CLEAR CRIMINAL RECORDS.
New German Law Proposed to Re-
move Disabilities.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
BERLIN. July 15.--There are many
interesting phases of the proposal to
be laid before the reichstag this year
for revision Of the penal code where-
by convicted person if he conducts
himself blamelessly for period Of
years may completely absolve himself
from the stigma of crime. so far as
official records go.
At present statistics show that every
twelfth person in Germany is "vorbe-
strait" that is. has criminal record
The conviction may be for only a petty
misdemeanor. but after meeting all re-
quirements for punishment under the
law, the guilty person is made to suf-
fer in many ways from this blot upon
his record. Upon later conviction for
crimes they lose the benefit of milder
penalties for persons of blameless rec
ords: and their credibility as wit
nesses suffers. and they have difficulty
in finding employment. While this
rule holds to some extent in many
countries. in Germany it is carried to
greater length than elsewhere A
young man who has been fined for al
lowing his dog to run loose in park
for instance. Is no longer person Of
blameiess life within the statute Civ
ing youths of a certain grade of edu-
cation the right to perform their mill
tary service in one instead of two or
three years These are only a few of
the disabilities attending a record of
conviction.
