 LA witness, gentlemen, may contra dict himself without being liar. 1. for example, would have sworn when I entered court this morning that I had my watch in my vest pocket, but I no w remember that left it on my desk at home.

SCOUTS
BOY SCOUT SETS EXAMPLE

A busy man Of large affairs, witness
of the following incident. was so Inn
pressed with It's significance that he
personally has written this account:
ION one of the large green buses
of the Washington Rapid Transit COM
pany last week, coming down Six
teenth street on its way to Pennsyl-
vania avenue. every available seat was
taken and no one was standing. At
the next stop lady boarded the bus.
A small boy seated near the window
just beyond lady who occupied the
end seat. promptly arose and offered
his seat to the new passenger. who
protested saying:
~'Oh. do not give up your seat for
me, little lad. You are little lad and
am woman Keep your seat
".No,' said the lad. I can't do
that Already he had left his seat
and the lady proceeded to take 1t.
"She said, L am interested to know
why you gave the seat up to me-
"'Well. said the lad. there are two
reasons. In the first place, you are
lady, and 1 am boy. In the second
place l promised to do It.
"'You promised to do itr said the
promise and whyT
"'Well,' explained the boy, you see
1 am a boy scout, and 1 promised my
scoutmaster to give my seat to lady
or small child on board street cars and
buses when there was no other seat
to be had
"'Well, that's fine; but how long do
you expect to keep your promiser
asked the lady.
"'Oh. expect to keep It all my life.
That is how long / promised to keep
It, replied the lad.
"'Oh, yes, you see,' said the boy, If
you were my mother or my sister,
certainly would give either Of them
my seat rather than have them stand
up, and II anybody let my mother or
sister sit down when the bus was
crowded, certainly would be obliged
to them for doing so. Anybody would
feel that way about 1t for his mothers
and his sisters sake"
During the conversation everybody
ON board the bus listened. The effect
was instantaneous. Every lady that
boarded the bus thereafter got seat,
and when the vehicle arrived at Thir-
teenth street and Massachusetts ave-
nue., not man occupied seat. Eight
of them were standing In the aisle"

WASHINGTON, July S0.-The
Panama Canal is now the key posi-
ton in the national defense Of the
United States in the event Of war
That being the case, military experts
everywhere are asking two questions:
1. Could Japan, or Great Britain,
for instance, capture or destroy the
canal?
2. If so, what would happen to the
United States2
Strategy, or ruses of war, 1t Is ad-
mitted, are most to be feared. If an
enemy merely wished to destroy the
canal, not capture it. some renegade
neutral or even disguised enemy
ship, might gain entrance to the ca
nal and accidentally" blow up in
ternally where it would do the most
harm.

ties had actually begun, might slip

Asiatic fleet two days before formally

Airplanes might be launched from
carriers far out at sea, or from up or
down the Latin-American coast, to
drop bombs weighing a ton or two on
dams or locks. And so on.
Military experts are unanimous in
the opinion no frontal attack by an
enemy fleet against the canal would
have the slightest chanca OF success.
