Two Boy Burglars,
10 and II, Confess
Eight Robberies
Brooklyn Lads Dispute Over
Division of Loot Causes
Their Arrest; Armed With
Blackjack and Revolver

Two small burglars, self confessed,
police say, were taken before Justice
Levy in the Childrcn's Court yester-
day to answer for a series OF burg
laries in Brooklyn during the last few
days. Neither parent nor guardian ap-
peared for either of the youthful Of
tenders and the justice refused to per-
NIT them to plead. They were remand
ed to the Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Children for appearance
this morning, after their parents had
been notified.
The boys, who are said to have ad-
mitted a total Of eight burglaries. are
George Smith, ten years old, and Harry
Prendergrast. two years his senior.
The former lives at 75A Fifth Avenue,
Brooklyn, and the latter at 627 De
kalb Avenue.
Quarrel Leads to Arrest
1t was q dispute over the spoils Of
their last exploit that led to the down
fall of the Juvenile pair. Early YES
terdav, the police say, Policeman Nc
Carren, of the 10th Precinct, who over
heard the argument and made the ar
rest, says the Smith boy was expound-
ing the principle unpopular in some
labor circles that the emoluments
should be distr 4buted with regard for
the work done by the individual His

the patrolman decided to intervene.
He took the boys to the Bergen Street
police station.
When the two prisoners stood be-
fore the desk Lieutenant Shelby
looked up with Che query: Whose lost
kids are these?" When McCarren told
of his suspicious the lieutenant was at
first inclined to scof. However, he
oeclded to examine the youngsters.
Confcsses After Police Ruse
After an hour of grilling, during
which Lieutenant Shelby SAYS the bows
remained steadfast in their denial of
crime, the police reso1ted to the ruse
of telling the younger his companion
had confessed.
What do you think of that for
luck?' young Smith is quoted as say
ing; after being out all night and
getting almost nothing my pal has to

After that, the police assert. he ad
mitted having robbed place at rs
Fifth Avenue, over which he lives; a
fruit store at 67 Fifth Avenue, a fruit
store at Fourth Avenue and Bergen
Street, two butcher shops near Fifth
Avenue and Bergen Street, paint
store at Bergen Street and Flatbush
Avenue, and fruit store at Sixth
Avenue and st. Marks Place. His loot
from the various places, the police say,
varied from 20 cents to SIT.
When arrested the Smith bov WAS
carrying blackjack, while his com
panion was armed with revolver.

EBERT CALLS FOR UNITY
New Year Manifesto says It Is
Needed to Preserve German Nation

Berlin, Jan. 2.--By A. P.)--Presi-
dent Ebert requested the chancellor to
publish the following New Year mani
festo
''In the year just ended chaos was
averted and the unity of the empire was
maintained and consolidated. Under
pressure of reckless force we were
compelled to conclude peace threaten
ing the honor and welfare of our
nation and placing the fruits of our
work of past and future years at the
mercy of foreigners.
THE year which begins must decide
whether Germany, despite all Difficult
ties, will maintain herself as nation
and state and develop her economic
life on a sound basis or whether
through internal quarreIs she will finally
collapse and bury the hopes even Of her
future generation.
with these prospects of our fate be %
fore my eyes I urge all those calling
themselves Germans. in view Of the
common danger. TO close their ranks in
order that each one according to his
capacity may help to the utmost in the
restoration of the fatherland."

To His Excellency Baron Won Kissing, Governor Cen

Your Excellency-The whole Belgian nation is
deeply moved at the news that young men CT German
extraction, who have declared for Belgian nationality
are threatened with enrolment in the German army.
Such measure is opposed to The Hague convention,
to which Germany has put her signature It does
violence to the deepest sentiments of our Belgian
fatherand by dragging away from it its adopted chill
dren 1t outrages the conscience of many young men,

For these reasons the bishops of Belgium in the
interest of morality, with the guardianship of which
they have been intrusted have recourse to your Ex

that you will spare effort to prevent the authori-
ties of the empire from committing such fragrant
infringement both of the international law and the

OF shops, restaurants, etc"
On the of the celebration appeared a further
warning of the Governor in which the public was
advised to have nothing to do with certain section
of irresponsible people who, it rumored, were en-
deavoring to influence the population against the OBJ
of the decree and that penalties for infracon
OF the order would be applied ruthlessly and without
mercy.
These threats were followed by the appearance in
the streets of patrols of armored cars designed in
still fear into the peoples minds The only result of
these to stimulate further the desire of
the inhabitants of Brussels TO manifest their patriotic
ardor. Hence while respecting the letter of the decree
they had to numerous devices, each in
genous than the other in celebrating the National Day.
