LA7|MER CR|T|C|SES
|NDULGENT PARENTS
Judge Of Juvenile Court Gives
Reasons Resulting in Chill.
dren's Delinquency.

Juvenile delinquencies usually result
from conditions for which the children
are not responsible"
Judge ]. Wilmer Latimer. Of the Jul
venile Court. made this statement be-
fore the weekly conference on charities
and corrections at Raucher's this morn
ing. and outlined some Of the causes for
such delinquency as:
Parents are too indulgent.
Mother or father Is lntemperate.
Mother must work all day away from
home.
Judge Latimer exploded some popular
ideas regarding the functions Of proba-
ton officers. These officers are not em-
ployed to exercise a sort of police sur
veillance over probationers. he said.
Probation is q means provided by the
state for study of the child and his en-
vironment,' according to Judge Lati-
mer land for systematic endeavor to
correct his evil tendencies. or the evil
conditions with which he is surrounded.
This system has come with the recog-
milton that the child should be kept in
his home as long as 1t is possible to
bring about the necessary reformation
there, rather than tatken at once out
of his home and away from his family
to some institution"
Judge Latimer described the Satur-
day morning conferences in his court,
where the cases Of all probationers are
discussed by the staff.
The District workhouse at Occoquan
was described as an excellent cure for
the drink habit Judge Latimer paid
a high tribute to w. II. Whitaker. su-
perintendent of the workhouse, for GO
ing beyond his official duties to help
get positions for men as they came out
of his institution.
Back Of each nonsupport case In his
court. the Judge said. Is some condition
which might be renedicd by proper su-
pervision. The number of probation Of
ficers provided for the court at present
do not permit the proper inspection OF
these cases. Niolators of the nonsupport
law ahe the only offenders for wh2m
probation Is not provided.
These same conditions which lead to
nonsupport cases later lead to the ap-
pearance of children In the court
Hence the cost of furnishing eff
cient probation service" the speaker
said. ''in the fathers case would be an
ounce Of prevention. which would save
the pound Of cure that may later have
to be expended upon the child"
William Fl. Baldwin presided at the
meeting. Miss Margaret Simpson. dis
trict visitor OF the Associated Charities.
opened the discussion.

SEE NO PROTEST. IN
STEAMERS SEIZURE
Officials Expect U. S. Cotton
Vessels, Held for inspection,
Will Be Released.

Although the American barkentine
Pass OF Balmsha, and the steamer
Vigilancia. Gotten laden, destined for
Germany, have been taken prisoner by
British warships. officials here today
did not believe they would provide the
basis for the first protest against the
promised Anglo-Frcnch blockade OF
German ports. Advices from London
indicated that Ambassador Page has
been informed that they have been
detained for Inspection" and ii is ex-
pected they will be permitted to con-
tinue their voyage. having sailed be-
fore Premier .Asquith announced the
allies intentions. And, even in the
case OF the Dacia. formerly a German
owned steamer. it was understood to-
day that she Is likely to be released
on bond by the French government.
Whether due to the fact that the Brit
ish have succeeded in sinking almost
as many German submarines as the
latter have British vessels. or to the
knowledge that this Government was
determined to stand firmly for Its rights
under international law. England sand
France seem to be displaying a con-
ciliatory attitude.
= The order in council pfoclaiming the
nature OF the blockade and the manner
OF its enforcement has not yet been
issued. And the British and French
governments have announced that all
goods contracted for OF German manu-
facture prior to the announcement Of
their plans, will be permitted to be car
ricd to their destination. This means
that enormous quantities Of German
dyestuNs and other articles contracted
for by Americans during January and
February, and which are to be sent to
Amsterdam and Rotterdam for shipment,
will be permitted to come to this
country.
This in itself is admittedly most ma
terial concession, and will prevent
serious injury to American commerce
pending the negotiations that will follow
the PRONUNCIATION OF the order In coun-
ell, II the latter really is issued.
Reports that the allies were hoping
they would be able to seize American
securities which were being sent from
Germany to the United States to be
turned into cash were not taken SER
iously here. officials pointed out that
ever since the war began all of the
European countries have been unloading
securities in the United States wherever
they could find market. but that in
nearly every instance the bonds and
shares were transferred to the United
States by trusted courier. and not
through the mails.

TWILIGHT" BIRTH
METHOD EXPLAINED
Mrs. Francis X. Carmody, in
Lecture, Emphasizes Rapid
ConvaIescence.

Telling her personal experience with
the Twilight Sleep" Mrs. Francis Y.
Carmody, OF New York. spoke at the
Columbia Theater yesterday afternoon
on behalf Of the Twilight Sleep Asso-
citation.
After Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley had in
troduced her, Mrs Carmody prefaced
her talk with an emphatic denial that
the lecture course offered to mothers
by the association had been financed by
companies manufacturing scopolamin or
by the magazine that first presented an
explanation OF the Twilight Sleep"
On the contrary. she said, the lectures
have been planned to give an intimate
account OF the method with the object
Of rousing American mothers to de-
mand the same treatment in their own
cities.
When Mrs. Carmody reached Frei-
burg seven months ago, she found the
doctors at first unwilling to give her
treatment, owing to the criticism of
painlessness. Mrs. Carmody emphasized
the rapid convalescence as another BEN
etit.
According to the speaker. the scopo-
lamin method has greater advantages
than the use OF ether in that the mus
cles retain their power OF expanding
and contracting. The time Of birth ia
conserved thereby. she said
Mrs. Carmody advocated the estab.
lishment OF a postgraduate school OF
the Freiburg order in this country ia
train physicians in the proper use OF
the German method.
