SIMPLIFIED PASSPORT SYSTEM
Changed conditions in the commerce
of Europe brought about by the de
velopment of commercial aviation is
strikingly shown by the sudden need
of new passport regulations for which
the users of aerial transportation are
now clamoring.
If a business man can leave London
and reach Paris, Brussels or Amster
dam within a few hours after the need
for the journey arises and get back
home on the same or the next day, it
is certain that many business people
would habitually pay such sudden and
short visits in preference to relying on
correspondence. Such a course is,
however, impossible at present, as it
is necessary to have the passports
vised—a matter which now takes
about two days at each end.
It is clear that with the develop
ment of foreign trade from the United
States to other countries by means of
airplanes and airships, some simpli
fied passport system will have to be
instituted. One method, which the
national foreign trade council learns
is favored abroad, would be to issue
some identification certificate to pas
sengers, similar to an automobile driv
er’? license, permitting unlimited trips
for a given period to-any country with
whom the necessary arrangements
had been made.
Despite the avowed intention of the
department of the interior to see that 1
Alaska gets the benefit of legislation
!
being enacted in Washington to re
lieve conditions in the States, there I
seems to be a disposition on the part -
of the national law-making body to 1
exclude this territory from practically
all remedial legislation. This is espe
cially true where it concerns the 11a- j
don’s so-called conservation policy.—

ENGLISH CHURCHMAN
STARTLES HIS FELLOWS >
LONDON, Oct. 27.—Cries of ap
approval greeted a defense of prize- I
fighting made by the Rev. R. J. An
derson at the annual meeting the ■
other day of the Cheshire Free
Church Councils.
“Some people,” he said, “have been
worrying lately over boxing and have
been holding prayer meetings to try -
to put a stop to it. The church must
learn to understand the needs of men
-—their physical and mental as well C
as spiritual needs. We must encour
age fellowship and recreation. We "
must realize that we should treat men
and women as human and alive, and
as beings who live in the open and
not in the convent.”

GREEK NATION MOURNS
DEATH OF PATRIOT POET
ATHENS, Oct. 27.—Georges Souris,
the Greek poet and e.ditor of the jour
nal Romios, died here recently. He
was accorded a state funeral. Souris’
death is regarded as a loss not only
to the literaray world but to Greece
as a whole. In his writings, which
were always in verse of a popular
character, he dealt with political sub
jects in a vein of bitter sarcasm. He
rendered immense services to the Ven
ezelist cause and to allied interests.
Souris refused all honors during his
lifetime, but since his death has been
awarded the cross of commander of
the Order of the Savior.

’BOY SCOUTS AND BOMBS
A circular printed In red and
threatening him wfth “extermination”
for his part in the hoy scout mem-,
hership drive was received by Gavin
McNab, a prominent attorney of San
Francisco.
Others were said to hav/ been re
ceived by Associate Justice W. W.
Morrow of the United States circuit
court, and Frank Sumecar an attor
ney, who also were Identified with the
campaign.
The circular accused McNah of re
cruiting the hoys as future soldiers
“to protect the flag-flaunting finan
ciers.”
One of the most effective ways to
fight bolshevism and anarchism ip
this country is the suggestion: “Boost
the boy scont movement.” Everybody
knows the wholesome Americanism
taught th? hoys of this oiganlzatloh.
along with a genernl system of physi
cal, mental and moral development.
One seldom hears of a boy scout going
wrong and getting into trouble with
the law. It may also be said no one
ever hears of a scout who is not a
patriot.
Boys who belong to the scouts do
not grow up to flaunt red flags and
plant bombs. And If they have any
Influence at home, their fathers and
big brothers imbibe something of their
spirit of loyalty and understanding.
Clearly enough, if ail American boys
w2£$ Scouts, there would be mighty
few adult rj’ds to make trounl&
START OF SCOUT’S EDUCATION

SCOUTS IN THE EPIDEMIC.
\
One scout in Morristown, N. J.,
served ns an interne at a local hos
pital foy two weeks. He did ail the
work which is usually performed by
a grown man. Another spent the bet
ter part of a week at a children’s home
where the majority of sixty Inmates
were suffering from influenza. Water
had'to be carried up four flights of
stairs, meals prepared and served and
many other duties performed.
Still another volunteered for work
with the Red Cross and drove a supply
tri+'k three times a week between Ho
boken and a soldiers’ convalescent hos
pital at Mendham.
Four other scouts were on duty at
