The following details, although unoffi-

in substance the plan that will be laid
before the peace conference: %
The main feature provided for will be
the establishment for handling Interna-

agreement among the members of the
league not to interfere with the territorial

At the time Mr. Hines was sending his
conference of the delegates of all nations
members of the league and for a smaller
international executive council for the
transaction of ordinary business.
A permanent secretariat- would be pre-
sided over by a man of authority and wide
experience in European nffairs sitting at
the capital of the league with all necessary
diplomatic immunities. Periodic meetings
of delegates are provided for, but it is
pointed out that it probably would be con-
venient for states to appoint permanent
representatives to the capital to act for
their countries until more authoritative
delegates arrived.
The plan excludes some states, like Ger-

untrustworthiness, but It holds that this

PARIS, Thursday, Jan. 23.—The ques-
tion of whether the Panama Canal should
be internationalized under the league of
nations would depend entirely upon the
attitude of the United States Government,
according to the belief expressed tonight
by Lord Robert Cevll, who has submitted
to the peace congress a draft of the Brif-
ish view of the structure of the league. He
spoke at a conference of journalists in
answer to a query based upon speculation
by the press on features of the new so-
ciety of y at ions
Lord Rebert said be had not heard any
formal or specific discussion of the Pan-
ama Canal among delegates, it being men-
tioned only incidentally in connection w ith
other waterways. He held lhat the Panama
Canal is not on' the same basis as some
waterways, sinco it is property of the
Fnited States and it must be for that
country to say how it shall be controlled.
In speaking of the admission of neitrals
into the leagu » on the same basis as other
nations. Lord Robert said that it was his
conception that there should be no classi-
fication, but that all sovereign independ
ent States should have equal rights. In the
general discussion which followed this re-
mark he said it would be a disaster if
no South American nations were Included
in the organization.
The question was raised as to whether
if a big indemnity is assessed against
Germany she be kept out of the league
until payment was completed. Lord Rob-
ert replied she should not be barred merely
because of her inability, in case the in-
demnities should run over a long period.
He said that no definite proposals had
as yet been made regarding limitation

Boy Scouts of San Antonio 4vill observe
their ninth anniversary during the week
from Friday, February 7, until February
13. Saturday is anniversary day and will i
mark the ninth rnile that the Boy Scouts
of America have traveled siuce their or-
ganization. Scouts throughout the coun-
try will observe the week with an appro-
prlate program which has partially been
outlined by the National organization but 1
which of course is mapped out by the locul
Scout leaders.
The Scouts have worked bard during the
lust year and especially during the war
and now that the struggle is over, the
Scouts are due a big celebration for all
the wonderful achievements that they have
been responsible for. According to Scout
Executive Jones, nothing will be lacking
to make this year's program and the en-
tertainment for the Scouts the best ever
held In San Antonio. A big time wus
held last year when the Scouts observed
their anniversary week and the leaders
are anxious to make the program for this
year even better and more far-reaching in
its influence. At the Scoutmasters' Coun-
cil held last week a committee was se-
lected to arrange the program and carry
out the plans for anniversary week. J.
Floyd Smith heads the committee and is
assisted by Scoutmasters Goodman, Ab-
bott, Michael and Adams.
The leaders have conferred in regard to
the activities lhat are to be carried on this
occasion ami although the exact details
have not been decided upon, a tentative
program has been outlined. Friday, Feb-
ruary 7 will mark the opening of the pro
gram for the week at which time all the
troop will gather and meet in session
with their troop committee and counsel
together for making the week as profit-
able as possible. Saturday, February 8,
which is anniversary day, has been desig-
nated as jollification day fur the Scouts.
This is the day when the boys will be
given unusual attention and when they in
| a measure will be made to feel how much
they are appreciated in their community.
The community will want to take a hand
and show its gratitude for what the Boy
I Scouts of this city have been doing for
it is an assured fact that everyone knows
and appreciates the Boy Scout. With spe-
cial and appropriate sendees on Scout
Sunday, February 0, the boys will en
j deavor to keep in mind their twelfth
Scout law which embodies reverence to
(iod, regardless of what creed the boy
may belong to. A big up town rally is
planned for Tuesday night and several oth-
er occasions will be announced as a part
of the program.
Each day will feature some activity
among the Scouts and will have a dis-
tinctive part in the week's program. The
great central theme of the program for
anniversary week for the Boy Scouts of
America this year will be the broadening
«»ut of the Scout movement In such a way
as to touch every community and to make
the impression that scouting is the most
natural and cnaracteristic organized move-
ment for boys.
The Scouts ligve done so much in the
last few months to make their influence
felt that the celebrations this season
should be of the highest order. The Scout
leaders who are in charge of the plans
lor the anniversary week are to meet Mori
