A Plea for Com'icy; Which the Germans Bombed

suffices to say that the village of
Berry au-Bac, which has become IA
nous as the site of numerous bloody
battles, is less than one and one-half
miles from Cormicy.
"Day and night shells raned on the
village. During the first occupation,
some of the inhabitants, having been
sent into Germany as hostages, por-
ton of the population became ter
ritied, and sought refuge in the interior
of France. Little by little the popula-
ton diminished until there remained
in March, 1915, only 200 souls. The
village continued to be pounded by
the perpetual fire of the enemy's can
non, the roads which lead to it were
also swept by shells and in addition
were within view Of the German
trenches. 1t was impossible to venture
out during the day. I was unaware
of this detail, on the occasion on
which, for the first time, l entered the
commune, during the month of MAY.

chauffeur inquired if we might pass
had replied that the army supply
wagons passed every day. But upon
my arrival at Cormicy, the general
whom I visited was astonished that l
had reached him without mishap. But
said I, the sentinel told me that the
army wagons passed on the roads
every day. They pass laughingly

"a few minutes later, I was seized
with a qualm of conscience, when
shells, falling upon Cormicy, killed
two men before me-a civilian and a
soldier. l inquired if the sight of
my automobile vending its way toward
the village might not have been the
cause of the bombardment. Oh, no, l
was assured; I could not be held re-
sponsible for this, as for several days
past, at the same hour, Cormicy had
been bombarded.
II was very warmly received by the
people, especially so, for the reason
that since the beginning of its terri
bic ordeal, no public official had visited
the village, and it remained without
visitors during the entire period of

rer). A little more than three
years ago he completed five-year
term in Sing Sing. In his day he
was admired by his fellow second
story workers and hunted by the
police every time an especially neat
job was turned in his particular
line. The Sing Sing stretch was
his second experience of prison dis
cipline.
To-day he is the proprietor and
manager of one of the most sue
cessful eating places in the theater
district. This is what he says:
cts a damn hard job to be
crook, but it used to be damn
harder job to go straight once you
had gone the other way. l worked
Riverside Drive once, but Tom
Brown changed all that for me.
Work and save your pennies. That's
my advice. 1t beats being a crook
by more miles than there are be-
tween here and Berlin"
Then there is the chairman of
the evening. He used to be known
as the king of the light-fngered
fraternity which adds to the perils
of rush hour subwaying. He knows
Elmira, Sing Sing and Auburn from
the inside. Six years ago he was
released from Auburn. To-day he
holds responsibility for an impor-
tant branch of the work of a ia
nous moving picture firm.
"I've heard a lot about honor

systems" he said, "but I defy any
one in the world to duplicate this
scene-a group Of former convicts
dining their former keeper.
"Think of what it means to us to
have had chance to go straight;
and not only to us, but to the whole
community. Men in Chicago who
come out Of Joliet with a record
are arrested on suspicion right
away. They know they will be ar
rested whether they deserve it or
not. What chance have they got?
And remember, that used to be the
system in New York. If it had been
the system when we came out what
chance would we have had to be
here to-night?"
The man who used to be among
the smartest confidence men known
to the New York police, who has
done, altogether, eighteen years in
prison and who at first regarded the
stories of the Welfare League as
"bull," now takes care of a $4,000
pay roll every week. He is a trusted
employee Of large coal concern.
Judge Wadhams, he said, helped
him to go straight.
"When l left Sing Sing Judge
Wadhams told me to go straight. He
told ME if I was forced to the wall
to go and see him. Well, I played
the ponies for while, then I went
broke. [ went to the judge and I
told him I'd sooner steal than

Osborne and his friends a debt that

There was the short, stocky, griz-
lied chap Of middle age who COM
rleted a fifteen-year term for man.
slaughter. He is now overseer in a
large garage. The gunman who
served three terms for shooting and
carrying concealed weapons is now
the caretaker of the townhouse of a
multi-millionaire.
How is it done? BY what al
chemy are these men drawn from
their criminal careers to the paths
Of honest back-aching or brain
sweating toll? Simply, according to
Osborne and the Welfare League
Association, by assuring them a fair
chance.
The scheme originated in 1915,
when a group of committees was
formed at the suggestion of the
National Committee of Prisons.
Later, the committees were incor-
porated as the New York State
Prison Council, which became, in
time, the Welfare League Associa-
ton. The Welfare League Asso-
citation is not to be confused with

pockets, second-story workers and
"yeggs." Among them they had done
time for more than one hundred and
eleven years. Their ages ranged
from twenty-five to seventy; they
represented seven nationalities, but
they were bound by one common
tie. They had shown that there is
truth in the Salvation Army's slo-
gan: they had proved that though a
man may be down, he is never out.
They were thirty-seven living de-
malls of the cynical theory that they
never come back.
Many things have happened since
Thomas Mott Osborne, under the
alias of Tom Brown, served a vol
untary term in Auburn Prison in
order that he might know what it
really meant to be in Jail Osborne
has been warden of Sing Sing since
then, and has had an opportunity
to convert his humanitarian theories
into chiseled achievement. He has
met much criticism and has not van
pushed it all, and he is now, as the
head OF the United States Naval
Prison at Portsmouth, still fighting
for what he calls a square deal for
the incarcerated man.
Whatever may be the popular
opinion as to the practicability of
Osborne's ideas or of the advisa-
bility Of official adoption of the Os-
borne theories of prison govern
ment, there is no escaping the fact
that thirty-seven men who have
risen from the husks that the swine
did eat to assured and prideful place
in the community of clean souls
have given to Thomas Mott Osborne
the credit for showing them the road
TO rehabilitation.

Similar experiences were recited
as the speechmaking became gen
eral. There was young man who
had done five years for ATTEMPTED
highway robbery. While he was in
Sing Sing under Osborne's jurisdic
ton he learned typesetting and to-
day he is employed by leading
magazine house. There was the
chap who once did five-year
stretch for grand larceny, who is
now a clerk at a fashionable hotel
and one of the best clerks that

of its manager. There was the

little more than one mile), from that
city, on the railroad between scissors
and Guignicourt, and was connected
with Rheims by an electric car line;
1t rose on the banks of the Aisne near
the junction of the river and the canal.
From August, 1914, until Septem-
Der, 1913, it was almost constantly
within the firing line and during that
period was twice occupied by the Ger
mans. After the great Battle of the
Marine in 1914, the enemy, suspending
his retreat, established himself less
than one mile from Rheims and still
nearer the village of Cormicy.
Then began the long martyrdom of
that ancient market town. Violent
combats occurred in it's ncighborhood
