CHICAGO, Dec. 17,—William Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago. called Charles Fitzmorris, former newspaper reporter, in his office and gave him the job of chief of police and this assign ment: “Clean Chicago up. Put every gun- man, criminal and bootlegger in jail.” ‘This happened only recently, but to- @ay Chicago is cleaner than any time in years. Fitzmorris, only 35, is the youngest metropolitan police chief in the coun- try and it ts generally admitted he is putting his new job over with a bang. First of all he called his police force in and said: “You are now starting on a clean slate. Charges of inefficiency have been made against many of you. I'll forget all that now. Every man must make good or get out of the de- partment. Chicago must be clean.” Next Fitzmorris served gamblers, bootleggers and criminals that Chicago no longer was_ their stamping ground, The demimonde did not heed him. So Fitzmorris stdrted raids of gambling dives and vice dens.| All those found in the places were taken to police headquarters. The whole city was invited to come) to jail the next day to look over the crowd to see if any could be identified with any recent crimes. Bertillion rec- rds were made of every man taken. ee Since then, raids have netted hun- dreds and the criminal class is about to “play quits,” realizing the new chief means business. On Fitzmorris’ first day as_ police chief he “‘scooped” the whole police de- partment by going out and arresting a bandit who had robbed a bank.

I then spoke to the men of my command and they agréed tht they would enlist in a body tn the regular British army, if allowed to form a unit compostd ex- clusively of Irishmen. This offer was conveyed to the government and also turned down. I then went to John Red- mond and told him frankly that unless the volunteers were allowed to enlist us Irishmen a rebellion was inevitable. Redmond didn’t see it that way and I jet the matter drop. Permission to car- ry the Trish flag, the green flag with a harp, in recruiting was asked and refused, so I saw nothing ¢lse to do but to join up with the army myselt and urge as many of my comrades to do so as I could, At this time Mac- Swiney and McCurtain were openly preaching the doctrine of ‘England's difficulties, Ireland’s opportunity,’ ap- pealing to the men to refuse to fight for a country that so evidently dis- dained their services, Notwithstanding this 10,000 men from-Cork joined the colors in the fiffst year of the war, out of a possible 13,000 eligible. After the rebellion .of 1916 there were no more enlistments from this district.” Shimek 22 eT RK Since the world war, many girls of Brazil are turning from the thirteen and fourteen year-old marriag: entering schools to fit thems business and the professions.
