CRIME RAMPANT IN GERMANY
Socialist Deputy Charges Robbery
g Cheating and Profiteerinq.

ShSdSIuS anu TIOulCCTIUS.
Amsterdam, June 21.-The follow
ing is a picture of social conditions in
Prussia, as presented during the de-
bate on June 18 on the budget Of the
ministry of the interior In the house
of deputies by the Socialist member,
Braun:
1--WE are face to face with a ter
rfble condition Of public morality. We
hear of numberless cases of thefts on
railroads and alarming juvenile GRIM
inality.
"As for that we are all sinners.
Profiteering exceeds all bounds; usury
is rampant among all classes. Fraud
ulent profiteering like that Of the
Daimler works, is nOwise exceptional
Even official bodies attempt to extort
Illegal profits. Poor people can only
buy clothes at the official clothing de-
partment by bribing statesmen with
tips or food.
''The increase OF criminality demon
strateS the decentralization through the
war, which is described by fools as a
rejuvenating bath.
Everybody cheats, steals, grabs.
from jailbird to court chamberlain,
who cheats the needy home worker
out of his scanty earnings and pockets
millions. And the longer the war lasts
the worse 1t becomes.
added to this is the fatherland
party's wild war batting propaganda
and refusal of equal suffrage What
wonder that popular evaporation
burst forth in big strike In Janu-
ary."

At the Theatres

The much debated question as to
whether men or women feel most Sc
verely the terrible burden of war has
been thoughtfully touched upon in the
tremendously patriotic picture ''The
Thing We Love-" which every good
American man, woman and child
ought to see and think about The
question is as old as war itself and
the nearest solution that we have ever
seemed to reach is that it usually falls
equally heavy upon the shoulders of
all. This is only one of the many pres
ent day problems in Things We
Love-" which is at the Classic to-
night.
Pauline Frederick, who is to appear
at the Majestic Sunday in "La TOsca,'
made her debut as "dare devil" at
Ft. Marion, Florida, when she made a
sensational fall of thirty feet from a
parapet of the the fort into the water
in the death scene of LA Tosca." Miss
Frederick could have allowed "dou-
BILE" to do this scene for her, but Ed
ward Jose, her director, was not
wrong in supposing that she would
accomplish the feat to keep the pic
ture up to the very high standard
which prevails throughout.
Billy West, the well known coined
ian, will appear in his latest comedy,
'The Orderly at the Classic Satur-
day. Some of the scenes were taken
at one of the leading hospitals of the
country and a person can readily see
the number of comedy situations that
would take place with a we'll known
comedian like Billie West.
