CRIME ON INCREASE
 IN GERMAN CITIES
Berlin VOrWaertS Says War Has
 Not Improved Public Morals

New York, Aug. 10-War has caused among the German people, according to an analysis published by the Berlin Vorwaerts. The paper 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 August 1, 1914" says the Vorwaerts, we 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 increasing number of crimes of brutality, and serious crimes against property and glance at any newspaper confirms the horribly in creaSing number of rObberies and bur glaries in the cities and as well as in rural districts. Systemati tically organ lHed and methOdically operated bands Of robbers menace continually life and property of 'respectabl 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-endan- gering secret when we announce the fact that at Bresent there probably are few German subjects who have not in 
 violated the existing government decrees and laws made themselves liable to punishment"
 The VOTWaerts, then cites the in stances of the citizezn, 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 'Iay' eggs only for a mark apiece, of the wife of the first lieutenant who sells the food articles received from her husband at the front at fancy prices and the army of usurers, secret traders and forgers.
 The VOrwaerts then dwells on the effects of the steel bath on the grow ing generation and cites complaints by the clergy and teachers to show that depravity is one of it's results.
 The paper calls attention to what it describes as the fruits of the best education as shown during the Ra- deck -Bernstorff libel case" It 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 welI-behaVior.
 "The steel bath exerts it's effects on everyone and splashes over the home of the proletariat as well as over the playroom in the family of the count, !" concludes the Berlin publication.

ONE-ARMED WOMAN KNTTs.

Her heart still in the right place, the fact that she has lost one arm has not prevented Mrs. A. Flood. member of the West New York branch of the Red Cross, from knit ting a sweater. It is being exhibited with pride at the headquarters of the branch, and as @ stimulus to others to do their bit for the needs of the men in the service, it will find no rival. The energy and perseverance, of this woman have aroused a strong appeal among many of her tWo- armed sisters. and in consequence 1t is probable that a greater number of knitted articles than ever will be made in the near future to meet the ever increasing demand.

RED GROSS AGAIN EXPLAINS
 RULES OF OVERSEAS PASSPORT

Perhaps no question has been asked more frequently in the last few months, since the enforcement of military rules regarding war service abroad, than that of whether or not a woman who has relatives in the army or navy is eligible for overseas duty.
 Recently the rumor has been spread broadcast that the ban was being lifted an that. at least in they case of Red Cross nurse3. the fact that relatives are in the service would in nowise prevent women from going to England and France at the present time.
 An element of truth is probably re- spOnsible for the rumor, but it is not at all as simple as it sounds. The Red Cross is not permitted to secure passports for any woman who has relatives in the service, whether they are on duty in this country or across the Atlantic. The army and navy, on the contrary, permit nurses, even those who have relatives in service abroad, to carry OH their duties in European countries - but neither military nor naval service of the kind is open to married women.
 The difficulty in getting a complete understanding of the case seems to lie in the fact that the average per son does not realize that the Red Cross is an organization distinct from the army or navy, and that the rules that apply to it, do not necessarily fit the other services.
 An appeal is now being made for nurses to serve in the war zone. and the Red Cross is anxious to have nurses enroll; but if married to men in the service they will not be per- mitted to undertake work of the kind in Europe.

NO PLEASURE AUTOS
 MADE AFTER JAN. |
Manufacturers Ordered to Devote
 Entire Plants to War

Washington, Aug. 10.-Manufac- turers of passenger automobiles were advised by the War Industries Board yesterday to convert their plants to 100 per cent. war work as rapidly as possible and to place them on that basis not later than Jan. 1. 1919. In letter addressed to the National Au- tomobile Chamber of Commerce. Els
 In no other way the letter stated, could they be assured of the continu- ance of their industry or the preser- vation of their organizatio
 The letter was in response to proposal made yesterday by Hugh Chalmers, on the part of the narll- lecturers, voluntarily to curtail the passenger car industry 50 per cent. The War Industries Board declared that the present situation regarding steel and other materials needed for war work gave little assurance of ma terial required for the manufacture of passenger automobiles.
 Pending receipt by the board 6f sworn inventories of materials on hand, requested July 16, no materials will be permitted passenger car man ufacturers, the letter states.
 It was stated by one member that those who were farsighted enough to obtain stocks of steel prior to the re- strictions on delivery in all probabil- ity will have their supply taken by the Government to be turned over to war industries short of 1t.
 Many of the manufacturers who have returned sworn inventories, it was stated, have on hand sufficient steel and other material to operate 100 per cent. capacity from four to six months. When then inventories are in, all manufacturers of passen- ger cars will be placed on the same bases. This basis it was said, would be the amount of steel the Govern ment may be able to supply after war requirements are met.

SHELLS? YES SIR,
 THEY'RE ON THE FIRE
British Shop Fills Order in Time
 for Immediate Use

Correspondence of the Asso PressD Manchester, England, July 3O.- Two days after the British began their big drive on the Somme a rush order for 5000 shells was given one of the projectile factories in this district. So promptly was the order executed that the shells reached the British gunners in time to be used for smashing the enemy's first counter attack
 This shows how closely the mu- milton plants are related to the front and gives an idea of the remarkable degree of cooperation that exists be- tween the shell-maker at home and the soldier in the field.
 The story of this districts achieve ments in the manufacture of muni- tions, illustrated by the actual opera tions, was unfolded recently to a party of Allied newspaper men, including a representative of The Associated Press, which inspected the factories under the guidance of officials of the Ministry of Munitions
 The party saw great industrial district, comprising the counties of Westmoreland. Cumberland, Lanca- shire the whole of North Wales, and the Isle of Man, which had been con- verted into a vast co-ordinated plant for the turning out of war material Everywhere was evidence of how the factories, abruptly terminating their peacetime work, had cleared deck for wartime action,
 It was in June, 1915, that David Lloyd George, then minister of mu- nitiOns, visited Manchester and told the manufacturers and business men that the country needed a huge supply of munitions and needed them at once At this moment the great demand was for shells. They must be had, not six months hence but inn mediately.
 The Manchester District Engineer ing Trades Employers Association called meeting at once, at which nOn-federated firms also were repre- sented The chief question considered was whether it was wiser to establish special national plants for the manU- facture of shells, or to utilize the re- sources for the work available. It was decided to follow the second plan as it assured quicker results.
 Textile manufacture is the principal industry of the Manchester district, and at first it appeared that the ma chinery used in the textile factories was entirely unsuited to munitions production. But by perseverance and ingenuity the textile machinists have cOntrived to adapt their machinery so well to the work that they are now the largest shell producers in the region.
 At the beginning only shells were turned out, but gradually the field of manufacture was extended until now it covers, besides shells, airplanes motor transport vehicles, guns, trench mortars and projectiles, hand gre nades and bombs, mines, submarine engines, steam engines and turbines, scientific instruments and gauges, and a variety of other munitions, ma- chinery and appliances used for war fare.
 As an example Of the concentrated energy now being employed in the Manchester district, it is pointed out that within a ten-mile radius of the Manchester City hall the 2,500,0O0 population employs 100000 horse power. Eighty per cent of this energy is devoted to the manufacture of war munitions.
