THE CRIME WAVE IN CITIES
Nv Richard Snillanc

1t may seem puzzling that with the census of
the churches of America showing the greatest in
crease in membership in any year in the history
OF the country and with ending of war that
had the greatest of moral appeals there should be
recorded more crimes Of violence and of stratagem
than ever before.
What is the explanation?
In some cities such as New York and Philadel-
phia there is an epidemic of highway robbery. In
the former city there has been wild west flavor
by the "holding up of trolley cars by bandits who,
after gathering their plunder fled in automobiles
In the latter city the local police seemed incapable
of handling the situation and the army officers
lent military police to help out This was not done
until thugs not only robbed man in the Pennsyl-
vania station but stripped him and there was a
"hold up in of the corridors of the city hall.
Even female member of the family of high
police official was a victim of highwayman and
burglary, purse snatching and blackjackng be-
came SO common that there was demand for the
death penalty in cases where the robber was armed
with deadly weapon. a
Students Of history see nothing unusual in this
wave Of crime Such manifestation follows every
great upheaval even if localized as in the case of
the Galveston flood and the San Francisco fire,

Nothing so cataclysmic ever was known to
man % this war. We do not appreciate in full
the changes wrought and the depths to which men
were stirred. The army Of the careless and the
shiftless was merged into the army of the useful.
The army of hoboes was drafted somehow into the
great body Of toilers. Beggars disappeared from

DUE NOTICE IS GIVEN

Thirty-seven republican members Of the new
senate served notice that the league of nations
covenant in it's present form is not acceptable.
They do not bluntly say that they would refuse
to vote for its ratification but they do say that the
covenant should not be accepted by the United
States in the form now proposed
They do say that the nations Of the world
should unite to promote peace and disarmament.
They do say that the terms of peace with Ger
many should first be settled and signed, and that
the proposal for league Of nations should then be
taken up for careful and serious consideration.
A small group of democratic senators have
already shown their disapproval Of the present
covenant There are other republican senators
who could not be reached or have not made up
their minds, but who on a test would join the
thirtyseven. u.s. therefore, quite possible that
majority Of the new senate wants the covenant
amended in important particulars. At any rate,
the two-thrds vote needed for ratification cannot
be obtained, unless the covenant is suitably
amended.
The strategy of the Lodge resolution is mas
ter]y. 1t has been stated in some of the dispatches
that the presidents plan was to return to Paris,
secure the final approval of the covenant by the
peace conference, have it Incorporated as an in
tegral part Of the peace treaty, which would imme-
date]y be signed by all the high contracting par
ties' except the United States. The president
would then return, make speaking campaign for
the treaty, and at last, when everything was in
readiness, call congress together in extra session
and say to the senate: "Sign here on the dotted
line" In such case it would be said that the senate
ought not and could not stand out against the rest
of the world and by it's cOntumacy DELAY peace
treaty so sorely needed.
If such were the train of events it is plain that
the Directing senators would be placed in posi-
ton of extreme embarrassment The power of the
president to force ratification would be tremer-
dous
But the Lodge resolution puts different face
on matters. Ample notice is now given that the
rights and interests of the United States must be
safeguarded by suitable amendment Of the cove
nant, if it is to be ratified If this is not DONE
responsibility for the situation created will rest
upon the president, and not upon the senate

A debt-collecting agency which Is
run as a part Of the regular postal
system Is the newest Improvement
of the postoflces of Austria. Despite
the novelty of the enterprise the
plan has worked admirably, so that
thousands OF pounds are collected
annually by the postmen throughout
the Austrian empire. The system is
very simple. Suppose a tradesman
in Vienna has an account due from
a customer in, say, sucL a distant
town az Budapest, which he wishes
to collect. Distance does not matter
in the least. lie merely sends the bill
to the postotiice in the capital,
whence It is ut once transmitted to
the pos Office at Budapest. There the
postman presents it to the debtor,
collects the cash, and RENTS 1t to the
tradosman By postman. In the event
of payment being refused, which, of
course, sometimes happens, the cred
ito2 is promptly appIi5e3 Of the fact,
and valuable time is thus frequently
saved.

that the Englishman puts trees in his
shoes, which are polished with the

Croases the leather into the shape Of
the foot and the shoe loses its smooth
