Show ' ' ' " ' THE PRESS-BULLETI- BINGHAM, UTAH. , . , BOY-SCOUT- S (Conducted by National Council ot the Boy Scouts of America.) SCOUTS MEET VERDUN HERO The Boy Scouts of America were honored by being selected to greet Gen. Robert Georges Nivelle, formet commander-in-chie- f of the French army and famous hero of Verdun, up-on his arrival In this country recently to attend the Pilgrim Tercentenary celebration. A hundred and thirty scouts took part In the reception. At the Trench line pier five picked Ragle Scouts met the general as he came oft the steamer which brought him to New York. They were with Dr. Charles S. MacFarland, field scout oommissioner, who is the general sec-retary of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ In America, on whose Invltatlod Gen. Nivelle came to this country. From the pier he was escorted to the Waldorf hotel where five troops of boy scouts, a troop from each of the boroughs of Greater New York, carrying American flags and a French flag fifteen feet long, were lined up at salute and were reviewed I by General Nivelle. The scouts were greatly interested in the blazing star of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor which the gray-haire- d general wore on his army uni-form. His eighteen military honors other than the Legion of Honor were represented simply by five rows of ribbon bars across his left breast. A diminutive thirteen-year-ol- d Man-hattan scout, Frank Tobln, who wore a trl-col- ribbon was singled out by tjeneral Nivelle, who had him come forward to shake hands while In very good English he told the assembled scouts how pleased he was to be wel-comed by representatives of this great organization whose Jamboree party of 300 picked scouts last summer gave an exhibition of scouting in Paris which opened his eyes and those of many other men of affairs there as to the great value of scout training In the formation of sturdy and useful inaahood. GEN. WOOD PRAISES SCOUTS. In the recent Boy Scouts of Amerlch essay contest on the subject of fire prevention MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, commander of the central division of the army, acted as chairman of the board of judges He took keen Inter-est in reading the assays, which,-- ' be-cause he was wiable to leave Fort Sheridan, III., were taken to him from New York by a1 representative of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, under whose auspices the contest 'was conducted among the entire member-ship of the hoy scouts in the United States and Its possessions. At the conclusion of his work Major General Wood Issued the following statement: "I cannot tell you with how much Interest and appreciation I read the essays from the boy scouts' contest with reference to fire prevention. The Idea of this contest was a fine one. It .served to bring to the attention of the boy scouts throughout the country a j most Important field of effort, namely, that of vigilance in measures looking i to fire prevention and the dissemina-tion of informatior concerning the sources of danger und what can be done to prevent. The fundamental cause of fires Is carelessness, combined with a certain amount of Ignorance. If the boy scouts take up the campaign In behalf of fire prevention and speak as intelligently as they have written I feel that we "shall soon reduce the danger from fire." PUPILS WRITE SCOUT ESSAYS. Great Interest Is being manifested In all large cities in the experiment made by the board of education of New York city In' making the writing of an essay on the subject "What Boy Scouts Can Do for Greater New York" a part of the regular classroom work on one fay for the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades of all elementary public, schools. To make the prepara-tion of the material and the writing, and especially the study of the pur-poses of scouting more effective and attractive, the work was made com-petitive, with the following prizes : For the best essay In each school In Greater New York a bronze medal, for the best in each school district, a silver medal, for the best In each of the five boroughs, a gold medal, with a special grand prize for the best es-say In the entire city, all prizes given by the Boy Scouts of America. "This will give an admirable oppor-tunity for the principals to discover the effectiveness of the teaching of practical civics In practical ways, and will focus fresh Interest on the vital essentials of good citizenship."

FORMER GERMAN CHANCELLOR DIES OPPONENT OF SUBMARINE WAR-FARE AND THE MILITARISTS PASSES TO REWARD. Vort BethmannHollvveg,'? Who Offered to Stand Trial In Place of the Former Kaiser, Dies on His . Estate Near Berlin. Berlin. Dr. Theobold von Bethmann- -Hollweg, former German chan-cellor, died January 1 after a brief 111- - ness, on his estate, at Hohenfinnow, near Berlin. Among the most prondnent activi-ties of Dr. von'Iiethraann-Hollwe- g was his testimony in 1919 as a witness be-fore national assembly committees In-vestigating responsibility for the war. His testimony brought out he had op-posed submarine warfare and had is' sued Warnings not to underestimate America's strength. One of the most famous utterances during the war was that concerning "a scrap of paper" as regarded the treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of Belgium. This treaty was so charac-terized by Von Bethmann-Hollwe- g dur-ing an interview with Sir Edward Goshen, British ambassador to .Ger-many. The chancellor expressed his Inability to understand Great Britain's attitude with regard to Germany's at-tack on Belgium. - - Dr. von Bethmann-Hollwe- g received prominent attention in June, 1919, when he asked the allied and associ-ated powers to place him on trial In-stead of the former kaiser. The su-preme council Ignored his request. Dr. von Bethniann:Hollweg was chancellor of Germany from July 4, 1909, to July 14, 1917. He was suc-ceeded by Dr. George Micbaelis, an ap-pointee of the former kaiser. It was sold Von Bethmann-Hollwe- g was forced out of .office through efforts of, the militarists, headed by Hlnden-biir- g and Ludendorff, largely because of his "scrap of paper" statement and his admission that German invasion of Belgium was unjust. The former chancellor had on several occasions issued statements blaming the nillitnr- - ists for the war, while previously he had declared England was responsible. DE VALERA AMONG FRIENDS IN IRELAND - - ( PRESIDENT OF IRISH REPUBLIC ",' REPORTED TQ HAVE LANDED ' v. N SPITE OF BLOCKADE. Declares He Will Resume Active Leadership of the "Irish Provisional Government" and Press Forward The Cause of insurgents. . . New York. Enmonn De Vulera, "president of the Irish republic," has arrived safely in Ireland, Harry ' Bo- - land, his secretary, announced bore Friday. Boland said that De Valcru's object In returning to Ireland was to resume active . leadership of the "Irish provisional government" and "press forward the cause of the Irish Insurgents." He said De Valera had accomplished a marvelous feat In cir-cumventing the . British blockndu about Ireland. . De Valera affected his landing on Irish soil Friday morning, said Boland. He gave no other particulars. A message of farewell to America, dictated by Mr. De Valera before his departure from this country, was made public by Mr. Boland. After his mysterious escape from prison in England, De Vulera appear-ed In Paris' In Februnry, 1919, and a month later was notified of his elec-tion as "president of the Irish re-public." De Valera's whereabouts continued a mystery until June 22, 1919, when he suddenly appeared in this country and took a luxurious suite at the Waldorf-Astori- a here to begin an ap-peal for funds in behalf of the 'Irish republic." He also started a cam-paign to bring about recognition of the "republic" by the United States. He made a nation-wid- e tour and was re-ceived with high lionor In many cities. His appearance In some sections of the country was received with con-siderable disfavor, however, especial-ly In the southern states. He was greeted with both cheers and hisses In Birmingham, Ala., and was prevent-ed from speuklng In South Carolina. In Portland, Ore., his automobile was rushed by members of the American Legion and stripped of Its Irish flags. De Valera dropped out of sight sev-eral times. He appenred in both Chi-cago and San Francisco during the Re-publican and Democratic national con-ventions, but failed to obtain inclu-sion in the platforms of an Irish recog-nition plank.
