Importance of hearty much hard feeling Is sure to be generated, and we need only to read the newspapers to be warned, of the ' " ' possible results,' "We cannot expect a complete safeguard against this danger, but the pub lie Is coming to recognize that the boy scout movement gives considerable projection, because It greatly promotes mutual ttftderetaadlag and- good- - feek lngs.

New units of the British volunteer army arrived at Archangel and the transports that took them were expected to bring away the American troops that have been serving there, and whose return baa been so loudly demanded. According to Maxim Gorky, who was Interviewed by Frailer Hunt the outside world cannot aid Russia; Bolshevism must run Its course, bringing gradual starvation and paralysis of Industries; a great revolt will follow, with a reign of terror, and then there' will be a constituent assembly In which the peasants will assert their power and form a democracy. n the nag that Bct stout our" land of liberty; Then greet It when you meet It, boys, th nag that waves on high.

These are the outstanding points la the counterproposals made byy the Huns. They object, of course, to other - clauses ' til the treaty, especially the economic provl-alon- s, and' offer "many substitutions and modifications.' It Is pot likely that the council of four. will require many. days to digest the document and reply to It Then the Germans will be a required to sign the treaty-withi- n given time, . presumably,, before June 15.

We have not advanced so far from those humble buf glorious beginning as to have lost the savor. The eonv blnatlon that went Into the making of the first flag answered all requirements. History has neglected the own- er of the whife shirt and the old overcoat Ij has likewise courteously refrained from mentioning the original possessor of the petticoat It is enough -that all were Americans.
