BLAMEs LACK OF RELIGION.
7. S. Mosby Holds It Foremost i,
Crime Producing Influences.

JEFFERSON CITY, No. August p
That the lack of religion Is first among
crime-producing influences is the opinion
of Thomas Speed Mosby, member of the
American Institute Of Criminal Law and
Criminology, and formerly pardon attor-
ney Of the state of Missouri.
Mosby assails the Italian school of
criminal anthropologists because of their
attack upon the church. He declares the
church to be the strongest moral force
in the world today, and cites historical
proof that civilization Is indebted to re-
ligion for the greater part of human
achievement during the past eighteen
centuries.
The fact that many criminals belong
to churches and assume to believe in re-
ligian is met by Mr.. Mosby with the
statement supported by his personal OBJ
servation of $500 criminals. that "No
man can be a criminal and truly re-
ligious man at the same time. The So
called religion of the instructive criminal
is merely form of superstition, closely
approximating mental alienation. In
such minds there can be no true concep-
ton of holy faith. They are entirely
without the sense Of moral obligation"

WILL RECEIVE BACK PAY.
Enlisted Men Of Navy Benefit by
Controllers Decision.

Under authority conferred by the con-
troller of the treasury navy pay officers
will compensate a number OF enlisted
men for amounts deducted from their
pay on account of their inability to prove
their citizenship. Under former Treas
ury decision it was held that enlisted
men Of foreign birth, not naturalized
could not lawfully claim longevity pay
Consequently many of those men were
called upon to refund the money they
had received on that account.
The controller now holds, however, that
these men may be repaid the amount
deducted, but that hereafter no such
allowances shall be made where the
sailor is unable to prove citizenship. A
large amount of money is involved in
this decision, and some of the alien
bluejackets will each receive as much
as $1,000 back pay.

LIGHTNING FIRES FORESTS.
Natural Causes Responsible for Most
of Destruction This Year.

Natural, not human, agencies, are re-
sponsible for most of the forest fires so
far this year in the national forests, ac-
cording to reports to the forest service
here from its field men. Whereas in
former years railroads. with their spark
showering locomotives; campers and
brush burners were the chief causes of
fires, most OF this years destructive
fires have originated from lightning.
The officials here attribute this change
to the educational campaign 1t has con-
Quoted among forest users, as well as
the improvement Of the fire patrol sys-
tenn.
While only slight fires have been re-
ported during the past week, the dry
and windy conditions in southern Ari-
IONA and New Mexico make fire risk
there imminent.

animal that they are now after has
q rather curious history. 1t is well

ognized by a citizen as something out
of the regular calf line. and after a
chase In buggy he. slipped on the

The little fellow is rather white
elephant on the hands of the Duluth
officials and when DR.. Baker. the SUI
perintendent of the National Zoo,
heard Of the case, he at once opened
correspondence with Mr.. Storey to see
if the baby could not be secured Tor
