typical misinformation in this Fed
eral Council Of Churches Information
Service?
Speaking Of churches, there comes
along st the moment, the pacifst res
olution presented to the Methodist
Episcopal Conference at Springfield,
Mass. It Is a humdinger. OF course
to oppose q pacifist resolution may be
unpopular, but to be popular at the
expense Of sanity does not yet ap-
peal to all Americans.
This resolution declares that wars
''futility is beyond question" and
I'VE are determined to outlaw the
whole war system" War Is not al
ways futile. Was the American revo-
luton futile? Was the war with
Spain futile? Was the Mexican war
for independence futile? Was the re-
bellion against Dias futile? Was our
late war with Germany futile?
The nation is being flooded with a
mass of mawkish rot about war Just
now. War is to be avoided as long
as possible. War Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
is to be opposed always. But the
people that refuse to defend liberty.
that refuse to resist invasion, and
that win not fight for democracy. is
people doomed to deserved enslave-
ment.
There is an honorable, sane and
high minded field for work to prevent
war--a field for work for peace. But
it is emphatically not the field into
which this Methodist resolution
plunges so recklessly.
The resolution goes on to demand
the principle of "conscription Of
wealth and labor" whenever conscrip-
ton Of manhood is contemplated in
the future. Labor itself is best fitted
to speak on that subject and to make
what demands are to be made. The
glittering generality about conscript-
ing wealth and labor" is as deceptive
as a mirage and about the last thing
mankind wants in that connection is
deception.

Fifteen Birmingham Boy Scouts have attained the Eagle rank, the highest honor in Scoutdom, since January |, according to reports of local Scoutmas- ters made public Saturday. It requires several years of diligent training and strict application to scout ideals to attain this coveted rank, and the un- usually large number of boys to reach the goal in Birmingham since January is said to be a glowing tribute to the effectiveness of the work in this dis trict.
 The Eagle rank is obtained by scouts who have first passed through the three first degrees of scouting and have then mastered 21. different vocational sub jects. The training scout receives in this work is recognized as of high est educational value and in some in stances is given unit credits by the Birmingham school system.
 Those who have qualified for the eagle rank in Birmingham this year are: John D. Topping, George R. Barnard, Joe Atkins, Jack Lyle, David Anderson, Clyde Harris, William Moses, Jr., Bob Hightower, Former Pitcher, George Hanlin, Robert Steph- ems, Henry Hewlett, Sumner D. Davis II, Charles and Billy Clayton.
 Those who have received the Eagle rank will be formally decorated in con nection with the ceremonies incident to the celebration of Armistice Day on November II. The entire scout or ganization of 2,000 scouts and leaders will be present to witness the decora- tion of the eagles.
 Construct Eagles Nest
 An eagles nest has been constructed at Camp Andrews-the outdoor home of Birmingham Boy Scouts, for the exclusive use of those attaining this rank. No other scout is permitted to climb the ladder to the eagles nest, which is 26 feet from the ground and built in the top of a giant water oak. in the Birmingham district aspires to reach. It is planned to have all the Eagle Scouts of the district, which now number 9, at Camp Andrews for two day conference and the forma tion of an Eagle Scout club.
 The date of this trip will be an nounced soon.
 According to Commissioner w. B. Mitchell, 1924 has been by far the more prosperous in local scout history. city in the entire southland in actual numbers of scouts and leaders and Camp Andrews-the outdoor home of the local organization-ha a national reputation.
 Advancement by local scouts has been the outstanding feature of the work this year. Scouts have qualified for thousands of tests and have advanced in hundreds of instances to distin- guished ranks in the organization. This is due to the emphasis on training which has been fostered by the training commission under the leadership of Chairman l.. Frazier Banks.

of Scout Executive Roland l.. Shine and corps of 20 trained leaders proved to be the most popular in the history of the work. Four hundred fifty scouts were accommodated and approximately 200 made application who could not be cared for. It is planned to increase the capacity of the camp next year so as to operate for at least six weeks and possibly eight in order to take care of the ever increasing number of scouts who are looking forward to attending the camp. The summer camps are recognized as of great value to the scouts as period each day is set aside for definite scout training.
 While great emphasis is placed on the summer camp program, it is not to be understood, according to Execu- tive Shine, that this is in any respect the major portion of local scout camp ing. The camp is open the entire year and troops are i'll attendance each weekend During 1923 the attendance at the camp was more than 5000. This figure is certain tO~be exceeded when the count is made for 1924, according to MT. Shine.
 The scout organization is now in the throes of two big events known as the efficiency contest and preparation for the fire by friction contest. These two events are the major items for October in local scouting. A fire by friction trophy has been presented to the scouts by Mrs. J. N. Rose and troop elimina- ton to determine troop representatives in the city meet are now being held.
 Conference Scheduled
 A three-day patrol leaders conference and training school was held at Camp Andrews, October 3-4-5 for the purpose of better equipping these scouts for the responsibilities of their positions. Ap- proximately 80 scouts were in attend ance at this school conference. There are S9 scout troops in the Birmingham district at the present time with quite a number of new troops being devel- oped.
 The major event of the fall for local scouts will be the participation of the organization in the Armistice Day cele bration. D. B. Dimick, president of the local scout council is chairman of the central committes for the celebration of Armistice Day. The movement is fostered by Birmingham scouts as a patriotic activity.
 In discussing the matter Mir. Dimick states Scouting is definitely non military but distinctively patriotic. Our scout organization has hit upon the idea of celebrating Armistice Day as a means of keeping alive in our city strong feeling of patriotism"
 This Is the one occasion during the year when the entire organization is
 I'M. should be at it's best. The organization is in fine shape and almost 100 per cent in uniform. It will be a revela- tion to the citizens to see the magnitude of scout activity when the organization lines up for the parade on November H.
