LONDON N.-Although BritonS regard
gangsters, racketeers and kidnapers as
types of crooks better able to ply their
trade in the United States than in this
country. there Is growing concern about
the continued increase in crime i'll these
isles, and especially as war children. p"
or the juveniles of the years 19l4-l9l8,
are responsible for two-thirdS OF the
crime of today.
Arthur Locke, assistant secretary in
charge Of the criminal department Of
the home Office, has caused widespread
discussion of this problem of youth and
crime through an official blue book
which also reveals the fact that the
total crimes known to the police in
1890, 147.031 cases, was the highest in
this country. or 12,450 more than in
1929 and 62,784 more than the average
for 1900-1904.
He attributes the drift Of the young
to crime to absence OF parental and
other supervision during the war years
and to industrial depression, particu-
larly in the north Of England. It fire.
quently has been contended by some
educational authorities that children
born during the war, especially when
England was air raided, were more diff
ficult to handle than children born
after the war
This statistical low-down of the ma
tional crime sheet shows that larceny,
breahngs-in and robbery of various
kinds are the most prevalent offenses
against society. and that two-thirds of
those found guilty of committing such
offenses were under 80 years of age and
two-fifths under 81. The middle-aged
evil-doer is becoming a rarity and the
really old one an exception.
AS several judges have pointed out in
recent months, and as the police au-
thoritieS agree, the most daring crimes
of the present time, such as smash-and-
grab raids on shops, are the work of
young adults. The old lag" or crook

Hawaiian Sugar Owners
Defend Filipino Labor

HONOLULU, Hawaii.-Strong efforts
are being made by the sugar planters of
Hawaii to convince Congress that no
good purpose will be served in barring
Filipino immigrants from Hawaii. Va
rious bills before Congress dealing with
the Philippines endanger the continu-
ance of importation of Filipino labor
for the island sugar plantations.
Royal D. Mead, representative in
Washington of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association, recently asked
the House Insular Affairs Committee
not to restrict this Importation
At the present time few Filipinos are
coming to the islands. Owing to the
low price of sugar, operations of the
plantations are somewhat reduced. Field
labor is up to requirements except for a
lew requirements. If, however, the
price OF sugar goes up substantially. as
It Is expected to do when the world
sugar regulation plan gets into swing,
the Hawaiian plantations will need ad-
dItlonal labor to take care of additional
fields they will cultivate and the larger
yields of raw sugar. The Philippines
now offer the only available source OF
supply.

came afoul the law by tackling job

1t Is cohtended in some quarters that

Discussing Juvenile crime in England

Among juveniles of II 10 10 the
number guilty was almost three times

Among youths and girls aged Is 10
81 the number guilty was between twice

Among the younger adults aged Il 10

that just under 40 per cent of the

English Soldier Pays
German Hero Homage

BERLIN, Germany.-Through the
effort Of a gallant former enemy the
Rutz family of Oberammergau was able
recently to receive the last greeting"
from its heroic dead son.
Wilhelm Rutz, a youthful German
soldier from Oberammergau, seat OF
the renowned passion play. was killed
some time in October, 1918, during one
OF the last engagements in the world
war. On his BODY a British soldier
found notebook and an iron cross
but no address of the victim. He took
both the decoration and the memor-
anoum, determined to send them back
TO the parents of the German as soon
as he found their location in Germany.
Years passed and the address of the
Rutz family in Germany remained a
mystery.
Then, one day recently he read in
a London daily the story of Ami Rutz,
who played the part of Virgin Mary in
the 1880 passion plays. Gould by any
chance she be related to Wilhelm
Rutz?" he asked himself. To Ami he
went and learned from her the address
Of the dead soldiers parents, after
which he sent the cross and notebook
to the Rutz family.

some wonderful stories. Spirits
Of Calvin, Theodore de Beze,
Voltaire, Cavour and Lord Stanhope-
all are supposed to haunt the old six
teenth century villa in Bessinges,
beautiful suburb of Geneva, where Sec
retary of State Henry L. Stimson set
up his European annex to the Amer
ican State Department. And if spirits
were talkative they might reveal some
highly interesting bits of diplomatic
maneuvering which went on when Mr..
StimSon, with his confidential staff,
took over the out-of-the-way estate in
order that his conferences with Premier
Tardieu, Chancellor Bruen1ng, Prime
Minister Macdonald, Secretary-General
Sir Eric Drummond of the League and
a galaxy of foreign ministers, ambaS-
sadorS and men of lesser Importance
might be cloaked in privacy.
When Secretary StimSon arrived in
Geneva on April 16 the word went out
that he was interested in disarmament
and disarmament alone. President

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 17.-How
short is the memory Of film fanss
Around this question revolves an
argument between Frances Mar
ion, ace scenarist, and some Of
the officials at Metro Goldwyn-

Miss Marion believes that Wal.
lace Beery followers still cherish
the memory Of him as Dutch"
hero Of THE Big House" She
believes it so confidently that
she Is writing the character into
another story for Beery and little
Jackie Cooper.
So far, certain M-G-M produc-
ton officials wag their heads du-
biously at the idea. They think
that ::"The Champ" and ''FleSh"
have dimmed the interest in the
early prison film. They're doubt
ful about sequalS anyway.
But Miss Marion preseveres,
and, because she is so often right,
the officials have agreed to hold
an open mind
As 1t happens, can cite an in
stance to support her claim. The
other night I ran into Beery,
who had Sneaked into Loew'S
State ~Theater here. to see an
early performance of "FleSh." AS
we were walking down the stairs
together, two girls spotted him.
One sang out: "Mr. Beery I
thought your, picture was great,
but I liked you better in The
Big House,"
And here were two typical fans.
