LARGE INCREASE IN CRIME

"Crimes 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, sis IN

every commodity have such an increas-

Extent Of System.
A friend of mine who returned from
Berlin after the United States declared
war on Germany told story, of which
he had personal knowledge, to show
the extent of the German spy net. An
acquaintance In Berlin obtained per-
mission to go to Holland on business.
1t is not easy to get such permission
nowadays. Although an American, he
was forced to tell just whom he wished
to see In Holland and why. While IL,
Amsterdam he received a hurry call to
London from his correspondent there
and took the next boat, getting wise
through the interest of the American
legation in The Hague. .g ta.

He was able to make his explanation

another incident to write note about,
This was some weeks before the Unit.

Turning to Furs for Warmth.

The coat shown in the picture Is as
good n model for general wear and
smart style as one could wish. Its
deep collar may be turned so that it
will engulf the face almost to the eyes
and still protect the shoulders and
chest. The very deep cuffs suggest
warmth and provide 1t. The front laps
across from right to left and is held
In place by a very wide belt in addi-
ton to other fastenings. Fullness Is

side-a feature that is especially want

Among the late arrivals in winter
coats there are some very handsome

in needlework or embroidery about the
bottom: Sometimes this extends

by wide band Of fur across the back.
This is something quite new and it is

from his purpose to become school
teacher and started him upon the mill

ment as general in the United States
army and commander OF the American
expeditionary force in France. The
story is told by General Pershing's sis
tiers, Mrs. Butler and Miss May Per
shing. who are residents OF Lincoln.
It was while General PershIng and
his sister. now Mrs. Butler. were Mt
tending the Missouri State Normal
school Mt Klrksville. Mo-, TINT his at
tention one day was called to newspa-
per announcement that examinations
were to be held for appointment TO the
West Point Military academy. Young

to whether he should try for the mp

intensive study In preparation.
In few days he was called before
the examining board and. although Inn
properly prepared. received the high
est mark among the contestants and
soon afterward was notified of his mp
pointment. Up to this time his action
had been a secret between mis- sister
and himself and It remained SO until
he was ready to start for West Point.

against next to none in a fireless in

and lounge pillows are reported to be
made Of felts. Everywhere the cheap

In the face Of all these considera-

selves by providing handsome gar

Goats with wide collars, deep cuffs and
borders that extend up to the knees
or higher, make a silk garment warm

The hand-knit sweater is an expen-

makes 1t so. This is where the oppor-
tunity lies for women who can knit
and make their own sweaters.
Knitted silk sweater-coats for spr,np
have already been launched. One Of
the new models looks like a Norfolk
jacket. It fastens at the front with
buttons and has a belt that dips at the
front, made Of the knitted silk. This

The manufacturers of knitted gar
ments, specializing in the particular
line Of work, bring out new styles in
sweaters. sweater coats, bathing suits,
and all other garments shaped to the
figures in the machines that make
them, with the return Of each spring
and fall season. Sweaters and sweat
er coats probably furnish the bulk
of their business. No member of the
up-to-date family undertakes to face
the winter, or the summer either, with
out a sweater. Even the baby tod
dies out clad in knitted garments from
head to foot.
It usually falls to the lot Of moth
ers to select and buy all these gar
ments, hence she is interested in the
styles for boys and young men, as welr
as in those for girls and women. A

RECRUITING STATION At 500
HOTEL WANTS AMERICANS TO

The war departments appeal to AM
erican citizens to turn recruiting
agents and fiji up the gaps in the army
is based on the soundest kind of pa
triotism. 1t is an appeal directed at
each individual and as obligatory in
adherence as though the call for actu-
al service was made.
It suggests the country's response
to Lincoln memorialized for all time in
the sentence 'iWe are coming, Father
Abraham, One Hundred Thousand
Strong" 1t ought to have an equally
enthusiastic acceptance now.
There has been much said and
written and sung Of Preparedness"
AS the war departments appeal reads,
those who are really interested in
preparedness can render no more ef-
fective service than by using their
Influence to procure recruits for the
army"
Why shouldn't the country do this?
The army is not an amusement enter
prise. 1t is organized to protect US.
1t is maintained to defend OUR coun-
try and it's interests. Why shouldn't
therefore, every Individual who, en-

nation, then in the selfish interest of
himself or herself?
1t was misfortune because it was
an insult, to regard at one time the
army as service unbecoming man.
Thanks be, that preversion of public
opinion has been cured. The army,
military service, not from the view
point of the ogre or the brute, but
from the view point Of the trained man
the physical culturist, the patriot, has
become highly respectable and high
ly patriotic service, which, in the
course of time maybe, no man may ig-
more unless he be crippled or inhibited
by religion.
That being so, none need hesitate
to recommend the service to a young
man whose circumstances will per.
nit enlistment. The army, like the
navy, is a great force in which iron
men are made, men who are needed
in this life, gentle as a child and
strong as a lion. The country needs
them and it needs the help of it's citi-
zens to get them.
All branches of the service are now
open for enlistments at the local re-
cruiting station, 500 Hotel. Men eli
gible for enlistment are those between
the ages of eighteen and twenty-onc
and thirty.one and forty-One.
