BOY SCOUT NEWS

In line with the policy of the scout
program to cooperate with all
agencies Interested in the welfare of
the boys and girls Of the county, the
executive board voted during a. re-
cent meeting to offer the council
camp site to the Y. NJ. c. A., Y. W.
CA, or any other organization en-
gagged in boys and girls work.
In letter addressed to the vari-
Gus organizations throughout the
county, DR.. n. G. Bledsoe, president
of the Cochise county council, spoke
of the camp site as one of the most
beautiful and fully equipped camps
in the southwest. The council camp
is located in the Chiricahua noun
tains at Rustlers' park, and at the
present time is reached by way Of
Rodeo and Paradise. From Paradise
very steep road leads up the noun
tain to camp. Supplies are packed
up from the foot of the mountain on
horses and burros. However, with
the completing of the new forestry
service road, which is under con-
struction, the camp can be reached
by motor over relatively easy grades.

GERMANY rs CAUTIOUS
Press However Expresses Pain
Rather Than Anger"


Rather Than --anger."
Bu United Press -
f. BERLIN, Feb. S.-The German
foreign office assumed an extremely
cautious and equivocal attitude to-
day toward Premier Mussolini's clear
warning that Italy win not brook
further German attacks on the soath
Tyrol policy of Italy.
Meantime the German press
showed a striking unanimity in ex-
pressing pain rather than anger" ="
Even Mussolini's- threat to exact
"two eyes for one eye and a whole
set OF teeth for one tooth" appar-
emily is not grasped in its full mar
tial significance by German editors.
The Nationalist Lokal Anziger con.
tents itself with a reaffirmationsof
the statement that Germany never
sought expansion al the expense OF
Italy, the Democratic Vossische Zei-
tung says no German politician who
cherished his reputation for states
manship and refinement would en-
ploy Mussolini's excited manners.
The Taeglische Rundschau. which is
close TO Foreign Minister Strese-
mann, suggests that Mussolini's
temper may be attributable to "Ital.
ian sour grapes" because Italy for
merly hoped to make Germany her
ally against France, but found, fol-
lowing the Locarno conference, thSk
reinforced Franco friendship had
thwarted her schemes.
Not Frightened
There appears to be ground for
the assumption that Germany is not
frightened. although tremendously
surprised by Mussolini's threats. The
press campaign against italian ad-
ministration Of the Tyrol has been
severe. Just before the Christmas
holidays it took a form which made
il news almost all the way around
the world. German papers then
complained that the Italians, who
care little for the st. Nicholas Le-
gend, had forbidden the Tyrolese the
municipal Christmas trees which
have been Synonymous with Christ
mas there. There were charges and
Italian denials, but in the end the
trees were set up, whether or not
Italy had intended to forbid it.

TEAR GAS USED

Bu United Pres,
GEORGETOWN, Del, Feb. s.
Gas bombs filed with tear gas were
hurled by Delaware troops to pre-
vent mob from forcing it's way into
the courthouse here at the noon re-
cess of the trial Of Harry Butler,
negro, charged with assaulting H.
year-old white girl.
The mob attempted to break down

National Guard to put on their gas
masks
A few seconds later parts of the

crowd.
A smoke screen around the court
house was set off and the soldiers
were seen fighting back the mob
into the streets.
A man said to be from the vicinity
where the girl who was attacked
lived, was said to be responsible for
the trouble.
