Raymond was last night called to the
war by our king, and ut noon today
ne and his 600 men will ride FORTH"
"But who will defend the castle If
old Earl Edmond comes against it in
the lords absence?" asked the father.
II think there is small fear Of that" !"
replied the wife:
So at noon the long line of prancing
steeds, headed by the lord, rode down
the road and was soon lost to sight.
One September afternoon Ivan
walked to the summit of hill, from
which he could see the surrounding
country for miles. A Pickering light
caught his eye. There was long pro-
cession Of men winding across the
valley, and all were clad in glitterlng
armor. They were keeping close to
the shadow of the woods, but when
they crossed the sunlit path their
swords flashed back the light brightly
At the head rode a huge man on a
black horse and nearby another car
ried banner on which was black
eagle.
ut is old Earl Edmondp exclaimed
Ivan. HE is coming to attack the
lords castle in the absence Of the
owner"
Then far below Ivan noticed that
not far from the castle was a large
bridge. and below 1t rushed mighty
river.
"The earl will camp on this side of
the big bridge this evening In the
woods" said the boy aloud. "And by
morning will come over to take the
castle. II the timbers holding it can
be cut through tonight the wicked
men will fall into the river"
With this he ran to his fathers
shop and got an az. Within an hour
he was at the bridge and had run to
the other side, near the castle. Sc
lecting one of the big. strong posts
which upheld the weight, he began to
cut, and for two hours he kept at the
work. At last the beam was easily
broken In two parts. He then took
the other post, and after three long
hours of hewing and resting, he man.
aged to also sever that. The bridge
would now fall apart were anyone to
walk on it. But by placing several
planks over the hole Ivan made 1t look

Investigator Tells Why Tolerant
America" Is Plagued With
Murders and Thefts.
TASK OF POLICE MUCH HARDER
Neither the Police Of London Nor Paris
Would Be Able to Cope With Crime
In New York o. Chicago, says
Raymond 3. Fosdick.

New York.-Tolerant American cities
are overrun with criminals to greater
extent than metropolitan districts in
Europe and neither the police Of Lon
don nor of Paris would be able to cope
with crime in this city or Chicago, ac-
cording to Raymond B. Fosdick, who
made public statistics compiled for the
bureau Of social hygiene.
'"The police Of an American city are
faced with n task such as European
police organizations have no knowledge
o." said Mr.. Fosdick in giving statis-
tics from one part Of his forthcoming
work on american Police Systems" !"
The metropolitan police force Of Lon
don, with all its splendid efficiency.
would be overwhelmed in New York,
and the brigade de surete Of Paris,
with its ingenuity and mechanical
equipment, would fall far below the
level Of its present achievement II 1t
were confronted with the situation in
Chicago"
Mr.. Fosdick discusses the relation Of
heterogeneous population in America
10 the crime rate, and concludes that
preponderance of crime in this country
ID augmented by unassimilated or
poorly assimilated races.
We condone Violence.
TT must not be supposed, however,
fhat our foreign and colored popula-
e1on is the sole cause Of our excessive
crime rate" continues Mr.. Fosdick. "If
She offenses Of our foreign and colored
races were stricken from the calcula-
lion our crime record would still great
" exceed the record Of western Eu.
rope. With all its kindness and good
nature the temper Of our communities
contains strong strain Of violence.
We condone violence and shirk its pun
ishment.
"As to the fact Of our excessive
criminality the statistics furnish star
fling evidence. London in 1915, with
. population of 7,25OOOO, had nine pre-
meditated murders. Chicago, one-third
the size Of London, in the same period
mad 105, nearly twelve times London's
total. In 1913 Chicago had IA more
murders than England and Wales. In
1919 the nummber Of murders in Chi
eago was almost exactly six times the
humber committed in London.
I'm 1918 New York had six times
more homicides than London. and ex-
eeeded the total homicides Of England
and Wales by 81. This contrast cannot
pe attributed to the peculiar conditions
IN London induced by the war In each
Of the years from 1914 to 1918, inclu.
eive, New York had more homicides
than occurred IN London during any
ehree-year per'o previous to the out
break Of the war in 1914.

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?
BY c. N. LuTis
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"sHALL" AND "WilL."

A MONG the most common errors
"A In the use of English, and one of
the most difficult to avoid. is the con-
fusion Of "shall" and "will." The rule
IL that in the first person. either SIN
gular or plural. "shalp must be used
to indicate a future action. For ex-
ample, say II shall go to church to
morrow" 1--WE shall meet you there :"
do not say twill co." "will meet"
But II you desire to express determine
ton, use "will;" for example. II will
60. and nothing shall prevent me I"
1--WE will be obeyed."
In the second and third persons the
usage In regard to "shall" and "will"
Ia exactly opposite to the usage in the
first person. The verb twill" ex-
presses the future and shall" Is used
to denote determination.
An amusing case Of misuse Of the
words twill" and "shall" is found in
the story Of the Frenchman who fell
into river and cried: II will drown.
and no one shall rescue mew
The rule In regard to SHOULD" and
would" is the same as that govern
ing the uye Of "shail" and ''will."

HOW IVAN WON

IVAN was a poor boy, but very
L ambitious one. His father was a
blacksmith, and when the great lords
would come by in their armor to have
their steeds shod, Ivan would sit by
the forge and gaze In wonder at their
handsome array.
One day Lord Raymond rode up
with his beautiful daughter accom-
panying him on a pony. Ivan ad-
mired the young girl as she sat wait
ing for her fathers horse to be shod.
''Have you heard the news, father?"

The heavy horses trotted on to the
bridge. while Ivan hid in the bushes
at the far end. At the head still rode
Earl Edmond on his black charger. He
neared the side leading to the castle.
His horse came over the plank, 1t gave
way and down steed and rider plunged
into the river. The soldiers behind him
could not stop their horses, and hun
dreds tumbled into the water after
their leader.
Suddenly the sound of a bugle
shrilled on the air and Ivan saw COM
ing toward him along the river bank
the same Lord Raymond who had
marched away two months before.
Ivan told the lord how he had de-
feated the wicked earl and how the
castle was now saved from any attack
by the enemy
"Well done, my lad!" cried the lord.
You have done better than l could
have with all my men. You must
come to the castle and be part of my
guard, so when you are man you can
be knight
So Ivan took up his abode at the
castle. Years afterwurd, when he was
married to Adele and reigning over
the surrounding land, he had q great
pillar of stone erected at the bridge
to mark the spot where one ax defeat

Tell Of Their sufferinss.
The prisoners generally agreed they
had been unable to secure proper
medical treatment In the Russian
camps, and that their food had been
very bad.
At the close of the war there were
250,OOO Russians In Germany. The
German government estimates that
not more than 5000 Germans will re-
main In Russian camps this winter.
Before the Russo-Polish hostilities
began the Russians were being re-
turned rapidly, but It Is now estimated
at least 100000 Russians are still in
German camps, 10000 Of whom are

More Burglaries Here.
Equally significant Is the COMPARE
son Of burglary statistics between
Great Britain and the United States.
In 1915, for example, New York city
had approximately eight times as many
burglaries as London had in the same
period. In 1917 New York had four
times as many burglaries as London.
In 1913 the burglaries which the police
reported In New York were approxi-
mately two and a half times those in
London.
while war conditions undoubtedly
served to heighten this contrast they
were by no means entirely responsible
for it; in 1915 New York city had
more burglaries than occurred in all
England and Wales in 1911, 1912 or
1913. Chicago in 1915 had 532 more
burglaries than London; in 1917, 8,459
more; In 1918, s88 more and in 1919.
2,148 more.
Even more startling are the statis-
tics OF robbery. In each Of the four
years from 1915 to 1918, inclusive. New
York city had from four to five times
more rObberies than occurred in all
England and Wales in any one of the
five years preceding the war.
