$20,000,000. This was in connection
with the famous Alabama incident In
tho American Civil war.
The vessel was quietly constructed
at Birkenhead, and launched ON May
10, 1852. Then, and not till then,
suspicion Of Its true character was
aroused, and case was prepared for
the law officers opinion. But the mes

Sudden disappearance of men and

feature in the life Of all great cities,
but London has been the flrst of the
worlds maelstroms to attempt q tabu-
lation and classification. Last year
i2,676 women over sixteen years of age
were swallowed up in the insatiate
vortex or that metropolis without i'm.
mediate trace. More startling and
pregnant with thought to all who are
concerned with the problem Of safe
guarding the young is that. during the
same year, lib girls between the
ages OF ten and sixteen were reported
to the metropolitan police as missing.
The ultimate tracing Of these victims
OF the dangers Of large city to adele
scent womanhood resulted in sad rev.
Citations to parents and friends. Some
of the missing are still missing and
will be. The moral is clear. He who
runs may read. Watch, guide and
help the youth, girls and boys, who
have reached or passed the critical
time Of maturity. The thoughts of
youth are long. long thoughts"
