CRIME RAMPANT
over GERMANY
Paper Tells of Great Increase I'm
Outiawry-Says All People
Violate Laws.

New York.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press. War has
caused an increase of crime and de-
pravity among the German people.
according to an analysis published
by the Berlin Vorwaerts. The pa
per recalls that at the beginning of
the war, prophets spoke of steel
bath" in the waters of which the
morals of the German people would
recuperate.
"Since Aug. 4, 1914" says the
Vorwaerts, I'VE have allowed the
blessings of this bath to act on us
with steadily increasing vigor and
the result is a moral condition of
health of the German people of
which the compilations of criminal
statistics give convincing reports.
These tell us of the steadily in
creasing number of crimes of bru-
tally, and serious crimes against
property and a glance at any news
paper confirms the horrible increas-
ing number of robberies and burg
laries in the cities and as well as in
rural districts. Systematically Or
ganized and methodically operating
bands of robbers menace continual
ly life and property of respectable
citizens.
ALSO honesty of the latter has
suffered a perceptible crack and
here the influence of the steel bath
is directly proved. We do not fear
that we are disclosing any state
endangering secret when we an
pounce the fact that at present
there probably are few German sub
jects left who have not in some
more or less serious manner vio-
lated the. existing government de-
crees and laws and made them
selves liable to punishment"
The Vorwaerts then cites the in
stances of the citizen, who on Sun
days goes to the country to buy
food for boarding purposes, of the
proud wife of the owner of a large
estate, whose chickens LAY" eggs
only for a mark apiece, of the wife
of the first lieutenant who sells the
food articles received from her hus-
band at the front at fancy prices

he explained to the men of his
command that all married men
would have to pay a tax on
their last years earnings over ST.
600, while all unmarried men
would have to pay on all income
over $1,000.
Coming to him later one of the
men, private, said:
Il guess 1 won't be able to pay
that income tax. l haven't any
money"
"Oh, that's all right" replied the
officer, you have until June to
pay it and you can save it out of
your pay by that time"

sponded the private, Il made $685.

10 Residents
FINDS WORKERS LEAVING
Claims 80 of Every 100 Employees
Quit Island Because of No
Available Rooms.

To every housewife in Rock Is
land an appeal has been sent by Il.
H C1eayeland. chairman of the
United States homes registration
bureau Of this city, asking that the
residences in the city be opened to
employees in the shops at Rock Is
land arsenal
This appeal followed the discov-
cry, Mr. CIeaveIand says, that 60
out Of every 100 men who start
work At Rock Island arsenal, leave
within 80 days because Of dearth
Of living quarters
The dire need of workers at the
plants on the island makes II nee
essary that all employees be prop
crIy housed so as to assure their
comfort, Mr.. Cleaveland says.
Attached 10 the appeal sent to
every housewife, is a card which IS

registration bureau. 1t specifies
. how many rooms can be opened TO
government workers. the condI-
lions. If meals VIII be served, time
required to reach nearest street

Gives Appeal.
The appeals is issued by Mr..
CleaveIand is appended:
startling information has come
10 this department announcing that
20 out OF every 100 men who come
10 the Rock Island arsenal to work
leave inside OF 80 days because
here is no provision made for
housing their families. The Rock
Island arsenal, as announced by the
war department, is the greatest fed
eral arsenal in the United States,
and its work IS absolutely essential
10 the winning Of the war, and its
work VIII not go on unless its
workers are provided with homes.
The war department has, in an
official proclamation. asked the citi-
zens Of Rock Island to open up their
homes and provide furnished rooms
Tor individuals. and light house
lcepiug rooms in suites of two and
three rooms, and more. If possible,
Tor families. Many have respond
ed to this call. but ALPHABETICALLY

triotic thing a family can do, and

and the army of usurers. secret
traders and forgers.
The Vorwaerts then dwelfs on the
effects of the steel bath on the
growing generation and cites COM
plants of the clergy and teachers
to show that depravity is one Of its
results.
The paper calls attention to what
it describes as the fruits of the
best education as shown during the
Radeck1Bernstorff libel case" 1t
adds: when refined cavaliers of
the most prominent society apply
the most common names to each
other and box each others ears,
then no one has the right to claim
for one certain class, decency and
well-behavior.

You may know it already, but it will
bear repetition now when it is i'm
portant that everybody eat literally of
the big potato crop; that potatoes are
an excellent food for your body; that
they are good fuel; that one medium
sized potato gives you as much starch
rs two slices of bread; that, like other
vegetables, they give you salts which
you need to build and renew all the
parts of your body and keep it in order.
Potatoes furnish starch which burns
In your muscles to let you work, much
as the gasoline burns in an automobile
engine to make the car go. When you
have potatoes for meal you need less
bread. Potatoes can save wheat.

together with two braces. The pulley on

A slanting platform, as shown,

rollers depends on the diameter of the

general purposes a space of IS inches
