SETS RECORD
 AS CRINELESS NATION
By ANDRUE BERDING GA. p. Staff Writer)

LONDON, Aug. 2C.-The cele- bration of Scotland Yards tooth birthday has furnished the ocea- sion for an exhaustive analysis of Englands victory over crime. The metropolitan police force was organized a century ago by Sir Robert Peel. whose name is preserved in the popular appella- ton hobbies It has been built up into an institution of such eff ficiency that England now claims to be the least criminal nation in the world.
 How great is the difference in crime between British municipali- ties and those of other countries may be seen in a comparison be- tween the two largest cities of the world. New York and London. York City, with population of The total of all crimes in New 6,0OO,O00, during one fiscal year was 333,0S3. The total for Lon don during the same period was l5,662, out of a population of 7,- 746,O00. In other words, London s weight of criminality was practi- cally four per cent that of New York.
 Closely associated with the Lon doner's exultation in this low fig ure is his relief that it is caused by moral rather than armed force. The London policeman does not carry revolver. His only wea- pon is a truneheon, or stick. which he uses only when he himself is attacked The bobby" is a re- spected member of the community and usually a magnificent speci- men of manhood. He walks un- armed into the most dangerous quarters of the East End of Lon- don. He has been known to ar rest six men who attempted to at- tack him merely by welding his baton assfduously.
 The Londoner believes that much of the crime in America is caused by the fact that the police are an 1 armed force Violence, he thinks breeds violence.
 In England the two undoubtedly major factors which conduce to the reduction of crime are the sue cessful detection of crime by Scot land Yard and other police organi- zations, and the prompt justice meted out to offenders. In the i Metropolitan area of London last year not a single murder was Jeff
 unsolyed. In every case tho murderer was uncovered ant 1 brought before the bar of a court Criminal justice is far faster il England than civil justice. It is no unusual event. for a criminal t6 be tried. convicted and hung with.
 in four weeks of the commission of his crime. Such rapid-firt
 punishment d e ters prospective criminals from mourning the risl of like fate.

Only One Signal He ard from Pliers Since Sum-
 day Morning
FATE OF TWO MEN IS
 CONCEALED BY ARCTIC
Believed Plane Might Have Landed Along Rocky
 Greenland Coast

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-The Arc tic Seas concealed today the fate of Bert Hassell and Parker Ora mer in their attempt to fly from Cochrane. Ontario, to Mt. Evans, Greenland.
 Not since three o'clock Sunday morning has any word come from Hassell from the air At Madison. Wis, only the let ter R" repeated several times has been heard. This, according to prearranged code of the Greater Rockford. indicated that the plane was 75 miles off Cape Chidley flying over the Davis Straits and the plane had com pleted approximately three quar- ters of the flight to Greenland.
 The Mt Evans station report ed no sign or word of the plane. The weather was partly cloudy in that vicinity Sunday.
 Don Mix. radio operator of Madison. who was in Greenland | as radioman with the Donald MaeMillan expedition, said the Greater Rockford might have reached Greenland but missed Mt. Evans. being forced to pick a landing place somewhere along the rocky coastline. In such 1 event 4 V said. 1t may be days before the fliers get word to tfle outside world if they succeeded in landing.
 There Is speculation as to why no effort has been made to com municate through the planes own wireless. Mix pointed out that difficulty might have been experienced in rigging a satis- factory aerial or the set might have been damaged in landing.

 Al Hendricks returning from Spruce Island, said his craft plowed through fish for two miles.
 The most accepted conjec- ture is that a submarine up- heaval catapulted the deep water fish to the surface and for some reason they were unable to return.
