Alcoholism and Crime.

The National Temperance Quarterly

been the practice in Sweden to make
careful inquiry and report as to how
many prisoners were intoxicated at the

how many were addicted to drink be-
fore the crime Between 1887 and
1905. of the men prisoners, 71.9 per
cent were either intoxicated when the
crime was committed or were habitual
drinkers.
The influence of alcohol was proved
as follows: In SOS per cent of the
cases of breaches of regulations and
public order, IN S5.2 per cent of assas-
sinations, murders. and other acts of
violence; in 1913 per cent of cases of
robbery with violence: in T1.2 per cent
Of breaches of military law; in 6S.3

them on the hospitable shores of
Holland!
Little, weeping, starving
mites, lost to their frenzied par
ents in the rushing avalanche of
refugees, their plight forms the
most poignant protest against
the cruel game of torture, death
and devastation that now holds
all Europe in its mighty grasp.
Surely many of them will never
see their mothers again!
Orphaned by confusion-not
death-these little innocents.
blameless for conditions that
wrecked their lives right at
the start, they are being adopted
by the kindly mothers of Holland.
Nearly every home in Amsterdam
houses Belgian children.
Frightened out of the very
knowledge of their own names,
Identification seems impossible,
and the little ones can only cry
silently and wonder what the
gain and glory may be in this
great game their elders call war.
Just now a young married
Dutch woman has been telling
me, with tears in her eyes, of
the unclaimed babies in Amster-
dam and other towns, and ! sug-
gested, half jokingly, that she
should adopt one.

said; but there are not enough
to go around. We would all take
