A PROBLEM IN cRlMINALiTY.

The statistics of arrests In our great
cities, as classified by nationalities,
are always worth studying for the
light they throw on the characteris-
tics of the population as modified by
the heavy immigration Of recent years
OF course the vast majority of the ar
rests are for petty city offenses and
not for crimes and in consequence the
arrest figures indicate not so much
the permanent fitness or unfitness OF
the new elements of population for our
national life as their temporary and
Immediate adaptability to it.
Statistics for New York City arrests
in 1908 have Just been published, and
accurate comparisons with the arrests
six years ago, in the first year of con
solidation of the city. can be made.
The showing is a distinctly hopeful
one. and much more to the credit OF
the foreign residents than would be
expected The total number of arrests
last year was l57.s71. an increase oil
$4,000. OF this increase 10000 was
among the native born whites. The
Increase for native whites was 80 per
cent over six years ago, for colored
persons 27 per cent and for foreign
born inhabitants only II per cent II
would not be fair to discuss the in
crease of crimnality by nationalitIes
without careful preliminary study
of the increase in the number of res.
idents of each race. But IL may be
said that the Italian arrests Increased
about 30 per cent and the Russian
only about II per cent. although both
races have increased enormously in
numbers in the city.
If there is cause for satisfaction In
this there is anything but cause fol
satisfaction in the arrests of children

North American Review shows that
last year 26 per cent of all the child

GETTING THE slNEWs OF WAR.

Raising money for the conduct oil
the war seems to be comparative
ly easy feat for the Japanese. Sub.
scriptions for the new loan floated
in England and the United States
were closed recently. and. as be-
fore. the amount was several times
oversubsribed, In San Francisco alone
bonds amounting to $S00,000 were
taken within an hour after the sub.
scription was opened. This loan, lik,
the first one, is secured by the Japan
ese customs OF Europe and America
as safe and profitable investment.
In striking contrast with Japan's
excellent financial condition is the
dificulty which Russia has experienc-
ed from the beginning in providing
the sinews of war. This Is partly due
TO the fact that Japan has prepared
for the conflict years before 1t began
and had accumulated quantities OF
military and naval SUPPLIES. besides
having a considerable surplus In the
treasury. Add to this the nearness OF
the scene Of operations to the base OF
supplies, which enormously lessons

10 seen that Japan has an advantage

not only in greater preparedness but
In the ability to get the greatest ben
eft from her expenditures.
A noted Franch financial authority
estimates that up to the first of July
the war was costing Russia from $780,
000. 900 to S40,000.000 month. and that
since that time the expenses have
steadily increased. If the Czar preslsts

ing that such feat is physically pos
sible-the cost will rise 10 not less
than $50 900, 900 a month. or 50 .000. 900
day. This is a staggering figure and
1t Is doubtful If even Rusia's vast re-
sources are sufficient to meet 1t. Early
in the war the Cars ministers Dor
rowed 100000, ,0Jy In France, but this
was long ago exhausted and today
they are facing the problem of where
to get more.
A good deal has been written OF
the enormous extent of Russia's re-
sources but II must be remembered
that though vast they are almost
wholly undeveloped The people are
already taxed to the limit of endur-
ance and there are no great CONNER
cial enterprises, such as exist in Eng
land and America, to furnish the need
cd revenue. Russa's resources con
sist mostly in It's mineral deposits
its forests and its grain lands. but
these are for the most part in the
primitive stage and years of energet-
ic effort will be required for their
development,
On the other hand Japan's resurces
may readily be turned into cash The
nation is busy and prosperous, Every
acre of land produces its quota, man
nfacturers are thriving and the peo
pie are exceedingly thrifty. so far the
