Incapacity-Or Worse?

The Washington dispatches of THE
Sun yesterday contained the sub
Joined specific details concerning a
subject Of the utmost Importance to
this nation:
'Secretary BRYAN has received a com
munication dated January 10 making the
fact unm!stlbablv clear that the British
Government would regard tho purchase
and operation Of informed German yes
sells by the United States as an unneu-
tral act
Developments here. however, indicate
that Mr.. BRYAN has not seen 1T 20 in
form tho President or his associates in
the State Department or Administration

bill OF what he has learned OF tho Brit
ish Governments views
AT the White House il was declared
there is no such communication.
Representative UNDERWOOD on the
floor OF the House made a similar state
meni.
Secretary BRYAN himself was out OF
town to-day"
This communication, IL Is plain.
must have a powerful influence on the
ultimate fate of the Presidents ship

Has It been wilfully suppressed to
prevent its contents becoming known
while that measure of folly and lndis-
erection Is pending?
or have we only another incident

the obnoxious force bill was defeated
by the fighting spirit of a determined
minority. 1t was righteous fill
buster, supported by the liberal senti-
ment Of the country, which applauded
the victory won.
Mr.. WILLIAMS estimates that the
country will have TO pay 100000 for
the speeches made in the Senate
against the ship purchase bill to pre-.
vent vote upon 1t. We think that
he gave free rein to his Imagination,
but the really pertinent question IL
what Government ownership Of feet
Of cargo carriers flying the American
flag and Filling free competition would
cost the country economically, not TO
lay stress upon the peril of warlike
complications growing out Of seizures
by the British and French cruisers.
What trifle would be the payment
of such a bill as the Hon. JOHN SHARP
WILLIAMS conJures up in a partisan
spirit compared with the losses that
would ultimately result from the IN
vestment to put the Government in the
shipping business. How infiniteslmal
would be the expenditure for the
speeches Of Republican Senators COM
pared with the stupendous cost of
war with the Allies, with billions for
pensions in It's train.

Stories Of adventure, activity, excite.
ment are not apt to he harmful II the
moral aspect be not distorted Dr.
HEALr instances Treasure Island" as
the type Of work that gratifies un.
quenchable instincts of youth without
a trace Of evil stimulation. But the
cheap trash written from the vicious
point Of view enhances the depraved
taste. The habit grows like the pas
sion for alcohol or cigarettes.
Commonly such books are found on
youthful offenders and from question
ing it is learned that their effect often
becomes obsesslonal. But even so
there remains ground for doubt as to
whether they are a direct. causative
element in creating crime or only a
secondary one helping to stimulate
into activity natural failings, or ten
denotes developed from bad surround
ings or other special conditions. On
the whole, the effect Of Dr. HEALrs
researches Is rather to lower the de-
gree of importance to he attached to
literary or representative causation Of
crime and to concentrate attention on
the actualities Of life, home. school.
the streets, neglect Of education. and
priyation of such strong interests as
congenial work and healthy amuse-
ment.

Reading and Crime.

The oft repeated charge that the re-
ports Of crimes in newspapers tend to
develop crimnality, or anu-social con
duct as the experts prefer TO say
nowadays, is met and disposed of eff
fectively by Dr. WILLIAM HEALY, d.
rector Of the Psychopathic Institute
of the Juvenile Court of Chicago. In
his book, just published, The Indi-
vidual Delinquent" he says plainly
that in no one single case has he been
able to trace crimlnality to the read
ing of newspapers
The common assumptions on the
subject have only surface plausi-
bility. Crime, after all, Is only a small
element in the news. The daily pa
per 80 far from arousing attention to
II as a rule swamps It with a diversity
of interests which tend to minimize
It's influence. Whenever crime is dis
played the glamour is all taken away.
The criminal invariably gets the
worst Of IL in the newspaper story He
is hunted wretch or a miserable
prisoner. He is shown haggard and
hopeless. His sufferings are re-
counted
Anyway, the majority OF criminal
careers are begun before the news
paper reading age IS reached. Actual
inquiry shows that young offenders
hardly ever notice anything in news
papers except comic pictures They
show no interest in newspaper reports
of crime, and no trace Of hero worship
OF romantic sentiment as attached to
criminality was found to arise from
newspaper articles. In a word, the
budding criminal Is not infatuated by
anything in the papers, and to those
Of older growth the newspaper treat
ment OF the topic must be SOLDERING
and admonitory. The only direct bad
effects of newspaper reading are found
in occasional unbalanced minds and
in such cases the result is more likely
to be false self-accusation Of some
crime that is attracting public atten-
ton than any attempt to initiate Il.
Far different is the influence OF the
cheap crime story on the younger gen.
Grafton. Its peniciouS influence DR.
HEALY says can be proved by numer-
OILS cases. Along with morbid pictures
Of all SORTS, had literature is fertile

difference in effect from the newspa-

ALBANY, Jan 3l.-The Public Haal,n

THAT AMAZING DECISION.
Another Case In which the Treasury
MisStutes the Law.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir. The
Treasury Department regulations I'm re-
gard to the levy OF the Income tax say.
referring to the section OF the law i'm
posing the additional tax, said section
also imposes an additional tax on all net
incomes OF individuals exceeding t20, 600
as follows one per centum Gq) on in
comes exceeding $50. 00O and not exceed
coed $50 900, and two per centum C2g)"
and so forth.
This 10 misstatement Of the fact.
said section imposes no such tax.
II imposes "an additional income tax
or one per centum ugl per annum
upon the amount by which the total net
Income exceeds 10000 and does not eN.
coed $4,000, and two per ccntum C2oo),
&c.
Again. the regulations say "In COM
putting the normal tax there shall be
deducted from the net income" three
classes Of items, lettercd a, and g
Division g reads:
The specific exemption ~ $4,000 or
$4,000 as the case may be-"
According to the Treasury re1ila-
tions, therefore, the specific amounts OF
$4,000 or $4,000 are exempt from the
normal tax only, but are subject to the
add tional tax Paragraph y of section
Of the law defines what shall consu-
tute net income. and then says:
'Fhlt I'm computing net incume FOR
purposes OF the normal tax" certain
allowances may be deducted. but the nl-
lowanoes enumerated do not include tn,
specific Items of $4,000 or $1,000 These
latter are placed by Themselves in a
separate paragraph, g. which says:
There shall ba deducted from Tho
amount Of the net income of each of
said persons the sum OF So
00o, Plus 1000" &C.
by placing them in separate para
graphs, the first OF which specifies that
the deductions shall he for the purpose
or tho normal tax, and the latter Of
which specifies that the deduction shall
be made from net income without mem
uouing any limitation. the law makes a
clear distinction between those Items
which may be deducted in calculating
the normal tax only and those which
may he deducted In calculating the ad-
ditional tax AZ well
In other words. the Treasury Depart

Battle Cruisers for the United States
Navy.

Representative HoBsoN. who failed
TO persuade the House Naval Commit
tee TO include two battle cruisers IN
its building programme recently, de-
clares that power and speed will win
the sea battles of the future" In Adj
miral BEATTY's triumph in the North
Sea fight Captain HoBsoN sees a les
son for the United States navy.
The General Board recommended
two battle cruisers in addition 10 four
batteships in 1912, and Secretary
MEYER said in his report of that year
These vessels battle cruisersl have
from other types or combinations of
types. To further neglect their neces-
sity Is deliberately to weaken our ma
val strength" But the Secretary went
on TO say that the paramount need"
Of the navy was battleships, and that
the board does not recommend any
modification of the building pro-
gramme by which preference in build
ing is given to battle cruisers or other
fleet units and auxilIaries which will
interfere with the ultimate battleshlp
strength" Evidently the General
Board was not greatly in earnest
about the value of battle cruisers TO a
defensive navy. In It's latest recon-
mendations November, 1014) the
General Board made no mention Of
battle cruisers, and It said this:
I'm tho matter OF battleships the Cen
eral Board remains OF tho opinion that
Il has always held, that command OF the
sea can be gained and held only by ves-
sells that can take and keep tho sea in
all times and in all weathers and over
come the strongest enemy vessels that
may be brought against them. Other
types are valuable and have their par
tlcular uses, all OF which are indis-
pensable but limited in character"
The General Board Is OF course not
lnfallibe. In the light Of the pretty
thorough test OF the British big gun
battle cruisers in the North Sea fight
would the General Board. II It could
rewrite It's report of last November,
repeat the Recommendation made in
1912 for two battle cruisers? We are
inclined to think that It would. At
the same time, battle cruisers were
not pitted against battleShips in the
North Sea encounter, and gun range
with superior smashing power was
even more Of factor in the British
victory than speed.
If, for the sake Of illustration, the
Lion, Tiger and Princess Royal had
had to deal with battleships like the
Oklahoma and Nevada, which carry
main batteries Of ten II inch guns, as
compared with the British cruisers
eight 1870 inch guns, the British ships
would probably have been sunk, or at
least driven OF badly damaged, al
though the speed Of the Americans is
but twenty-one knots compared with
