Attorney lewis further declared “No one can say that erime is not on the increase in Prooklyn. The crime wave is here” And in advance of this admission of conditions In one part of the metropolis came the resigmation of Mrs. O'Crady, deputy police commissioner because of the conditions that prevail and are tol- crated by the authotities. In his denun- ciation of the methods followed is a scathing indictment of the responsible authorities and a revelation of condi- tions under which she would no longer serve and which are contributing to the state of affsira in the police force of that big eity. .

There have been reductions made in o number of federal employes since the war ended, but the national civil service commission makes it evident that the number is still Jarge when it shows by Its report that there was in July on the government pay roll one em- ploye for every 160 persons in the coun- try, women and children being included. There is thus litte wonder. that it de- clares that it is impossible to paint a rosy picture of the = tion, and the showing is made all the worse when the report shows that ome out of every 68 employed in gainful occupations was a government worker. What the ratio would have been dur- g the high water mark of government cmployes is not given, 1t would have been some different but in view of the way In which the payroll was swelled and the large number still maintained, though the war ended iwo years ago, nnd the sersistent clamor for eilminat- Ing neediess expense there appears to be oxeellant reasons for the intimation from republican ecircies that the gov- crnment employes will be cut a quarter of a milion in the effort to cut down Xpenses. The ocountry desires the ending of the poriod of waste. The knife must be ap- slled wherever pruning is justified and from mere thon one ‘source are reasons furnisbed for elimrinating the dead wood.

It is what is sought by the lsague of nations, but under the present stato of affaire, while the\nations may be anx- feus to bring it ut and to contributy to the plan to prevent atrife, it s im- poszible 10 make much headway be- cause of the lack of a general under- standing and the view that it is neces- sary to be adequately propared egalnst any possible hostlle move. This ls well fllustrated by the recent statement made by Japan In connection with the question of checking naval ex- pansion, which was to the effect that Japan oould not consider such a thing as long es the United States was mak- ing blg additions to its navy. [} Britain is still the leading na- val power. Becauss Germany has been disarmed it' does not see the necessity of making such great outlays for naval equipment. In this country because we JrTe DOt @ member of the league the ad- ministration policy is that we should continue to add to our means of de: regardless of what it costs. We haven't reached the time when a navy can be dispensed with, any more than have other nations, but it is perfectly evident |} that we camnot proceod along the line of getting the best navy in the world without exciting = suspicion or without the expenditure of a large amount of money, and such expenditure is not ip keeping With the demand for retrench- ment. 4 With coantries in a wild scramble to tuild navies just because others are do- itg S0, Whem this needless expenditure of money could be avcided, the move made by Serator Borsh is not only nimed in the right direction but ought to bear good fruit.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAXN HISTORY BALTIMORE MOB VIOLENCE IN 1812 There is an interesting episode ia lr'e; life of the gallant “Lighthorse Harry” Lee, of Revolutionary fame, with ~Khich very few are familiar.

In his annual report Secretary Wilson cf ths department cf labor urges that machmery be set up oversess for th: purpose of regulaiing immigratin by having it work in cooperation with for- tign governments that aliens. may de- termine before thcy break up their homes and come way across the ocean Whether they can be admitted ¥ this cuontry. Such would mean not only much benefit to the aliens but to the steamship companies and to the immi- gration authorities In this country. ~There were nearly 12,000 excluded last year at ports ef entry in this country amd in all probability there were <but few of those cases where it could not have been determired on the other side that they would not be clicned to enter ths CTnited States, Much the same problem 18 being faced in Canada. In the dominion the law requires that immigrants shall come thers by. “ccntinuous passage.” The stopping over in another country mway be a sufficient reason for a refu- 4l of admission to Carada after a Ca- radian port is reached. What lhis, means to those Who lave crossed the ccean and acs- apparently desirable is indicatez by reports to the effect that immigrants have jumped overboard to perish rather than to go back to Fu- Tope. It is not surprising therefore that Canada wants to know, “Is there no more h'lmne method of applying the check than “after such people have reached the very gates of Canada?’ By the regulation of immigration from the other sids, as has been done to some axtent, and as is recommended by Secretary Wilsen, there would be overcome this very trouble that Canada refers to, ard the injustice of which it recognizes. | Theze are many instances where pub- licity camveigns are resorted to in or- cer to attract immigrants. Eut whether that is the case or not, there appears to bs an excellent chance to play fair 2nd avoid congestion and trouble by stopping at the sourcs those who cannot be admitte]. And in that effort there is sufficient reason why other countries should assiet in the work.
