He urged that Germany and : Great Britain set an example which? would have it effect pon other; great European powers. ' ' ( Germany now proposes to build two large battleships in. 1914 at a cost of ISO.000,000, and England's program calls for twice that . num ber of ships at twice the cost There is only one way by which the annual expenditure for; bigger, battleships and larger guns can be reduced, and that Is by International agreement, said Mr. v Churchill. ' Therefore he again proposed that England and Germany ,; agree to abandon , their battleship - programs for twelve months. " t ' Mr. Churchill? pointed out that even If Germany and Great Britain tried and failed,, which he thought Impossible, to induce other nations to participate in the naval holiday, themere fact that these two coun tries ; were cooperating ; in . such a cause would he beneficial.; He pre dicted strong opposition from arma ment manufacturers, . but he said the time is approaching when Eu rope must call a halt to militarism. The futility of Europe's mad race for naval and military supremacy was pointed out. (' Relative positions of the powers Is not affected by the construction of battleships. r Even if the program continues, none will pain any advantage over the other. Therefore the demand for constant ly Increasing naval and military ex penditures .Is ' unsupported by - the theory of national defense, "for when r.ermahy builds one battleship Eng land builds two.

' -,For years small merchants In certain sections ef New York have been paying tribute regularly to organised gangs. They were taxed by these gangsters ac cording to their earnings, whloh were thoroughly ascertained by the under world characters. If a man refused to be bled by the gang he was .promptly made an cxamDla of. If he had horses they were poisoned. Kls children werel annoyed and threatened until no place on earth seemed safe for them. - '.,' v-v . A '.few merchants who were bolder than the rest of their clan threatened to expose the gangs to the police. Their threats were answered with murder. In cold blood the gangsters: slew these rebels among their victims. Such terror have the desperadoes spread among the people In these districts in New York that -no one dared to testify against them, so that when a member of such a gang fell into the clutches of the police he had to be set free because there was no one to prosecute htmv 1&.'kx-?-w According to dispatches ; from ' New York, the merchants 1n the gang ruled districts have bow united Into a. strong organisation and propose war, upon these blackmailers and murderers. The fight on "the youthful had men Is not a problem of New Tork alone. It is a problem of Chicago as well. It is a problem . of every big city. In New Tork gangsters blackmail small ' mer- ohanis. In Chicago they take to auto mobile robberies. . A curious fact about these youthful bandits everywhere is X that they are nearly all "graduates" from corrective .Institutions ' to which they had been sent In their boyhood to reform and straighten up, - - " - Nearly all the large cities In America have In the hut few years been worry, tng much about, the girl who. goes wrong. : There is no denying that the woman of the i underworld is a big problem. Without. tt all detracting, however, from . th e . seriousness of the girl problem, it is about time -parents as Well aa reformers wiked up to the even more serious , boy problem. . , The girl who goes wrong pays with her hap piness, and even life, for her misdeeds. Ehe alone . suffers. 'The boy who : be comes a gangster rune a good chance of never being apprehended. It Is the com munity that suffers most. While the morals court In Chicago and the bight court In New ,,Tork are' packed r with women, of the underworld daily and nightly, and punishment la meted out to them, the gangster .er.d desperadoes who get into the meshes of the law are few end far between. The boy problem, too. Is at the bot tom of the girl problem. The boy gang' ster is often also a panderer. a white slaver. , Blackmail la only one of his sources of revenue. v The weeding out of gangs and gang sters must begin ' with constructive training of the boy..
