Publicity ana Crime.

The crime problem is not confined 70
our own country. Recently a Paris
journal, Cosmos, printed thoughtful
article to the effect that publicity given
to crime through sensational reporting
may result in actual duplication of
crime. The writer cites examples from
a medical work on the contagion of
the homlcidal impulse and adds:
It would be easy to multiply examples
Of crimes whose suggestion camo to their
authors from reading newspaper stories.
1t Is beyond doubt that acts of violence
OF all kinds are often suggested by pa
thetio stories Of similar acts read In the
papers. Tho example Is contagious. The
idea takes possession OF a weak or de-
pressed mind and becomes q sort Of IA
tally against which II Is impossible to
struggle. When we peruse the records of
criminal justice we must be deeply sur
prised at the preliminary instruction ac-
quired by murderers Thieves, assassins
and all such rebels against law come
finally to entertain certain degree OF
pride IN their crimes and the publicity
that they receive encourages them to con-
tlnue and raises up imitators. From this
point OF view we can but regret the vivid
narration by the daily papers, often with
suggestive illustrations. of so called sem
sational crimes. making of their authors

When contrasted with some Of the

Panama canal affair is seen to be a
comparatively small undertaking in
view Of its national backing and inter-
national Importance. The lock type Of
canal across the isthmus is estimated
to cost about $l40.OOO,O00 and If built
at sea level about $272,O00,O00. The
wealth Of a marvelously rich nation
supports this enterprise. and the bur

Two railway enterprises, comprising
tunnels, subways and terminals, will
cost S1O00O0,000 each. and the new

amount. A prominent authority states
that the worlds greatest work in en-

Roads to witness the opening OF the

in history who jumped so quickly from
obscurity into international tennis play.
Behr showed his great tennis ability
ice hockey.
Behr and Beals G. Wright of Boston
recently arrived in England to prepare
for the international matches.
Individually the two men played
some brilliant singles before leaving
America, Behr actually SURPRISING
Wright In the manner in which he has
shaped his game and rounded into
form.
The most encouraging thing about
the play of the two men is the apti-
tude which Behr has shown for the
doubles game, at which he had had no
real experience previous to the begin
ming Of the practice for the interna-
tionals. This was regarded as the real
weakness of the two man team, but 1t
appears that this fear may be ur-
founded, for under careful coaching
from Wright, national champion in the
doubles with Holcombe Ward and a
player of remarkable ability at the
paired game, Behr has shown a pro-
ficiency which only the better reveals
the soundness of his lawn tennis play
ing In general.
1t is because of the fact that in a
general way Behr is an unknown guam
tity that he attracts the most atten-
ton of the lawn tennis courts and as
a member Of the international team.
Wright is regarded as a definite and
known factor in the matches, but Behr
may turn the tide toward great tri-
umph, and this is what American lawn
tennis followers trust may be the re-

HAGUE ADOPTS
U. S. DOCTRINE


THE HAGUE, July 25.-Thus far the
United States has contributed more
than any other country to the peace
conference.
AS was expected, the American pro-
posal for the collection of contractual
debts will be adopted almost unani-
mously July 81, only few countries
making reservations, while the propo-
sition regarding the permanency of the
arbitration court, the most important
step of the conference, will be accepted
with amendments, which, however, the
American delegates will offer no OBJ
jections.
Another American proposition, that
relating to general arbitration, is al
ready meeting some opposition. which
is offered as not against the principle,
but because of the difficulty Of carry
ing the plans as proposed.
The British delegation, however, has
received instructions to support both
the permanent court and the general
arbitration propositions.
Still another American proposition,
that relating to periodical conferences,
will not be presented until the end of
the conference in order tc avoid inter-
ference with the work already under
discussion.
