NEW YORK. Feb. 17.-There is a
widespread belief prevalent among
all classes and frequently expressed
by criminologists and psychologists
that Juvenile criminality has been in
creasing rapidly in almost all civil
ICED communities, particularly in the
past Is or 20 years.
The most trying cases, perhaps,
that we are called upon to deal with
among mentally abnormal children
though there may be but scant evil
dence or no evidence at all of in.
tellectual deficiency--are the moral
imbeciles. They are a perplexing
problem to the psychiatrist and the
iurfst, as they seem to be the I'M
fortunate product OF inherited nerv-
Gus instability and ancestral criminal
instincts and tendencies.
Factors Concerned
Now let us see what might pos
sibly have led Michael Ponkraskow,
the 12.year-old lad, to commit MUIR
der. Economic factors are possibly
the most potent. Poverty and want
mean that the growing child either
does, not get enough food or does
not receive the proper kind of
food.
With circumstances of his char.
acter one will almost always find
congested, unhealthful. and cramped
living quarters which. in turn, are
apt to lead to moral and mental
degradation by forcing growing chill
dren out upon the streets for their
recreation.
They then have unusual oppor
tunities of observing crime, mitat.
ing lawlessness, and acquiring
vicious habits, and finally OF becom-
ing accomplices in crime, or the

OF course, another very fertile
source IS the ignorance Of parents,
who are incapable Of teaching their

better things and it's royal cinch
that some improvement must be
made in their bills. The birth of
the Mutual business in this city
witnessed a season of corking good
shows and the Avenue House was
packed nightly. That was the end.
Last season and the season before
saw nothing of real merit showing
up at the Mutual and business fell
steadily. With Hurtig and Semon's
attractions playing there and a
general improvement in the other
companies there should be better
box office business.
In Ira LIE Motto and Harry
Jarboe, the Gayety and Mutual
have a pair of very popular men
as managers. LaMotte has been
with us many years and Harry is
a Washington boy. Both have a
strong following, but not strong
enough to make it stand for
some of the poor shows that were
seen at both houses last sea
son.
Burlesque fans have long been
looked upon as 50 ps by the pro.
ducers. 1t has been claimed from
time immemorial that any old
rot could be showed into a bur-
lesque house and do business.
This was TRUE, but things have
changed and the big boys of the
two wheels are wildly seeking TO
inject something new into the
programs. For the first time since
the entrance Of the Mutual in
terests in the field, the wheels
are snarling at each other. The
younger circuit Is fighting to get
the better class companies into
the fold while Sam Scribner and
his aides plan to flood their stages
with musical comedy and all star
burlesque.
Let us hope that their plans
will give birth to a few good
shows at any rate.

Egypt Used as Base
For British Anti
Soviet Propaganda

CAIRO, June l5.-How deeply Brit
ish imperialism has sunk its fangs in
to the life fabric Of the Egyptian ma
ton is evidenced by the open usurpa-
ton Of police control by British off
Gals and their filtration into the high
est positions in the domestic admin
istration Of the Egyptian Government.
To accomplish its purposes, the con-
querors are using here, as elsewhere,
white guard Russian mercenaries.
In Alexandria the police force is
frankly under British control, and in
Cairo, Russell Pasha is Chief of Po-
lice. There is an unconcealed traffic
between these British agents and the
Russian emigre White Guards, who
are eager to sell their services as
agent provocateurs To facilitate this
commerce, a Russian Bureau" has
been established by the police, who
have placed at its head the Czarist
ex-general consul, Petrow
Thousands of counter-revolutionary
Russian emigrants have found sanctu-
airy in this hotbed of anti-working
class and imperialist intrigue, and it
continues to be the scandal of the ma
tion that even at this late day the
Egyptian Government still recognizes
the White Guardist mission as the Of
fetal Russian representatives.
An active anti-Soviet and anti-Boi-
shevist propaganda is carried on by
these emigr6s, subsidized by and I'M
der the protection of the British Gov
eminent agents, and it is stated here,
on good authority, that only recently
a sum of 10000 pounds sterling was
assigned to the local authorities for
the avOwed purpose Of waging war
on "Sovietism and Bolshevism," to be
devoted mainly to anti-Soviet espio-
mage and propaganda.
