CasAer MllttHittHIIIMHIIHHHHHIiltlHH SpoUme Aids Girls. Spokane, Waah., June 20. (Special) Girl Guides of America, a continent wide movement organized In Spokane last sprgin, has not been nor will It be amalgamated with the Girl Scouts of Des Moines or the Pioneer Glrlg of New York, said Rev. David W. Ferry, pastor of Emmanuel Presbyterian church, on returning from New York, where he attended a conference of offlcra of the three societies. "The news item sent broadcast rrom New York at the instance of the press committee of the Pioneer Girls were misleading and without author ity." Rev. Mr. Ferry added. "It Is true the Girl Guides were invited to join the mrger and I was asked to become chairman of its advisory committee, but I was unable to accept either pro posal before consulting with our exec utive committee. "Of course, while I believe that more effective work could be done by one central organization, probably having Its national headquarters In Chicago. I did not approve of the meth ods that were resorted to in an ef fort to force the western society into the new order. I am opposed to theJ means that were employed." Rev. Mr. Ferry has had several con ferences with members of the execu tive committee of the Girl Guides of America and it was decided to go ahead I with the organization independent of other societies. "We have received advloes throueh H. F. Wood, secretary of the Hawaii Promotion committee, that Madam 9 Frear, wife of the governor of Hawaii, is Interested ln the movement and ex pects to organize several patrols at Honolulu and other cities In the ter ritory." Rev. Mr. Ferry announced, "and I also have letters from hundreds of cltits ln the central, moddle west ern, southern and Pacific states and several provinces In the Dominion of Canada, intimating they are ready to Join our movement." ew Penelogy Methods .

A arrlson prisoner who has served one half of a sent'no?- of ten days or. more, according to the new orders, may submit a request to be put on pro bation for the remainder of the sent ence, aud his request Is granted, many be restored to duty on condition that if his- conduct is not good while on probation he will he required to serve the remainder of his sentence. "Th new orders also make Import ant changes In the methods of working garrison prisoners at military posts. These changes have been outlined ln the following letter, sent to the com manders of the several departments: "The) pwsent system of working prisoners nnd?r sentinels conveys a falae lmpreraion as to the character of the prisoners, gives the public the er roneous Idea that the army Is full of bad characters requlrln- forcible han dling, is injurious to the aelf-reepect of the prisoners, discourages enlist ments, and lowers the military ser vice in r.ublic opinion. In addition to theee objections, the system consti tutes a heavy drain upon the command furnishing the necessary guard. "It la deemed advisable and In the interests of the service, to adopt a dif ferent method of handling these gar rison prisoners who are confined for comparatively short nerlods of time, to tbe end that the fewest practicable number of prisoners ma be required to work undr guard. ' "It la therefore directed that as far aa la practicable, as may be determined by. post commanders In accordance with the above policy, garrison prison era will b paroled for work under the general supervision of the officers or non-commtraioned officer ln charge of prlBonera; and that prisoners whose character of offenses are of such a na ture as to require that they be kept under armed guard shall be assigned tasks, aa far at practicable, which will make the presence In the service of this clasft of men as little conspicuous as possible."
