COOLIDGE LEADS INOUTLAWING WAR
Carnegie Director Praises Gen.

Atlanta, Dec. s.-President Cool idge has taken the lead in the move to outlaw war, was the statement made by Professor James T. Shot, well Of Columbia University and di- rector of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace at this morn ing's session of the quadrennial meeting of the Federal Council of Churches. The meeting was given up to a discussion of war. Dr. Shot wells subject was How to Outlaw War"
 Praisng the Geneva protocol as offering a chance to get rid of war and also of oppressive ornaments. Dr. Shotwell declared that the suc- cess of the move 10 outlaw war de- bends upon the Christian forces of the world. This document has been received in this country with all the prejudices of the old party struggle over the League Of Nations. It has been commented upon In sneer- ing tones by smart young writers. It is time for 1t to be studied care fully by those whose opinions would
 he worth while. The essence of the protocol is easily understood al though its details are intricate. It
 begins by three main points which
 underie the whole structure: First, aggressive war Is a crime. Second, the states take a mutual { obligation not to be guilty of it. Third, the definition of sggrc cssion 1 is the refusal to accept recourse to peaceful method of international settlement. This settlement may be i through three main channels (a) | Through the Permanent Court of h. 1 ternational Justice (b) Through the
 use of arbitration Co Through me- diation and conciliation of the Coun- cil or Assembly of the League of Ma | tions for those countries which be-

al democracy among the boys Of America and tho world.= It is organ ized in bs nations of the world. The. sun in all It's course never ceases to shine upon the uniform Of tho Scout. The boys are being taught the prin- ciples Of comrsdero. md mt tual re- spect for men of another religion, for men Of another color and race and nation, men Of different status in life. Scouting is teaching the uni yersal brotherhood of respect and eomradeship among the boys of the world, an International spiritual brotherhood and democracy which Is laying the foundations of. peace.
 ''I was talking moment ago about the International Jamboree last August, when our boys and the other boys had done their part. Here's sample: They were having the ca noe race. The Dutch boys got stuck In the mud. Our boys were winning, But they turned back and threw rope to the Dutch boys. pulled them off and then went ahead and won their race.
 When the affair was over the American boys came home with sil- verware enough to last them for years. They had won it hands down, fair and square, in fair play. The winning of those things was not the important thing. The important thing was this Here were boys met together, several thousand of them, from all over the world, with their flags and national anthems. But when they met there on the common field for competition 1t was one great brotherhood.
 Man has mastered earth and sea and sky with transportation. We i have made the world a little neigh borhood and friends. We have to work together in peace. With the multiplying of the population of the nations of the world. with the in- crease of trade on the high seas; with the competition that will nat urally result between the nations for world commerce and trade, it is in- evitable that more wars will come unless we have basis Of friendship and solution for war on some other basis than blood and iron.
 But the next world war will not be with blood and iron. With Yep. pelins that can cross the Atlantic fir single flight; with airplanes flying from the east coast to the west coast in 21 hours laden with poison gases It would be possible for these air, planes launched within two days un' der cover of darkness to carry out an attack, and the rising sun would fall upon a land Of the dead where the day before there were cities.
 we have poison gases tha' would destroy not only human life but animal and plant life and ever the bacteria Of the soil so that tn, soil will be unfertile for twenty years to come. There must not sbt any war! If the white man destroy the white man from the face Of tho earth, the Ethiopian and the Mon
 golian will rise up and dominate the world unless we find some mean! through civilization to eliminate thu necessity of war, to remove the en
 zines of death that man has, master ed. There are powers in the hand
 of man to destroy civilization. S'

we need a world friendship.
 Foundation Of pchre

Let's come home and think about scouting. Right here at home we are not only laying the foundation of peace and human brotherhood, but we are working here at home to make more efficient nation. These are the things we are doing in the lives Of boys right here at home.
 We are developing these boys physically We have a program Of physical education that takes boy out Of doors which teaches him personal health and hygiene and public health and sanitation, IL puts him under the conditions under which our pioneer races developed hardihood and that has made the American race the sturdy manhood that 1t is.
 "I saw in magazine ytar ago last August where about S2 per cent Of the babies born in America are born physically sound. but only 1T per cent Of those born physically sound arrive at the age Of 9l with out physical handicap, the other 65 having been cheated by life,
 Seven per cent Of the boys who were examined in the selective draft were eliminated as totally unable to serve: 30 to 40 per cent were put in the deferred classification class. This nation needs great program Of physical education, If scouting were nothing more than that it would be worth while.
 "We want a program cf action and service. We have given the boy a program of action and service. "A Boy Scout is prepared,' Prepared for what? A hike, a song or a stunt, an outing or a vacation, All that is incidental. A scout is prepared to render a service in an emergency. To help the Red Cross, the fire depart ment, the police department, to help the nation in time of war and pesti- lence. We saved nearly a thousand men, women and children last sum- mer from drowning.
 "We gave the boy a concrete scout habit, DO a good turn every day. and he goes out to do a good turn every day. Hundreds and thousands are done every day.
 "The greatest service in the Boy Scout program is not the mere train ing in the responsibilities of citizen ship. The greatest in this program is to build character In the mind' and hearts of these boys by associ at,ng them with men of good char acter so that the boy catches tht right ideal of life.
 There is a scout compass that hal four cardinal points: At the nortt pole of the scout compass-duty tt God; at the rising sun-duty tt country: at the southern point duty to others; at the western poin duty to myself.
 The beginning of scouts obli gation is duty to God. We measur' a scout by the 11th law, A scout t clean The dynamic power tha makes it possible for him to keel clean is his relation to God build ed upon his own obligation to him , self, to keep the body clean and hi mind also, mentally awake, moral ly straight and physically strong, , they work together. When he i , true to himself, as Shakespeare said
