and dement's have been inaugural
ed and is rather rigidly enforced.
A boy earning twenty-five hundred
merits under the merit system in
vogue earns his parole. He is often
paroled under the custody of his
parents or work is found for him
with some responsible person.
Supt. Moore has eliminated from
the environment of the Institute all
idea of a penal reformatorv, and a
visitor is at once struck with the
idea that he is visiting a Military
College for youths, Mrs. Moore is
mother to all of the youngsters
and they all seem to love her and
her blue eyed little baby girl. Supt.
Moore believes firmly in the old
adage that all work and no play
makes Jack a dull day." The boys
are we'll treated, have good healthy
food, and a large airy domitorv
with individual white beds.
Having visited both the Penal
Farms attached to the Penitentiary
and the Louisiana Training Insti-
tute | would that every mother and
father of the State of Louisiana
could and would read the following
comparison, and note the injustice
that is being legally done to the
youths of the State. There are
boys under the age of seventeen in
both institutions. On the Penal
farms they are clothed in stripes,
they work under the barrel of a
shotgun. Their pictures adorn the
Roeues Gallery. and they associate
with criminals. Their education is
one cleaned from criminals stepped
in every crime. Their lectures are
the tales of crime committed by
older men. They play cards and
shoot craps. When their sentence
expires they graduate proficient
criminals instead of repentant law
breakers. They are bounded to
death by the Police, who know
their number, and take to crime
again out of self preservation. At
the Louisiana Training Institute all
environment of prison is removed
and that of a home takes its place.
They are educated under the in
! fluence of good woman and
mother. They receive a public
school education, and are fought to
till the soil. They associate only
with BOYS of their own age. They
have their hours of PLAY and re-
ceive the teachings of the Church
of their choice. In time they earn
their parole and having lost no
time in school they are none the
worse for an act of youthful indis-
cretion and in the future will make
good useful citizens,

CANADIANS SUSTAIN
VERY HEAVY LOSSES

Ottawa, Ont, April 27.-That the
Canadian division was holly engaged
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday is
indicated by list of eighty casual
ties among officers alone. The list is
admittedly incomplete, as there are
no artillery officers mentioned, though
a battery of Canadian six-inch guns
was taken by the Germans and later
recaptured.
The Canadians did we'll. Sir John
French said in telegram to General
Anderson, commander of the Canadi-
an division:

Canadian troops my admiration for
the. gallant fight they made The Sec
rotary of war said their gallantry and
dissemination are appreciated in Eng

wounded
More troops will he dispatched at
once from Canada.

CALL TO ARMS STOPS
ITALIAN INDUSTRIES

Verona, Italy, April 27.-Dispatches
received from the frontier describing
conditions in the province of Trent
state that commerce and industry are
paralyzed and agriculture is at a
standstill because of the lack of work
men, 10000 having been called to the
colors. All horses and oxen have
been requisitioned
The lack of sulphate of copper, used
to kill parasites which infest the null
berry tree, has seriously threatened
the silk worm industry, one of the
chief resources of that section.
Austrian military authorities are
said to be rapidly completing their
preparations for defense. Twelve
thousand troops are CHARTERED at
Trent, 1000 at Rovereto, 1000 at Riva

er places. Arrangements are being
made for housing 5000 Prussians, g.
900 at Trent and 1000 at Mezza Lom-
bardo.

London, April 27.-What some mill
tary critics are inclined to pronounce
the greatest battle of the war" is
now under way on the User canal.
Official reports are both meager and
contradictory, but it generally is be-
neved in London that the Germans
again are making desperate efforts to
break through to the French channel
ports.
Some such recrudescence of the
German offensive has been anticipat-
ed by the war experts, but this move
ment, forestalling the long predicted
allied offensive, comes as q distinct
shock to the general public.
1t is impossible as yet to get a
clear idea of the extent of the Ger
man movement, but some special dis
patches to London papers describe it
Is so important that the Germans are
credited with bringing Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg from the east to con
duct the operations, and Emperor
William himself is reported as pro.
ceeding to the User front.
In the eastern arena of hostilities
the Carpathians compete with the
User for interest. The exit into Hun
gary formed by the Uzsok pass again
is becoming the scene of sanguinary
fighting, with neither side making any
great gains. Warsaw, as a German
objective, is dimmed by the impor
lance of keeping the Russians out of
Hungary and the Germans are report.
ed as withdrawing their lines from
in front OF the Polish capital for new
concentration along the fronts of
Cracow and in the Carpathians.
The fair way between England and
Holland still is being kept clear of
commercial shipping. Operations in
the North sea are still a deep mys.
terry.

ed women threw their children into the
Araxes river or into pools to end suf-
fering from cold and hunger in the
terrible exodus of 10000 or 10000
Armenians and HISTORIAN Christians
from Azerbaijan province, rumors of
which have been confirmed. More
than $500 unable to flee have been
massacred by the Mohammedans,
1000 have died from disease in the
compounds of the American mission
in Urumiah, and as many more refu-
gees in the Caucasus have lost their
lives by sickness.
When it became known that the
Russian forces had left Urumiah 49,
900 Christians fled, most of them
without money, bedding or provisions.
A majority of the people started
out afoot. through mud knee deep
across the mountain passes in freeZ-
ing weather. At Diltman they were
joined by many more from Salinas
plain. But for Father de Cross of the
Roman Catholic mission at Hosrova
near here, the disaster might have
become historic. After assuring the
safety of the sisters of the mission
Father de Cross joined the pilgrims
and managed to procure bread and
shelter for many of them. The cara
vans were so crowded many slept in
the mud and snow. Children were
born on the roadside or in the corner
of a carayansary.
Keeps Diary on Exodus.
Issac Yonan, a. graduate of the
Louisville (Ky.) theological seminary,
was among the refugees. He kept
diary of the happenings during the
exodus. This relates that among the
refugees from Urumiah was an old
man and his two daughters.in.law.
with their six young children, three
of them babies in arms.
They were eight days on the way,
averaging twenty miles daily through
the mud. The old man became stuck
fast in a pool and at his own request
was left there to die. One woman
gave birth to child in the march
and an hour afterwards was plodding
along again with the other refugees.
Two of the children were tossed in
to a caravansary, but were taken up
by Cossacks along with forty other
persons. The soldiers displayed great
humanity, often giving up their hors-
es to the women.
One young woman carried her IA
Their for five days, when he died.
John Mooshie, graduate of Col
gate university, an editor of the Uru-
miah Star related tale of the pande-
monium when 200 refugees became
fastened in a pass and were killed in
the tangle.
In one day twenty persons died at
railway station at Nakhitchevan,
across. the border in Russia The en-
tire casualties aggregated hundreds.
Many died unheeded and unmourned;
in fact those who died seemed to be
envied by the living.
