CHIEF SCOUT BARS DENMARK

Reply To Danish Ban

NOT ALLOWED TO LAND BECAUSE OF UNIFORM

̈(Special Air-Mail Service).

London, August 18-Lord Baden- Powell, the Chief Scout, has refused to take his party of 650 Guiders and Scouters to Denmark because of a Danish ban which would not allow the party to land in uniform.

The

party, who left Southampton to day for a 17-day cruise of the Balthe ports, have cat. Copenhagen out of their ports of call.

The Chief Scout was officially in- formed that if his party doffed their uniforms and put on civilian clothes they would be allowed to land. The Chief Scout refused to do this.

The ban was recently imposed on political grounds, and forbade the wearing of uniform by persons of 14 years and over,

Nearly every doctor who comes to this country receives his training En tropical disease at the London school-though one must certainly not forget those at Liverpool and Edinburgh and it is surely to the country's benefit that he should get the best possible.

This will be the outcome, I feel, of the amalgamation since funds will be centralised instead of divided among two, shall we say, rival institutions."
