SCOUTS BIGGEST ENROLMENT.

June, 1921, showed the biggest en-
rollment Of scouts In the history Of
the movement, fact which ought to
be matter of pride and congratua-
ton to all concerned. The more boys
that come under the influences Of
scouting, the healthier, happier, finer
will the boyhood Of America be, the
greater the promise of Its future. 1t
Ia not meaningless chance that makes
us hear on every side that boy scouts
aren't In the police courts, that boy
scouts are In the honor rolls of our
schools, that boy scouts are perform
ing this or that civic service. Scouting
rings true to It's aims. 1t not only
claims to fit boys for manhood but it
does 1t, so why shouldn't we be proud
that the Boy Scouts OF America num-
hers an active membership of over
100000. Why shouldn't we salute and
pay all honor to the scOutmaster, the
volunteer leader of boyhOod under
great banner to great goal? Why
shouldn't we say to them and each
other. "Come on, let's make 1t 800
900 by Chrlstmas?'

SCOUTS
THEIR BEST NOW AND ALWAYS
Dem Mnnn Of Cornell says:
Conducted by National Council Of the Boy
Scouts Of America,)

Dean Mann Of Cornell says:
"When the boys Of today shall have
become grown men, the time will have
arrived when this nation will be feel
Ing acutely the inevitable shortage Of
timber for our imperative needs, un-
less In the meantime a new attitude
and a new program for the protection
of our disappearing timber supply
shall have been instituted. The boy
scouts Of today may well exert their
full effort and influence In helping to
assure an adequate wood supply
against the time when they will man
the nation. A first and fundamental
step Is Misunderstanding the
problem and the way out and helping
other persons to understand 1t. Let
the boy scouts use every means to-
ward this end. It is doubly necessary
now that we are again at the begin
ming Of the camping season and the
dry periods.
1.-THE hoy scouts have high ideals
for national service. They know how
to quicken public thought and acton.

tlon and development, which Is so in

well-being as a nation"

Origin Of Name white"

1t is generally supposed that the
name White was first applied TO peo-
Pile of very fair skin, but the fact that
the name is so frequently met
In early English nomenclature has
caused students TO seek anothe;
origin. The theory now put forward
Is that the name White springs from
the Anglo-SaXon Invita-, swordsmith
or armorer. There was man named
'rhorel Invita- who lived In the time of
King Canute, Just a thousand years
ago.

in determining the policy in connection
with universities and schools i'm Bavaria
Is on the high roaA to success.
Meanwhile negotiations for concor-
dat with the German nation as such
have been held in Berlin, and as they
have not a great chance Of success the
Vatican Is able to play on the strong
antipathies between Berlin and Munich
The man of the future in Bavaria is
said to be Herr Won Kahr. formerly
Premier. although he is a Protestant.
But despite this he is intimate in Cath
olic circles in Bavaria, and it is pre-
dicted there that he would take the
lead In restoring the Wittelsbach fam
lily to the Bavarian throne.
France spurred to Action.
The fact that France is sending a
Minister to the Vatican is interpreted
here as showing that appreciation is
growing in Paris OF the Importance of
the Bavarian-Hungaria developments
and that France desires to assert as
much influence in this connection as is
possible
Rupprecht. in so far as southern Ba-
varia and the Tyrol are concerned, would
not encounter any sentiment other than
that favorable to the Wittelsbach
dynasty. Albert also has strong fo-
lowers in Hungary.
But of more serious consequence as
result Of a coup d'etat is the question OF
the International reaction which woulc
follow such an attempt. Should Bavaria
cut herself off from the German Empire
IL would throw her altogether at the
mercy Of France, since she would not
be able to obtain coal from Germany.
and while Berlin believes that an I'M
promptu group in France is exceedingly
interested in such development also
il ia believed here that England would
not permit the dismemberment of Ger
many.
1t is recognized here that the sugges-
ton for neutralizing the Rhine province,
unless 1t is expressly plovided for as
temporary step and merely as subst-
tute for allied military occupation dur
ing the life of the Treaty OF Versailles.
might prove an insidious attack on Ger
man unity. And IL it is unopposed 1t
might easily encourage all of the forces
Interested in setting UT kingdoms in
Central Europe to try to realize their
dreams
The question asked in Berlin official
circles is how far the British Prime Min
ister, Mr. Lloyd George. Is willing to
make concessions to France to get
through an essential program for eco
nomic peace, and the fear IL voiced that
he might yield. as he previously yielded.
and that he might even yield at precisely
the point absolutely safeguarding Ger
man unity.
Also fear is expressed in the same
circles let's the canceling of too much of
the German reparations and the insis-
tence on limitation of land armaments
may be so weakening to the French that
they will renew their efforts to break up
Germany. These considerations. how
ever. lie more or less in the background
OF the German analysis.
