Twenty-four houra out of a potlco cell, a toy of 1. Pale, thin anl hardly able to , uK one foot after the other, told today ),ow he took to uslni? cocaine and heroin nd what the drug have done to him In the Iwo yeara.he has been their victim. William Schaffer, 822 Olive street, Is the hoy He was arrested as a. disorderly character. Magistrate Tracy, at the Eleventh and Winter streets station, gave him his freedom yesterany. ouuy .., -Klns his light against tho drugs. chaffer Is a flaxen-hnlred youth who n fairly sturdy In the dayB before ho began experimenting with heroin. Ho weighed about HO pounds then. Today ills weight Is down to 120 and tho clothes he wears are sizes too large, though once they ntted him. His head hangs weakly and he has trouble walking moro than a few steps. Schaffer has been treated twice for tho drug habit. Onco It was In tho House of ri i pctlon. where he sreved three month nfter stealing from a department store to get money for the drugs. A month ngo he was discharged as cured from the mlladelphla Hospital. "But ou can't keep away from It .around here," Schaffer explained, as he told his stoo. "I kept away from the i drugs two weeks nnd then two men Held gome heroin before me. I've been pretty bad since then." His being "pietty bad" resulted In an attack of heart failure, which caused his arrest. When Patrolman MoKonna, of the Eleventh nnd Winter streets Btatlon, found that Schafter was not drunk, tho boy was sent to tho Hahnemann Hos pital and then back to tho police station. "J had a close call," said Schaffer. "I was filled with heroin and cocalno all day and a convulsion got me. That's the way they all die," he added, shaking his head. Scharter can clear up me mHiery inai surrounds the making of 17-ye.ir-old co caine fiends. "Hard to get cocaine? Well, I should say not'' he exclaimed. "I never had any trouble buying all I wanted when I had the money. Did they mind selling to a boy? They did not. I could show you a good many drug stores where you can buy It now. But most of It comes from the cocaine peddlers. "J started taking drugs Just about two y fiats ago I used to stay around a pool room at Eighth and Vine streets. Tho fellows In there asked mo If I didn't want to try some heroin. So I did. I took it every day for a month and then I thought I'd stop. But I couldn't" Tho only limes since then that the Schaffer boy has lived without drugs have been the periods Just following his re lease from hospitals. "1 worked for some chemists at Eighth aiid Callowhlll streets when I first began lifllng the stuff," Schaffer went on. "But 7 couldn't hold on long after the habit fcot Yne. I started taking one tablet of one-sixth of a grain a day, Saturday I took 35 tablets. "Of course, I didn't always have money to buy heroin. I used to steal things from department stores when I needed money. Once you get tho habit you can't go more than three or four hours without heroin. "I used to take little things from the counters and I never got caught. But Inst march I picked up somo Jewelry and they caught mo out on tho lHvnik."

This l the first of a gerlea of meetings that will bo held in the Icadlngr cities of America where the nttltudo of the Jews toward the war will be discussed. "I do not care to discuss the question as to who Is right find who Is wrong In this war," said Dr. Iovln "Nor do I hold that public opinion Is always right. That Is a separate question. What I do wish to point out, however, Is how far the nations are forced, when they find themselves In a dangerous position, to tako Into consideration the power of the world's opinion. You may go contrary to It In times of peace, but when a catas trophe comes, one becomes more pliant, because the cntlro world sits In Judg ment, nnd history may como to collect old debts, "As an example we see that even tho Russian Oovornment has suddenly be come sensitive and alive to the fnct that Jewish soldiers ate sacrificing their lives In this war. This war was necessary In order to open Its eyes to see that seven million Jews In Its domains are also human beings. At present, however, the Russian Government Is making- only promises, and these under a 'blind ad dress.' 8ho has them announced through anonymous sources in Copenhagen. Rut this Is characteristic of war times. Even the great bear hna bestirred Itself and begun to heed publlo opinion." Speaking of the attitude of the oews throughout the world to the war, ho said. "But as the Jews are scattered through out tho world, and they must tight brother against brother, it Is quite hard to apportion their sympathies. It Is nl most commondabto that Germany Is not angered with tho Russian Jewish sol diers, nnd Russia with Its Gorman nnd Austrian Jowlsh soldiers. England, how ever, desires greatly that all Jews who are not taking a definite side In the war should sympathize with England and with England's caUBe. "U appears strange thnt nt this time thero Is no united Jewish public opinion on the present war. The Jewish opinion Is greatly scattered because the Jowlsh nation Is scnttered." Dr. lvln also spoke of the terrible conditions In Palestine as a result of th war. Palestine Is dependent "for Its existence- upon tho rest of the world. And when the rest of the world Is at wnr there Is nothing left for the Jews In Palestine except starvation WHKtKK$z?fl&M'yv'8r "3 mmmm,' 7?N tv rB v'm&JmmmW Wmmm ' 'JaNKmwmmm I REV. ROBERT E. L.
