case" the association concluded.
1T will be noted that 1874, or 81 per
cent of the cases reported were
solved in this manner during 1910.
This method of solving cases has
oeen gradually decreasing and should
be entirely eliminated"
During 1910, there we're $40 ser
ious crimes charged to juveniles.
This total represents % per cent of
all actual arrests. The offenses con-
sisted largely of housebreakings
robberies, grand larcenies and ag-
gravated assaults.
Only 2,l38, or 23.2 per cent, OF the
9230 total admissions to Jail during
the last half of 1910 represented
persons who had not previously been
arrested Many of these persons.
the report stated. we're arrested
more than once and, in several
instances, single person was placed
in Jail seven times during the six
month period. 1t was found that
the 1874 persons arrested most fire.
quently accounted for 799 arrests,
twelfth of the total number.
Bulk in Four Precincts.
Out of a total of 15 convictions
cited by the report. not one wss
found guilty as indicted.
Such a record the association
asserted, would seem to indicate
that convictions are not being OBJ
tanned on original indictments, but
rather accused persons are pleading
guilty or are being found guilty OF
lesser offenses. Grand juries. it
would appear, should review evi-
dence presented TO them more crit
ically. in order to assure citizens
of fair and just protection"
Flfty-three per cent of all crime
in Washington last year, according
TO the report. was committed in
the first, second, third and thir-
teenth precincts. 1t was in this area
that the city's murders of recent
date occurred

BrestLitovsk Seizure
By Germans Recalls
1918 Treaty Signing
Soviets Made Separate
Peace With Central
Powers in Old City

In Brest Litovsk, occupied by the
Nazis during their drive through
Eastern Poland, treaty was signed
in 1918 ending Russia's participa-
ton in the World War on the side
of the Allies. That action was the
modern history highlight of the
city which the Poles called BrZesc
mad Bugiem tBrest on the Bug,
points out a bulletin from the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
Before the war of 19l4-19l8 Brest
Litovsk was one of Western Rus
sia's busiest trading centers because
of its site at the junction of the
Bug and Muchow,rc Rivers. and
because of its railroad connections
with such cities as Warsaw. Minsk,
Miscow, Wilno Wilma, and Kiev,
continues the bulletin. Never
large city tits populat ton has been
about 10000. Brest Litovsk never
theless had importance as center
of grain. hide. timber and fax trade
The Russians, before 1914. made
Brest Litovsk strong fortress,
which was considered impregnable
until the Germans took it in Au-
gust, 1915, after the bulk Of the
Russians had withdrawn.
There were really two treaties of
Brest Litovsk After the Russian
Revolution of 1917, the Soviet re-
gime undertook negotiations for an
armistice with Germany and Aus
ia-Hungary. On February 9. 1918,
the central powers made separate
treaty with the Ukranian Republic.
which claimed independence from
Moscow Then. on March 3, the
more far-reaching treaty was signed
between the central powers and the
Soviet government Scene of the
discussions was the fortress Of Brest
Litovsk, which had become the
headquarters of the German East
ern Army.
Brest Litovsk has suffered many
