No Crime Wave In
England, Declares
Former Detective
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH,

London May. 17.-Great Britain
is in the midst of a crime wave, or
a least in the midst of wave OF
criminal news.
with murder stories. suicide tales,
sensational court cases Of one kind
and another.
Yet, sir Basil Thompson, formerly
a Scotland Yar1 chief, declares that
there is actually NO crime wave ovei
Great Britain.
IF one were to judge from GER
tain superficial indications a wave of
try declares Sir Basil. Probably
at no period in our history has there
been so brisk a market for detail of
criminal trials.
Just before the arrnistice there
were gloomy forebadings) about what
would happen when men accustomed
to hold human life and PROPERTY very
cheap came home. There was to be
an epidemic of murder and robbery
by violence. and when a few cases
were recorded they were hailed as a
fulfilment of the rather obvious pro-
phecy.
Morbid Interest in Criminals
"But. in fact there was no such
epidemic. Both during the immedi-
ately after the war there were a few
sensational murders. but there was
tons during the wars of the last
century, when thousands of dis
charged soldiers roamed the country
crime. and executions and transpor-
the only possible remedy.
1.-THE statistics of crime are sensi-
| tive instruments for recording the
| fluctuations in the social health of
| community. and an examination of
| these statistics is reassrring. Per-
| haps the morbid interest which is
taken in criminals is actually a
| healthy symptom. There is nothing
| interesting in a phrase of life with
which one is in daily contact.

| Crime Fills Newspapers.
l Sir Basil may be right that there
is no crime wave, but merely a wave
/ OF interest in crime. The fact re-
| mains that crime and court news oc-
cupy the greater part of the space

To add a bit of spice to the days

aviator, charged with responsibility
for the death of beautiful Gertrude

Drive Begins

The Poppy drive of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars was officially launched
this week, when organization plans
were completed by Commander
George J. Knox, chairman of the COM
mittee which will make arrangements
for the sale of peoples. Arthur Rugg
was appointed head of the first divis-
ion; Mrs. Marie Rising of the second;
Russell Nugent will have charge of
that section of the city which en-
braces the center district; Mrs. Emma
William is secretary and treasurer of
the drive.
The Bridgeport allotment of $4,000
peoples has arrived and their distribu-
ton will be started Immediately. The
Victory Wreaths which have been al
lotted this city are comparatively few
and those who wish to purchase them
should place their orders at an early
date. These wreaths are used for the
decoration of homes and graves.
The peoples and wreaths which are
to be sold by the Veterans of Foreign
Wars have been made by the people
of the devastated regions of France.
The money with which they have been
purchased will be used to buy food
and clothing for these people. The
money realized by the sale of the pop
pies will be used by the local post for
relief and service bureau work.

Capper Attacks
Valuation Plan

Washington, May 17-(By A. P.)-
The American valuation again was
brought into Senate discussion or the
tariff bill yesterday by Senator Capper,
Senate Agricultural Bloc, charging
that ''the most Jealous advocates, OF
this system desired it because they
believed that by 1t they could CON
ceaI from the American people the
extent to which they desire to raise
rates" .
SIN effect he said. they admit
that they are seeking rates so high
as to be unpopular; that they are en-
deavoring not to represent the will
of the people, but to fool the people"
He predicted that the real propa-
ganda" for American valuation was
coming in spite of the action of the
senate finance committee in abandon
ing it in favor of the foreign valua-
ton, and that 1t would be launched
by those who desire excessively high
protective duties On manufactured ar
ticles.'' He added that manufactur-
ers were not content with tariff rates
that would equalize their position in
competition with foreign producers,
but desired IAN exclusive position in
the American market
II believe he said, that America
valuation. if incorporated in the pres
ent bill, would have the same econom-
ic and political effect as did the con-
ceaIed protection in the compensatory
duties of schedule x Of the Payne
ompelled- to state that schedule K of
the tariff act was indefensible. The
opponents of the bill were able to at"
tack it more successfully merely be-
ed was concealed. In the same way
American valuation If Incorporated m
the present bill would weaken the
position OF the Republican party. 1t
would almost certainly conceal an
excessive amount OF protection which
would be difficult to defend"

MOVIES

If you've ever been fascinated by the glamor of Monte Carlo, and wished you could go to that famous resort, here's a chance for you to satisfy that urge. For "Foolish Monte Carlo" the motion picture which is shown tonight at the Empress Theater, is a ticket straight to Monte Carlo-a ticket that admits you to the Casino and all the other famous places there, and lets you in for as thrilling and exciting a time as you've ever had.
 "Foolish Monte Carlo" is a splendid mystery story, which was actually filmed in Monte Carlo by an Ameri- can director, with American actors. It tells of the doings of the Black Spider, famous and mysterious crook, who terrorizes the brilliant frequenters of Monte Carlo, and pulls off one big robbery after another, in spite of po- lice and detectives. His operations af-
