The situation was viewed by officials
today as fraught with many dangerous
possibilities. Huerta is expected to take
the field in person Not a single one Of
his generals has proved match for the
Villa strategy. tluerta is his own last
hope. Huerta believes that the rank

loyal to him. If ne takes the field in
person he may be able to check Villa.
But it is admitted by army officers who
have carefully studied the situation at
long range that unless Huerta acts at
once his doom is sealed. And if he leaves
the Mexican capital with the majority
of his troops rapine and bloodshed may
run riot there. The bandit Zapata with
his followers is encamped near the city.
And the poems in the city itself, facing
starvation. are only held in check by the
large force of soldiery kept there by

they came from poor people, from
where children grow up with pale
faces, thin shoulders and wobbly
legs. Case 81 is reported this way:
Wholly a case of poor home condi-
tons. Picks things out of barrels in
alleys for food. Poor hearing due to
enlarged tonsils." A probation Of
f1cer says of this case: HAS not
proper care; also has not sufficient
means of subsistence. On Sept. II,
1908, at IL O'Clock, l found him at
9Th av. and Madison st. in destitute
condition. He said he had been wan
dering around the streets and alleys
for a week, both day and night"
Hunger, empty stomachs and
homes that are only dirty holes are
the background of nearly all the
boys whose f1ife histories" are given.
The only thing to do for these boys
after they have been made into GRIM
inals, says the report, is to put them
on a farm colony Let the stingy,
careless city of Chicago wake up and
put little money into a piece of
land where these boys can plant
vegetables, work and play in gardens
and sunshine, learn trades if they
want to and live and laugh and grow
up like human beings. When boy
has got the black plague somewhat
out of his system and shows good
signs, let him then go out in society
again-on the street cars and into
the many other places where we,
everybody, touch elbows with him.

Down at the bottom of it all the

them all the tests of an army recruit

street as syphilis.
These boys are taken at random

The report says: "In view of the
