ENGLAND MAY TRY
THE POLICEWOMAN
Movement in London to
Have Feminine Mem
bers on the Force.

London. June 27.-Just now when
the subject Of women constables in
London has come to the front in a
movement proposed by Lord Henry
Cavendish- Bentinck for the appoint
ment Of women officers in every police
precincts i'm London, the remarks OF
the first policewoman in Europe,
Schwester Henriette Arendt. have re-
ceived much attention. This woman,
with & record of six years IN Stuttgart,
Germany, took part in discussing
women police at a London conference
last week.
For some years the chief work of
this policewoman has been in connec-
ton with the white slave" traffic in
children. She has run great risks at
times, and on one occasion received a
bomb in an innocent looking package.
In speaking of the principal part Of
her work as such, she emphasized that
it was the duty of such a woman Of
ficer "to present and safeguard the
woman's point of view and to see that
women and men offenders get equal
treatment" She also dwelt on the
necessity for extended experience in
social work. Continuing, she said:
az q policewoman has been worker
among the poor, or q trained nurse,
she must then have some training in
the law and in the actual work of the
police. ] myself had no such training.
and my experience taught me that Il
was necessary. The policewOman must
know the law, especially with regard
TO women.
"Only too often policemen in my
country are inclined 20 go beyond the
law in their dealing with women. II is
the business of the policewoman 20
prevent this, and TO protect her
sisters"
Reginald McKenna, the Home Sccre-
tary, in discussing the matter of pO-
liccwomen. asserted that, so far as he
knew, Their is none AT The present time
IN England. Policewomcn with pow
crs Of arrest have already been insti-
tuted in some foreign countries, not
ably in Norway and the United States.
In England, in the metropolitan era,
there is one woman who practically
acts as police officer, though she is
not d sworn constable and has no
power Of arrest. She is, nevertheless,
appointed BY the Home Secretary TO
assist in cases Of special offences,
where the taking OF statements from
girls and children H. necessary.
Another point Of interest in conncc.
ton with the proposed bill is the ques-
ton Of cases tried in camera. These
cases are often most serious where
children are concerned and the pres
ence Of an expert woman officer is con-
sidered doubly necessary. Not even
the press is admitted 20 such hearings.
Some women may be counted on TO
regard with apathy "a measure Of this
sort. but those with public spirit think
that no stone should be left unturnei
20 lessen the sum Of misery among
women and children.

CAGES ABOLISHED
IN LONDON ZOO
Yawning Chasm ~ Feet Wide
Separates Wild Animals and
Human Spectators.
From The Tribune Correspondent.


London. June 27.--In imitation Of tie
Hagenbeck jungle Zoo" in HamburS.
Germany. the Regents Park Zoolog-
cal Gardens have installed series OF
open air Enclosures, known as the Map
pin Terraces. They are constructed OF
concrete, after the Hagenbeck idea.
which, briefly expressed. is that ia
better knowledge of zoology may be OBJ
tanned by studying wild animals win
no bars between them and the student
than by gazing at them when they are
in small cages.
The London public takes great pride
in its Zoo. and certainly thai institu-
ton boasts a very large and variegG-e
collection of beasts of the wilds AMI
fowls of the air. Unfortunately, how.
ever. the Mappin Terraces were opened
before the scheme upon which the"
were designed had been fully worked
out. In consequence. while one beho!ds
the inmates of the Enclosures across a
twelve-foot chasm the illusion of fre"
dom from captivity is lessened by the
fact that there is no foliage whate :er
TO relievc the baroness of the concrete,
and there are even few bars visible
at the rear of the pens. which are con
siderably smaller, incidentally, than
those at Hamburg.
In the Hagenbeck establishment the
bitches separating the animals from
the humans are 30 skilfully concealed
that one has the impression Of wander
ing about IN real jungle, but at Re
gents Park not even the most TIM
orous Zoologist would have any fear OF
any OF the beasts getting into close
quarters with him. for it is dispirit-
ingly apparent that they are imprisoned
quite as etfectually as II they were IN
cages.
The plan of the Mappin Terraces,
intellectually, has ELECTED general APP
probation, because the spectator can
stand at the foot of them and get
general view of all the Enclosures,
which are arranged in the form of
quadrant of circle. The outermost
and highest portion Of the quadrant
is crescent shaped curve OF rock
work, rising into four peaks, and suit
able for mountain goats. sheep and
chamois. which seem more at home in
their new quarters than do the bears
and deer in the other sections of the
terraces. Probably when the fora pc
culiar TO the habitats of the various
animals is spread out over the con.
crete the effect will be far more illu-
sorry and attractive than il is at the
present time.
The terraces, which cost approx
mately Sl2b.00o, are the gift OF the
late Newton Mappin. who was head of
the big hardware firm Of Mappin &
Webb.

Sir PERCY Scott Dreams OF
Many Without BdttleshibS
Aeroplanes and Submarines, He
Thinks, Will One Day Be
Sole Craft Utilized.
From Tho Tribune corrcspondentI

From The Tribune Correspondent
Londcn. June p. Sir Percy SCOTS
recent letter to "T'he Times" in which
he prophesied the near doom Of Dread
noughts and the substitution OF sub
marines and aeroplanes as the battle
fleets Of great naval powers, has
aroused a tremendous degree OF inter
est and brought forth a huge bulk
Of counter criticism. At the same time
there is much agreement with Sir
Percy's theories in varying degrees.
IL is hardly possible TO classify the
whole mass Of correspondence that Sir
Percy has brought forth opinions 80
widely divergent. There are some Gu-
thorties who condemn the whole dis
cussion Of the matter, seemingly on
the ground that SO much money has
been spent on building battleships that
II is a wrong policy to suggest 20
other nations that they may build
cheaper type Of vessel more effective
than warships and thus tip them eff
rs to the best method to destroy the
immense capital England has invested
in Dreadnoughts.
This argument. of course, loses sight
Of the fact that other naval experts
might be as able as Sir Percy in dis
corning the power of naval warfare.
There are others who consider Sir Per
cy's theory in the words of Lord sgd
cnham, "a fantastic dream" while still
others think that the time has come
for a reconsideration of the whole field
OF naval policy.
Submerged Battlcships Soon.
John Leyland. editor Of THE Navy"
is Of the opinion that future navy
builders must hasten slowly on the
line pointed out b. Sir Percy. lie
foresees in the course OF time species
Of submerged battleshlps.
The real reason at the back OF SIR
Percy's argument in favor OF sub
marines seems TO have been disclosed
by an ANONYMOUS correspondent of one
paper, who tells secret hitherto care
fully kept by the admiralty. He says
that in last years man9uvres' which,
according 20 the published reports,
ended in the triumphant defence of
England against an opposing fleet. IN
truth had n directly contrary end. the
facts being that through the use of
submarines practically every warShlp,
certainly every battleshir, battle cruis-
er and war vessel of sufficient power to
offer any worthy opposition to the
cnemy's fleet was theoretically wiped
out Of existence by the submarines OF
the enemy's fleet.
In opposing Sir Percy's argument
against battlcships. however, this anon
ymous correspondent goes on 20 eN-
plain that submarines were successful
because they were practically set
adrift by the commander of the
enemy" and left to work out cam
paign Of their own, while the principal
feet of the enemy" kept at sea out
of reach of the defending feet until it
had been destroyed by the submarines,
whereupon the enemy" came into the
coast, bombarded towns. landed troops
and did what they pleased. He seems
to lose sight of the fact that this Is
exactly what in actual warfare would

The strongest argument found
against Sir Percy so far seems to be
the one that submarines and aero
planes have as yet had no practical
test in actual warfare. their duties
having been limited almost entirely to
rnyal manoeUyres. in which they OPP

In the Russo-Japanese War the
