' “When we appealed to you » jxar ago for funds all we could give vin ‘was the promise that you would lie well pleased with the results of the ‘work after a trial of one year. Then the scout movement here had 31 mem- bers, and lacked the basic foundation of a real organization. This year the scout movement has over 300.mem- bers and with facilities can double:the personnel. This represents a growth fm one year of over 1,400 per cent. “Wyoming has the credit of mak- img the greatest por capita gain in the national movement of any state in the country during the last year and it is due entirely to the fact that pro- paganda emanating from Casper has sold scouting elsewhere. Sheridan and ‘Cheyenne have first-class councils mow. Cheyenne has a full-time official and Sheridan has a part-time official, but the Sheridan council will have a full-time executive after the first of June. “The biggest men in the country are behind the scout movement, be- cause it has got results for boys as no agency has. Casper is behind ite tne and I know tha“ in this drive the adults of Casper will show the/boys that they are unanimously them and will provide a fund which to foster the growth of the local scout movement and to continue the work that has already been started.” Carrying out a plan that was re- cently adopted as a permanent institu- tion of forum luncheons, all visitors and new members who appeared at the Imncheon this noon were introduced to the diners by the member whom they were sitting next to, M. P. Wheeler, one of the leaders of scout work in Casper, presided as chairman of the meeting.

An official of the concern will talk during the time that the pic- ture is being fun calling attention to the precautions which should have been taken to avoid the accidents that will be graphically illustrated. Mr. Stafford urged that all members of the chamber of commerce attend this th showing.

SCHOOL ELECTION IS EMPHASIZED: Ghairnan Wheeler called attention to the eléction of school directors ‘which would be held Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock. He urged that more general interest be taken in selection of the board in whom the responsi- bility for the card of 3,000 children and the expenditure of over $500,000 @ year was placed. In line with this subject he introduced W. O. Wilson, who cited the choice of directors of the ‘public school as. the only true form of elective democrecy remaining in the country. “Go to the school election on Mon- day afternoon. If you are not satis- fied line up for some one else. If you think the school board is composed of good men line-up for them but what- ever your View line up for someone,” he pleaded, It fell to the lot of A.

Robert T. Kemp was introduced to the diners as a man who gives hours and days of. his time to the interests of boys. He called attention to the fact that the amount desired for this drive was just one-fiftieth of the amount spent last year for the growth of Casper’s mammoth school institu- tion here and that scouting was sup- plemental to church, home and school and the link which joined thein all closely, ba He outlined the needs for the com: ing year, stating that $4,800 would be spent in running the executive offices of the council; $575 in week-end hikes, camp equipment and supplies, and the remainder in preparing for the growth and equipment of the which will be doubled during the en suing .

Captain Cooper had made an earlicr attempt at escape, and after being free for several days was recaptured. He was considered not a Polish, but an American prisoner. He was in sev- eral prison’ camps “nd worked last winter ‘shoveling snow on the rail. ways. He passed himself off as a cor- poral under an assumed name. Captain Cooper finally learned that his identity was about to be revealed through the efforts of some outsiders to secure his release and he decided to take a chance to , together with some Polish frien&s, with whom he was scarcely able to make himself understood because of language dim- culties. % Tho railway bridges on the way to the frontier were heavily guarded and the little party had to make long de- tours at every stream.

They had no compasses or even money to buy a couple of pounds of bread. “We adapted the American hobo methods to our circumstances,” said Captain Cooper. “We jumped freight trains at night when we could and walked through the woods when we couldn't get a ride, sleeping mostly in Conferences on Labor Situation Will he Resumed OMAHA, Neb., April 26.— Further conferences between representatives of employes and officials of the Union Pacific in an effort to rendjust work- ing conditions will be held as soon as the workers are ready for them, E.

A clause in this note says: “Germany suggests the appointment of an unbiased commission to fix the total sum of her war reparations, which she pledges to accept as bind- ing and to carry out in good faith.” Ge-many, adds the note, would wel- come any suggestions from the Anierican government for further ne- gotiations or for changes in the pres- ent proposals. “With the acceptance of these pro Posals,” says the German note, “Ger many’s other reparations and obliga- tions will be annulled and all German private property in foreign countries released.” AMERICA TO DECIDE ON FORWARDING QUESTION. - ‘WASHINGTON, April 26,—Ger many’s counter proposals regarding were received today at the state department and are under- stood to have been laid before the cabinet at its regular meeting. Just before the cabinet met an- mouncement was made at the state department that the memorandum from Berlin had been received dur- ing the night “‘in fragments” and was then under consideration by Secretary Hughes. Whether the proposals from Rerlin ‘will be transmitted to the allied gov- ernments will depend on the view of tion officers as to the ade- quacy of the payments which Ger- many agreed to make. Even should the Américan government decide that the’ proposals constitute a basis’ upon which negotiations between the allics and Germany could be resumed it is the understanding that the views of the allied diplomats here will be. sought before any further move is made. Although official comment withheld, impression was gained that the German proposals had produced ® favorable impression. It was understood that. the “Ger- man counter proposals were substan-; tially as outlined in press dispatches from Bertin with an offer of the pay-| ment of 200,000,000,000 gold marks as against the 226,000,000,000 demanded by the allies. ALLIES GATHER FOR PRELIMINARY MEET. LONDON, April 26.—Allied officials began to gather here today for a con- ference preparatory to the meeting of the supreme allied council on Sat- urday, which will discuss finally Ger-| many’s latest reparations proposals. Announcement of the German repa- rations proposals, which are being transmitted to the allies throug Washington, was being awaited with interest. Chief interest in these terms appeared to center around the guaran- tees offered the entente. It was authoritativly asserted the sum Germany would be willing ult!- mately to pay would be approximately 290,000,000,000 gold marks, or in the neighborhood of $50,000,00,000. ‘There are indications that allied mill- tary experts will be called into consul- tation by the supreme council on Sat- urday if the German reparations terms prove unsatisfactory.

PARIS, April 26.—(By The Asso- ciated Press.)—The possibility of ap- plying penalties to Germany may make regarding reparations in gen- eral, is being seriously considered, ac- cording to wellinformed French cir cles today. Such action would be be- cause of the German refusal to trans- fer 1,000,000,000 gold marks to the. Rhineland or hand over the equivalent of that sum as demanded by the repa- rations commission. It is held in French official circles that the failure of the Germans to Day the balance of the 2,000,000,000 sold marks @ue May 1 vnder the pro- visions of Article 235 of the Treaty of Versailles is entirely independent of the negotiations regarding the sum total of the reparations she must even- tually pay. The treaty fixes abso. lutely this amount which, being un- paid, justifies the application of pen- alties, according to this theory, what- ever course may be taken regarding the fixing of the total amount. French officials are convinced, it is declared, that the Germans are only Seeking to delay the execution of ail clauses of the treaty in the hope that the ajlies may divide among them- selves and make bargaining easier for Germany later on. CABINET DISCUSSES GERMAN PROPOSALS. man counter proposals on reparations ‘Were discussed at length today at the regular meeting of President Hard- ing’s cabinet, but if any decision was reached the fact was carefully con- ceded. Those attending the meeting main- tained aboolute silence on the subject and would not say even that the Ger- man communication was taken up. It was known, however, that Secre- tary Hughes laid it before the presi- dent and his advisers. —_—_.—___ CASPER VIEW ADDITEON— LARGE, LEVEL LOTS TO BE SOLD ON ‘X¥ PAYMENT PLAN AT SURPRISINGLY LOW PRICES.
