GERMANS REFUSE TO HONOR WILSON German Embassy At Washington Under Heavy Guard This Morning Washington, Feb. 6 —Washington police today removed ail American flag from above the door of the Herman embassy, where it had been nailed following embassy official's refusal to honor Woodrow Wilson's passing | by displaying the Herman emblem at half mast. The embassy was under heavy guard this morning, pending a promise that the Herman flag would be half masted at 12:30 p. in. at Germany's refusal to display Its flag at half mast, a refusal which official and diplomatic circles consider the worst German | diplomatic blunder since the war, Paul Malonel, a student of Georgetown university, assisted by a group of. taxi drivers nailed the Stars and ; Stripes above the embassy doorawy during the night. The police said i that after the ' American flag hud iieen placed tit -re , a woman appeared at a window of the embassy and vigorously waved a German emblem. Today, however, the embassy apparently had decided that it could not afford to slur the memory of Woodrow Wilson. Berlin. Feb. t»— Manifesting surprise at the criticism aroused in the United , States by failuic of the German em- 1 liassy in Washington to fly its flag ;at half mast out of respect to Woodtow Wilson's death, officials, here Indicated Ambassador Wit d- j feldt had misunderstood his iustrucI tions. Wiedfelt. it was explained at the foreign office, was advised "to' take I into account the national mourning" over Wilson's death, "hut to not participate in any special demonstration.'' - i It is understood the government tcar'il to authorize any manifesta- ] tions of sorrow less it invoke the wrath of the pan-Germans. Germany generally neither kuows i nor recognises Wilson's fight at Paris to prevent annexation of the left bank ! of the Rhine and his other efforts | on behalf of a just peace for G -r-1 j many.

iIBOYS SCOUTS (ConUuct.d by National Council as tha Bo» Scout* of Ainatl'-a.) GOAT DRIVE —“GOOD TURN” The “daily good turn'' tff the boy aeout has taken many interesting forms, but among the most unique is the following goat drive which benefited numerous harassed cattle raisers. When a ranchman near the Hawaiian coast recently discovered feasting on the sparse grass of the lava stretches of his acres, a horde of wild goats which had been forced down fr>m their mountain home by an ex ceptlonally dry season, he concluded It was time to rid his cattle's gra/.lng land of the pests. It was estimated that the island was troubled with about 100,000 of these hungry creatures. and the ranchman decided to enlist the aid of the hoy scouts in th. work of saving his pastures. The idee wes to have the scout#drive the goats down to a peninsula where they could be Imprisoned, and whence the rancher* would prevent their return. With the sanction of the iorai executive, two hundred of the scouts were enrolled for the good turn. The first day's drive was to be ten miles, but the hoys were new at the work, and more than one goat evaded the IJne. returning Joyfully to the mountain elopes. The second day a drive saw a more experienced army. The . work began at 6 a. u., with each boy , Itatfbned 76 yards from his neighbors, { thus forming a living line ten miles in length. Each lad carried a quart ' of wafer and an extra pair of shoe#. 1 The scouts had ample opportunity to show their adherence to the scout doctrine of smiling in fee# of difficulties, for a more difficult hike would be hard to imagine. The miles ever the Jagged lava were a tedioue pull, as tbe lava resembled a confused waste of huge { pieces of splintered glass. To add to the discomfort the sun beat down unmercifully. On through the heat went the valiant scouts, and Just a* the sun I was setting In the golden glory of an Hawaiian afternoon, the shaggy culprits were pushed onto the neck of , land w hich was to be flietr prison. ; The ranchmen nearby estimated that in the flock were at least 10.000 full- | grown goats and numerous kids. |, A BOV SCOUT MUSICIAN j - — For special attainmenta In mueic, a ecout can win the merit badge for that subject.

Then Bishop .lames K. Freeman, head of the Episcopal diocese of Washington, opened a little khaki covered bible, sent to Mr. Wilson by a soldier in France —one of his "huddle*" — a ! book which Mr. Wilson treasured above all others, because lie felt it linked him to the men he sent to war , and whoso sufferings lie shared.
