THE drawing UP of the peace
p;ict in Locarao and it~ raii-
uCation in London and Berlin
i = definite victory for he
"po!icy of cooperation in
Germany. The Versailles treaty WAS
considered an injustice by all parties
of the German people. because the
economic requir neatS from Germany
were 80 heavy that II seemed doubt
full whether, under them. the recon
StrIctlou II German business WAS at
all possible.
THIN the anger OF the German peo-
pie against the treaty was further ac-
centuated by the fact that they re-
carded Il a kind Of law that the
allies in their strength had prumul-
gated against Germany and that now
1t must b" carried out, paragraph by
paragraph. like a domestic law.
But finally the endeaTors of a large
part Of the German people, under the
leadership of the Conservative parties,
by an appeal to world wide public
opinion and through international pro
tests, brought about change in the
Interpretation of the treaty. The
statesmen standing for fulfillment of
the treaty had adopted the attitude
from the very beginning that Il formal
change In the text OF the Versailles
treaty was not possible. They saw
that the treaty was a compromise by
26 allies; SO that no part of 1t, could
he changed without serious reactions
10 the interests of all parties. They
said. therefore. that Il change in form
could never be brought about, but only
a change in actual Interpretation.
They stood for the Wow that Germany
should show by actually carrying out
the economic paragraphs that the eff
feet would iDjure the economic inter
ests OF the allies themselves, thereby
starting tho administration of the
treaty in paths that would also be
bearable for Germany.
Party Called Slave.
The nationalist agitatorS called this
party the slaves OF the entente. and
the murder of Erzbereer and Rattle
nau is directly attributable to their in
StiSation. In reality this party failed
because not only was weak Germany
in no position TO break the treaty Of
Versailles by force, but also because
after the World War government by
force could find no echo in the civilized
world.
The opposing parties worked for
patriotic motives and with an eye to
the needs OF their own nation, but
they also knew that the aims Of each

North America does one find volunteer
fire departments that purchase high

their own pockets when necessary TO
make up deficits in operating eX-

BY LEWIS T.. LAWES,
Agent and Warden, Sing Sing Prison


If you discuss crime with the aver
age man. his solution for it's COM
plex problems may he summed up In
these words: Hang all those who
kill; put the rest of the criminals in
prison for their natural lives; ster-
ilize all mental detectives; spank the
Juvenile offenders and put them to
bed
But today some of us recognize
that not only are individuals respon-
sible to society, but that there exists
a grave reciprocal responsibility on
the part of society to the individual
IN numerous instances the crime Is
but the natural result of the environ
ment in which the offender was
brought up.
Crime is the result of social and
economic conditions with roots deeper
than punishment can hope to cure.
Ever though we could attain the
maximum efficiency Of 100 per cent
parole success in men discharged
from prison, we would still have the
annual crop of first offenders to deal
with. Reliable figures Indicate that
less than 10 per cent of those in this
country who commit crime are ap-
pretended yand punished, and until
this fundapental weakness is rene
died much of the deterrency of any
kind OF a prison sentence is mate
rally weakened. =
Hundreds Succeed.
The men who come from prison,
the paroled men, are judged by those
among them who fail. The public
does not hear of the hundreds who
are quietly succeeding and does not
realize that for each backsliding first
offender paroled three or four are
making good.
The average citizen has little or
no regard for the indeterminate SEN
tence and parole, and practically
every prisoner abhors It; yet the in
determinate sentence and the devel-
opment of the modern principles of
parole have been the great forward
steps in our penology today.
Society is better protected by the
rehabilitation of the offender, and it
is very difficult, If not impossible, for
the judge to know in advance how
long a time will be required for such
social readjuStment. To determine
penalties in advance is to close ones
eye 10 the fact that there is crimi-
nal as well as a crime. Acts may be
alike, but men never.
All sentences should be completely
and entirely indeterminate. Men are

a considerable period communities
objectifying the ideal of political or
religious perfection. None of these
is so picturesque nor in essence so
permanent as the chapter in our his
tory that embodies the doctrine of
Mormonism, propounded by Joseph
Smith and carried forward by
Brigham Young. In effect this is a
history Of Mormonism. In design it
is the story of the life of Brigham
Young, prefaced by q sketch of Jo-
seph Smith. Brigham Young. the
leader and statesman, is the man
presented here under the deliberate
and extended researches of this
author. A sturdy character to whose
personality Is due the development
OF Mormonism as IAN extraordinary

The story, unfolding as the de-
velOpment or this new creed, presents
Young in many an incident and plan
and circumstance which prove him
to have been a man of practical
political ability. driven by a religious
enthusiasm. Within the larger set
