Child Delinquency

Like the U. S., Britain has its ju-
venile delinquency, and most Of it
IS attributed to lack of adequate SUI
pervision because Of parental occu-
patton in the war effort.
Juvenile delinquency has in
creased from the prewar rate Of 4
per 1000 to 9 per 1000, principally
because thousands of fathers are in
the armed forces, one out of four
mothers are holding full time jobs,
and inadequate rations compel fam
lilies to eat at least one meal away
from home.

woman's college in the East There,

ards of womanhood far different from

contrasting standards are but parts, re-

Not STANDING Still

One or the reasons for Washing
tons notorious reputation in tuber-
culosis death rate is the statistical
custom of treating the District of
Columbia as State in tables of
comparison. Thus the District is
pictured. in the most recent report
OF the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton, as having a death rate second
only to Arizona, highest in the Ma
ton. The more significant compari-
son would lie in treating Washington
as city-not a State. The crowded
cities are where tuberculosis breeds,
and any city rate is apt to exceed the
rate for State as a whole.
The psychology of stressing WASH
ington's tuberculosis death rate has
Its advantages, for anything that
can be done to spur public opinion to
make available more funds to fight
. this plague is worth while. But some
OF the statements about health
conditions in Washington are subject
to such distortion that the city is
frequently painted as a veritable
hellhole of disease. That sort of
exaggeration hinders, rather than
helps. the execution of plans de-
signed to eliminate the sources of
disease and puts the emphasis in the
wrong place, such as agitation for
bigger and better hospitals.
The results Of the excellent work
OF the District Health Departments
Bureau of tuberculosis are becoming
more apparent every year. The
tuberculosis death rate Is already
below that Of some comparable cities
which have good reputation in
public health. The tuberculosis
death rate has been reduced from
1923 in 1885 to the 67.2 just shown
Tor 1943. In deaths among whites,
Washington Is about twelfth in
thirty-six cities; among colored,
about eighth in eighteen cities.
More attention than ever is being
paid to early detection and treat
ment of infection. Compulsory X-ray
chest examinations are becoming
the rule in public employment. We
have a long way still to go, but it is
misleading when Washington is
pictured as standing still.

Gas Warfare
BY Maj. George FieIdine Eliot

The Chinese high command has re-
peatedly stated that the japanese have
been using poison gas against Chinese
troops and civilians. On June 20, a
report was published to the effect that
the use of two types Of poison gas by
the japanese at Hongyang mustard gas
and Lewisite) had been confirmed by
an American Army oflicer on the spot,
Capt. Ralph F. Thompson Of the Chem
ical Warfare Service Since then
nothing further has been heard on this
subject
Should these reports prove true. then
the question of reprisals inevitably
arises. On June 8, l943, President
Roosevelt stated: ANY use Of gas by
any power will Immediately be followed
by the fullest retaliation upon muni-
tions centers, seaports and other mill
tary objectives throughout the whole
extent of the territory Of such Axis
country" This threat was apparently
aimed particularly at Germany; for at
that time there were rumors that the
Germans were preparing to use poison
gas against Britain in retaliation for
the rising scale of Allied air lombard
ment of German centers. and in any
case we were not, in June, 1943. in any
position to employ gas attacks
throughout the whole extent" of Jap
anese territory or indeed against any
japanese territory except a few out
lying Pacific atolls and perhaps some
of the Kurile Islands.
But the situation is different now.
If the japanese are proved to have
been using poison gas against our Chi
nese allies, then obviously the queS-
ton of whether we should use poison
gas against the japanese must be con-
sidered. There Is temptation to say.
"Yes. of course, and the sooner the
better" But the answer Is not as simple
as that.
Certainly we should gain considerable
military advantage in our advance
across the Pacific by the use of gas.
The japanese air power has failed
them. at least in its long-distance ap-
plication. They are not yet, apparently,
prepared to bring out their fleet for
showdown naval action. They are
putting their dependence, for the time
being, in q time-gaining process Of
which the backbone is determined last
ditch resistance by local garrisons of
ground troops. Some of these can be
by-passed, but others, in positions
needed by our advancing forces for
base purposes, must be rooted out with
bayonet and grenade in costly infantry
combat. They cannot be shelled out
or bopbed out because of the depth
and strength Of their defensive works,
and because Of their excellent use of
terrain features such as the caves Of
Saipan. But 1t is entirely possible that

It Is easy to see how Leghorn
became cosmopolitan center.
Ferdinand's successors commonly
were as tolerant as himself. Under
their administration, the city rose
to be the principal rival of Genoa.
Two picturesque fortresses, the
Vecchia and the Nouva, have

But still greater strangers OF
genius than Smollett are connected
with Leghorn. John Milton visited
the town on his way to interview
Galileo in 1888. Here also Shelley
lived at intervals between 1918 and
the tragic end of his career in 1922.
The poet was drowned with his
friend Lieutenant Edward Elliker
Williams and a sailor boy in the
Gulf OF Spezia. Last of their associ-
ates to see them before they de-
parted on their fatal voyage was

whom at Leghorn Robert Browning

question: "Ah, did you once see
