BOY SCOUT FRlEED TO TREES

Every boy scout is a pledged con-
servationist. He will not only run
the risk of being responsible for a for
est fire himself, but he will preach the
hows and why's Of forest fire proven
ton wherever he goes. He will not
willfully hack OF injure trees In any
way, and he will interest himself In
lighting tree enemies of all sorts like
the pine blister and the tent caterpil-
lar. The trees are his friends and he
is ready to do them a good turn when
ever opportunity offers.

New York, Jan. 24-William e. (Pus-

speaking today at union ministers
meeting here, declared that the prohi-
bitten law in New York with all it's
shortcomings is better enforced than
TIC old licence law ever was" He de-
clared Europe is more interested in
happenings in New York than in any
OF her part of the Country and that
proper onfo, cement of the law III this

forcement in all the rest of the coun-

Mark you this prophecy" he add
ed. ''If An. RIGA makes good and n,.-
forces the law everywhere as she is
already cntol cling it in most parts,
the whole world will follow in our
footsteps. But if America fails civil

cause Of prohibition throughout the
world is dead for 100 years A shcit

America made good with her prohibit
ton law that England herself would
be dry within ten years" The min
listers adopted a resolution agreeing to
withhold resligious advertising from
all metropolitan newspapers favoring

FORMER Maine GOVERNOR
SEES PROFITEERINC MENACE
IN CALDER COAL MEASURE
LEAGUE COUNCIL
TAKES UP FAILURE OF
GERMANS TO DISARM

Paris, Jan. 24-(By The Associated
Press)-The Supreme council, com.
posed Of representatives of Great Bril-
tain, Italy. France, Belgium and ia
pan today heard the military experts,
and later conferred regarding the fail
ure of Germany to disarm as provided
for by the treaty of Versailles. The
experts were asked to make a de-
taile1 report on the subject, with r.
concentrations regarding measures TO
insure execution of the disarmament
clause of the treaty. The experts VIII
meet tomorrow morning while the
council will, contrary to expectation,
take up the situation of Austria, in
stead of reparations.W
Premier LloydGeorge and Premier
BRAND, it is understood, desire an
opportunity totalk over the different
phases of the reparations question be-
fore the subject comes up for discus
sion in the full council. Thus the
change in the councils program.
In this connection the premiers are
said to be considering whether it is
advisable to have the German repre-
Scntatives sit with the council before
the final decision on PREPARATIONS is
taken. The British delegation is be-
lieved to favor inviting the Germans
to take part in the discussion after
the Allies come to an understanding
among themselves.
Pending a decision on this question,
Herr Bergman, the German dele
gate, it is expected, will confer with
Louis Loucheur. the French minister
of liberated regions and it is report
ed, will make an official offer to pay
two billion marks in gold within a
year, one fourth of that amount in
cash.
The eventuality of German being
invited to sit with the council de-
ponds partly upon Herr Bergmann' s
reply to NJ. Loucheur who will ask
him if Germany has any proposition
to make before the Allies decide on
a plan to enforce execution of the
treaty.
The premiers are understood to be
alarmed at the question of Austria
and will endeavor to find some way
for the continued existence of that
country. The eastern question, Greece
and the treaty of Sevres will be tax
en- up after the council has finished
considering the Austrian situation.

Rockledge, Fla, Jan. 24-Presldent-
eeclt Harding reached here this after
noon in hish ouseboat cruise down the
Florida coast and passed the night as
the guest of Mrs. Harding's brother.
Clifford King, who is a winter resident
of Rockledge.
The houseboat Victoria took her time
during the days sailing down the
sleepy, semi-tropical reaches of the In
dian river and did not arrive here until
after P. NJ.
Mr. Harding and his companions on
the cruise played a round of golf, how
ever, before dinner.
Leaving here tomorrow morning. the
Victoria will probably reach Vero, her
next station before nightfall. So far the
party has done no fishing and that part
of the vacation program may be post
poned entirely until the houseboat
leaves Miami next week on her way
back to St. Augustine. 1t is also pos
sible that the President-elect will spend
several days on the fishing grounds
about Miami
