FRUITS OF GERMAN KULTUR

The r'pers yesterday announced
that Germany will sink hosn:lol ships
in future. The Richmond Virginian in
referring to the ferocity exemplihed
by the Germans during the present
war says mot in our widest dreams
did we ever have vision OF men Of
Caucasian breed, with many hundred
years of civilization behind them,
Strengthening men, women and child
rem with equal lack of discrimination
and with far less of possible justif!-
cation. For nearly three years we
have seen German kultur, German
chivalry, German bravery, e. Its
worst. We have seen it wage war
time and again on noncombatants, un-
armed neutrals. With no military
avantage and from sheer deter
mination to slaughter, they nave time
and again bombed countryside, hanl-
let and village from the alr. inns
is wa.-the kind of war German kul-
tur wages. Germany is SHINING away
its 1ay of grace. 1t is condemned
already by its alliance with the muir
derers who slew the Armenian ma
ton. It is doubly condemned ty is
o,,r, .,;-, C America wants no
peace as long as such peace weaId
mean the recognition as a deccE'
member ,i the family of nat ons a
government whose hands are so
s,eened in the blood of innnocents.

GERMAN BIRTH RATE.
Marked Decline Causes Great APP
prehensiOn at Present.

Marked Decline Causes Great APP
prehensiOn at Present
Copenhagen, May 28.-!Thc great
decline in the German birthrate due
to the war continues to produce dis
quietude among German sociologists
Official statistics of the imperial
health bureau for cities with popula-
tions of $4,000 and over and 100000
and over show a further heavy de-
cline in the birth rate of 1916. as
compared with that in 1915, which
itself was some twenty per cent be-
low that of 1914.
Twenty six German cities in tn:
class of populations of 100000 and
over report a decrease &C 99,092
births, Or 1873 Per cent. as corr
pared with the number of children
born in 1914, while the percen+;:s, in
Il: cities with poDn!a ions of 1:.,9Oi:
ard over is slightly higher, aearly
S. : per cent.
Ire decrease in births was a:com-
panied by a corresponding Cal in
the death rate in infants under one
year, which was 1873 per cent per
100 births, but this has not dimin-
ished the anxiety of the sociological
experts who are holding congresses
to awaken popular interest in this
menace to Germany's future.
The government simultaneously is
devoting intensive study to the re-
population problem through COM
missions attached to the minister of
the interior and shortly will intro
ducc legislation IN the rei.hSt:is to
ccunteract the nations falling rate
6 growth by M ,ssures calculated to
stimulate the birth ca:e and lower
irtslt mortality.

to $500 can be assessed against any
person over 10 years of age who
may be convicted Of such an Of
tense.
Justice Crutchfeld in Richmond
some time ago fined the parents who
allowed their children to run at
large and commit offenses, and a
justice in Washington last week
made a similar ruling in the case of
minors who had destroyed vege-
table garden.
Parents should realize that they
are responsible for their children.

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.

As viii! be seen elsewhere in the
Gazette, number of young people
of both sexes. were before the Police
Court this morning to answer GER
tain charges which had been made
against them. All save one of the
juveniles were charged with mis-
demeanors. They had invaded the
premises of their neighbors and de-
stroyed growing vegetables after
the owners had worked asSiduouSiy
to cause the ground to bring forth.
In one case the accused were or
dered to repay the owner for his
outlay. In two other cases in which
hays were charged wsl destroyin..
property the defendants were turned
over to their parents for correction.
A small boy, who seems to have
taken Jack Sheppard as his ideal,
had a more serious charge on the
blotter against him. He had COM
mitted burglary by entering house
in the night time and taking there
from gold watch, fob and breast
pin. This precocious youngstar las
had several serious charges urged
against him recently, and he had on
one occasion been released by the
Police Court with the understanding
that he would be sent out of the city.
Today the court decided to turn him
over to the State Board of Chair
ties and Correction, and ne will be
placed in a home far away from
Alexandria.
The case against two girls and
three boys, who were charged with
destroying I, the garden = on south
Lee street Isl one Of several which
has exasperated people in different
sections of the city. In disposing of
it Justice Cation called attention to
the fact that a fne ranging from $51

SPIES IN DEPARTMENTS.

Tn his message to Congress in De-
cember, 1915, the President declared
that the spies of some foreign Gov
eminent had even invaded the Offices
of the Government. What foreign
Government it was he did not men,
t;on. but the German-Americans were
furious at this as an attack upon
them. or upon the Fatherland. "A
wear and half or two years ago. II
was known that German spies were
getting into the executive depart
ments The Philadelphia Record
saws we have Secret Service, and
the Department of Justice has its
own sleuths, and we have supposed
that our detectives could see as far
between the rungs of a ladder as
any other detectives. There has
been time, and we assumed that
there was ability, to eXtermlnate
these espionage rats from the Gov
eminent buildings.
Yet we are now told that Berlin
knew the port to which our torpedo
boat destroyers were bound, though
the Secretary of the Navy did not.
There seems to be good deal OF
agitation in Washington because
some former attaches of the German
and Austrian Embassies have been
allowed to remain and take posi-
tions in the Swedish and Swiss Lega-
tions. 1t is very, dubious wisdom to
allow this, and yet this is only a
matter of secondary Importance.
They might be able to send code
messages to Europe which would
reach Berlin, but the only important
question is how they got anything to
send. There must be German spy
in the Navy Department, who has
access to letters that very few per-
sons see, or the knowledge when and
for what port the torpedo boat de-
stroyers were to sail was impaired
to persons who did not need to
know, but who talked about their
orders. With fairly efficient Sc
cret Service it ought to be possible
to run down teh servant of the
Kaiser.
If the Navy Department exercised
reasonable precautions the torpedo
boat destroyers sailed with sealed
orders. In that case none of the Of
fcers could have leaked any infor-
nation he did not have. But how
many persons saw the orders tefore
they were sealed, and who are they?
If the Secret Service is earning it's
salaries it ought to be able 70 find
this out.
