The "baby burglar" 10 years old
who, in juvenile court a week ago
told of robbing grocery store al
in the morning, was no more re-
markable for juvenile crime than
two more "baby bandits" in court
yesterday, who confessed to lying in
wait in the weeds with loaded re-
volvers to hold up a woman. The
boys are Arthur Madison, IL, 1924
South Eleventh street, and Harry
Simon, 10, 1905 South Tenth street
Both confessed that Arthur's re-
volver, .38 calibre was loaded.
Harry said his wasn't loaded, but
that Arthur threatened to shoot him
if he didn't jump out OF the weeds
when the woman came along and
hold her up.
The two explained that they were
under the influence of a master
mind" in the person of John Carnett,
16 years old, high school boy, who
also was in court. They said Car
nett overawed them by stating that
he chad police protection" and
would keep them from going to Jail
if caught.
John, the boys said, put Jessie
James ideas in their heads, playing
cowboy and telling tales about shoot
ing Indians in Montana.
The two younger boys hid in the
weeds on South Eleventh street,
waiting for a woman to pass. She
passed there every day, but this day
she was on the opposite of the
street.

didn't know how to act. They were
discovered later with their revolvers
and taken in hand by the juvenile
authorities.
The three were paroled to their
parents and relatives upon promises
to quit the bandit business. All
three were said to be exceptionally
bright at school.

with laugh, as If the phrase were
empty rhetoric instead of sublime
truth. Liege means more to us than
Lexington, and remembering Edith
Cavell, we give no thought to Jane
McCrea.
We may well thank God that the
war of American independence has not
the glamor Of battles fought In vain,
that our freedom is no lost cause, that
Washington's halo is not that of a
martyr whose life and death were un-
availing. To those who look at the
worlds events in true historical per-
spective, without .sentimentality and
with love of justice and freedom in
their breasts, the American Revolution
fills the most encouraging page in the
chronicle of the centuries. But for
most of us 1t is only in times of stress
like the present that we can come to
an actual sense Of our exceptional
privileges to realization of the radi-
ant truth Of the stories we read in our
history book in school. This year the
Declaration of independence takes on
a clearer significance we know, as we
did not in bygone years, what it means
to be free and Independent states, alb
solved forever from all allegiance to
foreign powers. And so this year
Washington's birthday is no routine
holiday, but day Of solemn yet joyful
commemoration, day on which we
honor with full hearts him who made
us nation, the warrior whose sword
cut the bonds of our thralldom, the
statesman who bade us, avoiding en-
tangling alliances, go our free way, an
independent republic, no nations syco-
phant, no nations tool. "With malice
toward none," said Washington's great
est successor, "with charity for ALL"
1t was a summing up Of Washington's
own political creed. No lost cause,
however glorious with the blood of
martyrs, seems today so noble as the
still triumphant cause Of American In
dependence. No modern hero, fighting
overseas, is today so dear to us as our
founder and preserver And to his ex-
amples and his counsels we cannot
look for guidance and look in vain.

always had something else for
me to do. While it did not suit.
me at all times, have taken my
medicine like a man, as the Of
ficers above me knew what to do
with me and all had to do was
to obey orders.
Well, | can tell you now what
| have been doing. We left New
York City on the 14th of August,
and landed in London, England,
