WILL GERMANY AGREE?

The German. chancellor is Of
opinion that the prompt, pointed,
and frank reply of the entente
powers to the peace inquiry OF
President Wilson, is in effect a re-
buff il not an insult to the President.
Germany will have no terms to
state, because Germany's enemies
have opened the discussion with a
presentation that makes peace con-
sideration at this time impossible.
Manifestly, this kind of conversa-
ton is intended mainly for home
consumption. The German people
are expected to believe that they
have been affronted, that their
enemies are determined to destroy
them, that the neutral suggestion of
good Offices has met with an insult.
Will they accept this view? They
have had so much of this sort Of in
tellectual leadership, of direction to
their thought, and have borne it with
such docility that perhaps they viii
feel, now, just as their rulers expect
and demand that they shall feel. If
so, there will doubtless be an an
swering demand for an era of fur
her terrorism, especially at sea. The
rirpitz faction would be pleased to
lave Germany's reply voiced by the
;orpedoes of the submarines. loosed
n a new assault in. the noble cause
# freedom of the seas" In that
went, it will be for the United
States to determine which side has
the American Government. 4
The Washington times., 1917-01-16

Juvenile courts ordinarily func-
tion very differently from other
tribunals. For one thing, they were
created to meet a social need and
they have not lost sight Of that
need IN the mene machinery of ver-
dict giving and sentence allotting.
Then, again, they deal with children,
and their dealings are expected to be
corrective and restorative rather
than punitive. Higher courts now
are seeking that ideal, and even
penal institutions are helping to
realize It.
Thus it comes about that the ques-
tion Of what is to happen to q child
after he.h has been in court is a most
important phase Of q juvenile courts
work. In this city, as in every other
having such q court, the work Of the
probation office is essential. In the
extension Of its work the Juvenile
Court Of the District now is reach
ing out IN the other direction. It is
seeking to keep children from get
ting into court at all.
Performance of this preventive
and this corrective work imposes a
big task on the court. The possibili-
ties for the first, especially, are al
most unlimited. There are many
social workers in Washington ready
to volunteer in this effort. To or
ganize and direct their efforts the
Juvenile Protective Association of
the District has just been formed.
It is probable that this organiza-
tion, formed at the instigation Of
Judge J. Wilmer Latimer and other
court officials, may show itself soon
to be one Of the biggest pieces of
constructive work the court has un-
dertaken. It does not seek to en-
croaeh upon the work other child
agencies already are performing. It
seeks to correlate their efforts, and
representatives Of many. such
bodies belong to it. The workers are
ready. The association needs MEM
bers and financial support. This sup
port viii come from the dues of
these members. Many citizens of |
Washington who cannot give their
time and personal work to this effort !
should be willing TO help it by join
ing.

20 MILES IN ADAY
District Troops on Border to
March From Camp to Leon
Springs Thursday.

SAN ANTONIO, Jan. I6.-The march
to Leon Springs on which the Third
Infantry win leave Thursday morning
in company with other regimene OF
the Second brigade, win be mads,in a
single day, according to announce
ment at headquarters-
Leaving Camp Wilson early IN the
morning the troops will reach their
destination, twenty miles away, before
nightfaIl. A shorf halt win be made
at Nine Mile Hill, half way, but camp
will not be pitched until the reserva-
tion Is reached.
In hiking to Leon Spfings I'm a sim
gle day the Third and its companion
regiments will set q new record for
distance covered in q days march by
infantry organizations at Camp VII
son. II has always been the custom
to allow two days on the road for the
trip to and from the reservation.
This time was somewhat shortened
when the District OF Columbia regi
ment came back from its former trip
to the target range, marching part
OF the day, and completing the hike
at night But the stretch has never
been negotiated in q continuous
march.
The District camp has a deserted ap-
pearance today, about 200 members OF
the regiment having gone to Austin
to witness the big football game be-
tween the al1-star Camp Wilson team
and the Second Texas Infantry aggre-.
cation.

GIVES CHORAL PROGRAM
Monday Morning Music Club In
Recital at willard.

The Monday Morning Music Club
was heaSd in an interesting choral
program at the New willard yester-
day under its director. Edgar Priest,
assisted by Mrs. Helen Corbin Heinl,
pianist, and by several members Of
the club in vocal solos.
Mrs. Heinl was heard in two groups
of plano solos, two Chants Polonais"
(Chopin-Liszt) which displayed some
delightful tone work in her brilliant
passages and q very effective legato.
The Grieg "Nocturne," opus "a. she
gave with poetic feeling, creating the
illusion of the water In her tones and
rhythm. The "Feux Follets" OF
Philip and a Chopin Etude completed
her program.
Mrs. w. K. Wilson, soprano, gave
with much sweetness of voice three
OF the Nevin settings to "a Child's
Garden of Verses" singing also "a
encore "The Cuckoo Clock" by Grant
Scbaefer. A sympathetic contralto
solo was ain Already" by Hunting
ton woodman, given by Miss Alice
Edwards, with violin obligato by Mrs.
Dickey.
In the very charming choral selec-
tion, "Sleep Of the Child Jesus" by
Gavaert, Mrs. Elliott Woods gave the
solo recital OF the story. Her high,
pure voice lent a particularly fitting
quality to this tale Of the Christ and
the soft chant of the chorus was very
lovely with its rich harmonies.
Mr.. Priest built up an excellent
climax in the chorus, 20 Happy
Sleep" by Huntington Woodman, in
which the sopranos were forceful and
the contraltos sustained a rich-toned
undercurrent. "The Bird Of the
Wilderness" by Horsman, and
"After," by Clough Leighter, were
also we'll given.
Miss Lucy Brickenstein, at the
piano. was ever an artistic accom-
panist. J. MACH.
