a Rte Crime in Germany n and England By the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory Coppticht, 1018, vy The Press Publishing Co, (The Now York Krening World), Te is no arguing with facts, and I want to tell a few facts here about crime tn Germany and in England, to show the difference in moral results between German “Kultur” and English culture, ‘The statistics for Great Britain—that is, for Eng!and, Wales, Scotland , @fd Ireland—are ken from the “Reports of the Home Office,” which “ were, of course, compiled by the British Government, and the figures for © Germany are takap frum the “Keports of the Imperial Statistics Office,” Berlin. One other «tatemens eects to be made before going further: that the » Population of Gurmany at the tite of the publication of the statistics was e@bout ONE-THIRD GREATER than that of Great Britain, But after due \ glowance shall have been made for this fact, che difference in the crim tnality of the rwo corptries will stand corth in ail its amazing proportions, And here are the figures, giving the aumoer of emminais tn Germany @uring the *en-yexs period 1897-1907 and in Great Britain for the ten-year period 1900-1910 with other interesting statistics. J Malicious assault, in Grem Sritain, 1,262; tn Germany, 172,15% Murder, in Great Britain, 97; tn Germany, $50. Mlegitimates, tn Gros Britain, $7,041; In Germany, 178 U@ Divorces, in Grea Britain, 968; tm Germany, 20,340. Malicious destructhon of property, in Great Britain, 856; In Germany. » R759. Arson, in Great Brttain, 778; m Germany, 610. These Ggures are authentic, and they unfold « tale that ts wall salou Seated to make us “sit oy and think” like @ house afire. Take the first ttem—172,153 cases of MALICIOUS ASSATI/T agains omy 1,226 cases in Grewt Britain! In what thunderous tones does that fact proclatm the brutality of Ger Many as compared with Great Britain For every man in Great Britain who, for the time being, loses his self-control and {n spirit becomes @ brute, ere are one hundred and seventy: in Germany! If it is true, as many of us belleve, that “Home ts the heart of the world,” that the one husband of the one wife and the one wife of the one * Susband, in their unstained home, with their children about their knees, fs the glory of the state and the only guarantee of its perpetuity, then it es goes vithout saying that Germany fs in a bad way. If you don’t believe It, glance once more at the figures on DIVORCE and ILLPGITIMACY, And this ts the breed of men who set out to impose their civilization pon the world—thelr wonderful “Efficiency,” with its utter disregard of the decencies and refinements, the kindnesses and sympathies which lend to our existence its only beauty and worth. The more wo think of it the greater becomes our amazement at the fact—that SUCH a people should have attempted to master the world and it make all other men like unto themselves!
