Harding. On several thousand of the standards, coupled with crape were the President’s streamers of red, I white and blue, Mr. Harding’s gift to I the troops Increasing their member- ’ ship in the recent scout round-up—-treasured mementoes of his warm sympathy and active support of the, boy scout movement. From West to East boy scouts stood at attention in respect to the memory of the dead President, as the train bearing the body of this great-hearted leader and devoted supporter of the scout movement passed on its sad and impressive transcontinental journey to the nation's capital. At practically every station in city, town and countryside on the route of the funeral train, regardless of hour or whether a stop was made, tli“ scout contingent, usually the length of the train, was drawn up. Where stops were imide, an ottering of wild flowers, gathered by the scouts and symbolic of the outdoor life of scouting, wus placed aboard. In San Francisco twenty scouts of eagle rank escorted the funeral cortege. In Washington the tribute of esteem was rededicated by Colin H. Livingstone, president of the Boy Scouts of America, James E. West, chief scout executive, other scout officials, and a delegaton of scouts to whom a special place in the funeral services was assigned. N Boy scouts have cherished memories in the repeated manifestations of both the President and Mrs. Harding as to their keen appreciation of the fundamental values of scouting In character building and citizenship training. The annals of the Boy Scouts of America contain no finer tribute than Mrs. Harding's request that the scouts be •Included in all arrangements on the reei nt trip for guarding the preai dcntlal party, because as she expressed It, she always felt better when the scouts were present. The following telegram was dispatched to Mrs. Harding from the national office upon receipt of informa tion of the President’s death; , "Boy Scouts of America, 618,000 scattered everywhere, are especially thoughtful of you in this hour of bereavement. Pray that you will be sustained in strength and courage. Not only have we lost the President of onr country, but an unusually sympathetic and helpful honorary president and friend of our organization. Believing it will have your approval we are arranging for a boy scout guard of honor at each railroad station through which your train will pass. “.TAMES E.
