CRIME IN LONDON Is
DECREASED By WAR
Many Habitual Petty Offenders Have
Enlisted In Army.

London. War ia spite of all It's ter
rors brings some compensations to the
folks who stay at home. and even If
the compensations do not balance their
anxieties and sorrows they are vel
come
Among such indemnifcation is a de-
crease In crime. That this decrease
has been considerable in Great Britain
Is shown by the report for the year
ended March 81 of the commissioners
of police and the directors Of convict
prisons. Prisoners received under sen
tence were %, 100 rs compared with
Ia. 2S3 I'm the previous year, a decrease
of 50,l23.
The report says that three main
causes seem to have contributed to this
great decrease:
The enlistment of many habitual pet
ty offenders
The restrictive orders issued by the
liquor control board and those made by
the justices and by military authorities
and
The great demand for labor, render
ing employment easy and well paid
aud resulting in ability to pay fines.
One Of the notable effects OF the war
on the prison population, say the COM
missioners. has been that the excep-
uons are now for the most part the
physically and mentally weak There
Is every reason to believe that the coun-
try's call for men appealed as strongly
to the criminals a. to other classes.

son railroad train at Sparta Junction,

Utter had received a letter from his
daughter, whom he had invited to come

gone so badly in her home that she
and the children had neither the cloth

them to accept his invitation. She

A BIC LITTLE Man
Lloyd George Called Energetic,
Determined, Fearless.
IDOL OF BRITISH DEMOCRACY.
Extreme Radicalism of Prime Minister
Has Madc Him at Times zone of Most
Hated Men In England"-Force of
Personality Remarkable, Because He
ls Little Man.

London.-David Lloyd George, prime
minister, is an idol of British democ-
racy. His extreme radicalism has
made him at times "one of the most
hated men in England" particularly
among the aristocracy, but on numer-
GUS occasions he had loomed up as "the
man of the hour" and his personality
has sometimes oyershadowed the whole
Asquith ministry. He is pre-eminently
the British governments man of push
and GO energetic. determined and
fearless.
AS chancellor of the exchequer he was
the author of budget reforms which
opened a new era In the fiscal history
of the United Kingdom and which by

putting new levies of taxation on the
stitutiona conflict between the com
mons and the lords and the curbing of
the legislative veto power of the peers.
With the sudden outbreak of the war
Chancellor Lloyd George was shoul-
dered with the chief responsibility OF
tinahcing the empires part in the great
conflict. Though he had been one of the
chief obstructionists to great military
expeditures on the part of Great Brit
ain i'm peace times, face TO face with
the war he tackled the problem of rails
ing money with his whole strength and
set i'm motion the first of the great
loans which were fioated to meet Brit
aims war cost.
In strange contrast to Lloyd Georges
leadership In the prosecution of the
European war is the fact that his first
political prominence came through his
attacks on the pro war party-during the
South African campaign Of lS99-l900.
He carried his opposition to that war so
far that he even refused to vote for the
supplies necessary to maintain the
army. His disparagement of the Brit
ish cause was so unpopular, however.
that he put his life in jeopardy by ex
pounding his views. At Birmingham
on one instance his life was sought by
a riotOus mob which the police were
unable to handle, and Lloyd-George
was able to escape from their hands
only by Disgusting himself in a police
mans uniform. In later years he was
the object Of physical violence on the
part of the suffragettes. who hurled
missiles at him on several occasions
and who In February. 1913, destroyed
his country house with dynamite.
The force Of Lloyd Georges person
ality is particularly remarkable because
he Is little man-not only short, but
slim-with small mustache and white
face, though his eyes are as eloquent
as his voice. His manner Is cheerful,
frank and democratic, and he Is one OF
the most approachable men who ever
held public Office in England. Although
little In favor among the aristocracy. 1t
Is said he is one of King Georges ia
vorites. liked by the sovereign more
than any other minister.

PROJECT ON FOOT TO BRING
 NATIONAL GUARD T0 PHOENIX

Tn an effort to secure permission from the war department to have the First Arizona infantry ordered to Phoenix during fair week, Colonel Harris, adju- tant general of the guard, has written that bureau that the city of Phoenix as well as the state at large would greatly appreciate being allowed a look at their soldier boys as a regiment
 Very few people of the state have seen the regiment as a whole. The companies making up the organization were sent to the border from various points mobilizing at Douglas. In ad- dition to giving the boys a relaxation from border duty, and allowing them to take in the sights at the fair, it would in Colonel Harris opinion be good ad- vertising and stimulate recruiting in the regiment.
 He explained yesterday that before the necessary permission could be ob- tained considerable pressure would have to be brought to bear on the war department. He suggested that local civic clubs, and the chamber of com merce write or wire to the Arizona delegation in congress, asking them to interview the department in the inter- est of the project.
 Another project which Colonel Harris is fostering, and which he thinks would be one appreciated by the men as well as by the people of Phoenix, would be to have the regiment brought here when mustered out.
 His idea is to bring the men to Phoe- nix, parade them to the state house, and there with fitting ceremonies, speeches

H|CHWAYMAN GETS
 BAKERS vALUAbLES

R. A. Baker a member of the Clover leaf club, Q colored organization, was held up at the point of a gun at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning, at an alley on South Second street, between Jeffer son and Madison streets, and relieved of S121 in currency, a diamond pin val ued at $50 and valuable gold watch. Bakers assailant a white man, who was masked. made his escape down the alley and although the entire police force was quickly on his trail, managed to elude his pursuers and make a clean getaway.
 At just 2;30 o'clock, Baker was mak- ing his way south on Second street
 He had just reached the alley when man stepped upon the sidewalk point ed a gun in his face and demanded his money and valuables. Relieved of his money Baker attempted to continue on his way but his assailant demanded his diamond pin, which had been hid- den. And then a demand was made for Bakers watch, which he was carrying in his hip pocket. When the robbery
 was completed the man broke and ran.
 Baker set up lusty screams and calls for help. On the still night air his cries were plainly heard for several blocks. Night Captain of Police Griggs Carr was quickly on the scene and in a few minutes all the night police had been summoned from their beats and placed on the trail The highwayman. however, had disappeared as completely as though the earth had opened up and swallowed him.
 From a description given of the rob ber the police were enabled yesterday to pursue a somewhat more definite search, but up to a late hour last night had not been able to locate any
 man whom Baker could identify Nearly 20 members of the Cloverleaf 1 club spent two hours in efforts to find some trace of the burglar. With the
 police they guarded every alley and street in the vicinity, while back yards. shrubbery and irrigation ditches were ! searched. The calls for help by Baker quickly determined the scene of the I holdup. Residents for many blocks around were aroused from their slum- l bers.
