(Copyright. 1937. by United Pre)
CHICAGO (UP) No more Impor
tant problem confronts us today than
the serious problem of youth In
crime.
The coat of crime In the United
States has reached gigantic figures
In dollars, if we attempt to com
pute the cost In human values. In
the wreckage of lives. In innocent
.Tlctlms, in the blighted future of
felons. In human material loot and
wasted, we will find It Impossible
to state the cost to the Individual,
to the family or to society.
A tragic development of our day
Is reflected , in the fact that more
than half the Inmates of reforma
tories and prisons are between the
ages of 15 and 25. Dividing our prison
population into two-year age groups,
the largest of all Is that of young
men and women 19 to 20.
On the calloused professional
criminal on trial In the criminal
court, none would waste sympathy.
A different reaction oocurs to the
picture, sorrowful and pitiful, of
the youthful offender at the bar
of justiceto the tragic scenes of
boys and glrla who go through my
offlos as state's attorney every day

To Auction Ship Buried
With Riches Since 1 790
PARIS (UP) The armed brig
Telemaque, which sank 150 years ago
In the Seine estuary, allegedly with
25,000,00 worth of treasures aboard,
Is to be put up at auction.
That decision was taken by the
French government following repeat
ed demands to search for what Is
considered to be the most valuable
wreck lost at sea.
The Telemaque's treasure was
brought together by Louis XVI
who, foreseeing the coming of the
French revolution, had nearly all of
the most precious ornaments In his
posesslan secretly embarked on the
brig. The treasure Is supposed to in
clude Marie Antoinette's famous 8.
000.000 necklace and tl2.000.000 In
gold out of Louis VXI's personal for
tune. It also Includes sacred orna
ments which were assembled in the
Rouen cathedral and stiver objects
of the abbeys of Jumleges and Saint
Martin de Boscliervlle.
On Jan. 1, 1790. Adrien Quentln,
the Telemaque's captain, was offered
a large sum of money to transport to
London what he thought were barrets
of tar. According to the story, he
was not aware of the value of the
cargo entrusted to him. He set sail
at Rouen and started down the river
Seine. He was obliged to tie up and
Cook county to be started on their
way to Jail.
Calls Picture Appalling
Automobile thieves, robbers, burg
lars, rapists, felons, murderers, be
fore they axe old enough to vote
an appalling picture to contemplate.
The "young punk." as the police
call the youthful offender, la not
only, a sad and tragic phenomenon
of our time, but is such a serious
problem that attention must be fo
cused upon him without delay. He
is a, product of the broken home, the
poverty stricken family, the lack of
moral training, the Indifference and
selfishness of parents.
He Is a product, if not a victim,
of heredity and environment. The
development of character In the
youth of our country Is fundamental
ly the responsibility of the home, the
school, the church.
Young criminals, the "punks,''
learn too late that the supposed
glamour and romance in crime are
wholly false they learn too late that
there is more excitement and adven
ture in clean games and sports. -
- Cases Follow Pattern
What happens before a boy or girl
la brought Into court charged with
a aerloua crime? Most of their his
tories are monotonously the same.
First there Is a small robbery or
a misdemeanor. Nothing happens
to them and they try something
else, only something to give them
extra pocket money. Gradually they
Join others In more serious crimes.
Finally, they are caught and It Is
too late to save them. When they
come from prison. In spite of every
effort, they may be hardened crim
inals. Last year 8.715 persons were com
mitted to the Cook county Jail. Near
ly 4,000 of these were under 30. More
than 1,600 were under 21. A regret
tably large percentage were between
17 and 23. -
Were It possible, I would bring
every third and fourth year male
high school student Into court once
or twice a year during the progress
of a criminal trial. There would be
demonstrated to them the cost of
crime not in dollars and cents but
in human suffering and wrecked
Uvea.
Answers Objections
Some parents may ' rebel at the
thought of their sons and daughters
being potential criminals, and might
be resentful If they were invited to
attend criminal trials. These parents
might well be confronted with crim
inal statistics which disclose that
Fact No. 4
The first London coffee house
vas opened in 1650. The bever
ge was introduced in Germany
m 1670. In 1671 Parisian cof
fee houses were opened The use
if the beverage in coffee houses
ipread rapidly throughout the
Old World. Many notables fre
quented these coffee houses such
u Voltaire, Napoleon, Victor
Hugo, Danton and Rossini. In
London Daniel Defoe, whose
"Robinson Crusoe" was the pre
cursor of the English novel, was
often seen mixing with other
English notables. During the
18th century the use of coffee as
a beverage had become uni
versal. or Tin
wait, upon arriving at the estuary,
as the tide was unfavorable. At mid
nightr a violent storm broke and tore
the ship from Its moorings. The
captain had only sufflcent time to
save his life and that of his 10 sail
ors. How deep the ship lies embedded In
the soft sand today, Is not known.
That is the risk on which the bid
ders will be obliged to base their of
fers. What la put up for auction Is
actually a permit to search for the
treasure with a condition that the
state will reserve the right to one
third of the value recovered.
Thus far. three attempts have
been made and the position of the
wreck has been ascertained fairly ac
curately. The first attempt was made
by the government In 1818. but the
wreck was not found. A second was
made In 1937 by Magny, an engineer,
who found the site of the wreck, but
only succeeded in refloating a few
boards, spending (16,000 doing it.
A third and equally unsucessful at
tempt was made a few years ago. In
1935. a salvage firm asked for per
mission to work on the wreck. This
request, however, led to others, and
to be fair the authorises decided to
auction the salvage rights. The bid
ding Is scheduled to take place some
time in June.
many criminals come from good
homes homes where they have had
the advantages of loving parental
care, comfort, education and ample
spending money.
We have demonstrated In Chicago
that the predatory youthful gangs
can be broken up; and that the
"Fagins" who would teach our youth
the steps In crime oan be Jailed
where they cannot carry on their
nefarious activities.
I am firmly of the opinion that
with the vigorous leadership of our
law enforcing officials, plua the co
operation of a citizenry aroused to
the seriousness of this problem, the
crimes of youth can be minimized
and the "young punk" eliminated.

an attack on Fort Lewis, protected
by an enemy existing only In the
minds of the general staff.
The 7,500 troops of the division
Hated on the maneuver plans as the

across the river on hastily construct
ed pontoon bridges, protected by an
advance guard which had "fought"
its way through the stream under
cover of darkness and by a vicious
barrage from the heavy guns of the
9th and 10th field artillery.
Today's maneuver was the second
phase of the corps area commander's
inspection and the finale of a month
long intensive training for all troops
