German war criminals on France $
list will be tried before courts martial
in military districts where the crimes
were committed instead OF before the
civil courts. The Ministry of Justice
here has already prepared for the first
trials in Nancy early in November.
The first of the Germans TO be sum-

troops to make attacks on the inhabi-

Major-General Riedl, whose order to the

Shooting as sport for women has
increased greatly in favor this season,
and many fashionable women succeed In
getting good bags on the moors.
Queen Alexandra's taboo on shooting
for women was the chief reason why
some years ago. many women who had
figured conspicuously as good shots quit
using guns. The Duchess of Bedford.
known as one of tho best woman shots
of the King Edward era, quiet the sport
on this account There has been a
tremendous increase In the purchase of
guns by women this year, according tn
st. James street gunmakers.
Lady Rocksavage has gained prom
inence among the fashionable set as one
of the cleverest shots Of the season. she
uses a twelve bore, while most Oh the
women use sixteen bore weapons. the
gun Is Of special shape, slightly hghter
than that used by the men.
OF course they are dressing the part
too. with the result that many novelties
have appeared, one OF the most popular
being paddy caps, finished with mounts
of tiny feathers, and worn with yellow
mauye, sky blue and green tweeos.

Anti-fog workers, who for years have
been trying to make London brighter
by day, are greatly disappointed to dnd
the railroads abandoning efforts to burn
oil. In the midst OF the coal strike the
railroads started to convert coal purn-
ing locomotives for use as oil burners,
but now that coal is plentiful they are
going back to the old system
After two months Of the strike there
was a decided Improvement in the Lon
don atmosphere with high hopes that
those yellow days were passing, but
row the smoke Is again rising una

Of oil was successful, but the dual sys-

sion of all of the locomotives to oil
burners would leave them dependent
upon foreign sources of supply.

Instead of idling at the Riviera or
Deauville. Bernard Ponech, DunkirS
mushroom millionaire, probably will re-
turn to the plebeian task of throwing
coal into the furnaces of ocean liners
Ponech has been the centre OF interest
in his native town since his declaration
few days ago that he had inherited
3S,O00.0 900 francs from an uncle in Ar
gentina who had discovered and ex-
plotted gold deposits which had been hid
den since the days of the 1ncas.
Undoubtedly Ponech believes the yarn,
but the latest details from the channel
city indicate that some one has hoaxed
the honest mariner in an effort to OBJ
tain substantial stake with which
to negotiate the recovery of the sup
posed estate. When the rumor was
first spread Ponech received an offer
Of loan CT 100000 francs from the
local bank, but this was withdrawn
when II was discovered that he had no
papers TO prove his claim or even the
existence OF the fortune.
The man behind the game Is said to
have been Il Paris commercial agent
who alleged that he had visited the
Argentine estate but failed to bring
back proof, while n Bordeaux lawyer,
OF whom he had asked assistance. does
not appear in the French legal registers.

The Scotland Yard system, admired
and feared by the wrongdoer in the
four corners of the earth for half a
century, will be scrapped. The old
order Of things will be revolutionized.
A thorough reorganization Is being
directed by Gen. Sir William Norwood,
Commissioner Of Police. He has out
lined far reaching reforms.
AS result, London is soon to have
a new detective force recruited from
the best and smartest brains of the
metropolitan police. Some changes
already have been made.
"At present 60 per cent. of the
Criminal Investigations Department
is employed as inquiry officers" one
official says. "The department has
been allowed to become an inquiry bu-
reau with only small nucleus of the
staff real detectives. We have many
able men, but their energies have not
been directed in proper channels. II
is a tradition in Scotland Yard that

NOW 1t will be the duty of the de-
partment heads without partially OF
favor to tell when a man is getting
stale. During the last three years prog
ress has been made quietly until now
detective force of 500 has beer
equipped in such a manner as to enable
the men to take the field against the
forces of disorder.
THE expert criminal Is the most harm
full to society nowadays. 1t isn't the
dull witted fellow but the bright, alert
intelligent, well educated chap wht
stops at nothing. To meet this type face
to face Scotland Yard must produce his
equal In ability, skill and resourceful
ness. There's been too much merit giver
because of system that hitherto ex
listed. All this must be altered"
The official said that the new polio,
means that sweeping changes will b.
put into effect which will perhap.
change the complexion Of Scotland Yart
completely. but he was certain it vii

languages. made his headquarters II
Lille for several years subsequent to his
Moroccan experiences, buv constantly
travelled between European capitals. II

At the beginning of the European waI
he shirked French service but Joined the
Belgian army as a sergeant in an ar
mored car detachment He displayed
such devotion to duty and bravery that
he was awarded several decorations.
After the war he went to Manchuria
and posed as a French officer until his
deception was suspected by the head OF
the French mission there. whereupon

Nj. Leullier, prefect of police, has
decided to check up the motley popu-
lation of Paris. both French and for
eign, in an effort to obtain finger
prints or photographs of thousands Of
criminals who have obtained amnesty
since the signing of the armistice.
Identification cards, which hitherto
have been demanded only of foreign
ers who remain in France more than
two months, soon will be made conn
pulsory, with heavy penalties for fall
ure to obey this ruling. Such a card
VIII be issued by the police without
charge and will show the bearers
finger prints. Duplicate cards will be
kept and classified at police headquar-
ters.
According to the plan under consider
alton by the police, these cards will serve
as identification to their holders and will
all official and banking transactions here.
This will save delays, which have for q
long time been complained of by for
eigners doing business In Paris. For
the present the scheme will be confined
to Paris. but later it probably will be
made general all over France
The movies" have been condemned as
responsible in large measure for the
serious crime wave which swept France
In l.
marital tragedies which reflect against
France. but Gustave Lebon, well known
as the author of Mob Psychology" now
declares that the cinema Is not so re-
| sponsible for this as are the newspapers.
He would prohibit the publication of de-
tails OF any crime committed, suppress
all information regarding suicides, and
would not give the world any risque de-
tails of illegitimate love affairs, whicn
have always constituted the spicy fea
ture of the French press
NJ. Lebon differs from other French
psychologists In that he says every one
is not subject to such contagion. as he
holds the microbe of crime. like that of
la grippe or of typhoid, only attacks
| organizations which are already pre-
| pared for It,
"Juries which are organized to try
and punish crime actually provide the
most fertile field for contagion," he con-
| tinued. THE wholesale amnesty which
followed the signing of the armistice
was really nothing more than n form OF
contagion. inspiring pity. against which
society must defend itself.
'The releasing from prison of 1000
criminals of the worst type. whose only
aim was to rob and commit acts of vio-
lence. was the result of sympathetic
mental contagion, which did not take
into consideration dangers which were
| certain TO arise. A burglar could not
possibly develop a sanity character.
and therefore to hope that liberty would
result in lessening his inclination to rob
I'd commit acts of violence was nothing
| out folly. and for this folly France and
the rest of the world must now pay the
cost"

London, Sept. 10.
Keep to the left on the footpath will
likely become the rule in England after
four years of ceaseless effort on the
part of the Safety First Council OF
London. The council wants the side
walk traffic regulated the same as in
the streets, in order to eliminate the
irritating confusion now prevailing,
with everybody lodging every which
way, according to his own notion.
When you go left you go right; when
you go right you go wrong" is an old
London doggerel which 1t will be at
tempted to put into practice on side
walk traffic.
The Ministry of Transports has
agreed to n request of the council ask
ing the local authorities to issue an or
der to keep to the left. The council has
a strong argument in making the same
system prevail in the streets and on the
sidewalks, as visitors to London Will
quickly recognize.
People walking the sidewalk in the
same direction as wheel traffic ap-
preaching from behind are apt to ster
into the road without looking, and sc
suddenly that the driver often cannot
avoid an accident The council says
that the new rules will greatly benefit
and safeguard the public and make
walking easier.

stitched on.
Evening gowns with high collars and

provide for imprisonment of any doctor
who issues a false death certificate
through failure to carry out his Pro-

Numerous cases have been brought 10

the cause OF death. Near Limoges a
certificate was issued that three chill
dren of wealthy farmer had died OF
tuberculosis. There were nirnseruus
protests against the diagnosis and the
bodies were exhumed. Then II was
found that the children had been tor
tured and deprived OF food while scars
on the bodies showed death was due to
inhuman treatment.
In widely known cases. such as the

OF professional hdelity was shown. AL

reported to have killed himself by send
ing a bullet through his heart. when his
