CRIME IN FRANCE.
The Worst Offenders Are Under the
Age of Twenty. :.

The connection between crime and
youth is now one of the problems that
are being most seriously discussed in
France, says a writer In the st. Jamee'a
Gazette. one would naturally suppose
that the most atrocious and the mose
callous criminals would be those who had
reached mature age in .areer Of crime.
But such Is not the case. The most
daring, the most sanguinary. and the
most hardened criminals with whom
French justice has had to deal Of late
years have been, with few exceptions
mere youths. The great majority Lave
been under twenty years. ~
Those who wish TO be more fully ms
formed on this SUBJECT would do we'll to

This magistrate OF the Republic has had
the courage To declare that the official
withdrawal of religious influences from
the instruction imposed upon children
of the people has had much to do with
the production of this youthful type OF
criminal. who when he Is before the
Judge. does not shed tear, but appears
really astonished at the explanations
asked Of him for his evil conduct.
Speaking not from sentiment. but from
observation, NJ. Iiuillot declares that the
passing away of the religious ideal u
apt to entail the abandonment OF all
ideals and the loss of all sense OF duty:
To English people such an expression or
opinion may seem superfuous: but In
