FRIGHTFULNEss AT HOME

The war has not caused any increase
of crime in England, France or the Unit
ed States If anything, it seems to have
diminished it. But. according to the
leading German newspapers. the contrary
is the case in Germany. We learn from
the Berlin Tagblatt that more than three
hundred burglaries occur every day In
Berlin. most of which are committed
by deserters from the army. Not only
has the police force been increased but
a considerable number of soldiers have
been detailed to do police duty. Things
have reached such pass" says the
Zeitung am Mttag, that individual po-
licemen patrollng the streets are no
longer sure of their lives "
The Kiel Zeitung adds a more sweep
ing indictment of German society:
Fraud embezzlement. peculation-
those are unhappily the characteristics
of German domestic life today. Among
the chief offenders are state officials,
court functionaries. high police officials
the very class of whose honesty we
We're once so proud. Our children will
the rankest barbarism. of unchecked
criminality. of utter absence of morals. "
The picture is an unhappy one. but
is 1t not the legitimate result of an edu-
cation that has inculcated the sacred
right of physical force. that has taught
violence as a proper means of gaining
desirable ends. and that has found in
breach of faith and the insolent violation
of obligation? When a government pub
fishes with satisfaction a long list of
private property stolen by its military
forces from the civilians OF invaded terri

the citizens except thievery and vio-

RESPONDING TO THE CALL

The government has asked that the
newspapers of the country reduce III
size where possible, and cut out all
surplus numbers of each issue. ms
request has been made owing to
shortage of paper stock. In order to
comply with this war time regulation
the Gazette will return to the old six
column size after the first of Sep
TENDER, unless there should be a
change in the regulations by that
time. It is our aim to comply with
every request of the government dur
ing the continuance of the war If that
be possible. In this connection we
desire to add that there are few
subscribers that we have been carry
ing for several years. We trust those
subscribers will pay up all arrearage
so we will not be compelled to cut
them of.
