BECAUSE OF HOME
Startling Assertion of
Superintendent of the
Florence Crittenton
Mission in New ork
MINDS POLLUTED
IN CHILDHOOD
Formulated in Home Loug
Before Application Is Made in
Legislative Halls to Remedy Evils
Prevalent in Many American Cities
By Atsvaalcd Press.
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 9.—More
girls go wrong because of home condi
tions than for any other reason, es
corted Miss Margaret E. Luther, super
intendent of the Florence Crittenton
Home, New York City, -in an address
before the International Purity Con
gress here to-day.
Miss Luther, who spoke on "The
Girls Who (io Through the New York
< ourts," pointed out that most of t!io
£iris with whom the courts have to
ileal arc not more than IS years old.
"Statistics show that the large
number of girls who go wrong are not
alone in the world," she said. "Nor
are they all wage earners. Girls come
to us from all stations and all condi
tions of life. In must of the cases the
minds are polluted in early childhood.
Home conditions are responsible. Out
of 150 girls recently brought before
the New York women's night court,
259 were not more than IS years old,
L while 116 of them were onlv 16 years
I old."
ft Stories of locked doors and barred
■ windows in connection with white
'V.siavery, are largely imaginary, accord
ing to Miss Luther.
\ "The men who live on eominercial
aoed vice arc the men you see standing
op the street corners," she continued.
' ''Their victims are usually silly little
giils thev win bv wiles. And the girl
such a man can enslave soul, mind and
body, is worse than any physical slave.
"A .iudae recently told ine that 90
per cent, of the men lie ha 1 sentenced
for white slavery, were less than 22
years old. Home conditions arc respon
sible for this situation.
"Some people are inclined to say
that if we had better laws we would
"have better living and better home
conditions. Character is formed in the
ihonie long before man goes to legisla
tive halls fo make laws; and the home
• makes the man who makes the laws.
.'Speaking for New York, I do not be
lieve it would be possible to have bet
ter or stronger laws. The tiring we
Vjieed is workers —persons who make a
specialty of fighting commercialized
vice."

ALLEGED "M'BRIOE" OSED
ANOTHER'SNMEFOR YEARS
Former Harrisburger. iu Philadelphia
Hospital From Pistol Wounds, Is
Charged With Working Under Di-;
ploma Stolen in Palm Beach
Philadelphia, Nov. 9.—Detectives;
here yesterday disclosed a remarkable J
story of a man who for years has been
practicing dentistry in Pittsburgh and!
Harrisburg under the name and di- j
ploma of another man, and even had
married under his victim's name.
The person whom the detectives ac
cuse of the duplicity has been posing
as C. Calvin Mi' Bride. He now is in the
Jefferson Hospital, recovering from a
bullet wound received at the hand of
Dr. Silas 0. Hertz, an aged physician,
in the latter s ofiiee, at 1113 Chestnut
street. The shooting occurred on the
night of October 26.
The impostor, who real name is be
lieved to be Harrison, not only prac
ticed his profession under the borrowed
name and diploma, according to the do
teefives, but was married aud hud a
child born to him under the name of
Mcßride. His wife and child are liv
ing in Harrisburg. where hp conducted
a successful practice for years.
Newspaper stories relatiug to the
shooting resulted in the disclosures. On
the night of October 26 the man who
|>osed as Meßridc went to Or. Hertz's
office and got into an argument with
the physician over questions of anat
omy. I)r. Hertz, who is 72 vears old,
picked up an old brass-barrel revolver
which had not been discharged for
more than half a century and fired at
the man.
Seriously wounded. "Mi-Bride" stag
• gered to the street, where a policeman
i found him and took horn to the hos
| pital. He is recovering, and expects to
ibe discharged within a few days.
In the meantime. Dr. Calvin Mr
| Bride, a graduate of the University of
j Pennsylvania dental college nod a prac
j ticing student, of Thirty-fourth street
i and Broadway New York, read an a -
j count of the shooting. Attracted by the
j similarity of his name r.ith that of the
! victim of the shooting Dr. Meßridc re
| inembered that his dental diploma had
been stolen at Palm Beach. Fla., in
! IS9S.
Dr. Meßridc got in touch with De
tective Emanuel, ol the t ity Hall force,
and yesterday the New York dentist
came to this city. He went to the hos
pital and confronted the wounded man
on his cot.
According to Detective Emanuel, the
pseudo-Mcßride acknowledged that he
had been using the real Dr. Mcßride's
diploma, first in Pittsburgh and later at
10 Market square, Harrisburg. The
name oil the diploma, he said, led him
to take it as his own and he was mar
ried as Meßridc, and has a son which
bears the same name.
The diploma, lie said, is in the hands
of a man named Ewing in Pittsburgh.
He gave it to Ewing as security for a
?10 loan.
The day after the shooting police
here received a message from York, Pa.,
asking that "Mcßride" be held after
his discharge from the hospital. He
is accused to passing two bogus checks,
one for $lO and another for sls. by <
I - .. ZiMting, ;i York lawyer. York au
thorities, who had been looking for him.
learned of his whereabouts when the
newspapers published the story of tho
shooting.
Harrisburg police, who declare the
man hail st good practice in that city
as "Dr. Meßridc,'' say his wife there
had heard nothing from her husband for
several months prior to the shooting
and that she had an action for divorce
pending.

Bridc" penetrated the left cheek and
lodged in his head. It was located by
the X-rays. Dr. Hertz, his assailant, and
his brother. Dr. Eiaui A. Hertz, a den
tist. who was in the office when the
shootng occurred, are being held in

GERMANS POUND FRENCH
WITHOUT. APPARENTLY,
00INC VERY MUCH DAMAGE
Pari*. Nov. 9, ltrti A. M.—A gener
al battle lias been•»#.progress a.ong the
• whole front from the sea to the Vosge*
1 mountains for the past three days with
out the Germans having been able to
I find a weak spot iu the French defenses.
Howevar. ii still is in Flanders that
interest in the formidable and seeming
ly interminable battle centers. The Ger
mans are concentrating there all the
men they can get and ceaselessly are
hurling them aga'nsr the allies lines.
Never ha« this method been directed
wit'h as much tenacity and fury as now.
Attacks on Ypres More Violent
The attaciks on the line from Ypres
to ttoe Lys are more violent even t'han
those directed against the coast roads
and the passages of the Yser. It is the
British who bear the brunt of llhese on
slaughts. In many places their lines
have become so thin, sa.vs an officer
n'no has been in that region during the
past fortnight, t'hat only by showing
obstinacy worthy of tihe traditions of
Waterloo are they able to hold thciir
ground. Their losses in officers have
been terrilble. One battalion of foot
guards went into action commanded 'by
a non-commissioned officer. Certain cav
alry regiments have lost their effective
strength.
Germans Surprise Their Enemy
Occasionally, according to this of
ficer, tike Germans by surprise capture
some of their tren.hes. but 'by vigorous
counter attacks the British not only re
gain these, but fresh ground. The In
dian troops continue to bear themselves
magnificently deapite enormous losses.
T'hey "have proved themselves the equal
of any other troops both in defending
the tren'.-hes or in attacking positions.
Compared with the German losses
this officer continue?, those of the al
lies appeal nlairat insignificant. After
a night attack 600 German 'cad, he
said, often are found before a single

SURRENDER OF TSINC-TAU
TO JAP-BRITISH FORCES
Washington, Nov. 9.—The German i
garrison at Tsing-Tau is to be formally I
surrendered to the investing allied ;
force of Japanese and British to-day,'
according to State Department advices. I
Germans taken jurisoners heretofore by j
tho Japanese, mostly from naval prizes,;
have been well eared for and have |
been paroled.
The department has no confirmation j
of a report that a good part of the j
German garrison escaped, but it is i
pointed out that it would be compara- i
tively easy for them to make their ]
way, with Gorman pilots, through the
mine fields which have kept off the
Japanese cruisers to Chinese territory.
It is possible that some of tho troops
may have been able to make theiT way
overland through gaps in the investing
lines to Shantung. All of such refu
gees must foe interned until the end of
She war, if China is to avoid comple
tions with Japan.

ed tbe w»r between Prussia aud Aus
tria in IStMJ Is known among tbe Ger
mans as tbe battle of Sadowa. but tbe
Austrians call It the battlj of Koeuij;
graetz. In the war of lb 10, between
Germany and Prance. the great en
gageinent that tbe Germans call tbe
battle of GraveloLte is spoken of by
the I'rencb as the battle of St. Prlvai.
The same thing was common In our
civil war. The battle that Is known tn
the north as tbe battle of Bull Run
would not be recognized by most south
erners undee that name. In the eolith
It Is invariably called tbe buttle of
Manassas. So the battle that the Keel
ernl generals called the battle of Pitt*
burg Landing was by the Confederates
called the battle of Sbiloli. Antielitm
is called In the south the battle uT
Sharpsburg. Xlie writer, a southerner,
whose father was a Confederate ofli
eer, was twenty years old before he
ever heard of the battle of Antietam.
although he was familiar with all the
details of the battle of Sbarpsburg.
The reason for this is that the op
posing armies always name tbe battle
from some prominent geographical
landmark, aud as they look at tbe field
from different points of view they nat
urally settle on different names. Thus,
at Waterloo, the battle took Us Eng
lish name from the little village where
Wellington made his final hcadquar
tera and whence be sent to Vnglaud
the first dispatch that announced bin
victory. So in 18t>6 the headquarters
of the Prussian army was near the vil
lage of Sadowa, whereas that of the
Austrian* was near the village of Koe
nlggraetE. At Gravelotte tbe little vil
lage of that name was an Important
point In tbe German lines. On tbe side
of tbe French tbe hamlet of St. Prlvat
was the key to their battle formation.
As long as they held that they were
invincible, but when the Germans as
sailed it in the rear and drove them
out the day was iost.—Youth's Com

OUR MEDAL OF HONOR.
More Difficult to Win Than Any For
eign Military Decoration.
Americans of average information
know about the Victoria Cross, the
Iron Cross, the Cross of the Legion of
Honor. These are rewards of hern
ism which would mark a man above
his fellows even in this foreign land
But many Americans know what
a mednl of honor is?
How many Americans know that tin*
modest American soldiers who wear
the medal of honor wear a decoration
that is among the rarest and most difii
cult to win among military honors?
The Cross of the Legion of Honor,
established b.v Napoleon in ISO-, wbil»
founded to signalize deeds of special
daring in war. was after given freely
for civil distinctions. Nearly 40,00:>
German soldiers were decorated witti
the Iron Cross in the seven months of
the Franco-Prussian war. while in tho
more than half century since the crea
tion of our honor roll only 3,088 have
been granted, and of these nearly 90<!
were given under a mistaken reading
of the law.
The holder of the modal of honor
must have "dititinguished himself con
spicuously by gallantry and Intrepidity,
at the risk of his life, beyond the call
of duty." This standard, which bar*
out action, however brave. In the
course of duty and includes only acts
of daring which a man might refuse
or avoid without rebuke is said to be
unequaled.—Chicago Tribune.
