This is the real and only reason that Mr. Seton is not now the chief scout of the Boy Scouts of Amer ica. , "Any other cause alleged or issue raised by Mr. .Seton has no foundation In fact. There has been no essential change in the program since Its begin ning, as shown in the official hand book published in 1910. It Is exactly as it was in all the years in which Mr. Seton served In his nominal relation as chief scout, writing for the press and speaking in public of the whole Scout progrum. "The officials of the Boy Scouts of America considered it obligatory upon them to give to the Scout movement unmistakable American , leadership. Undoubtedly our experience will tend to make more clear than ever before the necessity of all organizations hav ing to do with boy life In America not being dominated by men who refuse to pledge allegiance to our country and its Institutions." URGE AUDIENCES SEE "EVERYVOMAN Played Return Engagement at Auditorium Yesterday Cast Almost the Same. E. West, chief scout executive, fle clared that Mr. Seton's claim that he organized the Boy Scouts of America Is not borne out by the facts. The attitude of Sir Robert Baden- Powell and others in permitting Mr. Seton's assertions along such lines has merely been one of gentlemanly cour tesy," said Mr. West. "The originator of the movement, ot course, was Sir Ribert Baden-Powell." Quoting from a letter which he receiv ed recently from Sir Robert, Mr. West read: "I should like. In the nrst place, to congratulate the executive board on the exceealngly temperate and fair manner In which you have dealt with tha case. As regards Mr. Seton's references to ma, they are not quite In accord with my recollection or with historical lacts." To People's judgment. Mr. West added: "The officials and members 'of the executive board of the Bov Scouts of America are wining to leave to the judgment of the people of New York and throughout the country whether the board's action In dlspos Inr of Mr. Seton as an offlclnl In the scout movement was for the best In terests of the boys of our country. "As stated by Dr. William T. Horn adav. of the New York Zoological so clety. In an appeal In the pressnt campaign, the Boy Scout movement Is a great national antidote for tne devilish spirit of anarchy to the states and nation that Is now cropping up ilka nnk and poisonous weeds all lnnr thn path of our nation's prog ress." When It was discovered that Mr. Seton won In harmony with the views of anarchists and radical social ists on the Question of whether the Hoy Scouts of America should stand for patriotism and good cltlienshlp no time was lost In developing the Issue. Given Opportunity. "A reasonable and fnlr opportunity was given to Mr. Seton to make him elf clear on this subject, but he hedged and stated that he could not make a definite promise that he would ever become a citizen xf the United Stales. Indeed, ho went further and repeated his obligation to the Boy Scouts handbook, including a chapter on patriotism, and contonded that the Hoy Hroute of America should not undTnle to have boys pledge allegi ance to their country, hut should leave them free to support our country when they thought our country was Gibbs Bilson expressed a good deal of sympathy for poor Blank.

Although Walter Browne, the New York reporter who wrote "Everywo man," died the day of the first rehear sal, never seeing his work on the stage, the play will serve as a lasting monument to the genius of the man who conceived the idea of putting something entirely new on the stage and at the same time something that is calculated to help those who see it. The play was presented at the Audito rium yesterday matinee and evening performances, for a return engage ment, and was witnessed by two good sized audiences. Many of the leading parts are still in the hands of the first performers, but where changes have been made, the usual high standard of the Savage productions have been maintained. Especially pleasing was the work of Miss Edna Porter as "Everywoman." Beautiful in face, figure and voice, she instantly won the favor of the audi ence by her superb acting and her role, the most difficult of the play, was carried out In the most masterful manner. In George Sydenham, the role of "Nobody" Is in capable hands, his work being splendid at all time. The production is decidedly one of the best that has been presented here this season ami many In the audience last night stated that this year's pro ductlon was good as the first mad trip of the play. as he buried an optimist the other day.
