CHURCHES CALLED
TO JUVENILE WORK
Judge Kathryn Sellers Gives
Talk Before Protective
Association Here.

Lack of interest among the
| churches of Washington in the de-
| linquent children and others brought
before the Juvenile Court for M nor
offenses was brought out by Kathryhn
Sellers. judge of the Juvenile Cour,.
| in her talk last evening before tn.
Juvenile Protective Association at the
| annual meeting in the gold room OF
| the Shoreham Hotel
The court is unable by law to do
! anything for children until they have
been actually committed for crime"
she said. and it is surprising that
! there are never representatives from
any Of the churches in the court to
look out for youngsters on probation
| and to see that they get the proper
| guidance and care to prevent their
| return to court"
She maintained that this work
] should be managed and financed by
\ the city, but that since it was not.
| civic organizations would have to
! bear the burden
! THE Juvenile Protective Associa-
ton is doing the finest kind of work,
she continued. and / trust the peo-
pie of Washington will back them up
with the necessary funds to the limit
of their possibilities"

/ Children OF Europe.
Ernest p. Bicknell. deputy commits
sioner Of the American Red Cross in
Europe, gave a talk on the number
lof starving children in Europe, and
how the newly formed nations were
in SO chaotic a state as not to be
able as yet to care for their own
young.
He pointed out that the whole
youth of Europe was neglected for
seven years on account of the war.
and that with this lack of parental
care and proper training there was
! little promise of future usefulness of
these children. He said that there
were 100000 war orphans in Eu-
rope now, 100000 of whom were
/ without homes or friends, and that
their case would be a pitiable one
without help from America during the
coming winter.
