INCREASE IN CRIME
Takes Amazing Leaps Since
America Entered War.
Number Of Complaints Throughout
Country increases 20 Per Cent
In Six Months

New York.--Since the United States
entered the war the crime percentages
in practically every city In the coun.
try have taken amazing leaps. The
number OF complaints reaching VA
rious detective headquarters through
out the land for the last six months
was 20 per cent higher than during the
same period year ago. The Increase
has extended TO practically all forms
Of crime except murder and assault
Commissioner Woods OF the New
York city police department, has made
a special examination Of the records
with view to answering the question
as TO the effect OF the war on crime
and criminals. His conclusions are as
follows:
"Crlmes against property have In
creased steadily since the United
States entered the war, and the rea-
son may be found directly In the eco
nomic conditions which have been
brought about by the war. Crimes Of
violence, except robbery, have tended
to decrease, but the decrease Is to be
attributed not so much to gangs and
the Imprisonment Of the gangsters who
formerly afflicted New York city"
Like Commissioner Woods, District
Attorney Swami holds that the causes
of increased crime are economic, due
to the war.
"The explanation" he says, "is In
the increased value Of property. silks,
copper, brass, foodstuffs and almost
every commodity have such an increas-
ed value and are SO readily salable
that II Is worth while to steal most
anything, and the thieves act accord
ingly. With the Increase in values Is
a corresponding Increase In tempta-
ton"

AFTERMATH OF WAR

There is a great difference OF opin-
ion as to whether as an aftermath of
the war the allied nations, now
fighting the Teutons, will formulate
q trade agreement, OF a defensive
and offensive character. which will
virtually be trade war against
Germany. There are some who be-
lieye that it will be a very natural
effect Of the war. while Others feel
that such an arrangement would be
a violation of economic law and
would not be successful. 1t Is too
early to speculate as to what Will be
done either at the peace conference
or among the allied nations after the
war. There is one thing, however,
which it is well to bear in mind, and
that is the allies will hold in their
hands an even more powerful weap-
on for the chastening of Germany
by means of trade reprisals than
they hope for even by military vic
tory.
The hope OF the United States and
OF the allies is for a complete mill
tary victory. There is no question
Of such victory eventually. but a
condition may arise which will en-
able the allies to conclude peace
with the same political conditions
which they might impose II an abso-
lutte military victory were secured.
In other words, Germany may, even
tually, and to avoid further punish
ment, make concessions and agree
ments which will be satisfactory to
the allies. 1t may be that in all
these concessions there will not be a
full granting OF all the demands OF
the allies, and there may not be a
bringing about OF that disarmament
which is so much desired by the
world today
There still remains, however, with
the allies the possibility OF pledge
whereby violation of any OF the
actual or implied promises and
agreements OF Germany will be
promptly and effectively punished by
trade isolation. It will require a
quarter OF a century for Germany to
repair the losses to It's trade. II
will require the consistent and per-
sistent work OF the full energies OF
the nation. Therefore, II cannot vio-
late any limitations which the allies
may place upon it II there is danger
of a trade boycott.
Those who object to such a trade
boycott take the position that trade
should be unrestricted, that It should
flow in natural channels, and that
there is no use in maintaining after
