CRIMES GROWING FEWER
 IN ENGLAND SAYS BRISE

LONDON, Oct 16.-Sir Evelyn Rug gles Brise. chairman of the British prison commission asserts that while the strain of war is leading Germany to unprecedented criminality. in Eng land crime is steadily decreasing.
 Seventy per cent of the inmates of British prisons are now engaged in war work he said, and the number of convictions for drunkenness in Lon don and thirty-siX of the largest bor- oughs had fallen, since the war began, to about one-quarter of the number before the war Drastic restrictions on the liquor traffic and the facility of employment were said to be the chief contributing factors.
 The proportion of decrease in crime in England was shown by the fact that in 1913 one person in 596 was i'm prisoned and today only one in 1922. The After Care societies, working un- der the Borstal system. were saving from 70 to so per cent of juvenile deinquents from lives of crime, Sir Evelyn said.

WOULD DENY
 HUN PAPERS
 USE OF MAILS

CALGARY, Alta. Oct. l6.- Enemy alien language newspapers in Vest ern Canada are making vigorous fight against the campaign launched by the Great War Veterans assoCia- tion to put them out of business There are scores of these publications in Manitoba. Saskatchewan, Alberta. and British Columbia. Some of them already are beginning to change from the German and Ruthcnian to the English language.
 The demand of the veterans that the publications be denied use of the mails unless printed in English is re- Ceiving serious consideration by the Ottawa government. Recently gen eral meeting of the editors of such publications was held in Winnipeg and a petition drafted to Premier Rob ert Borden stating why they should not be denied use of the mails.
 The editors strongly protest their loyalty and declare that there are thousands of aliens in the west who have no method of learning of gov Cr"ment proclamations and orders ex- c"pt through the columns of the for. eign language press. The veterans reply that this argument clearly proves that the publications are obstacles in the way of foreigners learning Eng. fish and becoming Canadians

URDAY AFTERNOON
Three and One-quarter Dia-
mond Stud Valued at
$1,000 Missing

Taking advantage of the absence
of the special watch, stationed about
the place since the fire on the night
OF Dec. 26, last, thieves ransacked
the residence of M. A. Baldwin, sos
Eleventh street south, Friday night,
and escaped with loot estimated to
value between 800 and $4,000.
The robbery was reported to the
peiicc late Saturday afternoon. Since
thar time Sergeant Morton SYdness
and Detective w. J. Hooks, assigned
to the case by Chief Of Police Louis

clue, which to a late hour this after
noon failed to bring about the ap-
prebension OF the burglars.
One diamond stud, three ana a
quarter karat, valued at $1,000; linen
valued at $500; watches atS200; other
iewelry at S125; several overcoats at
So and a fur robe at $25, besides
other articles, were removed. Mr.
Baldwin is protected by $4,000 insur-
Rnce policy. -. -.
Both Chief Of Police Dahlgren and
Mr.. Baldwin are of the firm BELIEF
that the work was done by men
acquainted with the Baldwin home,
which was Quilted by fire on the night
of Dec. rs to the amount of $6,OOO'
Sincethat time ]. M. Booth has beer
doing guard duty, until fire adJusters
determined the loss.
During the absence Of the watch
man. the thieves entered through a
basement window and made their
haul. which. it is believed, was plac-
ed in a. waiting auto. Several i'm
ported rugs and other articles We're
wrapped together, supposedly 70 De
taken, but abandoned.
Among the other articles missing
are two tan grips, a toilet set, one
dozen OF mems hose and an electric
stand reading lamp. In the Jewelry
loot were many family heirlooms.
Diamond Stud 20 Years Old.
The diamond stud was more than
forty years old and came into the
possession of Mr.. Baldwin at the
death OF his mother.
before ransacking the dwelling,
the burglars pulled down the cur
Iafns. which since the night Of the
fire had been raised high. That they
were in the house for some time was
indicated by the condition in which
the rooms were found the next day
Practically every drawer, which
might contain anything OF value was
explored.
Mr.. baldwin visited the place Fri
day evening about o'clock and at
tended to the furnace.
Not Work of Professionals.
Sergeant Sydness and Chief OF
Police Dahlgren stated this after
noon that the robbery was not the
work of professionals, for they would
very likely have taken the valuable
rugs which had been rolled and piled
up.
ssThe work was by some persons
who were acquainted with the home
and the articles in it. said the SER
geant.
The Baldwin family. since the fire,
moved into the BlakemOre apart
ments In the Rockwell house, pend
ing the adjustment of the fire loss.
