Scoutmaster D. B. Cook is going to leave his command and Bismarck. So the boys of troop three, .B.. 8, A. headed by their new com-' mander J. C. Stewart, planned a suc-| cessful «surprise. Honorary and ordi- “nary members: filled the brilliantly lighted headquarters of the scouts, which. the lads call depreciatingly, “the shack.” Laughter and eats were in abundance. The arrival of the old’ sscout-master and the néw scout-mas-| ter was there for cheers. Then came} the feed and: speeches. I << Derrick Talks | Scott Derrick, superintendent of this| ivision: of-the’Soo railroad, told the} boys: he was one of them and glad of it. Tobacco in all its forms received; caustic notice in Mr. Derrick’s speech. Then Mr:-Cook addressed the boys. | “I régret leaving you boys, who have formed’ such a solid organization with a: spirit of: co-operation, during the few years since initial organization work started, Iam proud of the fact that I was your scout-naster. It was my sincere. hope that. you will. grow more strongly organized and that the spirit of fellowship whith the scout rules foster, will dominate this brahch of the B. S. A. even more than it did ‘ while I led thé troop.” The -1i k jew scout-master, Jack Stéw- art, ‘speaking for the*boys, expressed the reluctance with which the.scouts parted ‘with their old‘ teader. He’ satd: “we ‘arenot here'only to eat although. T do hope you aré all filled with beans. ‘We had,a bushel. of them, Seriously though, fellows, this party is to be the last we will have with a man who Has your esteem: He is leaving. Much of the work which’ has made the Bis- » marck boy, scouts what the organiza- tions is’ today, is due to him. As the spokesman for all the members’ I thank’ him ‘for all-he has done.” Cook Cheered. The toastmaster, Boyd Smith, ser- geant. of the troop, proposed threq) cheérs for Mr. Cook. \‘They were cheers; -¢90, a8’ any one ‘Within ‘several blocks of the ‘shack” Will attest. 0, E.

APPROVAL OF | JAPAN'S PLAN | IN ABEYANCE Uncle Sain Has Neither O. K.’d Nor Condemned Brown Al- lies’ Proposals Washington, D. C., March 7.—It was made plain today that the United States ‘has neither dissented nor con- sented to any plan of Japan for ac« ‘tion in Siberia, and that previous state- {ments that no direct communications have been exchanged between the two governments on the subject were correct. The American government has beén fully informed concerning the situa- tion by. Great Britain, Japan’s ally, by special treaty, ahd discussions be- ; tween London and Washington are continuing. But so far as can be | learned Japan has not even indirectly asked the approval of her plans by ithe. United States, consequently the | latter is not called upon'to make a for- \ | mal expression. Great Britain is said: to have ex- pressed confidence in- Japan’s inten- 1 tions, with a view to allaying any. ap- | prehension here that Japan might do more than protect thé war stores at | Vladivostock and combat German ac- tivitiés. The understanding is that: the state department has -been satisfied on this point. BURNSTAD RANCH PICTURES PROVE BIG ATTRACTION Hundteds' of Farmer Grainmen | Remain Until Midnight ; to See.
