BOY OF 19, SLAVE
OF DRUGS, SEEKS
TO BEGIN NEW LIFE
Tells Amazing Story of the
Ease With Which He
Was Able to Buy Nerve
Destroying Substances.
Twenty-four hours out of n pol'op cell,
a boy of 19, pale, thin nlid hardly nhle to
drns one foot after the other, told toda
how he took to using cocaine and heroin
and what the drugs have done to him In
the two years he has been their victim
William Schaffer, DJ2 Olive street, is the
boy. Ho was arrested as a tllsordeilv
character. Magistrate Tracy, at the
Eleventh and Winter streets station, gave
him his freedom ycslcrdav Today he be
gins his fight against the drugs.
Schaffcr Is a flaxen-haired youth who
was fairly sturdy In (he day before he
began experimenting with hetoln. He
weighed about 110 PouhiIb then. Toda
his weight Is down to 110 and the clothe-"
ho wears arc sizes too large, tinmen on,-p
they nttod him. Ills head hangs vvenU.v
and ho has trouble walking more than a
few steps.
Bchaffcr has been treated twk for the
drug habit. Onco It was in the House of
Correction, where ho Breved thtee months
after stealing from a department store to
Ket money for tho drugs, A month ago
h 'was discharged as ctued from the
Philadelphia Hospital.
"But you can't keep away from It
around here," Schaffcr explained, as he
told his story "I kept away from the
drugs two weeks and then two men held
omo heroin before me. I've been pietty
bad since then."
His being "pretty bad" resulted In an
attack of heart failure, which caused his
arrest. When Patrolman Mclvenna. of
the Eleventh and Winter streets station,
found that Schaffer was not diunk, the
boy was sent to the Hahnemann Hos
pital and then back to the pollcu station.
"I had a close call, ' said Schaffer. "I
was filled with heroin and cocaine all day
and a convulsion got me. That's the way
they all die," he added, shaking his head.
Schaffer can cleur up the mstery that
aurrounds the niumng of l'-i ear-old co
caine fiends.
"Hard to get cocaine? Well, I should
ay not'" ho exclaimed. "1 never had
any troublo buying all 1 wanted when I
had the money. Did they mind selling to
a boy? They did not. 1 could show ,vou
a good many drug stores where jou can
buy it now. But most of It comes from
the cocaine peddlers.
"I started taking drugs just about two
years ago. I used to stay around a pool
room at Eighth and Vine street. The
fellows In there asked me 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."
The only times since then that tho
Schaffer boy has lived without drugs have
been the periods Just following his re
lease from hoipltals.
"I worked for some chemists at Eighth
and Callowhlll streets when I first beenn
' using the stutt," Schaffer went on. "But
rT Cft'ildn't hold on long after the habit
TfSme. I started taking one tablet of
one-sixth of a grain a day. Saturday I
took 35 tablets
"Of course. 1 didn't always have money
to btn heroin. I used to steal thing? from
department stores w hen I needed money.
Once you get the habit you enn't go more
than three or four hours without heroin.
"I used to take little things from tho
counters and I never got caught. But
last march I picked up some jewelry and
they caught mo out on the sidewalk."
Schaffer was sentenc-d to three months
In the Hou'e of Correction for that. He
was released on June S and then got work
n a mechanic.
"I was getting along all right." said
Bchaffer. "I didn't go with the old crowd
and I thought I had won.
"But one nlcht down at Eighth and
Vine streets I met a fellow named Hart
man. He held some heroin under -nv
nose and than 1 lust had to buy It. Thev
ell two tablets for a nlckl Since then
T have been taking 23 or 30 tablets a
day."
Schaffcr sayi he has taken heroin for
tho last. "I'm scared," he declared. "I
know what happens and they oil die when
they get like I am. I'm going to stop."
Schaffer thinks getting out of tho citv
to a farm Is the best way to keep from
U'lng more drugs.
"But what chance have I got"" he
;ked "t don't know nhero I can bo
Sure. I know lots of other young fallows
who are taking drugs. How old are the
Oh, 16 and i, and some younger. Any
one can buy the stuff If they know wheie !

TALKS OF WAR AS IT

Doctor Levin, Here to Raise

LEON OSNAS
He is a cousin of Israel Kretchmer,
321 Reed street, and was recently ad

Holy Order of St. George for bravery
in battle. He is the first Jew to be so

Jew to be so unnoted
Regardless of his cousin's Nihilistic
principles and former activity against the
Government, accordlns to Kictohmer,
who told the story today, usnas was
admitted to the Holy Order by no less
a pirson than the Czar himself. IJo was
decorated following tho Utile Futlur'a
manifesto to "My Beloved Jews." The
action In which Osnns distinguished him
srlf took plate In the East Prussian cam
paign. Kretchmer said today that his cousin
Is only J.", jenrs old, and has the record
of at one time being one of the fore
most Nihilists in Russia. Ills home Is
In tho illy of Vilna. Six years ago he'
was arrested for having in his possession
what the Russian Government consid
ered to be Improper literature. For this
ho vv is sentenced to eerve a term In tho
Tourma. in Vllna.

Dr. Shmnryahu licvln. member of tho
First Russian Douma nnd n leading Zion
ist, Is In Germany, mid who was stranded
m this country, Is here nnd will be tho
principal speaker tonight, nt a mast meet
ing arranged by the Zionists for the pur
pose of raiding a fund for the Jews in
Palestine, who are suffering starvation as
a result of the Eutopcnn war.
Oscar Straus Is the Initiator of the
movement to raise $230,000, and Louis D.
Hrnndels, tho noted Boston lawyer. Is the
ihiiiimnn of the N'ntlonal Committee. The
latter also will bo bote tonight to addtess
the mass meeting In Musical Fund Hall.
Ir. Solomon Foils Cohen will bo chair
man of the meeting, nnd many of tho
most piomlncnt Jews In the city arc ex
ceiled to nttelid nnd contribute.
This Is the first of n seiles of meetings
hat will be held In the leading cities of
America where the attitude f the Jews
toward the war will be discussed.
' I do not care to discuss the question
as to who Is right and who Is wrung In
this wnr," said Dr. Levin. "Nor do t
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
take Into consideration tho power of the
w oi Id's opinion. You mny go contrary
to it In times of peace but when a catas
trophe comes, one hecomes more pliant,
because tho entlio world sits In Judg
ment, and history may come to collect
old debts,
"As an example we see that even the
Russian Government has suddenly be
come sensitive and alive to the fact that
Jewish soldiers nre sacrificing their lives
In this war. This war was necessary In
order to open Its eyes to -ee that seven
million Jews In Its domain" nre also
human beings. At piesent, however, the
Russian Government Is making only
promises, nnd theo under a 'blind ad
dress.' She has them announced through
anonjmous source" In Copenhagen. Hut
this Is characteristic of wal times. Even
the great bear has bestirred itself and
begun to heed public opinion."
Speaking of tho attitude of the Jews
throughout the world to tho war, he
said-
"But as the Jows arc scattered through
out the world, and they must fight
brother against biother. It Is quite haid
to apportion their sympathies. It is al
most commendahlo that Germany Is not
angered with the Russian Jew Ish sol
diers, and Rus-tla with Its German and
Austrian Jewish 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 cause.
"It appears strange that nt this tlmi
there Is no united Jewish public opinion
on the present war. The Jewish -opinion
is greatly scattered because the Jewish
nation Is. scattered."
Dr. tavin also spoko of the terrible
conditions In Palestine as a result of the
war. Palestine is dependent for its, ex
istence upon tho rest of the woild. And
when the lest of the world is at wnr
there Is nothing left for the Jews In
Palestine except starvation.

ALLIES DRAW LINES
ABOUT GERMANS IN
ARGONNE FOREST
Hemmed in On Three Sides
by Belgians, French and
British, Retreat Lies Across
Difficult Country.
LONDON, Sept. 11.
Hemmed In on three sides of the dis
trict known ns tho forest of Argonnc,
a German army Is today In a sellout
predicament and awaits either capture or
destruction.
On their front are tho victorious squntl
lons of nrltlsh cavalry, to their left, on
the east, are tho strong forts of Vet dun,
with their formidable garrisons, while on
their right to the west are the rapidly
approaching army of Belgians. Only
to the rear lies safety, and the nature of
the country is such that a rapid retreat
means a virtual tout,
The only source of supplies for this
aimy la their bnse of I. lege and should
the Belgians appear In sulllcletit foice
even this thin lino of communication will
he broken.
The lo.ss of the line of communica
tion will probably apply to the German
army In a day or two's time. When It
does apply the German reticat wilt haio
become .i disaster greater than Leipzig.
Kveiv ofllclal leport goes to show how
otind ) General .loffie's plan of leading
Ihe invasion further and further away
from their base.
The German arm.v In France will he
obliged to communk'iit"' with its base
through Nnmui and I.U-ge mid the Mctmc
and across Luxemburg. There will then
be danger of Inextrlralilo dlorder, as
the German army from Helglum nnd
tho German army from tho Olso Val
ley will bo obliged to converge on tho
same men nnd may be obliged to pass
throiigh tho neck of a bottle In noith
Franco while being attacked from nil
sides
Their rapid retreat shows the Germans
wero unable to bring up reserves In suffi
cient numbers All this Is borne out by
jcslerdny'p communique referring to the
general retreat between tho Olso and tha
Mamo and Argonnc.
AMERICAN NOTE IN STYLES
