' New York.--Mr. and Mrs. Prentiss Ortjr of Larchmont and Wilfred W.

They will go directly to Mombasa, East Africa, where the seven months' campaign lb the Jungle will begin. Throughout the several thousand miles of the journey Mrs. Gray will drive a three-quarter ton truck, equipped with a special all steel body, ss a blind for taking night pictures. The truck is fully protected on all sides, and its driving compartment if fitted with nonshatterablc glass. The car is so arranged that Mr. Gray can stand in It and operate two still cameras and two moving picture cameras mounted on the roof and ranched through a trap door. It if equipped with an extra axle for rough 'roads and with four rear wheels, all of them carrying power from the en glne. Balloon tires of much greatei thickness than usual will be used, with • tubes covered by the tough skin of the aland, an African antelope. Oog to Accompany Them. ' Upon arrival at Mombasa the party will be met by Philip Percival, who has organized a group of fifty porters, gun carriers, and native huntsmen. Percival, one of the most famous whit*1 guides of Nairobi, who led the George Bastman and other large expeditions through the African wilds, has pur chased all the food and living equip .ment for the Gray expedition, and with Rags, a favorite Airedale of the Grays, will accompany them through oat the trip. Among the specimens In which the museum is particularly Interested are a variety of rare deer from eastern An gola and Rhodesia. They include Se lous* Sltatunga, the Lechwi water back, Llchtenstein's hartebeest, and the Nakong or Speke's bushbuck. The little known giant sable, an antelope noted for its huge antlers, is the priz< most desired by the explorers. The overland trip, in which Mra. (3ray will drive most of the way, will take them from Mombasa up through Nairobi, then to southern Tanganyika, across Lake Tanganyika to Elizabeth vllle and Klvu, In the Belgian Congo thence to Angola In Portuguese West Africa. : | Will Retrace Steps. r Betnrnlng, the party plans to re trace Its steps across the Belgian Con go to the head waters of the Nile and make its way down that river to Khar toum and Cairo, or will embark on a steamer at Lobetta bay on the coast of Portuguese West Africa for London and New York. During and after the World war Mr Gray was assistant di recto* of the ^commission for relief of Belgium and assistant director of marine trnnspor- ,tation of the food administration under Herbert Hoover. Mrs. Gray was also active in war relief. She received the medal of Queen Elizabeth from King Albert of Belgium for her activities in relieving the suffering of Belgian women and children. In 1917 Mr. Gray was the !»« American to leave Brussels. He remained for a month after Brand Wbitlock, American minister, had left the city, to turn over affairs of Belgian relief to the Dutch and Spanish minis ters.

Marines Washington.--The aerial paymaster !• the rule In Nicaragua where United States marines are scattered through virtually inaccessible territory. The expeditionary forces recently have completed the payment of more than $1,500,000 to marines stationed la outlying districts. In many instances the pay roll for the local con tlngent is dropped from the plane. This is the only way to make certain the marines will be paid promptly. While they do not need much money in outlying districts, the fact that it comes regularly helps materially in maintaining morale and military efficiency. Gliiijtf Murders Conp^tted , J by Children. " V1,. ' .jv!* Paris.--The number of crimes committed by young people in France In the last few months has given rise to serious alarm, since If events continue aa now the prisons will soon be fall of juvenile murderers. Hardly had the padlock been placed on the cell of two boys, one aged twelve and the other thirteen years, who had slain an old woman at Vaucresson, at the gates of Paris, than the newspapers were occupied with a new sensation--a butcher's boy at Fraaconville had battered in the head of an elderly widow, copying exactly the deed of the youths of Vau cresson While alarming enough In themselves, these crimes have stirred French public opinion doubly because they follow upon a sequence of other brutal outrages by young folk, apparently inspired by both blood lost and callousness. Douraud Guillotine. Some months ago, an example was set for other youthful murderers when yonng Douraud's head fell under the guillotine at Caen for the shooting of a French army officer In a train from the Riviera. But instead of striking terror to the boyish heart of France, the crime was imitated soon after by Adolf Steffen, aged eighteen. A student at Paris, he boarded the express train for Nancy one morning and during the journey climbed along the footboard and shot dead the guard la his compartment. After a gruelling examination in jail, Steffen confessed. He is now awaiting trial and it Is almost certain be will follow the youth he imitated up the steps of the scaffold. The fate which will befall the children who committed the Vaucresson crime will be more lenient, although they have shown themselves the most cold blooded of recent murderers. According to their own confession, they mounted by means of a ladder to the bedroom of the old woman whom they bad selected as victim with the intention of killing her if she refused to hand over the money. One boy, Le Guel, held a lamp while the other, aged thirteen, battered in the old woman's head with a steel bar while she slept A few days afterward they re-enacted the murder in the bedroom for the benefit of the police and were completely unmoved. Can't Be Guillotined. . Under French law, any one under eighteen years cannot be guillotined, therefore Le Guel and his accomplice will be kept In a penitentiary until they reach the age of twenty-one, when they will be drafted for service as conscripts in a regiment serving abroad. After the period of service they will be required to report their movements to the authorities, but their crime <vill be considered aa practically expiated in law. The latest recruit to the youthful, criminal gang--Marcel Morice--was arrested by gendarmes after a chase through a forest near Montigny, in the department of the Orne. He had delivered meat to the widow wLom he made bis victim, battering her head with a brick. He returned to his master's store, tpek about $20 from the cash register and fled. Among many high medical opinions evoked by these repeated crimes by children, most constructive is that of Doctor Heuyer, director of the Clinic of Infantile Neuropsychiatries. He considers that the educational system is wrong. He urges that the German method of re-education of children should be copied. Under this method, children suspected of nervous debility with tendencies towards crime are removed to special observation schools supervised by mental experts who treat them and educate them according to their mental peculiarities. "There are eighty-three such schools in Germany," Doctor Heuyer points out, "which should be sufficient proof that there is need for the same thing here in France, where there are Only three nonspecializing schools."
