REcLAImINe MEN FROM CRIME

New proof of the satisfactory work ing of the probation system is given by the figures showing the increase of the number of probationers in the State from about 2,OO0 seven years ago to the present total of 1O,029.
 Ten thousand first offenders at ib- erty under suspended sentence and free to earn an honest living and re- claim themselves-and with the in- centive to exert themselves to that end as the alternative of imprison- ment-are 10000 good citizens in the making. Is there any question that they are far more likely to live down their offense and regain their self-re- spect under these conditions than af- ter confinement in a cell?
 Society nowadays exhibits great concern over the reclamation of the criminal" as the best object of pris- on punishment. In providing indi- vidual offenders with the incentive to work out their own reclamation and in giving them the opportunity it sup plies the best method of accomplish ing that desired result.-New' York World.

GERMANY'S CONQUESTS
 IN TIMES OF PEACE

Germany at peace was conquering nation. The record of her growth is a story of conquests over the soil, the bowels of the earth, the air. the sea, the forests and the mysteries of sci ence and fiannce. It is record of which European nation should be exceeding proud. Had such rapid growth occurred in the Americas, or Africa, or Australia, where man has but to tap the great reservoirs of nat tural wealth, it would not have been surprising; but the romance of the story is that European country, long oppressed by wars and thickly popu' lated for centuries, suddenly began to grow almost as fast as might be ex- pected of virgin land.
 Her peaceful conQuests have been so great as to render them quite out of comparison with those of France; and they are therefore here compared with those of the United Kindom and the United States. These are the per centages of increase shown by the latest decade for which the statistics are available:
