"What Shall We l)o With the Boys?"
Vas the subject that Lewis Buddy,
i'ield Scout Commissioner, used to
drive his campaign home to the Min
isterial Association of Harrisburg at
the annual meeting to-day. The
members of the association, who
(fathered in the Boyd Memorial Hall
to listen to Mr. Buddy, left fully con
vinced of the merits of his campaign.
Ml'. Buddy spoke to the Civic Club
at 4 o'clock this afternoon, showing
*rhat the co-operation will result in
When all the public organizations
Jiledge their support to a movement.
At 12.30 to-morrow noon the Cit
izens' Committee will meet for a
noonday luncheon at the Harrisburg
Club. Mr. Buddy will at that time
outline the work to be done by the
committee and his aitns for the Boy
£cout movement in this city.
Employes of the Moorhead Knitting
Company will gather in the assembly
room at noon Thursday to listen to
Mr. Buddy explain his mission. Yes
terday Mr. Buddy spoke to five audi
ences, most of whom have since be
come loyal supporters of the Boy
Feout movement.
To THkc I'p Gardening
One of the chief things that is be
ing enforced upon the minds of the
boys whom Mr. Buddy is dally in
structing in the part they may play
in the present crisis is the assistance
they can give to the intensive gar
dening movement.
Practical plans for the systematic
•organization of 2,000,000 boys into an
army of youthful farmers to help
jnake and harvest the crops have been
suggested by Alexander Reading Gu-
Jick, New York attorney and practi
cal farmer, in a letter to the National
Emergency Food Garden Commission,
of Washington.
He suggests that the most natural
and best method would be through an
extended organization of the Boy
Scouts of America. If this is not prac
ticable, then a distinct organization
under governmental control, to be
known by some suitable name, as for
Instance, Boy Service Army of the
Cadets of America.

made calling: upon all boys from the i
ag:e of fourteen to eighteen to call
at designated places to apply and reg
ister their names as willing to go out
into tills great work Of crop raising,
he says. ,
The camp plan ip a much better
plan, Mr. Guiick believes, than send
ing away two or more boys to various
sections of the country to live on
farms alone. There would be lost the
discipline and control that the camp
life affords, and there would be great
danger that the boys would not be
properly housed and fed.
Fixed rates of wages should be es
tablished, to be paid by the farmer.
In this should bo included the boy's
transportation and the cost of his liv
ing at the camp. The hours of labor
of these boys should not exceed, in
the beginning, seven hours. Work
should begin at eight o'clock and
stop at five, with two hours' rest at
midday.
Russian Peace Advocates
Do Not Want Premature
Agreement With Germany
Petrograd, April 29, via
April 30.—1t is evident from foreign i
telegrams that the attitude of the |
Russian democracy toward peace has
been misconstrued and distorted by
the foreign press. The desire foi
peace has become more widespread i
and articulate since the revolution, I
but it is based on entirely different I
conceptions from those entertained i
during the old regime.
These new conceptions have nothing j
to do with a premature peace with i
Germany. As a matter of fact they
have not yet taken any definite form. J
simply emanating from the new spirit
of democracy which wishes to build a
foundation for a durable world peace, j
The idea of a separate peace died here !
with the old regime. There is no talk I
of this even among the most advanced i
Socialistic factions.
SEEK DY\AIITE OW VKKS
i-iocal police are looking for the
owner of the dynamite found yester

dynamite had evidently been left in
the park for some time as it is well
water-soaked and apparently harm
less. The police are of the opinion
that it was left there by workmen.

would give the Red Cross 20,000
members in the city alone, instead of
the slightly more than 4,000 listed in
the last two weeks.
"Harrisburg has always been a
leader in all sorts of movements of
this kind," continued Mr. Jennings,
"and it is not going to fall behind j
now. It is not going to see the
smaller communities round about setj
the pace for it in Red Cross member- !
ship, and the campaigners are going
out this week determined to put Har
risburg in its proper place. Not to
be a member of the Red Cross is not
to be truly patriotic, and Harrisburg
people always have been patriotic."

it make a third trip."

Has Spent Millions
A bulletin giving the complete his

been Issued at national headquarters
of the society in Washington. It
shows that since its incorporation, in
1905, the American Red Cross has
spent a total of $10,967,061.63 for the
relief of victims of wars and disas
ters.
The bulletin, entitled "Organiza
tion and Activities," has been pre
pared in response to a country-wide
demand for information about the
Red Cross.
With the bulletin, any person can
quickly obtain knowledge of the
many activities of the national or
ganization. It tells every person
what be or she can do for the Red
Cross, how to join it, how to organ
ize chapters and auxiliaries to chap
ters, the different *ays In which the
Red Cross spends its money, and
finally gives a financial account of Its
stewardship since the year 1905.
With reference to tbe Red Cross
war work, the bulletin gives this
summary:
"It gives volunteer aid to the sick
and wounded.
| "It gives aid to the dependents of
soldiers and sailors.
"It makes no distinction of class,
creed or race.
"It is a relief clearing house, per
manent. responsible, and experi
enced.
"It Is a semi-governmental agency
for the collection and distribution of
money and supplies for relief pur
poses.
"It is the only volunteer society au
thorized by the government to aid
our land and naval forces In time of
war."
The bulletin, No. 114, may be had
by sending to the National Red Cross
Society, Washington, D. C.
