Miss CIementine Smith,
Native Of District, Dies

Miss Clementine Smith, lifelong
resident of Washington and the last
immediate survivor of an old and
prominent family, died yesterday
after a brief illness at her apart
ment, 1150 Connecticut avenue NV.
She was a granddaughter of Col.
John Cox, once Mayor of George
town.
Miss Smith was the daughter of
the late John A. Smith and Mrs.
Sally Cox Smith. In Washington
she is survived by several first
cousins, Mrs. Larkin Glazetrook,
Mrs. E. E. Whiting, Mrs. Laurence
Benet, Mrs. Charles Hume, Miss
Lydie Addison, Miss Mary Cox and
Miss Eva Cox.
Funeral services were set for 2
pm. today at the apartment, with
burial in Congressional Cemetery.

was pushed forward mistakes and
all with speed that amazed the
Allies and the Central Powers, and
in the end it won the war. 1t
seems incredible that Congress will
be permitted to adjourn-as it has
been planned-within a couple of
weeks without first passing a uni
versal military training law.
Time is the essence in this day
and age. The saying goes-here
and there-that there is no reason
to believe that Germany under Hit
Ter will seek to invade or attack the
Americas if the Germans win the
present war in Europe. There is
no good reason, either, to believe
that they will not attack. Indeed,
if they have set out to conquer the
world, as so many say, the wise
thing for the Germans to do would
be to move into some of the South
American countries without delay
The job then of the United States
would be to oust the Germans
And that would be a job that would
require not only machines but man
power on huge scale.
Universal military training for the
youth of America would be a great
advantage, not for national defense
alone but for better and healthier
American manhood.

Probation Office
Sets Record With
.5,067 Cases
Second Trust Granted
To 925, Report for
1889 DiscIoses

II will refer your case to the pro-
baton office for further investisa-
tion."
Police Court judges, after hearing
testimony, issued that order 5,067
times during 1899 and from the
subsequent reports 925 defendants
won the privilege Of probation.
That Observation-Disclosures that
less than one person in hve investi-
gated last year was worthy Of .
second trust" in the eyes Of the
law, according to the annual report
OF the probation department Of
Police Court, released today by
Chief Probation Ofncer Joseph N.
Sanford.
OF the 5,o67 investigations, those
denied probation-4,142-went to
Jail or received less stringent dis.
positions. The number of investi-
cations during the 12-month span
set record for the department.
1,281-Case Increase.
The 1899 total shows an increase
OF 1921 cases over the previous
year, giving an average of 77.OS per-
sons placed on probation each
month. The grand total of cases
disposed of in Police Court during
that period was 57,385. So
Addition of two probation officers
to the staff, now numbering eight,
during 1899 aided in building up
the units all-time record, Mr.. San
ford said, but the. increasing de-
mands for probationary investiRa-
ton overtaxes the force at hand
and more officers are needed.
Departmental activities include
taking OF complete personal his
tories OF all defendants In an at
tempt to clarity In the Judges
minds the background and circum-
stances Of every case before passing
sentence. All probationers must
report each week and have their
identification cards stamped. Viola
ton OF that regulation carries with
1t possible suspension unless q sat.
isfactory explanation is forthcom-
ing.
40 States Represented.
Forty States and 10 foreign coun-
tries were represented on the rolls,
covering So separate classes Of law
violations, headed by petit larceny.
lntoxication and assault.
Occupations represented included
street vendors, professors, soldiers.
sailors, tree surgeons. piano teach
ers, watchmen, walters, bellhops.
attorneys, druggists, farmers, en-
glneers, engravers, meat packers.
photographers, pipe filters, florists,
chefs and retired businessmen.
Statistics REVEAL that in all classi-
ncations, race and sex, the age
group with the greatest number of
offenders was % to IS and that
married people outnumbered single
probationers almost 2 to l.
F1ngerprinting of 1889 defendants
was a marked increase over anv
previous year, Mr.. Sanford said, and
several fugitives were apprehended.
One of the biggest problems, MI.
Sanford declared, was finding work
Tor unemployed probationers, 1O4
persons falling under that classifica-
ton last year. Twenty-nine Jobs
were obtained through the depart
ment and 56 "job references" made
