disputes between Italy and Serbia.
What Will Germany Do?
The question which is causing most
worry and speculation here is TO what
extent Germany will take advantage of
the conditions in Hungary, which have
so professcdly alarmed the Allies, to
capitalize them for her own profit.
The German government is thought in
some quarters to have taken such a
pessimistic view of the progress Of the

1918. saw 1.200 saloon licenses auto
matically cancelled. While the war
days and their abnormal activities
have tended to obscure the direct
concrete results of prohibition, my
duties as police commissioner and
mayor have shown me no permanent
damage 10 the city's prosperity. On
the contrary have before me the
data to prove that the city has bene-
flied enormously.
Petty crime in Detroit has been re-
daced BY from sixty TO seventy per
cent. The house of correction pre-
yiousfy was Overlooking and in need
of expansion Now the commission
ers find their charges number only
one-third of the former total.
The visiting nurses of the board
of health report the Improvement in
horne conditions as beyond their
greatest expectations. Child welfare
has received an impetus which mil
1oins of dollars in appropriations
could not have affected.
Detroit merchants report a greater
business from the working classes
than ever before, and the banks show
a greatly increased number of deposit
tors There are those who believe
that high wages in war plantN have
brought this about, but Il is my per
sonal opinion as banker, manufac-
turer and city official that prohibition
should have equal credit with war
wages Collections also have been
improved.
The manufacturers were told that
prohibition would bring a labor short
age, but this has been disproven.
Factory records show conciusively
that the elimination Of liquor has re-
duced hardness, absence and acct
dents in the plants to say nothing OF
production increase.
