which covered period OF years, came
romantic dramas, including II / Were

These were leading up TO Hamlet. When
he finally made known his purpose to
attempt the great Shskespearean role,

He was advised that he would be guilty
OF an unmitigated folly. lie was a..

not want him In tragedy and would not
accept him In 1t. He was also assured
that there was fortune for him in the
field he then occupied. light comedy and
romantic dramas: but he replied stead
tasty that his ambition meant far more
TO him than were money getting and
that he was not to be swerved from his
purpose. lie might have TO wait for the
critics and the public. but he had made
up his mind to wait, He realized per-
fectly that they would want him TO con-

which he had pleased them for years.

FENERU.S.COKV|CTS
British System for Reforming
Army Deserters to Be Tried.
Criminals to Be Sent TO Alcatraz
While Men Guilty Of Purely MIL.
tary offenses Are to Go to
Fort Leavenworth Prison.

Washington.-A sweeping change in
militr.y prison methods was institut-
q y orders of the War Department.
All of the short term prisoners of AL
catraz island, San Francisco, have
been ordered transferred to Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas.
All OF the long term prisoners in
the latter institution, about 270, to be
transferred to Alcatraz, which will
thus be made the place Of confinement
for the criminal element. while Leay-
enworth will be the place Of detention
of soldiers guilty Of purely military
offenses. To save transportation ex-
penses, second criminal Jail Is cre-
ated at Fort Jay, Governors Island.
N. Y.
The effects of these changes is to
carry out the recently developed Brit
ish system Of treating deserters and
other soldiers guilty OF breaches Of
discipline as subject to reformatory
influences and of segregating them
from the absolutely criminal and
vicious class.
In a report, giving the result OF a
recent inspection by him of the de
tention barracks" of the British army
the inspector general of the United
States army, Gen. L. A. Darlington,
said:
1T took five or six years for the
detention system in England to es-
tablish itself, but 1t apparently has
saved many men from trouble and
from degenerating into hardened
cases. They evidently endeavor in
this system to apply humane COM
mon sense in the treatment of men in
trouble. This gives an opportunity
for the men to recover their self-re-
spect and respond to any patriotic in
stinct which, under the stigma OF
prison life and its demoralizing en-
yironment, cannot be expected to sur
vive."
In his recent report General Wood,
chief Of staff, recommended that the
British system be given trial in the
United States. Under the present sys-
TEN in the United States, soldier
convicted of desertion becomes g
Convict" and loses not only oppor-
tunity again to serve In the army but
his citizenship as well.
Under the British system the de-
serter when apprehended, or men
found guilty of other purely military
offenses, are sent to the detention
barracks. When they are believed to
have reformed they are restored to
duty with their regiments. II they
are found to be undesirable for fur
ther service they are discharged.
