organizations are a great help to
forwards consolidated and made into
an organization which now has an
enrolment OF 500, 900 scouts and 1884,
900 men.
There must be something in n
program that wnl challenge men 10
givo voluntary service such as these
men are doing" said Mr.. Piper
while he made known his belief that
scouting had been given to the world
because il was needed.
Thirty-seven nations now use boy
scouting. All these scouts work in
harmony with certain ideals and
have certain things in common that
help toward bringing them closer to-
gether. 1T is greater than n
league of nations could possibly be
in bringing nations together" stated
the executive.
Mr.. Piper spoke regarding the
difficulty of getting leaders in the
early days of scouting and of the
effort which is still being made to
make sure that every leader is quail
fled in the life he leads as well as in
his ability along the technical lines
of scouting. Our greatest problem
is not n problem of money" he said,
ut is n problem of leadership. We
have to be very careful in the Sc
lection Of men.
Mr.. Bartle expressed his apprecia-
ton for the newspaper publicity
which had been given the scouts in
Casper.
Earle G.. Burwell. vice president of
the council. gave a report on the re-
gional conference which was held
recently in Omaha. This was the
largest conference that had been
held in the region.
An interesting glimpse of scouting
in Riverton was given by A. l.. Ar
mold. scoutmaster there. Mr.. Arnold
told how Riverton scouts had float
ed bonds for the construction of a
, 1923-05-15

said order, l will, on Saturday the

ENCOURAGEMENT was the topic
which Ambrose Hemingway, also a
vice president of the council, had
taken to speak on. Mr.. Hemingway
has been connected with scouting in
Casper almost since it's inception and
knows many of the difficulties of
getting the movement started. He
gave great credit to the Casper
Chamber of Commerce for fostering
the permanent organization of boy
scouts here. He expressed his hopes
that the scouts from Riverton and
the scouts from Casper would be able
to get together and have good times
in the future n gave great praise
to Mr.. Arnold as n scout leader.
Following the address of Regional
Executive Piper, A. A. Slade. super
intendent of schools. told what both
the boy scouts md the girl scouts
were doing for the students. "These
organizations are a great helpp to
me-" said the educator.
w. o. Wilson. president of the
council. acted rs POSTMASTER for the
evening.
Community singing was led by Mr..
Bartle in the absence of Tracy N.
Shaw. and many scout songs were
given. The high school male quar-
tet added much to the occasion by
some clever songs which the mem
bers gave for the entertainment of
the guests.

ing to a boy you are wasting your
breath"
Scouting is a movement and not
an organization" he went on to
state. "It is a movement for every
organization to accept. adopt and
use"
At the close OF his address Execu.
tive Piper p%presented w. o. Wilson,
president of the Casper Council. with
n streamer that was the personal
gift of President Harding to any
council increasing its membership
25 per cent or more within a certain
period. The streamer was of red,
white and blue. and was made for
the purpose of being attached to the
council flag.
A review OF boy scout activities
here during the past four months
which is the period which Executive
II. Roe Bartle has been working In
Casper, was given by Mr.. Bartle.
Mr.. Bartie touched on the increase
of membership from las to $50. an
increase OF 50 per cent.
He also discussed Camp Rotary
and the three model camps thai are
held there during the weekend. the
scoutmasters' school which is held
cnch week Mt. the Methodist church.
the activities OF the scouts in hunt
ing for and rounding up los child
rem. the extension of the Casper
council east to L.usk and west to
Lander. the new system at Camp Ro-
tary m the selection of boys to go
there on the week-ends. and the
possibility of boy government in
Casper.
with reference to the boy govern
ment proposition which recently cres-
ted a great deal of interest by the
fact hat It was successfully worked
out in Chicago one afternoon, Mr..
Bartle said that "a committee was
now working on the best way OF In
structing the scouts in running a
city. and that when details were
worked out and the scouts had
learned their lesson in this matter
1t would not be improbable hat n
boy scout would BIO mayo for an
hour during the afternoon and that
other positions would also be tnkcn
over by the scouts during the Bnmo
period.

France, Belgium and Italy Ac-
CepE British Invitation to
Discuss Preparations.

London.-Frarce, Belgium and Italy
have accepted the BRUSH nVatauon
for a reparations conference. with the
understanding that it shall take the
form of committee Of experts under
the authority of the present inter-al,
lied PREPARATIONS commission.
Correspondence issued by the for.
eign Office shows that the British gov,
eminent seized the occasion of the
first public statement by President
Coolidge on the situation in Europe to
send another formal invitation to the
Washington government to cooperate
in new conference in an attempt to
settle the Preparations difficulty.
Lord CurZon's request is for Amer,
lean participation in any form, either
official or unofficial.
In his reply to Lord Curzon, Sec
rotary Hughes declares that the Uni
ted States is willing to take part in
an economic conference in which all
the European allies chiefly concerned
in German Preparations participate for
the purpose OF ascertaining Germany's
capacity to pay and an appropriate
plan for payment. He emphasized
three points, however, first, that while
the United States has no desire to
see Germany relieved of her respon-
sibility or just obligations, regard
must be had for Germany's capacity
to pay and for the fundamental con-
ditiOn of Germany's rehabilitation;
second, that such conference should be
advisory and, third, that the question
OF the interallied debt is entirely sep.
arate from the question of Preparations.
