Crime Wave Already Has Begun
To Recede, Declares Deteotiv


ITO be sure, the sudden release upon the
land of millions of soldiers who had never
been away from home before who learned
the business of legal killing who had lost the
old respect for human life and private prop
erty rights, bound to result ir this
thing We. know by the generic name OF
crime wave. 1t always has happened after
war and after great disasters. Turn loose
upon the world a great number of persons
accustomed to dealing out and experiencing
misfortune and you may prepare for an un-
usual number of unfortunate occurrences.
Mankind is true in his reactions Under
favorable environment and under friendly
conditions he will recover from individual
disaster without injury to his neighbor. But
subject great number of persons to wide
spread disaster and they proceed, uncon-
sciously perhaps to contaminate the world.
The area contaminated is large or small In
direct ratio to the original force of the dis
aster or horror. The ancient but reliable
analogy of the pebble dropped into still water
is as good an illustration as l can summon.
What I'm getting at is this: The war
threw the moral standards of the world into
the ash heap. We shall have to retrieve
them and readjust them and ourselves The
multitude of criminals FOSTERING the world
to-day range in variety from the tyro pulling

vantage or the turOre Ihe crimes range

We're at the crest now 1t will be ebbing
from now on. That's my opinion, at any
rate.
Nowadays everything mysterious about

ity and especially American humanity is

At this time we are overwhelmed by crime
of various sorts The hue and cry is raised

fact that this crime wave condition follows
all wars; that IL is an inevitable heritage
Of fighting. Very well, they cry. why were

Only Take Out His First Cash.
And He Faces Much Red Tape, Toe

A visitor from abroad is only allowed now
to bring out with him what he brought in
with him, and rs when he enters the coun-
try he is~not questioned closely as to what
he is bringing and is never given a receipt
unless he insists on getting 1t. he finds HIM
self liable on leaving the country TO be heav-
lily charged for everything he has over and
above one overcoat two suits of clothes, two
shirts. two suits of underclothes. two pairs
of socks, two collars. two ties. four hand
kerchiefs and two pairs of boots.
Unless when he enters the country he
states that he Is wearing studs and sleeve
links. he has to pay heavily on these objects
when going out again.
These regulations seem very drastic, but
they are not drastic enough to prevent many
valuables. especially jewels. from leaving for
western Europe. II there were no regula-
tions at all the country would soon be
stripped Of everything. Books, furniture.
pictures, statues carpets, clothes would all
be converted into money.
Lenine said that the best way to destroy
capitalism was to debauch the currency. and
here In the Baltic States the currency has
been inflated and debauched to such an ex-
tent that one loses all respect for It, One

a gold 10 ruble piece. now buys you a waste
paper basket full OF dirty ruble notes-no
less than $40 of them.

, ten, twenty flies Where did they come
from? How did they dodge the screens?
All right. You answer it. I've been seeking
the answer for years.
I'VE have had this same condition Of at
fairs, ! repeat, after every war. It was not
so staggering after the Spanish American
war, but that was little war. 1t was pretty
rough after the civil war, the older chaps
tell us. 1t was not so bold or high priced
as this crime wave is. but then the civil
war lacked a great deal of the size, the
ferocity, the bitterness and the bloodshed Of
the great war. America was no Elysian
pasturage after the Revolution either. be-
cause the colonies were flat on their backs
and the crooks had pretty soft pickings.
Even the war with Mexico he'd its after
surge Of crime,
Come the psychologists then to tell US
that the young ex-soldier Is committing the
majofity Of these crimes and that we have
been unscientific in our method Of handling
him after the fighting. Had he been dealt
with along such and such scientific lines he
would not now be running amuck trying
out his knowledge of firearms upon the de-
fenceless public. l wonder II 1t ever oo-
CURED to any psychologist that not only did
the chaotic conditions Immediately following
the war find the moral fibre of the soldier
subjected to extraordinary strain, but that
the morale of the entire nation and every
man, woman and child In 1t had dropped q
few points? The war and its fever left the
police OF every city In the country sub
normal as to morale. There was general
letting down all around Everybody was off
trifle. Things went to pot quite easily II
permitted to. Could there be any more
appropriate time for crime wave? Is not
this the reason there is a crime wave?
This crime wave Is big. not dangerous
1t will be conquered. The police will get
back on their feet soon. Chicago took the
offensive and the crooks were soon on the
defensive. The same measures will work
here.
so it's impossible to prove that crime.
aside from the unnatural after the war wave,
is increasing, although II is fair 10 assume
that II is. The world Is larger there are
more people In 1t, the people have more
money there are more crooks among them,
there are more cops to deal with the crooks.
All things are relative. aren't they?
