"fekes Amazing Leaps Since
Hmerica Entered War.
Number ?f Complaints Throughout
Country Increases 20 Per Cent
in Six Months.
Nejy Yprk.?Since the United States
vm.tr.cujme ntu. uiic ti rwvv D?
in practically every city in the country
have taken amazing lea^s. The
member of complaints reaching various
detective headquarters through(
out the land for the last six months
wasJS? per cent higher than during the
sa?eperiod a year ago. The increase
has extended to practieaHy ail forms
of crime except murder and assault.
Commissioner Woods of tfee New
Y?rk city police department, has made
a special examination of the records
with a view to answering the question
as to tfe^ effect of the war on crime
and criminals. His contagions are as
i?Hows:
' "Crimea aeainst property have in
creased steadily since the United
States entered the war, and the reason
may be found directly in the economic
conditions which hare been
brought about by the war. Crimes of
"violence, except robbery, have tended
to decrease, but the decrease is to be
attributed not so much to gangs and
the imprisonment of the gangsters who
iformeriv afflicted 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 increased value of property. Silks,
copper, brass, foodstuffs and almost
every commodity have such an increased
value and are so readily salable
that it is worth while to steal most
anything, and the thieves act accordingly.
With the increase in values is
ti corresponding increase in temptation."

C. Lobert of St Louis Learns He Was
Born in Brazil, Not Germany.
St. Louis.?A deathbed secret, just
disclosed to Charles Lobert of St.
Louis by his sister, Miss Emma Lobert
of Saginaw, Mich., reveals to him he
^vas not born in Germany, as he has
believed, and consequently is not an
alien enemy. Neither does he have to
ask for naturalization papers or a zone
permit.
Lofcert always believed he was born
in Germany. He served in the Spanish-American
war. He used his honorable
discharge papers whenever he
^was questioned at a polling place on
election day. iLast week he went to a
; recruiting office to join the United
^States Guards &nd was rejected because
he was a German citizen.
He wrote to his sister and received
word from her that he was born in
Brazil while his mother was on a trip.
She had kept i t a secret through pride
an Germany, b it on her deathbed had
related it to her daughter, on condition
that she not reveal it to her brother.

Nurses Being Called for Duty to Meet ! ?
Needs of the United States
Army.
i
Washington.?Thirty-seven thousand
five hundred aurses will be needed in i
ihe army nurse corps of the medical "j
department, according to present esti- '
mates based on an army of 1.500,000
men. The present strength of the
corps is about 3,800. Increasing the *
enrollment by nearly 1.000 per cent in
a year is the task confronting the
corps.
Daily numbers of nurses are being
called for to meet immediate needs
in army hospitals in the United States r
and for duty overseas. The pres- ?
ent rate of enrollment does not meet t
the demands. Hospitals at National 2
Guard and National army camps still t
need 371 nurses to bring the quotas of ]
all up to the minimum considered \
necessary?65 each. j
In order to get the enrollments up i
to the needed number some of the requirements
heretofore imposed are be- i
ing waived. According to estimates of t
Uie nursing committee of the general i
medical board of the council of national
defense, there are between 80,000 (
and 90,000 registered nurses in the
country and about 200,000 other gradu- !
ate and practical nurses. (
Just as soon as immediate needs of 1
cantonment hospitals have been cared ^
for a reserve of 100 nurses will be or- 1
ganized for emergency service in the i
United States. Lakewood hotel, Lakewood,
N. J., has been leased by the
government for use as a general ftospi- i
tal for the army and provisions will <
be made for housing the reserve nurs- <
es there. This hotel has not yet been
turned over to the war department, <
but will be in a week or so. The nec- 1
essary alterations will be made as soon '
fis nmcticnhl^ and the 100 nurses for 1
the reserve will be needed in addition i
to the permanent, nursing staff of the 1
hospital. <

Denver, Colo.?Although widowed
and in straitened circumstances, Mrs. (
Clara Doss Burrows, one of the few i
living descendants of the famous
Adams family, urged her only son, Earl !
Gardner Doss, to enlist for service ic
Uncle Sam's fighting forces.
Tho Youn? man is now at the Mare .
Island Marine corps training station. ,
Young Doss' great-grandfather, Elijah

"toa party" in Boston Harbor just
prior to the Revolutionary war. Iiis .
grandfather, Gardner Adams, was a
cousin of President John Quincy
Adams, and fought in the United !
States navy throughout the war of !
1S12. The boy's uncle, another John
Quincy Adams, brother of Mrs. Burrows,
was with the Union forces in
the Civil war. ' 1
Mrs. Burrows sacrificed her sole sup
port wh^n young Doss enlisted, but, :
although she is aged, she declared she 1
would "menage to survive," and was ?

"An altar was improvised and elaho

the church services.
"Following the church ceremony the
zortege proceeded to a field adjacent

sides of a square, the belies being
placed in front of the graves on tlie
fourth side. An American flag, provided
by the French, had been placed (
Dver the caskets.
"At two o clock General Bordeaux,,
accompanied by his full staff, his in- \
fantry, artillery and engineer chiefs.
and a representative of the French j
corps commander, arrived and took,
position.
"The troops presented arms and the'
French field music and band played
1 funeral march. The chaplain performed
the religious ceremony at the
graves. Then General Bordeaux ad
vanced to the center of the square and
addressed the troops and then the
3ead. A copy of his address is attached.
"The company of United States infantry
fired three volleys and its trumpeter
sounded taps. All the troops

graves, saluted and departed. I
"Throughout the ceremony at the
graves French batteries from their positions,
fired minute guns, over the

"The entire ceremony was most im-i

TO BO RELIEF WORK
fad Cross Trains Women for
Civilian Service.
Series of Institutes .in Home Science
to Fit Them as Social Service
Workers.
Washington.?Scientific training and
~ xi i J.
umcieiu service are me Keynotes ut
!:he civilian relief work which has just
in-en inaugurated throughout the country
by the American Red Cross.
Contrary to the popular belief that
most of the Red Cross is being done by
untrained volunteer workers, the latest
venture of the organization is characterized
by a series of institutes jp
:iome science for the purpose of tramIn
-flen to do social service work
among the families of our fighting men.
"Financial aid for the families of
our soldiers and sailors is only a small
part of the problem which these families
will have to face," said Mrs. Walter
S. Ufford, head of the District of
Columbia Civflian Relief department
of the Red Cross. "There is an urgent
need for trained community workers
who can analyze the problem of tke
families to be served and bring th?fn
into touch with the community resources
which can help to strengthen
fnmilv life. Trained workers will be 1
required to cope with the abnormal
situation in which the war has placed
the wives and children of the men at
the front" |
The Bed Cross institutes consist of
a six weeks' course which follows a
syllable prepared by Porter Lee of the
New York School of Philanthropy.
Particular emphasis is placed by '
Mrs. Ufford upon the value of the ,
work outlined in the syllabus, not only
to relieve the stress of war difficulties,
but to meet tiie needs of reconstruction
that is to follow the war. Only
t.lu-miirh Sfiontilic offort. Mrs. Ufford
believes, can an adequate attempt be j
made to readjust the economic and so- j
cial relationships when disabled sol- j
diers and sailors come back from the i
front. I
