FATHER OF BOY SCOUT MOVE?
MEM' HAS NEW SCHEME.
Bttdou-Powoll Will Visit America
Shortly.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 12. Official
and military circles In the national
1 1 capilul are looking forward with un
fj disguised interest to the prospective
) arrival In this city, toward the end of
t ' the month, of Major General Robert
Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, the
hero of iMafoklng, who has started
1 from England on a tour of the world
and la expected to speud several weeks
In the United States, visiting a num
ber of the large cities In various .parts
of the country. One of the objects of
his tour Ib the solidification of the
Boy Scout movement, of which he is
; the father, into an International or
ganization. .
Gen. Baden-Powoll who ls consid
ered one of Great Britain's greatest
and most brilliant military men, was
born February 23, 1857, the sou ot
the lute Rev. Baden-Powell of Ox
ford and Lmigton Alnnor, and Hen
rietta Grace, daughter of Admiral W
H. Smyth, of the British navy. Robert
Stephenson, the builder of the first
locomotive, was his godfather. He re
ceived his education at Charterhouse
aud at the age of 19 joined the 13th
Hussars. He was made adjutant and
served with that regiment in India
Afghanistan, and South Africa. , ' Ho
served on the staff as assistant mili
tary secretary in South Africa from
1887 to 1881), took active. purt In the
operations in Zululund and wus men
tioned for his bravery In dispatches
From 1890 to 1893 ho was assistant
military secretary In Malta, In 1885 he
was sent on special service to Ashan
ti, In command of native levies and
for his eminent services he was dec
orated and brevetted lieutenant colo
nel. During the campaign In Matabele
land, 1896 to 1897, Col. Baden-Powell
was chief staff officer and for his
bravery he wfls again mentioned in
dispatches and made brevet colonel.
Shortly afterward he was made colo
nel of the irregular horse in South
Africa and in 1897 he was placed' fn
command of the 5th dragoon guards.
As lieutengnt-colonel, commanding
the 5th dragoon guards, he took part
in the early operations during' the
Boer war. Snydam, the Boer com
mander, shut him up In Mafeklng on
the morning of October 15, 1899, only
three days after the declaration of war
Cronje came over from Ladysmlth and
drew the lines closer about him, Jou
bert appeared and added to the
strength of the besieging forces. Af
ter a terrific bombardment on October
22, he was asked to 'surrender, but he
answered, "You can't take us by sit
ting down outside. Come 1n and get
US," The bombardment wn8 continued
day after day, but steadfastly Ba!!en
Powell refuses to surrender. WftOfl
tiiH sheila came flying too fast and
furiously the besieged men dug holes
In the ground and made til em Bemb
proof.
Baden-Powell's force consisted of
600 South African rough riders, a few
Kaffirs and a handful of town resi
dents. His artillery consisted only or
a few old cannons that had seen ser
vice in South Africa GO years before
He was 870 miles from Cape Town
144 miles north of Klmberlny, and
850 miles from Buluwayo. There did
not seem much prospect of relief, as
the British troops were kept extreme
ly busy at other places, but Baden
Powell refused to surrender. Always
smiling, always ready with a kind
word or a joke, sharing the privations
of his troopers as he did their dan
gers, he was their Idol.
On October 31, Baden-Powell with
his handful of men made a sortie, but,
was driven back by superior forces
The bombardment was continued by
the Boers, but without effect upon the
spirits of the besieged. On December
26, Baden-Powell again made a sortie
and succeeded in reaching the Boer
trenches, but once more was he forced
to fall back. Not until February 18..
1900, two months after the beginning
of an almost continuous bombardment
did the Boers make an attempt to
storm the town. Although weakened
by starvation and reduced in numbers
by sickness, the British defenders re
pulsed the Boors with heavy losses
During the following two months sev
eral other attempts were made by the
Boers, but in every case they were
thrown back by the gallant defenders,
It was on May 16 that Mafeklng was
finally relieved, after a siege ot 217
days. The brave commander of the
Mafeklng garrison was promoted ma
jor general and In that capacity took
