In one important respect the London
policeman has differed hitherto from
the policeman OF almost every other
large city. That is in the matter OF
his arninR His only weapon Of de-
fense and oftense has been n short
staff or truncheon. which has Afforded
~ little protection when Il came 20
~ettf5, 'nto action against a desperate
criminal s-ad with a knife or re-
voIyer. II In nov, proposed that ne be
armed with the revos>,,sr' TO give MN
at least an even chance nS~teaeAeo Oy
one Of the foreign criminals W. nave
made their obnoxious presence tefv IN
London I'm recent years. The native
criminal or misdemeanant has well
grounded respect for the London po-
liceman and seldom ventures on vio-
lenoe when disturbed IN his occupation
OF breaking the law. but the results OF
Great Britain's hospitality In the mat
ter OF harboring the offscourings OF
other countries are being felt In Lon
don.
The question Of arminE the London
policeman with the revolver has
aroused great interest in Great Britain.
The arguments In favor OF the change
are obvious. The other side OF the case
was presented thus by one OF Lon
don's leading newspapers:
I'VE wrote OF the Houndsditch po-
Nee murders [six policemen we're shot,
some fatally, in a battle with foreign
l.. a. .N d -
kind Is little known In London. and
our police are not armed with revolv-
ers with which they can return fire. Il
may become . question whether the
man on night duty should not be so
armed Nevertheless we are sorry 20
see the proposal made IN some quarters
| that the police as = whole should be
armed with revolvers. That would be
q serious blundsr In undertaking
dangerous duty. such a. the arrest Of
known burglars. the police should cer-
tainly be placed on an equality with
their possible assailants. To pass from
this TO general armLng II a step that
requires most earnest consideration.
We possess the most sfncient police
force In Europe, and it's power springs
largely from the fact that II B not
armed as other police are. An armed
police produces en- armed criminal
class, besides creating no little danger
to ordinary citizens"
That London's "bobbtes" sucoeed
well in handling the ORDINARY citizen"
Is well evidenced by the fact that IN
London the proportion Of arrests 90

that in New York and other big
American cities. The thing about the
