 New York, August Especially For week. which began with a dis appointment, the past seven days have turned out to be more stuffed with interest than might have been anticipated. The disappointment came with midnight of last Sunday. An amateur prophet had announced that as the date when the whole of New York would slide into the sea, and broiling populace waited expectantly for the glad event No such luck. When torrid midnight clicked off it's last red hot second without even a splash of ocean foam to wet the sig zling paVements, the city with a sigh turned back to crime and perspira- ton.
 Both these midsummer diversions have attained prominence hardly to be oVerrated. If the Atlantic declined To engulf the town, not so with the heat and crime waves. Maybe the heat has made burglars averse to unnecessary work At any rate 1t is no longer considered clever to pick locks. The dumb waiter and the 9N iHSiHS rope methods are those most in vogue. There has been d per feet epidemic of dumb waiter thiev- ing in the Bronx, with resultant losses ranging from s1O to s6.00O.
 But your thoroughly up- to- the- minute theft gets long rope, takes q half hitch round the chimney next door, swings against a window, kicks it in and proceeds in the usual manner A new speed record was es- tablished by fur thieves on West Thirty street. They swung into store, inadvertently setting off the burglar alarm. and swung out again with 5000 worth of furs in the eight minutes before the police summoned by the alarm, arrived
 Altogether, the weeks big robber- ies aggregated something like $75,- 900. Which after all, as the police point out, is nothing compared with the national debt. Three bandits for example, jumped aboard truck one afternoon and were making off with the chauffeur. his son and s45 900 in silks, when halted by the polic3 and a revolver fight.

WILL MAKE TEST OF COURT
Law Says Confession of a Juvenile Prisoner Cannot
 Be Used Against Him

Montgomery August 5.-(Speciall Provisions of Montgomery's juvenile court law which says the confession of juvenile shall never be used against him in any court, ran counter to the criminal laws of the state li1 the circuit court Friday when Oscar O'Neal, negro, was called before the bar to answer the charge that he1 killed Webster Mason, another negro, because Mason had been promoted to truck driver at the negro reform atory at Mount Meigs after O'Neal had lost the favor of the superinten dent of the institution
 ONeal confessed to various persons that he killed Mason. In the crim- inal division of the circuit court his attorneys set up the contention that O'Neal was a juvenile at the time and ward of the juvenile court and that his confession could not be used.
 Judge Leon McCord permitted the evidence to go before the jury in order that the jury itself might de- termine whether or not the negro was 16 years old or under. The jury promptly returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and fixed the punishment at life impris- onment.
 - After this trial Tommie Harris. another negro inmate of the reform school, pleaded guilty to compllciiy in the killing of Mason and was given 10 years. Harris contended that he did not help kill Mason but did help place his body in a brush heap.
 o'Nears attorneys gave notice of an appeal to the supreme court, which will determine whether or not the confession of person under 1C may be used and also whether O. not dispute over the age of de- fendant is for adjustment by the judge or jury.

SUPREME COUNCIL
 WILL TAKE UP THE
 RUSSIAN QUESTION
There Are Many Pitfalls in the Way of a Concerted Plan of Relief, With'Germany
 the Worst
By WILLIAM BIRD Special Cable to The AEe-Herald fE-s-A. rru.


 Paris, August 6.-If the Russian horror needed to be intensified by a comic relief Europe's governors would supply it. Last week the writer reported their blind indif ference not only to the ordinary hu- man mass involved, but what is more important, to the awful consequence a spread of famine and plague in Russia might have in the rest of Europe. It was particularly men toned that jeers had greeted the suggestion that the allied supreme council should take cognizance of the matter at its meeting next Monday.
 Since then officialdom has changed its attitude. Prime Minister Lloyd

MERIDIAN STORES ENTERED

Meridian, Miss. August 6.-(Spe- cialo - The general merchandise stores of c. E. Roberts and John Gil- bert in Meridian were burglarized last night, and considerable goods stolen. The burglars gained entrance by breaking glass door in the Roberts store and skylight fin ths Gilbert store. The burglars made a complete getaway. no clue to their identity having been discovered up to late today.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-08-07

other principal governments, as 10 have the matter placed on the pro- gramme of the council.
 What is the reason for this abrupt change? There has been no actual change in the famine situation. If anything, later reports have tended to tone down some of the earlier ex- aggeraticn. The thing that made Mr. Lloyd George and M. Briand change their tune was Secretary Hoover's announcement of the official Ameri- can relief efforts.
 Hoover ProPoaai
 The Hoover proposal was a sur prise. as many acts of the Harding administration have been. For five months the European capitals have been trying to get line on the new American foreign policy. They are wondering now if this Russian action furnished a clue. They are discussing whether or not it harks back to the Wilson dictum that the attitude of the powers toward Russia would be the "acid test" of their sincerity. They are trying to figure out if. Secretary Hoover. for whom they have the ut most respect as an organizer, Is be- ginning a new campaign against bol- shevism, substituting food for guns.
 For the time being there are no answers for the many queries that are being propounded. But it is ob- vious that America Is climbing into tho drivers scat and that the French and English premiers have made haste to get aboard the band wagon Thus one more demonstration is given that American initiative alone can get European diplomacy out of it's rut. It is probable now that the Russian question will dominate all @f1 .lt rt, oIrfr H the supreme council. This does not mean it will get the greatest ambunt of attention in the press, for the S- lesian mess will provide spectacular moments.
 Russian Question
 However, the mere fact that the supreme council is going to discuss the Russian question does not mean 1t will be settled. European diplomacy has two great faults as events Since the peace have shown. First. an in- ability to see, and second, an inabil- ity to act. Its eyes have partly been opened to the Russian peril by Secre- tary Hoover but whether it can be galvanized into timely action is another question.
 If action Is to be taken on any ade- quate scale. Germany will have to be called upon to play a major role. Germany Is the only European nation capable of furnishing not only the machinery, tool and supplies for q great rescue army. but also the skilled engineers to direct the reorganiza- stion of Russias transportation sys- tems which Is necessary before re- lief work can be carried on. That Germany would draw immense bene- Tit from such an enterprise not only through sales of material, but by economic penetration and consolida- ton of position in Russia goes with out saying.
 That is one of the pitfalls that await the plan of relief. The notion of succoring Russia is repugnant enough to certain European politi . clans without opening limitless aven- ues of development to Germany at the same time- There are some who would let the whole European tree perish than allow the Russian and German buds to burst into bloom

And then his mother came TO the

running from the kitchen, crying
