Increasing Crime in Germany.


\ compilation of reports at
Washington. collected b. our govern
ment, shows a terrifying increase CT
crime in Germany, 1T time when
the casualty lists at the front are the
heaviest Of tho war. These reports
include the startling address before
the dict OF Darmstadt by Herr Fred
crick Won Ewald, minister of justice
for Hesse in which he declared that
the war was demoraliZing the civilian
population OF the Empire and that
crimes committed by the young were
terrifying" He said that the moral
laws were being set at naught by
growing numbers Of both sexes and
that the cancer of crime was caus-
ing the greatest anxiety to these re-
sponsible for 'the administration of
the laws.
He dwelt with particular emphasis
upon murders committed by children
and quoted the following statistics
from his own jurisdiction:
Heavy sentences passed upon
criminals less than nineteen years OF
age: During the year 1915, there
were 2s5; in 1916, there were 347; in
1917, the total was 468. Sentences OF
children for less serious crimes were
as follows: In 1914, 5s5; in 1915, 114s;
in 1916, 1895; in 1917, 2o12.
Grating by the rich to obtain fats
and other desired foods in defiance of
the food regulations is described at
! length in another report. Although
the issue Of margarine and butter
combined has been cut in some parts
of Germany to one ounce per week
per adult and the flour ration has
been cut to five and one half ounces
per week from seven ounces, the
wealthy have been able to bride the
dispensers and thus to furnish their
own tables. while the poor and par
ticularly the laborins classes, must
tighten their belts and go hungry.
Two months must elapse before
the harvest shall come into the mar
ket, but even then there is little hope
that the rations will be augmented
greatly. The Ukraine has failed alb
solutely as the hoped-for supply sta
ton for the German people, and with
that failure has come bitter disap-
pointment. Horse flesh is in such
demand that it has become unsafe to
leave teams standing unguarded.
A number of horse thefts in large
cities have been reported to the police
and in every reported case the in
formation was given that the animals
were killed and eaten.
n special report upon the birth rate
of Germany shows that forty per cent
fewer babies were born in the en-
pirc during 1916 than during 1913 and
that there was u decrease of 10000
600 births during the period from
January /, 1915, to December 81. 1917.
OF course we should not regulate
our war activities by the promise of
these dire conditions in the land of
our enemies, but we should not base
such pessimism as we observe in
many who read the casualty lists, on
German claims that the allies have
no reserve" and the German arms
are about to achieve the greatest
victory of history We should take
some of these established facts into

Since his election by the people of this dis trict as their representative in con- gress he has devoted his entire time and talents to the performance of his duties. Even during the early part of his service he made a splendid record in bringing about helpful legislation, He was one of the framers of the Farm Loan bill, which is now a law and in operation. Since the entrance of this country into the war he has never fal- tered in word or deed, but has stood squaerly behind the president and the country.
