Significance Of
Boy Scout Work

Scouting is sometimes not
fully understood, and some one
may ask the question. What is
Scouting? and what does it aim
t do?
In few words, Scouting is
the process of making real men
out of real boys by a program
that has been working in this
country for 25 years. All boys
that have passed their twelfth
birthday are eligible to become
scouts.
Scouting teaches first aid,
fire prevention, outdoor cook
cry and very many other use
full and important things such
as self-rellance, helpfulness,
courage, courtesy, loyalty, rev.
erence, patriotism and honor.
Scouting is non sectarian,
does not attempt to teach re-
ligion, but rather to live religion
1t is not organized for war SER
vice but Tor all service and
scouts are prepared TO be of
service when the need arises,
whether it be floods, tornadoes
or fires.
F. d Roosevelt, President
of the United States says, Il
firmly believe that the Boy
Scout movement represents a
new era of moral force in Amer
'ika. | hope every possible ef-
fort will be made to avoid cur
tailment Of all character build
ing agencies during this difficult
period. Surely our youth, ,---of
Boy Scout age---should not be
handicapped because of the
current conditions for which he
Is in no way responsible"
General John j. Pershing says,
give the Boy Scout movement
the support it so Justly deserves
and the Juvenile Court will
soon no longer be needed"

Neutrality Strike Threat.
ened-0fficia| Says Ship
Won't Get Past Manila
BIZ the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Threat of c. I. O. strike to pre-
vent an American ship from carrying
war supplies to China added a new
problem today to the difficulties raised
for Federal officials by the Sino- Japa-
nese hostilities.
Ralph Emerson, legislative repre-
sentative for the National Maritime
Union, predicted a sit-down strike by
union seamen would prevent the Gov
ernment-owned freighter Wichita from
reaching China with cargo Of bomb
ing planes and barbed wire.
1T will never get past Manila" EN-
erson said. The National Maritime
Union Is an affiliate Of John L. Lewis
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton.
Emerson also expressed the opinion
the Maritime Commission, finding it.
self IN delicate position by virtue of
its ownership Of the freighter, would
take steps to end the Wichitas voy-
age.
The Wichita sailed from Baltimore
Friday just before Secretary Hull re-
ceived Japan's official notification of
a blockade of Chinese ports.
Neutrality Move.
Japan's advices said her blockade
would be aimed only at Chinese ship
ping and would not affect peaceful
commerce" Of other nations.
Emerson's threat of sit-down strike
to prevent the Wichita from reaching
China was regarded here as an un-
omcial move to put into operation one
OF the chief features of American neu-
trality lava ban on shipment Of war
implements and supplies to warning
nations.
Emerson said the seamen were ex-
tremely reluctant to engage in the
hazardous service Of carrying war car
goes even If suggestions Of q $3.50
bonus for each crew member were car
ried out.
"The State Department tells us
there Is no war in China" Emerson
said, "but Maritime Commission Of
f1cials say there is a whale OF a war.
Morally We know, and everybody else
knows, that war exists
Speculation Rises.
II the Wichita crosses to China with
her war cargo, observers of the Sino-
Japanese situation speculated on
whether Japan would regard the
movement of the vessel as peaceful
commerce" The Wichita scheduled
to stop at San Pedro, Calf, Is not due
to reach China for several weeks.
The State Department said Japan
had not yet given any formal clar-
ification Of whether she would exercise
the privilege OF "pre-emption," .
phrase of international law which rec
ognizes the right of a nation formally
at war to halt and investigate vessels
suspected of carrying war supplies to
its enemy.

T0QU|T SHORTLY
Col. Louis Johnson and Not
McNutt Is Expected to
Get Cabinet Post.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOITNG

Harry H. Woodring is expected to
retire soon as Secretary of War, but
1t is unlikely that he will be sue
ceeded by Paul v. McNutt, former
Governor of Indiana, now high COM
missioner to the Philippines.
This is the opinion of those in ad-
ministration circles. It is known that
Secretary Woodring has let Presi-
dent Roosevelt know he will retire
from the cabinet shortly" but no
definite time has been set. 1t is
believed certain this will not occur
before the President returns from his
vacation at Hyde Park, N. Y, about
the middle of September.
There have besn reports that Wood
ring was to step out Of the cab
met to make room for McNutt and
that he would be appointed to the
Philippines post now held by the lat
ter, but administration authorities are
not inclined to feel this is the case.
Offered College Post.
The President was given to under
stand when McNutt went to the
Philippines that it would be for not
more than year, If that long, be-
cause the former Governor had been
offered the presidency Of the Univer-
sity of Indiana and had given a
tentative acceptance before he took
over the assignment. Therefore, 1t
is expected that McNutt will resign
his Manila post shortly and there is
possibility that Woodring may be
offered the place. However, Mr..
Roosevelt has given no intimation
that he had anything of this sort in
mind
McNutt. a former commander of
the American Legion, who is recog-
nized as the Democratic boss Of In
diana, has been prominently men,
toned as presidential aspirant to
succeed Mr.. Roosevelt.
He has indicated in various ways
that he has his eye on the nomina-
ton in the event the President is not
candidate to succeed himself, and
political associates also have been &C
tive in presenting his name to the
country for consideration in this con-
nection. Among these friends are
Senator Minton, who in recent state
ment strongly Endorsed the handsome,
white haired former Governor.
Called Preposterous.
Politically-minded lieutenants Of
the President, when asked today about
the possibility of McNutt being ap-
pointed Secretary of War, replied with
emphasis that such thing would be
"preposter They based their
opinion on the fact that they could
not imagine Mr.. Roosevelt putting his
stamp Of approval on an avowed can
didate for the presidential nomination
at this early date. Such would be the
case, In effect, If he put McNutt in
the cabinet.
The general belief in administra-
ton circles Is that when Secretary
Woodring steps out the President ,Jill
elevate Col. Louis johnson, whom he
recently appointed Assistant Secretary
Of War. 1t has been pointed out in
this connection that it has become
custom with Presidents to promote
the Assistant Secretary of War to Sec
retary when vacancies occurred. Mr..
Roosevelt mentioned this when he
promoted Woodring to succeed the late
Secretary Dern.
