? them honestly they purchase then
from thieves.
Before the war German criminals
had a horror for bloodshed. A Rur-
der was so rare that when onei WAS
committed IL furnished material 1oI
newspaper stories for weeks and
weeks in a stretch. Now murder Is
one Of the cOmmonest crimes in
Germany. The soldiers that have re-
turned from the front have been so
accustomed TO killing that a human
life has no value to them And the
criminals at home have caught the
blood lust by reading newspaper ac-
counts OF thousands and thousands
killed in battle day after day for four
years.
Another effect Of the war on crime
I Is that the soldiers have lost all re-
spect Tor property This, however. is
not peculiar to Germany. You VIII
] find the same IS true in France and
! England, and even the United States.
BolsheVism aggravates this criminal
tendency in Germany and elsewhere
In my opinion, one OF the tasks Of
the league Of nations viii be close
cooperation is combating universal
crime"
The thing that seemed to worry
DR.. Lindenau most OF all was the
growing criminality among German
youth. He explained that the horrors
dren brutal while the pangs OF hun
ger had developed all their bad
traits and driven them to theft. At
the same time, he said, most German
children had been without the bene-
fetal influence OF home, the fathers
being at the front and the mothers
working in ammunition factories,
with nobody TO control their attend
dance at school.
Children Want Sweets.
The children want candy and
sugar" continued DR.. Liudenau- "But
usually they do not steal the sugar.
They steal the money with which TO
buy the sweets.

some poor children from 5 to years
old Not one OF them knew what an
orange was. They were too young 10
recolect the pre-war days when we
had oranges in Germany. This gives
you an idea Of what war has brought
on Germany's children--nothing what
ever TO bring JOY TO their hearts
Thousands OF young boys and
girls were recruited for the work va
Gated by the men called 10 the front
These young people suddenly found
themselves receiving immense wages.
Large incomes enabled them in in

Pleasures engendered laziness and I'M
Willingness TO work, and this state
OF mind developed crime. II was
easier 10 OBTAIN money for buying
pleasures through theft and robbery
than by working for Il. The dis
turbed conditions following the revo-
luton have not discouraged this idea.
All Crime Not Juvenile.
"Of course, all German criminals
are not juveniles. Starvation has de-
Veioped tendency 20 crime also

en- become lazy and weary through
malnutrition- They lose their fitness ]

we expected a short war with a
German victory, and so we sent the
cream OF our policemen and detec-
tives away with the rest OF our young
men," he declared.
DR.. Lindenau IS advocating the es-
tablishment OF regular detective
schools in Germany with Instruction
in psychology and all the arts OF
crime

tuition at Graz, but in Germany there
