Suppressing the Gangs.

II there is an explosion of gang
violence IN New York within the next
six months, District Attorney PERKINS
Is likely to be reminded by the
jocose that In the seml-annual report
OF his office just issued the cleaning
up of the gangsters was recorded.
But Mr.. PERKINS and the police can
scarcely be held accountable for the
formation of new associations among
the roughs: their duty and their only
opportunity are to suppress them. and
in this they have admittedly been
unusually successful.
Moreover, there exists reasonable
ground to hope that under the system
now pursued by the authorities
gangs will not he able to establish
themselves as solidly as they have in
days gone by. For years 1t has been

American Claimants Of European
Estates.

The registrar of the Kansas State
department Of vital statistics in a re-
port just issued calls attention To a
condition that may confront many
similar officials in this country. He
has been asked. he said. to provide
proofs as 10 the identity of people Of
the State whom the casualties Of the
present war have made probable heirs
to estates in Europe. He has been
compelled to acknowledge that on ac-
count of the incompleteness of the
records these reports could not al
ways be secured.
The war must necessarily AFFECT the
landed interests of almost the entire
world and 1t will IN many cases de.
velop n new line of descent and in
heritance. In Belgium. along the
western border OF Russia and the
northern border of France. in Ca
licia and Serbia whole families have
been wiped out Of existence, on the
battle lines all the male members ~
some families of all the warning ma
tons have been killed. The result is
must go tn distant relatives.
According 10 the last United states
census u foreign born population Is
1876 Ter cent. of the total population 4:
the population born of foreign or
mixed percentage is still larger. being
23.l per cent. of the total. There are
comparatively few families In this
great bulk Of our inhabitants but
have suffered by the death of some
relative or. perhaps, relatives in the
present war.
II Is with the children Of foreign
or mixed percentage that the report Is
especially concerned. The registrar
says that because no registration
was made AZ the time of birth we
were unable 10 produce records def
nltely establishing the persons iden
tity." He expresses II doubt that II in
the past more than 81 or ~ per cent.
of the births in Kansas were reported

confined to Kansas, Despite the
stringent laws with the penalty of

have almost useless vital statistics.
Attention is directed to this matter
just ut present on ccoun of the i'm
portance that II assumes in the estab-
lishment of valid claims in some other
part of the world: hut the lack of
such records has often worked hard
