(Eeeeived September 29, 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, September 28. Speaking at the farewell luncheon to Lord and Lady Baden-Powell at the Savoy, before their departure for Australia and New Zealand, Mr. Stanley Bruce said that the man who had done what must be considered the most lasting work in the recent history of the world in building up tho character of youth, which was essential to national permanence, was the Chief Scout.' Lord Baden-Powell said that exclusive of those already trained Boy Scouts numbered 2,269,545 and Girl Guides 1,204,869. The number of Boy Scouts was now fourfold that of the British Army, "which ain't saying much because that's being cut down to a terrible degree."
