BOYS BREAK LAW IN IGNORANCE OF CRIME
AND PENALTY-WHY NOT TEACH THEM?
BY JANE WHITAKER

whenever social service workers
take up the boy problem they take it
up from the angle of Institutions for
correction or instruction, and that
despite the fact so obvious that insti-
tutions have failed either as instruct
Ors or as corrective measures. All
that institutions have succeeded in
doing is that which a states attorney
admitted to me not long since
locking away a menace to society
for period of time"-and with this
fact before us we stand fair to be
nation of institutions as we go on
manufacturing criminals and build
ing new edi1ces in which to confne
them.
Occasionally some one speaks of
preventive measure. but it is like
whisper in a great babble of noise
it is unheeded and dies away.
Yet there is one preventive measure
so badly needed it seems almost i'm
possible that even the blind have not
had it forced on some one of their
other senses-it is the necessity of
warning boys of the penalty of crime.
They do not know. They do not
realize that if they are caught in
some crime, petty or serious, they
will be given some form of punish
ment, perhaps. They do not know
what is the percentage in favor of
their being caught. They do not
know how many seemingly inoffen-
sive acts are violations of laws to pro-
tect society.
Not long since a Judge looked at
me speculatively. 81 would like to
have you spend a few nights in the
different police stations" he said,
land have you write them up
l laughed. 81 am willing to be
smuggled in answered, ''but have
a fair knowledge of the law and am
not likely to break it."
Aren't your" He smiled. ''You
could be arrested at this moment.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-01-22

some CITY ordnance, and we are SIM
ply fortunate that the attention of
the city's police force is not turned
our way as it is turned boy-ward,
but how many of us know the penalty
OF the ordinances we violate?
Boys do not know. Even those
boys guilty of hold-ups do not know
the probability of their being caught.
They do not know that at the present
time every boy to every policeman is
a criminal until he gives an alibi, and
that the chance of being arrested for
nothing is so great that there is a
trif1ing percentage of escape from ar
rest for the boy guilty of any offense.
These boys come into the boys
court. They know nothing of the :
law. They know there is some sort
of punishment that can be melted out
to them, but mark this-they believe
it is not the law they need fear, but
the sharp tongue of the states at
torney that may cause the judge with,
a merciful light in his eyes to decide
they must be punished
Their eyes rove from the states at
torney to the judge-their eyes that
seem so Indifferent to the result the
while their hands are closing and I'M
closing or trembling as they try to
hold them still. If you could throw
back the flesh from their souls you
would see the same culver that is in
their hands.
1t is not what is the law. 1t is,
will the Judge be merciful? The
states attorney demands the pound
of flesh. The judge decides against
the boy.
For one moment there is naked
fear in the eyes of the boy, fear of the
unknown, and then contempt. But
though in his brain he is saying 81
don't give DAMN" he is sick with
dread and bitter that he didn't get the
mercy he thinks the guy before him"

Dispatch Referred To.

The Associated Press dispatch
which was the subject of DIR. thinner
mann's discussion dealt with the Va
rious questions in the international
situation to which President Wilson
and the State Department are devoting
their attention. The dispatch declar-
ed that the most spectacular and dis
quieting of the problems was the sub
marine situation with Germany, five
critical cases being investigated, one
with the loss of six American lives and
two others having to do with Ameri-
can ships. The American attitude was
described as uncompromisng- Ships
must not be sunk without warning or
without provision for the safety of
passengers facing high seas or distant
from shore.
The relations with the entente allies
were declared to be less clear-cut and
less dangerous, but perhaps more
the questions with the en-
tente involving the blockade, the CEN
sorship of mails and the black list"

Division Of Opinion on Amer

BERLIN TO KEEP PROMISES

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. December 14.-Dr. Alfred
Zimmerman. secretary for foreign af-
fairs. discussed yesterday with a mem-
ber OF the staff of the Overseas News
Agency the impression created In Ger
many by the attitude of the United
States toward Germany and Great
Britain as outlined in the Associated
Press Washington dispatch Of Novem-
her 10. DIR. Zimmerman said:
"As to the impression created: Almost
since the beginning of the war two
currents OF opinion could be discerned
In Germany. Judging by the rules of
neutrality the United States Intention
ally favored Great Britain in an almost
outspoken fashion. according to some:
others took the view that the United
States was neutral in spirit and action.

The discussion between the advocates
of these two opinions was sometimes
very animated. This discussion was
reopened by the dispatch In question.

Captains Offered Prizes.

THE London Times of November 2l
published a letter from a well known
member of parliament and shipowner
CRobert P. Houston). promising to
every English-born captain a prize of
$4,000. who. with an English merchant
ship. destroyed a German submarine.
Houston. on this occasion, added that
English sailors ought to return to the
methods Of Hawkins and Drake. or
should initiate the example set by Nell
son in the Copenhagen case-they ought
to take the sea law into their own
hands. Houston was fully conscious
that he advocated and advised actions
contrary to the law of nations.
We further know that hostile SUBJ
marines have attacked and in some
cases have sunk German merchantmen
without the slightest warning Thus
were sunk the German steamers Burge-
meister. Votmelle, Dorita. the Elbe and
enemy submarines with artillery or
torpedoes without the shadow of a
warning.
These facts. Of course. justify the
suspicion that among other German
steamers which are simply overdue or
have not returned several met their
end In the same fashion. In one case,
that Of the steamer Kolga, we know
human lives were lost and survivors
declared, that British submarine
calmly steered around the sinking ship

to explain the feeling Of the German
population
Says Promise Will Be Kept.
Germany. on the other hand, has
promised the United States to carry on
submarine war according to the in
ternational rules of cruiser warfare"
DR.. Zimmerman at this moment in
tsrrupted his conversation, walked
through his Office. stopped. and In the
face OF the interviewer said to his
clerk in an energetic manner: This
promise will have to be kept" Then
continued:
our submarines are clear and strict in
this direction ] can affirm with abso-
lutte certainty that no German subma-
rine has Intentionally attacked a mer-
chant ship without warning and with
out giving all on board ample time and
opportunity for rescue. You will have
read . report about a submarine that
found during stormy weather a steam
er near the Spanish coast. which 1t was
intended to sink. and which waited
many hours patiently because the
weather made It impossible to rescue
those on board. You will recall other
German submarines taking the crews
of torpedoed steamers on board until
the sea was smooth and passing ship
could take them over"
Animated by Best Feelings.
Dr.. Zimmerman paced up and down
in his once and repeated:
"Th se are the facts of the case. We

ward everybody. But we are fighting
for the life and future of our nation

I such q moment as this German public
opinion analyses very carefully the
facts and compares our attitude with
that Of the enemy. OF course. we are
communications with the outer world
especially with the United States. Our
enemies use the cables, the mails and
the spoken word in order to plead their
case before the whole world. But the
other nations ought to hear our voice.
our grievances. 1. myself. with these
words only mean to explain the rea-
sons for the present popular feeling In
Germany and l feel sure that IT Will
be appreciated everywhere by all fair
minded people.
Sees Plot to Create Wrong Views.
"The situation is that Germany and her
allies are surrounded by enemies and that
Germany has VIGOROUSLY carried the war
on all fronts beyond the limits or Ger
many. Popular feeling in Germany is that
our enemies, unable to win victory on the
battlefield. will try to win by creating
wrong impression about Germany lnteh-
tons and Germany's actions in the rest
OF the world where Germanys voice can
only seldom be heard.
They will try to persuade the Worio
that in the case OF submarines ana IN
other cases Germany will disregard her
fact. have abrogated the laws of nations
and do themselves what they charge
against us. as in the case of hostile sub
marines attacking German vessels and IN
Greece.
But this respect for truth and justice
cannot be suppressed forever. We are
confident in our future military opera
tions and are equally confident that the
justice of our cause will triumph in the
mind of the world
