BADEN-POWELL
THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 16, 10.35 p.m. Sydney, May 16. General Baden-Powell received an enthusiastic welcome. There was a large gathering, headed by a guard of honor from the Boy Scouts. Subsequently a civic reception was held at the Town Hall. Replying to the toast of his health the General said that Australia had set the rest of the Empire a grand example of universal training. "Already," he said, "some of our friends who do not look us straight in the face because they have a bit of a squint are looking beyond their own confines. We have got to watch them. Australia has taken up the question of self-defence in the nick of time."
Sir Joseph Ward said that he was glad, as a New Zealander, to welcome General Baden-Powell, who had done more for the Empire by the Scout movement than all his daring deeds.
