NTATIVE Alaska Newspapers, 1411 tle, Wash, DELINQUENT GIRLS Tt is no particular secret that juvenile delinquency more serious among young girls than among pung although bad enough in either case The number of young girls under 21 arrested last year in the United States represented an increase of more 130 per cent over the figure of such arrests for the year 1941. We have not the tabulations at hand, but it is safe enough to say that the greater part of this increase is comprised of arrests for sex offenses of one character of another. In New York the other day Chief Justice Bayes of the Court of Svecial Sessions reported an increase of 30 per cent n the number of pregnant and unmarried girls under 20 cared for by the Florence Crittenton League, and is far boys- than asserted that more than half of the girls are under 16.

The disorder is, so to speak, “in the air nd few can have failed to notice the symptoms that occur on every hand The young and the emotionally immature are, of course, the most easily infected This is why all the solutions proposed for the problem of juvenile delinquency are ineffectual, for none of them is or can be sufficiently radical. Never- theless, it is all the more necessary that those who have some influence in the matter, and among these we might mention editors, advertisers and entertain- ers, refrain from adding any further stimuli to those existing in the nature of things. correct in time of war, every on in ln\lde the I ortress (Cincinnati Enquirer) An American and a British newspaperman have been flown well within the walls of the European fomtress of Adolf Hitler. They have traveled here and there on highways which aren't controlled at all by the Germans, and they have ridden on rail lines as free from Nazi influence as the rail lines of southern Italy. All this took place within those parts of Yugo- slavia which have been liberated by the remarkable military action of Tito, Marshal Josip Broz, the patriot commander in chief. One of the two writers declared that the districts he visited were “liberated enough” to suit him! The entire operation of the Yugoslav armies have been almost out of the realm of reality. With Ger-/ mans to the right of them, the left, the north and the south, they have carried on a campaign so suc- cessful that it has liberated almost one-half of their native land. This in spite of stringent countercam- paigns carried on by some of the best German troops. | How Tito has been able to solve his problems of | suppiy never will be told until the war is over. The |- tale will be a lurid and exciting one. To meet the opposition which Hitler has sent against him, Tito must have had good artillery, tanks, some air power, | abundant small arms and ammunition. He must have had transport facilities, including trucks, gasoline, | oil. He must have had food and clothing for his men —which are said to number well over 100,000. It is not possible that his country could supply these needs. Captured German material filled many of the gaps, but the Yugoslavs could not have been dependent | upon captured goods. They must have brought con- | siderable guantities ‘from the outside. If Europe has' been as closely guarded as we have been led wl believe, how could this have been accomplished? We're only asking.
