Washington, June 24. Promptly at noon today, President Wilson handed to a boy clad in the uniform of a Boy Scout a message of. encouragement for clean athletics. The boy darted out of the White House and broke in to a trot, and the 775-mile relay to Chicago was on. Exactly 775 boys will handle the President's message. At noon on June 28, unless plans miscarry the 775th boy will carry the Presidential mes sage into Chicago, deliver it to offi cials of the great pre-Olympic athletic, festival and the games of thelnter-i national Athletic Championship asso ciation will start. , Boy messengers will be carrying the missive constantly from today on. They will run by day-light and star light, the nigh runs to be made by the older, members of the courier band. Parents of some of the boys at first objected to the night relays but bffi cers of the athletic associations along the route volunteered to pace the lads in automobiles and all objections were removed. The route leads from Washington to Frederick, Md., thence to Pittsburg, Cleveland, Toledo, South Bend and Chicago. Each boy will run a mile, but care will be exercised to see that no boy overtaxes himself. The majority of the . runners are Boy Scouts. Others are school boys picked by athletic associations along the route. Each runner will receive an emblem as a souvenir of the run.

"There is a species of ferocious ant in Liberia which, at certain seasons invades the village and routes the in habitants from their huts. There is no way to fight the ant. . When the ants arrive the natives surrender. And when the ants have, cleaned out the hut eating every vestige of food of whatever description, they march on the next habitation. "The victim to be tortured is strip ped and tied tea post. He is gorged with honey and his mouth propped open with a stick.

The people think if they can stir up trouble, involving subjects of one of the great powers, intervention would follow and perhaps annexation. So, on my trip into the hinterland, I freely confess now, I was always un easy lest I. being an Englishman., should be considered a good specimen to begin things with.
