PEACE PALACE, THE HAGUE

rand boys learn nothing but to loa,f
about the streets, and when they h.
come too old to be employed as uov
they join the unemployed" For whers ,
1t is difficult for skilled laborers "a
obtain regular employment 1t Is mud
harder for those who have learneA
neither trade nor handicraft. Now thsy
have no other alternative but to be-
or steal. Generally. they do both, ana
1t is from this contingent that tho
criminal class is reinforced.
It is evident that this group could
with some care, be eliminated from tha
vagrant beggar ranks. The Dutch gov.
eminent has come to recognize this
fact and has appointed a commissioa
to assist parents in the choice Of Z
trade or handicraft for their childrsa.
and a movement is on foot to induce
the government to extend free techni-
cal education to those leaving the els.
mentary schools. It might be necee
sary to make such tuition obligatory.
This would also keep the children 81
the streets at the most dangerous go.
1t has been found impossible to ~
claim the professional beggar. a. The
Dutch government has been relue-
family freed to confess after expert
menting for rs years with giving then
work In the government agricultural
colony-Veenhuizen. Only those Coz
victed Of vagrancy or beggary. or thoso
sentenced to short terms Of imprisoer
ment for theft, can be housed at Yea
huizen after completing their term <
imprisonment. Instead. however. x
putting their knowledge of agriculture

- 20 OTHER town in Holland is SO
infested by beggars as is The
III Hague. Every year sees the
advent of more and more Of
that clan of undesirables. The
reason is not far to seek, for The
Hague possesses 100 charitable institu-
tions. SO that a beggar with a little
management can live all the year
round on other peoples money. At
The Hague you can be born. fed.
clothed. educated. housed. married and
buried at no cost to yourself or your
family. You can secure medical at

the country and a residence in.a con-

a correspondent of the Chicago Daily

Besides the charitable institutions
there are many people of wealth and

have the bother of refusing him and

COLLECTION OF SWORDS
COMPRISES $50 PIECES.
That At National Museum Covers
Long Period OF History.
WASHINGTON Starr

The sword collection in the United
States National Museum here COM
prises some $50 pieces. 1t not only
covers a long period of history, but
shows the development Of the sword
as weapon and as a badge of rank
and office. All the specimens are not
as yet grouped in one series. but form
parts of specific and personal exhibits,
some being preserved as memories
Of gallant officers, while others are
relics from various battleflelds or rep
resent various sword types and prog
ress made in their design and manu-
facture.
One good-sized collection, turned
over to the museum by the War De-
partment some years ago, is repre-
sentative of all branches of the war
service for the different periods in
United States history, and includes
also several foreign naval and mill
tary types. By comparison it is seen
that the types changed all over the
world every ten or twenty years, a
| feature, no doubt, resulting from the
| contact brought about by the succeed
| ing wars and the countries impliCat-
| ed, as we'll as the following peace
| regulations and the new standards ad-

| hibit Of swords and cutlery which

| family collection, lent to the muse
um by Mrs. Julian James, there are
| several American swords bayonetS
| and CutlaSSes. besides many imple-
ments from Japan, China, Turkey and
North Africa. Two other notable col
