CRIME IN SAx0NY DECREASES
Burolarles Reduced BY 70 Per Cent
Since Outbreak Of European
War.

Dresden.-Criminality has dimin-
ished to a remarkable degree in Sax
ony during the war, according to the
police commissioners report. In Ores
den the number of frauds has been re-
duced by 40 per cent and burglaries
by 70 per cent. This occurrence is
not attributed to the calling up Of the
members of the habitual criminal
classes among the men drawn to take
their places in the ranks Of the army
but is due to psychological reasons, in
the opinion of the noted criminologist.

The portrait Of Frances Freeland'
with her Victorian talent for shutting
her eyes tight and ignoring whatever
might be puzzling OF painful In hfe'
L. touchingly tender and sadly truth
full. For IL is to be feared that q great
many OF our grandmothers COPIED with
this worlds evil by ignoring 1t. Her
philosophy of life vas made up
largely of a fine fortitude which ac-
cepted as the chief obligations Of life
the making the best OF a hopelessly
bad job and the submission to author
ity. She had implicitly obeyed her
husband while he lived and she now
counselled her family to obey her
eldest son. John.
II don't understand very WELL" h
would say. for our grandmothers did
not concern themselves much with So
cial problems, but | am sure that
whatever dear John says will be wise
and right. You must remember that
he Is the eldest and has had a great
deal of experience" And again she
sums up life and all its problems by
saying: Its always best to smile
and try to look on the bright side Of
things and not be grumbly-grum-
bly,"
Frances Freeland liz a lovely ne
mortal to the loveliest kind of mid
Victorian woman whose virtues will
no more answer for a world that de-
mands of its women intellect. cour-
age. wide outlook and independence.
"Tempora mutantur," and the old type
with all its loneliness and gentleness
must PASS n a virtue more vigorous
take its place. Young Media in THE
Freelands" is a good instance OF the
transition type. The Victorian inheri-
love make her brave.
In this novel John Galsworthy has
lost none of his cunning. The book
is full Of fleeing gltmpses OF the pass
ing loveliness OF life; pictures OF man,
silent, dumb, puzzled. set in his beau
tiful earth; the shifting mystery OF
sky and cloud shadow above him:
the endless mystery of earth green
carpeted and tree bedecked about him:
this is as wonderfully placed before
us as in The Dark Flower But in
this book Mr.. Galsworthy has mar
ried to his natural magic all the
seriousness and chivalry of his social
purposes. The book ends on the tote
OF hope. The world is changing!
There shall not be a lost good. Each
man who fights for freedom and for
the ~loosening Of the shackles OF the
oppressed does something toward that
change.
Like Heine Of old. like his living
confreres Hardy and Shaw and Wells.
Galsworthy is Il brave soldier In the
liberation war of humanity.

little talk of the celebrated baseball
~evargelist being induced TO visit this

what he would call an 'anti-booze stunt
The publication of Or. Ellls's book on
this side might conceivably be explained
as a step designed TO render any such
enterprise impossible. for il proves. much
more completely han the scattered re-
ports could do. how remote are his ways
and language alike from the world Of
popular religion in England.
ar. Ellis has not written a life OF
Billy sunday. He sketches briefly the
stages Of his career-his baseball tr!-
umphs. his conversion in Chicago and
its results. and the growth OF the elabo-
rate organization which is behind the
astonishing SERIES of evangelistic cam
paigns eliminating during the present
year In Philadelphia and In Paterson

Is made up Of Billy Sundays sayings
and sermons. the latter being reprinted
at length.

Swedish art one does not md either
the refinement, subdued grayness or
genial humor Of the Danish; there is
less that Is serious and aggressive and
individual than in the Norwegian. In
stead there is a love Of color almost
as harmonious as the Italian. Among
the artists Zorn. so well known for
his etchings In this country, stands
out as a marked figure; LARSEN Is a
painter of family life; L%iljefors as a
painter Of animals; Prince Sagen Is
the chosen painter Of night. giving
to his Interpretation of midsummer a
touch OF pathos" not found elsewhere
in Northern art. Anna Boberg is
foremost as n painter Of quaint fish,
ing scenes the fleets on the coas Of
north Of the polar circle. Jansson has
won distinction as a painter Of night
scenes in Stockholm, and Bergh as a
portrait painter. Sweden's greatest
singers have been Jenny Lind and
Christine Nilsson. and while its list

The illustrations in the book are

 .sBut our coast sdefenses, admiral, spoke the correspondent of Boston newspaper ssWe've been told that those affairs with their fourteen and twelve inch rif1ed steel cannon and their twelve inch mortar batteries and mines and things are as powerful as any in the world and can stand of any fleet
 .NThey are not coast defenses, sir, answered the chief of staff. They are harbor defenses. They can stop war ships from entering our great harbors. They cannot prevent an enemy from landing on the coast out of their range. And on the Atlantic coast of the Unit ed States there are hundreds of miles, of utterly undefended beach where any number of men can land as easily as if they were trippers landing for picnic. All those miles of shore and all the country behind them lie as open to in vasion, ? he held out his hand, tsas this. :
 sThen what's the use of them ?s'
 They furnish a protected harbor within which our own navy could take refuge if defeated or scattered said the admiral. .aThey make our protect ed cities absolutely secure against a purely naval attack. No navy could readily pass the defenses, and probably none would venture so close as even to Lombard them seriously. Certainly no fleet could bornbard the cities behind them
 saTherefore,'' he continued, if an en enay wishes to bring war to us he must land an army of invasion Our harbor defenses force him to do that; but. hay ing forced him to bring the army, their function ceases. They cannot prevent him from landing it We have to do that with our army
 And could you stop him, or is that a military secret?'' asked one of the par ty. He did it tentatively. He had been a war correspondent with foreign ar mics, and he did not expect a reply.
 -My dear boy answered the chief of staff promptly, there probably isn't a general staff in the world that doesn't t know all about us to the last shoe on the last army mule. We've got SS,000 men in the regular army officers and prfvates. ISee war department reports, 1e15.1

Now, cut out another 2l,oO0 men. Those are fighting men, but they're not here. They're in Pana- ma, Hawaii, the Philippines, China and Alaska-and we wish that we had about three times as many there, espe- ciaIly in Panama. How much does that leave? Forty-eight thousand? Very. well. That's what we've got here at home. But you'll please count out an other 17,0OO. They're in the coast ar tillery, and have to man the harbor defenses of which we've been talking
