ShreWd Criminals
Central Europe
Jumping Lines

Vienna Sept. II CA. P. by Mail)
I The many frontiers of central
, Europe, in come cases no farther
apart than state lines in America
are great help to criminals. and
much of the recent increase in a GER
tain type of crime in this part of the
world is laid to the ease with which
forehanded offender can skip into
another country and claim sane
tuary.
This aspect of things has been
brought out clearly at the Interna-
tional Police Congress that has just
come to an end in Vienna. 1t
would appear that Determinations,
forgeries. embellishments and thefts
are committed with relative immun-
ity. granted the criminal has vised
passport in his pocket, and gets a
start a few hours on the police.
False passports sometimes serve just
as well as legitimate ones. The pur
suing police often as not are unpre-
pared to follow and must go through
| the slow channels of diplomacy to
get permission to cross a nearby
frontier.
Crimirality has assumed vast pro-
portions since the close of the war.
| Vienna is on the crossroads leading
to many countries. and has become
! the sporting ground of innumerable
! bands of interna tional thieves and
i adventures. The Vienna police ad-
NIT that the city is overrun with
! foreign criminals from all parts of the
world, and every day disclCses new
! methods of operation. In 1919, of
! 1913 persons implicated in the forg-
F.; ing of currency, only Is were for
~ 80 Go,
, eigners was 3O3 out of 4S6. There
are issues of false checks. pick
pockets. hotel and railroad thieves.
! burglars safe crackers. Adventures,
and imposters without number. In
nine cases out of ten they make
| good their escape because of the
! inability of the criminal officers to
! follow them up beyond the frontiers
| of their own country, and because of
| the time that is invariably lost be-
| fore proof of identity and the circum-
| stances of the crime can be placed in
! the hands of the police authorities
| of the new place of soiourn of the
| malefactor.
The criminal has the advantage of
; the police at every turn. it would APP
pear from the discussions before the
: congress. He takes advantage of
every Improvement in travelling con-
ditions. and every new conquest of
! science. Not so the police. who are
| local in their activities and have no
! international character. Many exist
| ing formalitieS must be swept aside
| before the police can even hope sue
! cessfully to cope with their astute
| opponents.
To this end a resolution aimed at
Z hny iy,tn
ton and intercourse was accepted by
| the congress. 1t will later he sub
mitted to a plenary session and. If
acceptable. then go to the various
governments concerned for ratifca-
i ton.
In the meantime the field for the
malefactor is open, and the Crime
wave is rolling on. increasing as it
| travels.

England Places Her
Taxes TOP of List

London, Sept. 14-(A. p. by MalD
At current rates of exchange taxa
ton in Great Britain is almost three
times as heavy per capita as in the
United States. according to official
figures compiled in London. The
latest figures drawn up show that in
Britain the taxation is S72.44 head.
in the United States $3.50, in France
S2439. and in Italy $11.S1.
In issuing these comparisons, the
British have challenged as a COM
plete misrepresentation of their own
official figures the scale which NJ.
Dimnet Of France presented to the
Institute of Politics at Williamstown,
Mass, recently. He was quoted as
saying that Prime Minister Baldwin
bad given figures showing the taxa
ton in France was $SS a head. in
Great Britain $50. and in the United
States $28 a head.
Heretofore figures given by Mr..
Baldwin and the British treasury

countries have always teen in the
respective currencies of such coun-
tries, it is said. The latest are:

istrators.
From trustworthy figures the fol-
lowing comparisons are made:
Trackage: In March of this year
the occupation authorities were US
ing SOS miles of track, and in July
the latest month on which figures
are available-they were using 2,130
miles. The whole system in the
Rhineland and Ruhr occupied areas,
as operated by the Germans before
the occupation, consisted of 1850
miles of track. Since very few miles
are still being operated under Ger
man management, therefore. some
5000 miles of track are still rust
ing.
Personnel: In March 1850 French
and Belgian train operators, six Ger
man trainmen and 1850 German aux
Hilary workers were employed on the
occupied system; or a total of 13.446
persons. In July, 1888 French and
Belgian trainmen, 357 German train
men and 1924 German auxiliary
workers. total of 24.964 persons
were employed. Before the occupa-
ton the total personnel, including
officials and workmen, amounted TO
267.000. OF this number. about 200.-
600 have left the occupied area. or
nave Deen expelled, leaving ABOUT
$4,000 former employees still in the
occupied zone to do whatever
emergency work they can.
Passenger Traffic: In March 6O0.-
600 passengers, including German
civilians and military travellers,
We're carried on the trains. whereas
in July the passenger traffic had in
creased to 2,410,000 persons, of
whom about two thirds were German
civilians. This of course. was de-
spite the German edict, tacit or for
NAL. against the use of French trains
by German civilians.
During the months of October.
November and December. 1922, the
passenger traffic over the German
managed lines, judging from the
number of tickets sold. amounted to
97,254,000 persons, making the
monthly list of passengers about
32.41S000, as compared with 2,410.-
600 carried on the French trains
during July, 1923.
