DEAL JUSTLY WITH CHILDREN
Almost Every Country Now Has
Courts to Handle Cases Of Juve.
b " nile Delinquency. .-...

The example set by the United
States in establishing juvenile courts
has been followed by all the priuci-
pal countries Of Europe. Spain, the
last to fall in line, has adopted the
modern viewpoint that delinquent chill
dren should not be treated as crimf-
nails, but rather as victims Of adverse
conditions and surroundings. In work.
ing out the details Of the law, Spanish
authorities have followed Americas
experience, according to information
received by the children's bureau Of
the United States department Of
labor.
Under the Spanish law the children's
Judge is not necessarily member Of
the bench. He is assisted by two ad-
visory members appointed by the COM
mission for the protection of children.
Privacy is guarded very closely in the
Spanish juvenile courts; no one ex-
cept probation officers Is allowed in
the court unless by special permission.
and the press is forbidden to publish
any informatio about cases of juvenile
delinquents. ...s; q. i.
Since Chicago established the first
juvenile court in 1899, similar courts
have been established in England,
France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark,
Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Russia.

New York.-A. n. G.. Fokker, in
ventor and builder of wartime combat
airplanes, arrived here from Rotter

swiftest pursuit plane used by German
air fighters on the western front.
Mr.. Fokker, who said that as a
Hollander he had taken no personal
part in Germany's war operations over
the allied lines, predicted rapid ad.
vances Elm the art of flying in the near
future.
"With1n the next five or ten years."
he said, people will be able to cross
the Atlantic ocean in less than day
and in much more comfort than in
travel by steamer"
The development Of directional wire
less, he added, would enable pilots to
fly by night and in murky weather as
well as on clear days.

One of the problems which naval
architects have to confront is the roll

The same pendulum can be made

size and shape by adding or removing
artificial resistance to the oscillatory
motion. ~
This instrument has been employed

DEAD WAIT SHIPMENT
1900 Bodies of Yankee Heroes
Are in French Ports.
Nine Thousand Bodies Already Have
Been Brought Back-AlI Removed
From Germany.

Paris.-Nearly 1900 bodies Of Amer.
lean soldiers who died or were killed
in France during the war have been
shipped to the United States and
turned over to their nearest relatives
and 1900 more await shipment at
French ports, it is announced by the
United States grave registration serv-

les Of fallen Americans Is expected to
be completed by next summer.
Nearly 60 per cent of the bodies Of
American officers and enlisted men
buried in French soil will be returned
to the United States according to re-

parents and wives Of dead soldiers
come to France to remove the re-

The elimination of bodies within
the war zone began on September Is,
and since then work has been COM

at Bony, the first of the big American
cemeteries, has begun, and IS per cent
of the men buried there will be sent
to the United States.
Nearly 1000 men will work all win,
ter in order to complete the removals
by next summer. The task, of ex-
huming the bodies of soldiers buried
in Great Britain has been finished, 80
per cent of them being shipped to the
United States.
Removal Of bodies from occupied
areas In Germany and Luxembourg
has just been completed, and all Of
them were sent to America. Work
ing forces will begin operations in
Belgium next month, and from GENE
