Envoys and Rich Gifts, But—No Queen of Sheba
A NOVELTY, even In cosmopolitan Washington, was the presentation the
other day to President Wilson of the special envoys of Abyssinia, con
gratulating him on the successful termination of the war and bearing gifts
from their empress, Waizeru Zauditu.
The Dedjazmatch Nado was the ora
tor. His fellow envoys were the Kan
tiba Gabrou and the Ato Herouy. The
Ato Sinkae was secretary and inter
preter. The envoys wore red velvet
robes, heavy with gold and silver
trimmings, and large silk turbans, em
broidered with pearls. The address
was in part:
“More than 5,000 years have
elapsed since the establishment of the
_ Ethiopian government. In the time of
David and Solomon this government was well known. The queen of Ethiopia,
Macada, ruled over all Sheba at that time. She heard of King Solomon and
came to listen to his wisdom and see the country, and as she returned to her
own dominion she proclaimed the religion of the living God. From that time
until Constantine the Great Ethiopia has believed in God according to the
laws of the Old Testament. In the time of Constantine Ethiopia became
Christian according to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and since that time has
fought for her Christianity and independence against the surrounding Moham
medans and heathens.
“All the people of Ethiopia, knowing that the United States of America,
after securely establishing her own independence, has taken upon herself the
wonderful duty of assisting the allies in gaining equal liberty and independ
ence, rejoiced and praised the American people.”
The gifts included elephant tusks mounted in solid gold, native garments
embroidered in jewels, and a gold box containing letters from the empress and
her son, the heir apparent.
National Guard Must Be Reorganized With Care
DETAILS of the plans of the war department for reorganization of the
National Guard as approved by Secretary Baker disclose that the states
may organize up to their full limit if they desire, but in so far as federal aid is
concerned they may only recruit at
present up to 200 men for each sena
tor and representative. In emergency
the maximum organization could be
increased to 800 men for each senator
and representative. In a circular let
ter Secretary Baker says:
“It is the desire of the war de
partment to re-establish the National
Guard on a firm and efficient basis and
to obtain in the commissioned and en
listed grades a maximum of men with
sendee in the United States army
during the great war. To achieve that end it will be necessary that the regu
lations he fully complied with, and the requirements for admission in ihe
National Guard both for officers and enlisted men fully observed.
“The appointment of officers and enlistment of men who are not suitable
for active field service, either for professional or personal reasons, or who
would not be able to participate completely and fully in a federal cali, will
serve only to lower the military efficiency of the National Guard as a whole.
The war department requests the earnest co-operation of the several states
and territories in making the National Guard an effective force during the
period of its reorganization.”
BEARD TO BADEN-POWELL
In welcoming Muj. Gen. Sir Robert
S. S. Baden-Powell, founder of the boy
scouts in England, to this country, Na
tional Scout Commissioner Daniel Car
ter Beard said :
“It is my great privilege and pleas
ant duty to extend to our guests of
honor—Sir Robert Baden-Powell and
Lady Baden-Powell—a rousing wel
come from the Boy Scouts of America,
and to say to them that we, the boys
of America, have a warm place in our
hearts for our cousins across the pond
and that we appreciate to the fullest
extent the great work they have done
for the cause of boyhood in the old
world.
“The League of Nations, the king
doms and empires, the democracies,
revolutions and tumult of the old world
are the problems for the grave states
men to solve; problems which will be
simplified in the next generation when
the boy scout idea is a world power.
Therefore, men like our distinguished
guest, who are working with the boys
and for the boys, are doing more for
lasting peace and history than all the
crowned heads and bomb-throwing
radicals the old world can produce.”
SEA SCOUTS GROWING FAST.
The sea scout branch of the Boy
Scouts of America are following a
modified plan for scouting along sea
manship lines. This program has been
approved by eminent captains, ad
mirals and chiefs of our merchant,
naval and nautical fleets.
In the larger scout centers sea
scouts are already numbered by hun
dreds. There is need of at least 100,
000 sea scouts.
The sea scout branch provides work
of a harder but quite as interesting
character as main scouting.
Boats are built, drill masts rigged,
laws of the sea studied and practiced
by means of home-made models, until,
when ready, the troop, or ship’s com
pany, takes to the actual water, in
Dpnd, river, lake or sea, and so pro
gresses from one stage of study to the
next, ending up, after a year or so, as
able sea scouts.
BOY SCOUT DOINGS.
Pittsburgh scouts offer another
stunt to the long list of boy scout ac
complishments, for they tapped the
maple trees at Guyasuta and made ma
ple sugar under the Instruction of
“Grizzly” Smith.
A grove to be known as Roosevelt
Memorial grove was planted at Keney
park, Hartford, Conn., of 60 oak,
beech, maple, elm and ash trees, and
a metal marker was put on each tree
to show the number of the troop which
planted it
