British Official.

criminal of today knows that 1t Is
far safer and more profitable to swim
die hundreds than to rob one by
knocking him in the head"
1t has been stated that there are
hundreds of professional criminals In
England who the police are power
less to arrest. Many of these people
derive very large incomes by trading
upon the credulity of a certain sec
tion of the wealthy people. In the
vast majority OF cases the criminals
are never prosecuted either because
Of the difficulty of proving the fraud
against them or because the people
victimfzed do not want publicity.
The London spring social season is
the open sesame" for the English
"Raff1es," and they lose no opportu-
nifty of adding to their incomes
through defrauding the wealthy. One
OF the most popular means during
the last few years has been for the
criminal to gain entrance to various
social affairs and make it a point of
being seen in the company of well
known people. Then they proceed to
organize entertainments. beg dona-
tions for hospitals and by other
means to raise large sums supposed
ly for the benefit of war veterans
but which never get beyond the
pocket of the organizer. The police
claim to have knowledge of several
hundreds of such schemes, but they
are unable to act as the victims re-
fuse to appear in police court.
