Crime Conditions in Germany.

Crlmlnality in Germany augments
without cessation. To quote Socialist
Mehrlng before the reichstag, lying,
theft and swindling are not Offset by

in his London pastoral speaks of i'm
morality, theft and unbridled license.
In Berlin in the fall of 1915 there was
an average Of 800 daily complaints Of
theft. The insecurity on the public
thoroughfares is great. There are s.
600 criminals whose terms at hard la

Studying Deep-Sea Life.

A peculiar advantage for the study
Of marine life is credited the biological
station established at Messina about
two years ago. The sudden rise of the
ocean bed at the strait of Messina
causes very unusual upward currents
from great depths, and these are so
strong as to bring many of the deep
sea animals forcibly TO the surface,
where they are caught from small
boats. The animals are taken under
conditions less abnormal than usual.
Many Of them are able to produce light
and some even vary the color Of the
light at will.

have been caused by counter attack

This movement is to ask the council

but it is the reaction from the petition
