RED CROSS ITEMS

The following extracts from let
tiers just received from New England
Division Headquarters are of interest
to us all. DAT the present time the
most pressing need is for food,
clothing and textiles" eve have al
ready informed you of the kinds of
garments that we hope or organiza-
ton will make for the relief of the
suffering nations, and now we are
asked by our commissioners abroad to
supply as large a quantity of old
clothing and shoes as possible, be-
cause these can be used for immed-
late relief. We cannot urge upon
you too strongly the Importance of
organizing effectually and immediate
ly for this campaign for old clothing
which is to take place the week of
March "a to 81. We urge upon you
the importance of this campaign and
feel sure New England will not fail
in supplying it's share to the 10000
tons of clothing and shoes that is
expected from the United States"
"We must realize that in France
Belgium and the liberated countries
for four years no textiles have been
imported, and ther is dire need for
clothing. The supply of clothing for
the people falls upon the American
Red Cross, and we are anxious to
mobilize the voluntary spirit of our
women workers to enable us to rem
der such assistance as we may"
Our branch's work for the present
is in boys suits, morning dresses for
women and girls pinafores. Next
month it will be girls chemises, chit
dren's night gowns and undershirts,
the material and directions being fur
nished by the Red Cross.
We are given the opportunity of
helping relieve the distress of a great

of a ruthless horde of barbariasm.

our deliverance from like fate by

church, OF benevolent individual, who
would continue to help until the per-
son was again self-supporting.
Besides this system of relief the
police found a great many jobs for
people who were out of work. Care
had to be used in this so that the en-
ployer would not simply discharge
some one to create a vacancy which
he might fill in. such a way as to do
a favor to a policeman favor
which he rightly looked forward to
having returned with interest. The
positions were very rarely as good as
the men were fitted to fill, but they
served to keep the wolf away from a
family's door for a while, and they
made it possible for the men to live
and maintain self-respect
Owing to the scarcity of employ
ment, we frequently found it neces-
sary to create jobs where none had
existed before. These positions,
however, were all of kind which,
when filled, would be of a real bene-
fit to the employer; in this way no
sense of charity, given or received,
could enter into the agreement. The
most successful experiment of this
kind was the employment of man
by several people living in a city
block to keep the street and sidewalks
clean around that block, to pick up
waste paper and other litter, to tidy
areaways, and generally to supple
ment the work of the Street Cleaning
Department.
We tried to get one hundred per-
sons in block to subscribe ten cents
each per week, making in all a weekly
wage of ten dollars for the man thus
employed. We always chose for the
work man who was a bona-fide resi-
dent of New York who could not get
work at his regular trade and who
had a family to support. Some hun
dreds of families who had been re-
duced to bitter privations and hope
lessness were kept together by this
scheme.
The problem of poverty in these
times is one that has been much stu
died and about which may theories
have been given birth. The police
force does not attempt to solve it;
many members of police forces may
not realize that such a problem exists.
Police forces, however, and every
member of them, can be expected and
can be relied on to do their part in
the saving work of affording quick
relief in cases of poverty where the
strain has reached the breaking
point. And besides being the kind of
work that would appeal to every
right-minded human being, it is
strictly proper police work also, for
it operates directly to decrease crime.

The Order of the Bath.

A very youthful British tourist. ar.
rived at an old-fashioned hosiery, had
the imprudence to order bath in his
room for the next morning. Very
early he was awakened by sounds OF
hanmering somewhere overhead. Then
followed much humping on the stairs !;
evidently a large and cumbrous weight
was being brought down. The noise
ceased outside his own door, which
flew open, and in staggered two
strong men bearing the big bath from
the public bathroom, dismounted for

VOTE ON NATIONS LEAGUE

be known today that he would fight
in the Senate to have the peace
treaty discussed in open session when
it comes up for ratification. He takes
the ground that there has already
been too much secrecy about the
proceedings leading up to the Lea
que of Nations project and that the
people will not be satisfied without
knowing precisely what it is and
what arguments are advanced for it..
h At the Capitol it was stated today
that Senator Lodge, who will be
Chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee in the new Senate, favors
Mr.. Borah's attitude for open sessions
on the Peace Treaty and all matters
related to it.
Senator Borah said tonight, regard
ing the report published in New York,
that he had abandoned his opposi-
ton to the election of Senator Pen
rose. as Chairman of the Finance
Committee in the reorganization of
the new Senate, so as to bring about
solidarity, of Republican support a
gainst the League of Nations.
"There is no change in my attitude
regarding the Craftsmanship of the
Finance Committee"
"You still oppose Senator Pen
rose?" was asked.
"My reply simply is that there is
no change in the situation" answer
ed Senator Borah.
There is a well-defned impression
at the Capitol that the fight against
Mr.. Penrose is at an end and that
he will get the Finance Committee
Guardianship.

Crimes, Grimes Waves, -
Criminals and the Police

Crimes and "crime waves" which
are with us somewhat more than usu-
al just now, are dependent for the
most part on widespread social con-
ditions, says ex-Police Commissioner
Arthur Woods, in a series OF articles
that recently appeared in the New
York Tribune, but a good deal can
measures of prevention. Mr.. Woods,
at the time when he was ousted by
the new Tammany administration,
was generally credited with having
brought the New York city police de-
partment to the highest point of eff
cheney and "cleanness" in its very
checkered history. He was consider
ed a "high- brow" and a theorist, but
no one could accuse the force of be-
ing in politics while he was at the
head of it. Since his resignation a
small crime wave, coming immediate
ly after the demotion of an inspector
known as Honest Dan" Costigan,
has brought the question of crime and
the police into the foreground. Re-
ports from all over the country show
that the same question is disturbing
nearly every city of importance, and
the European cables report "crime
waves" of varying intensity in Paris,
Stockholm, London, Rome, and Ber-
lin. Some have seen general loosen
ing of old standards by the war
spirit, and there have been dire pre-
dictions of an increased loosening.
"What are the causes of crime?'
asks Mr.. Woods in the introduction
of the article in which he lays the
foundation for study that is at once
scientific and very human. We are
apt to believe that there is a clear
division between those who commit
crimes and the rest of us, he says. and
cites the common idea of criminals:
By criminals we mean those low
browed, hard-faced inhabitants of
prison cells, who are let loose from
time to time, far too often for our
comfort or peace of mind, to prey

There are such desperadoes, it is
true, who cruelty and Systematically
pursue the trade of breaking
and stealing with murder thrown in
if necessary. They are professionals.
In addition to these, however, are
what might be. called the, amateur
criminals, who steal only under the
stress of one kind of circumstances
or another, often after genuine fight
to resist the temptation. The line be-
tween the habitual and the casual
criminal is hard to draw, just as it is
in a very real sense between an of
fender who is caught, convicted, and
placed behind iron bars and one who
isn't caught.
We must, of course, recognize the
fact that police forces can not be
expected to abolish poverty. This is
a problem perhaps more worth the
solving than any other that confronts
us, but one which wise men all
through the ages have been trying to
find the answer to without success.
No, the police can not hope to
grapple with the whole involved So
cial and economic question of pow
erty. This does not mean, however,
that they should not study poverty
among other causes of crime for the
purpose of seeing If something, even
if only a very little, might not be
done, to save a few sorely tempted
and poverty-stricken persons from
dropping into crime.
The winter of 1915-16 was hard
one. Hundreds and thousands of
people conld not get work who were
willing and eager to go to work, and
were qualified to fill jobs that in
normal times would yield a comfort
able living. Capable workingmen
could not find anything to do because
of the abnormal economic conditions,
not because of any fault of their own,
and there seemed to be no near pros
pect of relief. What were they to
do? Hundreds and thousands of
people, just as honest and self-re-
specting as any one else in the city,
driven into the narrowing way from
which the only outlet appeared to be
death or crime
We set out to devise plan where
by any policeman could provide i'm
mediate relief when he came across
case of urgent distress. At once
we found that there were few police
men of any number of years service
to whom relief of those in trouble
was new story. We came across
cases that warmed ones heart, where
policemen, sometimes Individually,
sometimes taking up collections in thr
back room of the station house. he'd
gone down into their own pockets to
help out critical cases.
No one had ever talked much
about this sort of thing; the police
man never expected to get any credit
for it; they were paid by the salts
faction one human being gets at be-
ing able to help out another who at
the time is worse off than he is.
In any part of the city, therefore,
when any policemen came across a
case of great distress, he took the
suffering person to the station-house,
where the captain or lieutenant in
charge would provide at once for his
immediate needs and would then put
him in touch with some association
