Organizer
I-ewis C. Buddy, national commis- !
sioner of the American Boy Scout J
movement, who opened offices In
this city last week for the advance
ment ofthe movement has a squad '
of scouts busily engaged In assist
ing him in the work.
His office, in Third street, fairly
buzzes with activity and the zeal
and earnestness shown by promi
nent citizens, who have entered in
the work is sure to bring results.
George S. Reinoehl, division man
ager of the Bell Telephone Company,
and chairman of the Boy Scout Citi
zens' Committee, has called a meet
ing of its members next Tuesday, at
12.30 o'clock, at the Harrisburg
Club.
Plans for co-operation with Mr. i
Buddy:
Mr. Buddy has secured not only
the support of the big men locally
but the endorsement of the country's
most prominent men. The follow
ing is an excerpt from an address
made by President Wilson to Boy
Scouts and Scout officials:
t Wilson Scout Rooster
"I am sincerely glad to express
my sincere interest not only in the
Organization of Boy Scouts." but in
the objects that that organization !
has. From all thk. I know of it,
and from all that I have been able
to observe personally, it is an ad
mirable organization, devoted to the 1
objects that I myself thoroughly
believe in.
"There is only one rule in the |
world, and it applies to all profes
sions, and that is, that you are ex- i
pected to "make good." No excuses [
are allowed In this school of life, and
the only way to make good Is to j 1
keep faith. That is the reason 1j 1
like the idea of the Boy Scouts—
because of their secure notion of i
being responsible to society. They j
.'U'e responsible to the people who
live around them—to help maintain j
the standard of order and fidelity, |
upon which the community de
pends.
"You are recruits in the ranks
that we all stand in, and that Is j
to serve the country in some way |
that will tell, and that has nothing
particular to do with our own per
conal benefit. The man who de
votes himself exclusively to the de
velopment of his own character will
succeed in nothing except to make I
of himself a prig. But if he de-I
votes himself to helping other pep- |
pie his character will not only take |
care of itself, but it will grow to
a very noble stature.
"I ha<e always maintained that, ]
in the language of manufacture, I
character is a by-product. If you |
set out to develop it because you love '
it for yourself, you will be" an ass. j
If you disregard the consequences to j
yourself, in order to serve other peo- !
pie you will make a noble gentle- ]
man, and that I believe is funda
mental and sacred in an organiza-1
tion of this sort.—From an address
delivered to visiting Boy Scouts and
Scout Officials at the White House. |

THE NEW I

A Fact Backed Motor Car I
The Hupmobile has for a long period of years been
a consistent performing car. One in which the funda

ord of economy and performance the equal of any auto
mobile built regardless of name or price.
We are prepared to demonstrate these facts to you
provided you are interested in securing of an automobile

pellets. There are many things of
a suspicions nature which Indicate,
in face .almost prove the Existence of
a plot.
Discover Matches
"There was nothing: wrong in the
shrapnel-loading- room. There is
evidence that the shrapnel left the
vibrating room all right and our in
| vestigations lead us to believe the
explosion came from outside the
! shrapnel loading; room.
"Matches hud been discovered in
the pellet room ilie day prior to the
explosion. Matches were also found
under the oil pans and wrapped in
waste. We found shrapnel filled
with screws and there were broken
steel taps in the bas© of shells.
"We learned that match heads
liad been found In the base of shells
at the plant of the American Can
Company and at a plant at New
Castle, Del. One of the officials of
our corporation was warned on the
J clay of the funeral of the 52 un
identified dead not to attend tho
services.
Malice in Explosion
"These facts brougnt out in our
investigation have convinced us that
the explosion was caused througTi
malice."
Questioned by the Jury Captain
Wilhelm said lie had heard three
distinct explosions, all within ten
seconds. •
"The first explosion," he said,
"was caused by pellets in the pellet
box as far as we have been able to
ascertain. The third explosion was,
we believe, that of shrapnel. As to
the flames that followed the first or
second explosion all we Know is that
they came from under the door in
the loading room, near the pellet
box. The explosion of one shrapnel
set off another nearby.**
Captain Wilhelm said that after
the disaster about 8,000 unexploded
shells were found. Shrapnel that
have the caps or taps on them will
not explode unless by contact, he ex
plained.
Interrogated further by the jury
the witness said there was no loose
powder in the buildings and that the
broken steel taps were found in the
sharpnel by inspectors some time
before the day of the holocaust. '
In response to another jury query
he said that pieces of steel would
have caused an explosion In the
vibrating process.
