As the spring approaches and the rush of winter work drops off a little it is a good time to stop and get our bearings During the press of the high season we cannot do mpre than manage the case work from day tt day and we cannot see it's relation to the welfare of the community as a whole. Now. when we have more time. and while the events are still fresh in our minds, this relation ought to be noted. So, though this is not the beginning of a new year when good resolutions are usually in order it may be worth while to study our case work iii the light of cor1mu- nifty needs.
 Child Problems Growing.
 "The Child Welfare Exhibit, good as it was, did not bring the millenni- una. Child welfare problems are still with us and are growing con- stantly more insistent in their de- mand for solution. Our best efforts in case work are frequently made in- effective because we have exhausted local and state resources and can not take the next step that would put the seal of success on our accom- plishment These child problems come under four heads
 First, Recreational. It grows more and more apparent that the young people of New Britain need more neighborhood social centers where they can have pleasant times under proper oversight and where there is some one to take an interest in their individual affairs Often we are confronted with the impossibility of wearing young wayward folks from their undesirable pursuits and companions because we have no att tractive substitute to offer. The boys are perhaps too old for the Boys club, and need an unpretentious club in their own neighborhood.
 For the wayward girls it is even harder to provide recreation; it is
New Britain herald., 1914-04-09

often not wise to encourage them to join the evening classes of the Y. w.. c A. or Working Girls club because they ought to be kept away from down town and all it's alluring street corners, movies" and other unsupervised amusements; they ought to learn that good times can be had nearer home, but how can they learn this if we do not give them a chance? Another recreation al need in New Britain is better su- pervision of the commercialized amusements. But more than this, some way ought to be devised by which the great possibilities of the moving picture show will not be left entirely in the hands of those in- terested from commercial point of view only. .
 How to Help Ambitious.
 The second group of child prob lems brings us to education and child labor questions. 1t is with great in- terest that we shall watch the effect of the vocational school. It is cer- tainly much-needed institution. Without stopping to discuss the many children who are out of school and yet not at work, I should like to speak k of another matter. Twice during the winter and several times in previous years our case work has brought Us in contact with bright ambitious boys who are tremendously eager for an education and who show real ability. Being in most cases the sons of widows they have had to go to work as soon as they become fourteen years old. The work they get is un- skilled and the pay is very small. After graduating from night school there are no educational facilities left open to them. How one longs to be able to send them back to school and ay the mothers the equivalent of their wages in the form of scholar ships

The gold which was brought to Cher

The gold was intended as an advance

mad, by which the United States would
deposit cash at Washington to the credit
OF France. while France would do the
same for the United States In Paris and
thus enable Frenchmen in America and
Americans in France to obtain cash.

REASSURES AMERICANS.
ConsuI-GenerRI at Dresden Says
Friends Needn't worry.

WAsHlNGToN, Aug. 22.-Most reassur-
ing dispatches were received at the State
Department to-day regarding the safety
of Americans in Europe.
Consul-General Bergholz cabled from
Dresden that the failure to find Americans
inquired about In that city should cause
no anxiety among their friends here, as
hundreds left Dresden for the coast at the
outbreak Of the war. All Americans and
their property are safe In Dresden, he
states, and the same satisfactory condi-
lions are reported from Aix-la- Chapelle,
Liege, Verviers and Spa. From Portugal
came the report that there was no need OF
financial relief for Americans there.

SAY KAISER ACTS PIRATES PART.
London Charges violation Of Hagae
Rules at Brussels.

LONDON. Aug. 22,-The newspapers
here charge that Germany has broken
all the rules of The Hague conventions
in demanding tribute to the amount Of
s4O,000,OO0 from Brussels after the Bel
gian troops had evacuated that city. and
asking also a contribution OF $40, 000, 900
from Lege.
The levy at Brussels means $50 n head
for every inhabitant. NJ. Hallett. the
treasurer of the city, replied that
neither torture nor the torch could exact
such a fine and added that the demand
was a fragrant violation of the rules OF
war.
Several papers express tho opinion
that tine United States and other coun-
tries which are not involved IN the pres
ent war should take this matter up at
once with a view of obtaining adhesion
to the rulings of The Hague conven-
tons. The Daily Chronicle says:
There is no way of explaining the
demand on Brussels except as a bold
defiance of the humanitarian code to
which Germany pledged herself years
ago. We observe in IL the odlous pratt
cal practice of nations in the seven
tecnth and eighteenth centuries. 1t is
the morality of Frederick the Great to
which modern Germany reverts, and
once again "A scrap of paper with her
signature on 1t seems to be of no force
to deter her.
'"There are still at present in the world
an important number Of neutral States.
These States ought to come together
and agree on some common action to
uphold the observance of the Hague
and Geneva conventions. otherwise the
international law which is the national
interest of each of them, as well as the
common interest of civilization. seems
only too likely to perish in the present
struggle"
