GOOD-BYE TO SCOUTS
LORD BADEN-POWELL’S FAREWELL United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright VOGELENSANG, August 9. “The time has come to say goodbye; some of us will never meet again. I am in my eighty-first year, and near the end of my life. You are beginning yours.’’ Thus, Lord Baden-Powell farewelled 26,000 Boy Scoilts at the final march p it. The main part of his speech was devoted to an appeal to the boys to remember the Scouts’ Code, which would help to bring peace and goodwill. He told them they would hear war talk, but they would know the better way of settling differences amicably. The jamboree closed to-night, with a sing-song around a gigantic camp fire.
