Despite demands of many Mexi- cans, Gen, Funston this afternoon flatty declined to order the arrest of Urrutia, He held that the former cabinet official had committed no crime against the United States and that it was not within his province to interfere in political charges. Ur- rutia was still granted protection of *Amertoan forces against threats by his fellow countrymen, ,Antonio Rivero de la Torre, editor of El Diotamen and leader of the demonstration against Dr. Urrutia, will be released from custody to-day.

MADE A SLAVE “If Slavery Exists in the- American Family To-Day, Parents, Not Children, Are the Victims,” De- clares Mrs. Harry Hastings, Who Has Made a Study of the Subject. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Children are slaves! There you have the very latest battle cry of that Knight of tha Pricking Paragraph, George Bernard Shaw. tournament the future holds for us I don't know. But I do know how extraordinarily some of us will miss those flaring challenges, those full-tilt, brain-stinging assaults of G. B. S., jester, jouster and most alive mind in modern England. “py But oyez, oyez! “Our practice is to treat a child as if it were the property of its immediate physical parents,” he writes. “They are allowed to do what they like with it. no rights nor liberties; its condition is that which whoa ny Rreoconih, adults recognize as the most miserable and dangerous What sort of sociological Mr. Shaw's charge for the children. It has possible for themselves, politically—namely, the condition of slavery. “Many children are hopelessly warped and wasted by parents ignorant and silly enough to suppose they know what a human being ought to be. Every child has a right to its own bent—has a right to be a Plymou‘h Brother, though its parents be convinced atheists.” Now, according to all the evidence of blography and fiction, the English parent, as a parent, is a particularly disagreeable specimen, from the days of Milton down. Mr. Shaw tn, of course, thinking primarily of the Eng- lsh parent and his victim, the Eng- lish child, But have the authc marks any more general application? For instance, are American children slaves? WOMAN OF EXPERIENCE ASKED ABOUT IT. I have my own definite theory on this point, but I decided to consult authority based on plenty of actual experience, Therefore, T called on Mrs. Harry Hastings, for four years president of the New York City Moth- ers’ Club, a director of the National Mothers’ Association, a prominent member of the National Child Wel- fare Association, last-—~emphatically arm a grandmother into the bargain. “Are American children slaves?” I asked her. “If slavery exis! can family to-day, parent not children are the victim responded dryly. “Children who are lawless or children who priggish are easy to find, but not children who are slaver. “Never before in the history of the world has the child been so far from servitude as he Is at present, Not so long ago ench child in a family was frankly counted as an econom'c asset, an addition to the material wealth of the father, Now there | incessant warfare against the slightest forms of child labor, and the age at which parents are permitted to put ado- lescents to work is steadily on the increase. “The whole world devotes Itself to doing things for the physical and mental welfare of the child, and for {ts pleasure as well, The school sya- tema are more remarkable than ever, and the new plan is to make schooling conform to the child's desires, instead of making him adjust himself to the instruction offered. EVERYTHING IS DONE FOR THE CHILDREN. “Then there are special lectures for children; concerts are arranged for children; plays are written, staged, performed for children; whole sec- tions of public libraries are given over to children. ‘Their recreation Is planned and supervised almost as carefully as thelr working hours, Trained men and women find thelr life-work in the study of the food, clothing or exercise best adapted to children, “Parents are as deeply involved any one else, Fathers and mothers skimp and gave, twist and turn, in order that thelz small sons and daughters may have as mAny of the luxuries of life as possible, With few ment. not least--the mother of six children | duties or responsibilities, the privi- leges ana pleasures of the young are far beyond what they ever were be- fore, “A child in New Vork at the present moment ought to be the happiest person in the world.

Isn't there the danger, in all this serv- ing and study and analysis, that they may become"— “Pri she supplied, with convic- tion. “There is real danger of such a result. Of course every parent worthy of the name surrounds his children with loving, watchful care, but If he is wise he acts so quietly that the lit- tle ones are not made self-consciou A child should on no account be al lowed to feel that he is the most im- portant thing in the world—even if we do think so in our hearts, “I believe that we might return with advantage to some of the old standards of fai life. 1 think children should be taught to recognize in their father and mother fixed and absolute author- ity. A parent shouldn't consider it necessary everytime he asks a child to do anything to explain the reason for his request. Ob: dience for the sake of obedience is @ cardinal principle of child- hood, and contains a valuable lesson for after life.” I reminded Mrs. Hastings of the stock story lmparted to me in younger days as a beautiful ilustration of tm- plicit obedience.

We are compelled to develop other characteristics besides our indi- viduality, and the sooner we begin the better. ‘Therefore, children should learn to be courteous, unselfish, help- ful.

Not a single message has been re- ceived from correspondents at the front since early yetserday. the battle of Torreon was ordered, Gen, Villa instructed his censors to hold up all press matter until the fighting ceased. He Is believed to be following the same tactics now. The last news from the front re- ported advancing Constitutionaliats sweeping In the Federal outposts, with almost hourly skirmishing.

Mra, Henry Rump, aemuming a wifely duty not entirely unknown to wives who willingly share the burden of reading their husband's corre- spondence, opened a little envelope that the postman brought, It stmply showed that Henry Rump was in- | debted to his own firm for $63 worth | of fancy fruit. Although it did seem strange that her husband should receive a dun from his own firm, Mrs, Rump was reminded that friction had arisen be- tween her husband and Charles Rump, President of tho firm, which has a big fancy fruit stall at No. 826 Washington street. Mra. Rump looked the bill over and two items caught her eye, one being for two baskets of fancy fruit shipped to Miss Arna Deck, and the other he~ Ing for four baskets of very fancy frult shipped to the Hotel Marlborough, Even with extemled explanations from Mr. Rump, the matter was not quite clear to Mrs, Rump. Hoe told her that the bill was a piece of spite work on the part of Charles Rump. To be sure Mr. Rump might have) known Miss Deck, Wasn't she a danseuse who tangoed in public? But [he never sent any fancy fruit to her, he was certain of that. Mrs. Rump would not be sutistied with him until he sought retribution. And H.
