No More Socks Will Go

WASHINGTON, April Is. Socks
are so plentiful in the ranks of the
American expeditionary forces that
the ban on the parcel post shipment
of hosiery from America will be con-
tinued, Major General March, acting
chief of staff, has advised Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts,. The ship
ments, which Massachusetts desired
to send to Bay State troops would use
tonnage space needed for other sup
plies and therefore must be held UP.

SURPRISING THE MULE

The mule, while one of our greatest
blessings, in many ways has become
n positive menace to his friends along
the western front.
1t is an unfortunate habit with the
mule to raise his voice in song about
every so often. Over in France he has
quite unintentionally revealed the
whereabouts of our troops by his Caru-
soesque interpretations.
Rnt science is wonderful. It has
come To bat with a cure for braying.
A slight operation is performed on the
nose of the mule, and he can no longer
emit loud tones. He may sing, but his
song is a song OF twilight hushad

that of tying large rock to the tail

Too Much Talking

German spies have little trouble in getting in
formation because we Americans like to talk.
Our government has warned us since the out
break of the war to keep silent about our war
preparations, but neither civilians nor the gov
eminent itself has taken the matter seriously.
Mai. Gen. E. D. Swinton, inventor of the
"tank," has addressed few words of criticism
to Americans that we might take to heart.
Zone thing you Americans must do" he says,
land that is not talk so much about your war
preparations. ! see now some talk about build
ing gun to shoot 100 miles. Well, if you build
such gum build it, but don't talk about it. The
same is true about your airplane program. Let
the Germans have their first taste when they see
your air fleets in the air over their lines
That's sensible advice. Think Of the public
ty and grandiloquent bombast Washington sent
out regarding our ship program and air fleet
construction. We were led to believe that ships
by the hundreds and airplanes by the thousands
would be turned out in few months
Germany was to be overwhelmed by thous-
ands and thousands of airplanes this spring, and
hundreds of ships, turned out en- masse in our
shipyards, were to spell defeat for the subma-
rines.
And yet how disappointing is the achieve
ison with the glowing advance notices that were
put out. Eventually we shall fulfill the promises
of the paid publicists in Washington. but how
much better for all of us, if we had followed the
course laid down by General Swinton.
He kept his tanks" under cover. Germany
knew nothing about their presence on the battle
field until they came smashing across No Mans
Land, bringing death and destruction to the foe.
Again, Germany did not hire paid publicity
agent to advertise it's 70-mle gun. When the
day came, the crash of the projectile proclaimed
the deed.
We need to learn self-restraint and balanced
judgment. Our Allies, knowing our weakness
for rehabilitation and pompous pronouncement
of what are going to do, overlook this trait of
national character, but Germany, our foe
uses the information for her own military ends.
Is there man who does not believe that Ger
many began speeding up her airplane production
when she read the grandiloquent announcements
of what fleet of thousands of machines in
tended to do? Does any one believe that Ger
many disregarded our flamboyant predictions of
defeating her submarine campaign by our ship
building program?
A good example of working without telling
the world all about it's plans is the navy. This
branch has done work from the outset of the war
which has merited unstinted praise from our AL
lies and competent critics at home.
The navy was prepared for action. A rigor-
Gus congressional investigation could find moth
ing to criticise and much to praise. 1t has gone
ahead day by day, doing its work and getting re-
suits. 1t does not proclaim it's plans from the
housetops nor lead the nation to expect wonders.

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

New York.-Slnce 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 70 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
0 special examination Of the records
with a view to answering the question
as to the effect Of the war on crime
and criminals. His conclusions are as
follows:
Grimes against property have I'm
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 10 to be
attributed not 80 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.
'sThe explanation" he says. ''is in
the Increased value Of property. SILKS.
copper, brass, foodstuffs and almost
every commodity have such an increas-
60 value and are 30 readily salable
that It ID worth while to steal most
anything. and the thieves act accord
ingly. With the increase In yalues Ii
