DECLINE OF JUVENILE BOOKS.

A palnstaking summary Of the pro-
ductlon OF books for Juveniles In the
past 28 years shows that In propor-
ton 10 the total number Of all books
published there has been u distinct
falling of, while the situation when
viewed In relation TO our increase In
population becomes to the writer n
matter OF "curlous" concern. The
total output Of books In the United
States In 1890 was 1860. OF which 408,
or about o per cent, were Juveniles.
In 1917 the total was 10000, Of which
there were 504 Juveniles, or about 8
per cent. II does not follow, however,
that the habit Of reading Is not grow
Ing among youths Of both sexes, says
Portland Oregonlan. Ordinary 0bser-
walton and the experience Of most II
brarlnns would Indicate the contrary.
The fact would seem TO be that the
young folks are more discriminating
In their tastes, that they are reading
the same things that their fathers and
mothers are reading, and that the prac-
tice of "writlng down" to them has
consequently become unpopular There
Is, after all, great plenty OF books
made primarily for growDups which
also are pleasing, instructive and In
spring to children Of various ages.
The happy family is the one which has
common fireside interests-and there
are many such.

GERMAN PAPERS NOT
TOLD TREATY TERMS
Alliance of Wilhelm and Charles
Mystery to Public Press.

German newspapers have been un-
able to learn the exact terms under
which the "closer alliance" between
Germany and Austria was secured at
the recent conferences between the
Kaiser and Emperor Karl. Some Of
the papers believe that the dream
of Bismarck for great mittel-
europa viii be realized, before the
close Of the war, but others fear
that the apparent disregard of the
Kaiser and the Emperor for the opin-
ion Of the Reichstag and the Reichs-
rath, the popular assemblies of the
two nations, may bring a storm of
disapproval from the public.
The Deutsche Zeitung, a pan-Ger-
man organ. says: Particular impor-
tance should be attached to the pres
ence Of the King Of Bavaria at the
conference"
The Taeglische Rundschau believes
that Austria-Hungary in return for
military aid has been assured Of Ger
man support in annexing Poland.
The Berliner Tageblatt says: For
some time II has been said that Ger
many would not be opposed to. the
joining Of Poland to Austria, II the
latter. both from a military and eco
nomic standpoint, were definitely at
tached TO Germany"

NEW POLISH CABINET
RATIFIED BY TEUTONS
represents Pro-German Element.
Will Not Form Army.

Germany and Austria have ratified
III formation Of q new Polish cab
INIT, the third to be formed since Po-
LAY ID was overrun by the Prussians.
IT new cabinet is formed. under the
pr &niersnip OF J. X. Steczkowski, who
haI announced a policy of conciIia-
tid4 toward the central powers in re-
tufh for their support Of the Polish
national aims.
cabinet Is not representative of the
Polish people and is only another
weak effort Of the German nation to
deceive the millions Of disaffected ma
tons Of Central Europe who have
been watching closely the administra-
ton Of Poland.
The new cabinet has no war min
istry. This is ascribed to the fear OF
the German leaders that II a Polish
army were formed an uprising would
follow. Premier Steczkowski has as
sumed the once OF minister of the
treasury. Other members of the new
administration are Jan Stecki, min
ister Of the interior; Nigersberger,
minister OF justice; Stanlslaw Dzierz-
bicki, minister of agriculture; Piotr
Drzewiecki. minister OF Industry ana
DR.. Chodzko, minister or
labor; Antoni Ponikowslxi. minister Of
public instruction, and Prince Janusz
Radziwfil, director Of the department
OF political affairs. The latter is the
son Of Prince Ferdinand Radziwin,
leader Of the Polish group in the Ger
man Reichstag.

White House Wool
For Red Cross Aid;
Auction in Lots

Wool clipped from the
White House flock of sheep
will be sold at auction
throughout the United States
for the benefit of the second
Red Cross war fund. Cow
ernors of the forty-eight
States will be the auctioneers.
President and Mrs. Wilson
announced before leaving
for New York yesterday
that they wished to help in
the $Ioo, 900, 900 drive in this
way. The Red Cross Off
cials Immediately decided to
comply with the Presidents
wish.
The sheep, which. were
first pastured on thei White
House lawn three weeks
ago, were sheared this week.
The clippings netted ap-
proximately ninety pounds
Of wool. The plan suggest
ed by President and Mrs.
Wilson was that the wool
be divided into packages
containing about two pounds
each, and a package be sent
to each State for auction.
Requests will go out to
the governors, asking them
to be the auctioneers, at
once. Owing to the short
time available, it will be
necessary to receive bids by
wire, last nights announce
ment said.

HUGHES HERE;
WILL START
PROBE TODAY
Former Justice to Choose
Assistants for Aero
Investigation.
URGE SENATE PROBE
Military Affairs Committee
Declares Covert Pur-
pose" Nonexistent.
URGE SENATE PROBE

Former Justice Charles E. Hughes
arrived here last night to take charge
Of the Department Of Justice investi-
cation into the aircraft charges. He
went at once to his hotel, and denied
himself to reporters. Through his sec
retary he explained that he could
have nothing to say until after his
conference today with Attorney Cen
eral Gregory.
1t IL known that Mr.. Hughes will be
assigned to Offices in the Department
Of Justice, and will select his own as
sistants. 1t Is understood that Assist
ant Attorney General Frierson, who
has already made a study of the Borg
lum reports and the findings OF the
Snowden Marshall committee, will
be one of his principal aides.
It Is generally believed that on
account Of the hints of criminality
in the expenditure of government
appropriations Judge Hughes will
favor a secret investigation.
Truce In senate Fight.
There was a temporary truce in
the Senate fight over the Chamber
lain resolution for a concurrent in
vestigation by the Military Affairs
Committee. Action upon the resolu-
tion and upon the report of the
members Of Senator Thomp-
sons committee on contingent ex-
penses have gone over until Mon
day. Senator Thonpson. presented
the minority report of the COM
mittee in the Senate yesterday. and
II was received without comment.
A strong movement was begun BY
members Of the Military Affairs COM
mittee yesterday afternoon to con-
vince administration Senators that
they are wrong in accepting the con-
clusion OF the President that passage
of the resolution providing for a con-
tinuance OF the investigation would
be a reflection on the administration.
In this movement, the committee was
strengthened by the new
est declaration OF the Presidefft, which
was made on the train carrying him
TO New York. The President author
lied Secretary Tumulty to announce
that he was not opposed to further
by the Military Affairs
Committee. but did object to the
covert purpose" of the Chamberlain
resolution. He declared. further, that
this purpose was well understood"
When the text of this announce
ment reached members of the COM
mittee they undertook to point out
that there was no covert purpose"
attached to the resolution, but that
II differed very slightly from the reso-
luton adopted last December under
which the committee had been pro-
ceeding. The things asked for In
the new resolution in addition to the
powers already possessed by the COM
mittee are three IN number. as fol-
lows:
ITO allow the subcommittee to sit
during recess or during sessions Of
the Senate.
ITO hire Investigators.
$40 incur travelling expenses.
