War Improves Street Urchin

London. August 20.-tSpecial) )-Accord- Ing to London police officials, war has been responsible for a marked improve ment in the appearance of the London street urchin. Never before, it is said. has the average boy on the London streets been so well clad as today. This is attributed largely to the separation allowances received by the wives of sol diers at the front. and also to the fact that most employers have found it nec- essary to put their boy employees into uni form n order to keep them, so great is the popularity of the uniform, whether military or civil.

he would have the man who has
worked and accumulated a COM

others who are too lazy to work.
Judging from his personal APP

He prefers that the flow OF

they do of self, and who have
the nerve to enact just laws for

enforce those laws, irrespective

Mayor Coffman said "In fact, flush

was really a saving. But we found
that washing the refuse into the sewer

report which the German government
will make in answer to the United
