give them up, even in view of the promised aid of the Allies if the Soviets fail to keep to the spirit and letter of the law.
 The aid of the Allies would un- doubtedly make Poland victor in the end. But were they to withdraw now under the terms of the armistice, whatever war was subsequently waged. Allies or no Allies. would be in Poland proper.
 Consider the condition of France today-the condition of Belgium. Both are a mass of ruins. It has taken long and the work is still in progress to restore the fields. The buildings, old and almost reverenced, will never be restored.
 It is this possibility that Poland has to face under the proposal of the Allies Wise though it seems to be, Poland cannot be blamed for hesitat- Ing about adopting its terms when one considers the nature of the enemy she is facing.
 Even with the aid of the Allies there would be terrible devastation to the home land before the Soviets could be stayed. Considering the com paratively vast number in the Soviet armies, and considering the time it would take to get the men of the Allies Into action. Poland will not be blamed for hesitating to agree quick ly to the plan of the Supreme Council.

PREMIER LAUDED
BY FRENCH PRESS
Return to Clemenceau Policy
Meets With Approval.

PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE French press
today generally lauded Premier Miller

conference at AK Les Bains.
but he got his little old two-century
The most important result OF the
meeting is the return to the policy of for
mer Premier Clemenceau, demanding
strict execution of the treaty of Yer
sailles," said the newspaper L'Homiae
Libre.
There remains Premier Lloyd George.
but he is clever enough TO change his
policy when it is necessary.
Undoubtedly, we shall have from him
within the next month a speech con-
demning concessions to Germany"
Former Premier Clemenceau owns

1t is understood Premier Lloyd George
will come TO Paris soon, possibly at the
end of this week, TO confer with Premier
Millerand on issues that were involved In
the AK Les Bains conference.
One of the chief objects, as the British
premier sees it, is to secure united

MIKE DIDN'T

NJ. r. Foley, member of Governor
Goodrichs Board of Control of the north
prison, and counsel for the street car
company, which is seeking incres sed
rates from Governor Goodrichs Public
Utility Commission, has been misquoted
by the Daily Times, and for obvious rea1
sons feels he should be set right before
the people of Governor Goodrichs
parish
In an account ola meeting held Sept
49, at the Denison Hotel, Mr.. Foley was
quoted as having referred to- the indie
fensible deal by which his friend, Jim
Goodrich, and other unloaded a $4,000
garbage plant on the sanitary district Of
Indianapolis for $175,000.
OF course Mike never did anything of
the kind He could not do so and re-
main with the pardoning Governors
Board of Control of the prison and he
could not talk about such matters and
retain his usefulness to the street car
company.
Mr.. Foley is now engaged in making
speeches in accordance with the News
Hoffman bureau directions, combining his
attention to the League of Nations and
such other campaign issues as will not
in any way trespass on the feelings of
his Republican friends.
Several persons who were in the audi
ence at the hotel are still of the opinion
that Mr. Foley did make this reference
to facts which have never been denied
by the persons involved and the truth OF
which is not even contested. but Mr..
Foley hastens TO disavow any reference
to them In the following language:
Sept. IA, 1920
Editor Indiana Daily Times-In the
issue of the Indiana Daily Times Of
Monday, Sept. IS, in referring TO
political speech made by me at the
Denison hotel, I'm this city, you say:
He referred to the~sale at Indian
apolis Of the $4,000 garbage plant
for $4,000 by Gov. James p. Good
rich and others as one Of the fea-
lures Of the State administration
take this method Of informing
you and the general public that
made no such statement. In fact,
did not refer to Governor Goodrich
personally or mention his name In
connection with the garbage plant,
nor did ! speak upon that subject.
In my political speeches have
always refrained from making per-
sonal attack on any person or officer
and try to confine myself to the is
sues as ! see them In the campaign.
Yours truly, NJ. b. FoLbA.
