Develop Them, Don't Break Them,
Is L0Wrie's Message

Common Sense in Prison Manage
ment'' W as the subject Of Donald
Lowrie's address before a large meet
ing at the Y. M. c. A., yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Lowrie, a former convict
denounced the modern prison system
and explained the new system which
Thomas Mott Osborne favors. AS Mr..
LoWr1e's facts were gained by actual
experience, the audience was greatly
interested.
He spoke, in part, as follows:
ASIDE from the great war, there is
no question that is as important a
topic OF discussion as that of our
prisons. In 1910, there were 4S6,OO
prisoners discharged from the numer-
GUS penal institutions of the country.
The great question is: What has be-
come Of them? They are unable to
enter the country's service because of
their records. Society does not receive
them. In France today there has been
organized what is know as the con-
vict division 1t is necessary to give
the prisoners some sort Of military
training while serving their time.
THE greatest defect lies in the fact
that the prisons do not improve a man
physically. When q man is sent to
prison he should be put through a
system of training which will in time
prepare him to begin a new life when
released"
Another condition which Mr.. Low
RE attacked was tho procedure
whereby one man, the judge. was en-
powered to pass sentence npon a. fell
low-being and to determine how long
he should remain in prison. No one
man is qualified for such a duty, he
said
A number Of striking examples as
to the inconsistency Of the law were
related by Mr.. Lowrie. The prisons of
today should be free from all poll
teal influence, but unfortunately this
does not exist. He quoted as an ex-
ample the case Of one man who was
given only four years in prison for
bank burglary through the influence
of prominent politicians; while an.
other, without political friends, was
sentenced to 20 years for attempting
to rob another man.
Mr.. Lowrie does. not believe in the
fixed sentence. He advocates the in
determinate sentence. A man, when |
sentenced, should be kept in prison !
until he has been helped to make him. !
self useful to- the world. He should !
not be put away any more than
doctor should force patient to re-
main in a hospital for a fixed time,
the speaker said.

BELIEVE OFFICIALS
HAVE UPPER HAND

Washington, April 26.-The situa-
tion benin dthe German lines fought
as it is with far more tremendous
possibilities than those presented by
any battle remains dubious and un
certain.
The little news that trickles across
the German frontier indicates that
the authorities have gained the upper
hand over the strikers by the drastic
method of militarizing the munition
industry and forcing strike leaders
into the fighting ranks.
1t is too early and information is
too meager to say whether these
stern measures of repression have
definitely crushed the startling storm
of discomfort which has swept over
the German empire. The only news
from Austria in some days is to the
effect that the pan-German leaders
have emerged as victors in the strug-
gle for control of the government
This news is vague, however, and
comes by roundabout route. Relia-
BILE information as to conditions in
the dual monarchy is absolutely lack
ing.

GREAT BRITAIN To RECEIVE

MANY SPEAKERS ARE
IN FAVOR OF DRAFT
NICHOLS JOINS DENT IN CHAM.
PION VOLUNTEER
PLAN

Washington, April 25.-With both
houses Of congress debating the Wan
Army Bill today it became more than
ever apparent that there is no fight
ever whether great army shall be
raised, the only question being what
strength can be mustered by oppo-
nents of the Administrations selec-
tive draft plan.
In the senate passage of the Gem
eral Staff Bill virtually without
change is regarded as certain; on the
house side the presidents supporters
also are confident of cuccess, through
the contest there will be bitter. Dis
cussion in the senate may continue
until Saturday, but the house. under
tentative agreement for eighteen
hours of debate, probably will be
ready to vote by Thursday.
Most of the speeches in the house
were in favor of the Administration
plans, after Representative Dent,
chairman of the Military Committee
had made an opening statement ear
nestly supporting the bill as amended
by his committee to authorize calls
for volunteers, with provision for ap-
plying the draft only if the volunteer
system fails. Representative Kahn, of
California, ranking republican of the
committee, appeared in the unique
position of spokesman for the president
and leader of the Administration
forces.
