BOY
SCOUT
II ~
Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
BOY SCOUTS ONE BIG NIGHT

The evening of February is the
date that every boy scout in the land
remembers. 1t is the red-letter date
in his calendar. For it was on Feb
ruary s that the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea was Incorporated, and it is an es-
tablished custom for all scouts to cele-
bTate the event annually.
The custom has assumed the form
of huge birthday party for the whole
organization, starting with or at least
including February s, and continuing
through LincOln's birthday, February
II. This is the eleventh birthday year
OF the scouts. The idea back of the
celebration is to bring more definitely
to the attention of each community the
value of scouting as a program for
work with boys for the development
OF character and training for citizen
ship.
At the hour Of S:15 on February
every registered boy scout, no matter
where he may be, is supposed to stand
at salute and commit himself anew
to the scout oath and law. In most
cases the scouts gather for this cere-
mony in their troop meeting places.
The emphasis Of this celebration is
such as will impress the solidarity of
the movement upon the entire men,
bership, as well as foster the feeling
Of the individual responsibility of each
scout to the organization as a whole.
Heretofore the scouts have stood
at salute when their watches an
nounced 8:15, which, on account of the
difference in time between East and
West did not make the act simultane-
Gus. This year the effort was made
to have the salute at exactly the same
moment everywhere, corresponding to
SIS eastern time, the time of the
clock in the national headquarters.

SECOND CLASS SCOUT HERO.

One of the recent recipients of the
gold honor medal awarded by the
national court of honor of the Boy
Scouts of America is Joseph H. Mar
Gis of East Liverpool, o. While still
a second class scout Mardis, when on
a camp trip, went to a midnight fire
with his scoutmaster, w. B. William
son. As>the two passed along high
tension wire carrying 2,200 volts OF
electricity burned and as it fell struck
the scoutmaster across the chest. Fully
realizing his own danger, Scout Mar
dis made every effort to save his conn
panion, by trying to pull him away
from the. wire. Having succeeded in
doing this, badly burned as he was
himself and suffering intense pain, he
worked over the unconscious and dy-
ing scoutmaster, rendering first aid un'
til he himself tainted.

Thou Shalt Not CoVet.

Some one has said that covetousness
is the supreme sin of today. This is
no new truth, for covetousness has al
ways been the supreme sin of every
age. Through the words of the proph-
cts in Old Testament times, God put
the responsibility for rebuking this sin
on his servants who taught the people
and who led them in spiritual things.
In Isaiah's time, God said: 'For the
iniquities of his covetousness I smote
him" Paul placed covetousness in
the same category as idolatry. The
great sOul-destroying sins recorded
in the Word of God all had their root
in covetousness. Even Jesus warned
His hearers of its seductive influences
when He said: ''Take heed and be-
ware of covetousness."

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Congress Decides an Army of
175,o00 Is Enough, Despite
"YeIIoW Peril"
HOUSE DECLINES TO GROW
ApportIonment Measure Leaves Mem
bership at 435 Harding Goes

Cabinet - BRAND Becomes Pre-
mier Of France and Repara-
tIons Conference Opens
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Congress took action on two import
ant and interesting matters last week.
One of these related to the national
defense. The senate, which had voted
for reduction of the strength of the
army to 10000 men, reconsidered its
vote and repassed the New resolution
directing the secretary of war to sus-
pend enlistments until a reduction to
175,OOO men was accomplished The
house promptly passed similar reso-
luton almost unanimously, and the
measure went to the President. 1t
Was expected, in view of the opposition
of the war department, that Mr.. Will
son would veto it, and that congress
would pass it over the veto.
This is supposed to be measure OF
economy which will save about forty
million dollars a year to the govern
ment. The senate was restrained from
being even more economical only by
representations from Secretary of War
Baker that the 10000 limit would
upset the departments plans for army
organization, and from General Perish
ing that 100000 men was the bottom
limit of safety. OF course the sena-
tors in this connection debated the
''yellOw peril" Phelan of California
asserted the necessity for large garri-
sons In Pacific possessions was greater
now than during the war, while Reed
and williams ridiculed the danger
and said Japan never would dare to
attack the United States without the
assistance of Great Britain.
1t is likely that the latter view is
that generally held In America, except
by the people Of the Pacific coast, to
whom the Japanese peril looms large.
1t accOrds, also, with the expert opin-
ion of the German Admiral Scheer,
who says 1t would be almost impossi-
BILE for Japan to land an army on
American soil. Some people have
grown excited over the murder of an
American navy lieutenant by a Japa-
nese sentry In Vladivostok. There is
no doubt that this affair will be set
tied automatically, though the sharp
note from Washington, virtually ques-
tioning Japan's right in the Siberian
city, may result in an acrid exchange.
The arbitrary actions Of the Japanese
authorities in Vladivostok, which they
hold under military rule, have caused
a good deal Of irritation-but the gov
eminent in Tokyo is too smooth to
permit them to lead to hostilities with
the United States.

The other interesting congressional
action was taken by the house on
"Wednesday, when it decided by
vote Of 267 to 76, that during the next
ten years it shall be composed of the
same number Of representatives as
now-435. The plan of apportionment
adopted provides that eight states
shall gain in representation and elev-
en- lose. California gets three more
members, Ohio and Michigan two more
each, and New Jersey, Connecticut,
North Carolina, Texas and Washing
ton one each. The losers are Missouri,
two; and Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky,
Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska,
Rhode Island and Vermont, one each.
Because the population has been
drifting from the farm to the city, the
agricultural constituencies of the West
and South are the ones that suffer
most In loss Of representation. The
congressman from those regions were
the chief opponents of the measure.
and their main argument was that the
census, being taken during the war
period when the young men of the
country had been drafted or attracted
TO the cities by high wages, was unfair.

SCOUTS GUARD UNIQUE TREE.

The only specimen of a trailing juni-
per tree left in Pennsylvania has been
placed under the care of the boy
scouts of ElizabethtOwn. 1t is on a
farm near that town, is a little less
than two and a half feet high, yet has
a spread of 40 feet, and covers over
1000 square feet. Prof. J. S. Illick,
chief of the research bureau of the
department of forestry, who recently
saw the tree, estimates that it is at
least 165 years old.

which will enable them to compete
with German, American and English
products. Many of the factories
and mechanical lines began in Decem-
Der to dismiss their workers gradually

them weekly.
When the employees inquired why
this was done they were informed that

Bishop Cohalan of Cork takes a
pessimistic view of the Irish situation,
saying he sees no prospect of peace.
Nor is there any so long as the Irish
persist in their demand for independ-
ence and so long as the present Brit
ish government lives. The British
authorities are making this plain in
every way possible. Not day passes
without raids in Ireland in which mill
tant republicans are captured and
arms seized, and on Thursday a num-
Der Of Sim Fein centers in London
were raided. Ambushing and Staying
Of officers by the Irish also continues,
and now the government is making Off
cial the reprisals hitherto only con-
doned. In Cork two houses where
members of the c0nstabulary were at
tackled were destroyed by the mill
tary forces. The British military au-
thorities in Dublin have issued a proc
lamation declaring that If bomb and
firearm attacks on crown forces in mo-
torcars do not cease, 'known rebels
will be carried as hostages for the
safe conduct Of the occupants Of all

Congressional committees are af-
ter A. Mitchell Palmer, with the pur-
pose of at least giving him an un-
pleasant quarter Of an hour. Last
week the attorney general was called
before the senate judiciary subcommit-
tee to reply to charges Of illegal and
unauthorized practices by the Depart
ment Of Justice in its activities against
the Reds. Ostensibly, Mr.. Palmer was
summoned merely to express his opin-
ion Of Senator Frances resolution for
a general amnesty for political pris-
oners. He opposed the resolution be-
cause, he said, the government was
already doing all 1t could In this line !;
he favored the repeal of the espionage
act, but said there should be perma-
nent legislation to protect the govern
ment from violent radicals. The France
resolution strongly condemns the prac-
tices Of the department of justice, and
In reply Mr.. Palmer made sweeping
denials Of the charges and produced
reports Of his agents to prove them un-
founded.
Samuel Untermyer recently accused
the attorney general of malfeasance.
In an interview Mr.. Palmer said he
did not know show far Mr.. Untermyer
is actuated in his present attack by
the recent conviction of his friend
and former associate, a member of the
New York bar, for conspiracy to vio-
late the trading with the enemy act,
in case in which Mr.. Untermyer
very earnestly pressed me to with
hold action at the beginning"
Mr.. Palmer says that Untermyer
was opposed to taking over enemy
property and once threatened him
when, as alien property custodian, he
declined to yield to the lawyers re.
quests.

There is no rift in the black clouds
that overhang Austria. The Austrian
section of the reparations committee,
which expects to report to the allied
premiers this week, are said to argue
that the situation must be -remedied
by stringent measures to bring about
the free interchange of products be-
tween Czecho-Slovakia, Roumania,
Austria and Hungary, or Austria is
doomed to starve, unless the world is
willing to continue to feed it through
charity.
The workers of Austria, who de-
mand the stopping of profiteering, also
demand a plebiscite on the question
of fusion with Germany-which the
peace treaty forbids. Finance Min
lister Grim in a speech last week de-
clared that union with Germany would
be brought about of necessity, perhaps
by means Of a revolution, unless for
eign credits to Austria were soon forth
coming.

They contended that a new census,
taken after readjustment was COM
plete, would show that the farming
states had recovered their lost popula-
tion.
Always, when reapportionment is in
order, the South fears that it will suf
fer through application Of the constitu-
tional provision which authorizes the
house to reduce representation from
any state that denies or abridges the
right to citizens Of the United States
to vote. This time Tinkham Of Mas
sachusetts sought to have the provi-
sion written into the bill, asserting
that several southern states denied
their negro citizens the right Of suf-
frage. But nothing came Of it and the
South breathed easier.
Mr.. Harding has departed for Flor
ida without making public his cabinet
selections, but before leaving Marion
he said he might be able to announce
the personnel Of his official family af-
ter settling down In st. Augustine next
month. He declined to discuss the
attempt Of certain senators and others
to induce him to substitute Elihu Root
for Charles e. Hughes as secretary Of
state, and indeed he never has said
that he had chosen Mr.. Hughes for
that place, though 1t is taken for
granted by some of the correspond
ents. One rumor Mr.. Harding did dis
pose of-that there would be Demo
crat in his cabinet. He said the men,
bers would all be Republicans, but
would not be selected solely because
Of party obligations. Fred Upham,
treasurer Of the Republican national
committee, is responsible for the state,
ment that one and possibly two men,
bers of the cabinet will be from the
South.
The Republican majority in the SEN
ate has decided that no more Of Presi-
dent Wilson's army and navy appoint
ments shall be confirmed, with the
exception of some 5000 minor officers
commissioned under the army reor-
ganization act. The appointments of
eleven major generals and of hun
dreds Of high army and navy officials
in bureaus and departments will not
be acted on. They will be left for the
Harding administration to handle.
