CITY UNAFFECTED
BY CRIME WAVE
War Has Not Increased Juvenile
Delinquency Here

War has not developed an increase
in juvenile delinquency in this city,
according to the report of Probation
Officer E. G. Connolly which has been
filed with Judge James T. Meskill Of
police court Sociologists and GRIM
biologists expected that the courts
would notice an increase in youthful
lawbreakers but thus far the wave
has not struck this city.
Among observations and facts in
the report. the following are printed
There appears to be a conviction
among many that the war will bring
about. or has already brought about,
an abnormal increase of Juvenile
delinquency and immortality in our
country and steps have been taken by
the Defense League Of the State to
gather information along this line
While this may be true of the larger
cities. careful investigation of the
situation in our city and comparison
with former years does not bear out
the supposition.
There is an increase in Juvenile
misdemeanors but only as expected
with growth of the city. Our local
authorities are alive to the possibil-
tiles and are prepared for any acute
outbreak. Our schools are aiding
greatly in preventive work but there
is an increasing need for more Boy
Scout troops, cadets, and any form of
recreation which will keep the grow
ing boy out of mischief after school
hours and make for his all round de-
yelopment prevention is better
than cure"
cit is interesting to note that q
number of the young men on proba-
ton were among the first to volun-
teer for active service. ana whatever

He saw no reason for detection or dis
enlargement with regard to the future
Reconstruction after the war would be
long and arduous but it must be under
taken by removing all friction from the
machinery of progress and by approac l.
ing the problem in a spirit OF good will.
He stated that the first and most Sc
rious question in his opinion was the re-
lations of capital and labor. as it was
only by a harmonious working between
these two forces that the required result
could be obtained.
He urged strongly the necessity Of bet
ter organization, after the war The
day of small industries on individual
lines was gone, he said, and manufactur-
ers and traders must organize for united
effort.

ITALIANS BREAK
INVADERS LINES
Definite Defeat of Austro-
Germans on Upper Piave
Accomplished
THE LOSSES ARE
TREMENDOUS
Major-Gen. Maurice of Brit
ish War Office Says
Crisis Is Over

London, Nov. 30.-German first anC
second lines have been broken with tire
mendous losses, the Italians definitely
having defeated the enemy's efforts t.
break the line from the upper Piave, ac
eordiHg to announcement from Rome
This action followed an encircling move
ment, begun Tuesday, when the Austro
Germans made a massed attack upon
Malaga Slapped In this initial attack OF
the day they were forced to retire, leav.
ing complete sections of machine guns in
the Italians hands.
Details of the subsequent fighting
which ended in victory for the forces
of General Diaz are awaited anxiously
For several days it has been known that
the enemy was preparing for still
greater offensive thrust in the northern
region in a mighty effort to break
through.
The official Rome statement merely
chronicles the fact that Italian batteries
carried out concentrations of fire on en-
envy troops massed in movement Ber
lin Wednesday contented itself with the
announcement that there was nothing
to report" from the Italian front.
Major General H. b. Maurice, chief di-
rector of military operations at the Brit
ish war office, announced yesterday that
he was able TO say definitely that the
crisis in Italy had passed. He added
that Anglo French troops are available in
sufficient numbers in Italy ito satisfy us
that the situation is secure" He further
said that there had been no important
movement of German troops from the
Russian front.
General Maurice pointed out that Ger
man inability to exploit the Italian dis
aster could be regarded as significant of
Austro-German weakness,
THE results which the Germans at,
tanned in their first attack" he said,
were due solely to the successful prop
uganda among the ignorant soldiers of
the uneducated peasant class, This sue
cess far exceeded any German eXpecta
ton, But, having gained this success,
it would be expected that the Germans
would do all possible to exploit it. They
nave been able to do nothing beyond fol
lowing up the Italian retirement. Even
now there is no sign anywhere of the
vast German reinforcements which it
might naturally be expected Germany
would rush up to strike decisive blow
at the enemy. Whyy My only answer
is they are not there because Germany
is unable to send them She is unable to
exploit the opportunity offered
The Italian statement of Wednesday |
follows;
"On the Asiago plateau, in the Pri |
molano basin. at the north of Coldela |
Berretta on the middle Piave, our bat |
teries, in cooperation with lombard |
ment fight, have carried out concentra-
tions of fire on enemy troops massed and |
in movement.

down yesterday by our airmen"
