Built for that company's best transatlantic trade, she carried thousands of tourists back and forth between Canadian and European ports. When war called for ships, she was put into transport service and tens of thousands of boys in khaki Anzacs. Americans and Canadians were carried to France and brought back again in the roomy shi? that had been stripped of peace time fittings and finery and con- verted into a comfortable troop ship.
 The Empress of Britain will be given a respite from her winter transatlantic runs and diverted to cruising between New York ard Havana. Colon, Panama, LaGuayra, Port of Spain, St. Pierre.

 can conceive of but minimum number of reasons why there 'can be a war.
 Either the desires of the nlilitar- ists of Japan for personal glory can be satisfied in no other way than war; or the ambitions of the mili- tarists will lead them to policies of aggression to such an extent that the then inevitable Var would in- yolve this country; or~America per mits herself te-reach such a position of isolation, in it's relations with oth- CT governments that the militarists may conclude that we could easily be defeated-if any or all of these cir cumstances become actualities then look out for war.
 ! But Japan in calm intelligence surely cannot afford to make war on the United States
 | And as one travels throughout that l, country and perceives such a mea $ ura of crudeness of method that pre- vails so generally over the empire one concludes that the Japanese would be insane to invite open con flict with us.
 i Then as one contemplates the iacl I that America is Japan's best mar ket, that in the event Of war Japan necessarily would suffer untold and what appears to me, prohibitive com mercial losses, her shipping wollt decline to the danger point, one is again reminded of the utter folly oi such combat.
 1 S Continental Situation
 The situation on the continent of fers another objection to war, from the Japanese point of view. As sooT as Japan would declare war on u: there would instantly be trouble ir Siberia, Korea and Formosa, as wei as in China. In all of these places there is bitter hatred of the Japan ese and this hatred would at leas result in an effective embarrassment to Japan in connection with obtain ing much needed supplies from those places. Japan would be fighting tht peoples of those countries as wei as us, since they are eager for thu opportunity of settling old scores.
 Japan, then. lacking in resource to such an extent that 1t is impos sible to conceive of any sufficient re serves of either money or material to carry the nation through moderI warfare, would have to look upol the Asiatic continent as the soure' of the necessary materials. Japa, would look in vain.
 As we stop to consider all of thes' various economic details of warfar let us assume, for the purposes o convenience, that Japan could oh tain sufficient supplies. where >woul' this war be fought?
 In the Philippines! Of course. w would immediately lose all of ou island possessions in the Pacific. 1 the common impression.

SAY IT WITH PUBLIC JOBS

SECRETARY Davis OF the Department OF Labor,

unemployment. Others before him had had ideas
and had talked about it, but no remedy was forth
coming until the secretary in recent speech urged
public work as a remedy for idlenesS and better

OF its morality.

expensive balls with expensive and variegated clubs
He is out there when he should be in his office or

FOR THE SAKE OF THE BOY

ME "Boy Scout men of this city have expressed
determination that scouting shall remain per-
anenty in Ardmore, and to this end are getting
usy in an effort to reestablish and re-finance the
ovement It seems that everything that is worth
hile costs something. and Scouting is no exception
} the rule but the cost, whatever it may be can
OF in any way be compared unfavorably with the
asults obtained We do not know just how much
ood work has been done in Ardmore-we do know
lat those who are in touch with the boys of the
y say it has done great deal and we are ready to
elieve them The boys who are actually Scouts
been benefited a great deal, and their influence
pom boys who are not Scouts has doubt been
reat.
/ AS we understand it, being Scout does not
npose upon boy an obligation to be "goody
-oody" to pose as superior sort OF creature who
an do no wrong, but it does help in his develop
aent as hearty healthy, husky lad with sense
independence based upon his tested ability to take

A study OF the movement reveals the fact that it
vas created for the purpose q providing opportu-
tiles for the boys OF community to associate with
he worth while men of the community on a sort OF
big brother" basis. The men who known as
Scoutmasters7 or Assistant Scoutmasters' with
he boys weekly and give instruction in the things
.eculiar to Scouting. But notice that classroom
Methods of instruction taboo and the phrase
learning by doing is used in connection with learn
ng the Scout requirements, that is by actually doing
he thing the boys learn the right way to do it; in
tead of sitting in and telling that certain
ind OF fire is built in certain way for certain
purpose the Scoutmaster and the boy go out in the
woods and build the fire and cook their meal on it,
nd while they are doing this the idea seems to be

i According to our information, Scout group is
lot to be likened with boys club organized for
ocia athletic purposes. II is separate and dis
inct sort OF an organization with program OF acvi-
lies which can include social events, athletics, and
III that sort OF thing, but its purpose is deeper and
more far-reaching than that OF club created Tor
