'Paris.—The ‘dog. population: ef. the republic has been :Iiving, Sighting and auftering’ with the human population in resisting the German octopus, and The latest system. to be anfounced is that, following thé demands. of the Agricultural Society of Moulins, the government ‘is considering the, fritro- Guetion of! a bread card for dogs, a card that will entitle dogs doing use- ful work for the country to thelr proportionate share of dog biscuit. Since the first of the month an- other digcommoding. scheme-has taken effect. No gasoline. can be soli, even for domestic uses, etch as lighting, heating or cooking. The government stated energetic measures’ had to be taken, in view of: the fact ‘that the stocks of gasoline were almost ex- hausted and ‘it would be dangerous to permit them to become ‘further depleted. A suder shock for the entire male population of France, which smokes almost to @ man after reaching the age of twelve, came with the pubil- cation ofthe news ‘that there was no more tobacco’ to be had. Imported English, tobaccos are still to be ob- tained in limited quantities, but the price 1s prohibitive to ‘the average Frenchmaii, ; The reasons given for the tobacco shortage aré the increased ‘consump tion by the soldiers in the trenches and the decreased production and im- portation, due to the’ lack of bottoms, A good deal has been said about the establishment of a tobacco ‘card, but the ‘government has suggested that ‘a system of voluntary rationing be first tried out. If this 1s unsuccess- fol nothing will remain but the addi- ‘tion of one-more card to the rapidly growing list. ert in-a fighting | INCREASE IN CRIME Takes “Amazing Leaps Since America Entered War. Number of Complaints Throughout Country Increases 20 Per Cent in Six Months. New York.—Since the United States entered the war the crime percentages in practically every ‘city in the coun- try have taken amazing leaps. The number of cemplaints reaching. va- rious detective headquarters through- out the; land for the last. six. months was 20 per cent higher-than during the same’ period a:year ago, The.increase has-extended ;to practically all forma of crime except)inurder and assault. Commissioner Woods’ of the New York city police department, has made ‘a special examination of the records with a‘view to answering the question aa. to.the effect. of the war on,crime and ‘criminals, His conclusions are ag follows: “Crimes: against property have in- creased -steadily sincé the United States entered, the war, and the rea- son may be found directly in the eco- Domic onditions’ wiiich have been brought about ‘bythe war? Crimes of violenc ept robbery, have tended ‘but the decrease is to be Attributed. ‘not so mitch to: gangs! ind: the imprisonnient of the gangsters who formerly affilcted New York city.” Like Commissioner Woods, District Attorney Swann holds that the causes of Increased crime are economic, due to the war. “The explanation,” he says, “Is-in the fhereased value of property.
