Will represent solely the lndlVloual
sinner and not an organization. The
panderer and the unspea2able things
that are associated with him are go
ing to leave Chicago"
That is the most human thing
Mayor Harrison has said since l have
known anything about him. l have
my own opinions about vice and its
cure, but don't know about segre-
cation as compared with scattered
and covered-up vice,
However, the mayor strikes at the
great difficulty in the regulation of
prostitution through the police. When
police regulation is undertaken the
administration of law is placed in the
hands of the police, and whoever is
violating the law in the tenderloin, OF,
segregated district, is at the mercy
of the police. That leads to graft
which means that those who violate
the law pay policemen for the privi-
lege. Those who don't pay are liable
to arrest. ~
Protection of prostitution has led
to commercialized vice, and an army
of men have made their living, in one
way or another, by managing it and
the women engaged in it. %.
These men become part of the
political system and have seldom
been molested, although their slaves
have been arrested and fined.
When something happened to
bring the segregated district to public
notice policemen were made the
goats, although their superiors knew
that vice existed in their districts and
winked at it's existence.
If at any time Mayor Harrison had
taken the stand he now takes openly,
his orders would have been obeyed.
The segregated district could have
been closed, every public house of
prostitution closed and kept closed
and policemen would have kept out
of trouble.

has taken an open stand on segre-
gated vice and Roger SuIlivan's can
didacy for U. S. senator, and has
stated his position better than it has
been stated by any of his ieutenants.
Concerning vice he says: 81 have
reached the conclusion finally that
my ideas of the vice question have
been wrong. For many years l did
not view segregation as an alarming
development in the treatment of the
problem. have no hesitancy in sub
scribing now to the general indict-
ment of the segregation plan. It's
worst feature to me is the corrupting
influence it exercises over the entire
law enforcing arm of the govern
ment. Segregation means protected
vice and you can't have protected
vice without running the big risk of
seeing your law enforcing officials
corrupted. Grating off these
pitiable features is unspeakable, and
at that it is but the first step in a
career that sinks deeper in infamy
very rapidly. The policeman who
takes this kind of graft will take graft
from pickpockets, thugs, gunner and
burglars.
Chicago is through with the seq
regated vice idea. Chicago, as I'M
derstand the situation, is ready to
fight every kind of crime and make
no exceptions. There is but one way
to fight crime and that is to fight it
honestly and unfinchingly and eter-
nally.
I'VE will never entirely eliminate
prostitution in Chicago, any more
than they will in any other large city
of the country. But we can reduce
it to the smallest minimum We can
drive it under cover. We can keep
it off the streets and out of public
places.

land When Cavalry Engagement,

tie Line In France.
London, Dec. 15.-The Servians have
re-entered Belgrade, their old capital
according to a dispatch from Nish.
The invaders were not in possession
of Belgrade very long, for they cap
tured the city on Dec. after having
besieged it since July 20.
When war was declared the Servian
government moved from Belgrade to
Kraguyevats and later went farther
south to Nish. where it remains.
The most striking feature of the of
fetal news is the candid admission by
the Austrian government of the defeat
of the Austrian army in Servia and
apparently of the abandonment of its
third attempt to invade the territory
of its small Slav neighbor.
While attributing the failure to the
enemy's superior force, as all govern
ment bulletins explain failures, the
Austrian war office announces plainly
an extended retirement and heavy
losses.
This communication follows:
Our offensive movement directed in
a southeasterly direction from the
river Drina, encountered southeast Of
Naljevo a superior force of the enemy.
Our advance had not merely to be
stopped, but we were compelled also
to make more extended retirements of
our troops. which for many weeks
have fought obstinately and brilliantly,
but with many losses.
New decisions and measures cOnse
quently will be taken to repel the
enemy" adds the Austrian statement
Apparently that means that the Aus
trian army directed against Seryia
will assume a defensive line.

MAY NOT GET HIS SHIPS
Colonel Cocktails Demand Likely to
Be Ignored.


Be Ignored.
Washington, Dee. I5.-The request
of Colonel Cocktails for the services
of torpedo boat dcstroyers to be used
as a police force to compel the OBJ
servancs of the regulations regarding
the neutrality of the canal was re-
ferred by Secretary OF War Garrison
TO Secretary of State Bryan and Soc
rotary of the Navy Daniels. Though
conferences were held by the offcia 5
of the three departments no decision
was reached.
1t developed that the navy depart
ment does not want to detach destroy
ers from other duties to the service OF
Governor Cocktails in the Panama
canal waters. 1t now seems doubtful
whether Goethals will get the ships
he has asked for. In many quarters,
however, the opinion was expressed
that swift armed vessels OF some sort
should have been furnished Cocktails
for policing the canal and adjacent
waters at the time the United States
neutrality was declared and certainly
as soon as the special regulations re-
garding the use of radio stations in
United States jurisdiction as special
rules for the canal were promulgated.

seven miles southeast of Mlawa. The
defeat forced the German left wing
