Auto Stealing Becomes an
Epidemic
In almost every locality there nre
complainU of mi to stealing and thu
habit appears to bu taking tho form
of nn epidemic. It was reported last
week that ten machines were stolen
In Portland in one day, and while the
traffic In this line has been compara
tively (juiet in this community there
nre countless other localities which
have reported thefts of this kind. Per
haps one reiiHon for the trouble is that
auto stealing is not usually attended
wfth punishment sufficient to fit the
crime.
Kvcryhody knows what the pioneer
penalty was for borne Htealinjf. That
penalty WttH Hoflened in the course- of
time, ns transportation facilities im
proved, and the consequences of loaiii.r
one's horsf became lews serious. Still,
horse stealing has never sunk, in the
public mind at least, to the status of
a minor and condonable offense. There
lire, few more opprobrious terms, even 1
today, than "horseHhief."
With the horse vanishing, It niii'ht
be Biipposcd that similar opprobrium
would attach to tho sU'itllnp; of tho au
tomobile thut takes tlte horse's place
And yet, though car stealing Is more
prevalent in every city than horse
stealing ever was, the thief generally
escapes scot-free; or, If he is caught,
he gets off with an absurdly light sen
tence. The loss of one's enr, even tempo
rarily, is always an annoyinp; Incon
venience, nud often, ns in the rnso of
a doctor, may bavo serious conse
quences. Ail over the country there, is
an epidemic of automobile stealing.
Stern measures ouht to be ndoptod to
stop It.
The Ark;in4us legislature is consld
erintf a bill making it a felony to take
nn automobile for any purpose with
out tho consent of tho owner. That
nuty Becm rather harsh; hut sumelhhiK
of the sort has to be done everywhere
If the ownership of an automobile "by
the man who hn?i bought and paid for
it is to 'be Tnei'ted, ;

TWO VISITS.
A visit I paid to the wife of Sladc;
She bade me to go to glory.
A check I conveyed to the widow of
Sladc
Now that was a different story!
I called ono noon when 'twas certain
that soon
Her man would ho home for hi.;
lunch.
No word had I said of my errand with
"Fred,"
Hut hers was the womanly hunch!
She told me: "J know you are wanting
to show
My husband some schemes for in
surance: Rut you better not wait; I emphatical
ly atnto
He's burdened beyond his endur-
ance."
Well, I went so would you! For what
el;;n col i Id I do?
Hut I sotiirbt for her hubby Inter.
Then he did what wns right, though
wo kept it tight
From his wife, the insurance, man
hater.
.Not so much ns a pnyment
dragged.
Though he paid mo by stealth from
his worldly wealth,
In dread that ho might he nagged.
One fine largo day In tho month of
May
Came a tragedy unexpected.
Her good old Fred was discovered-
dead!
Fate often seems misdirected.
The witlow h grief wns beyond relief-
She was helpless beneath Its sway.
Vet down in her henrt did th's ijues-
tion stnrt:
"Where now is my living, pray?'
Twns mv fortunate fate to nnproach
her gate
With n draft for the full amount
Of the money due, which her husband
true
Hud placed to her check nccount.
Pid idle chide me? No, for her weight
of woe
Was lightened. She gloried then
That I'd sought to persuade beloved
Sladc
To tlo as do nil wbe men.
Problem of Unemployment
Not Serious.
If Secretary of Labor Wilson is any
wbere, m-ar right in his ehtiniale of the
labor .supply - and he ought to know, if
anybody dncs--thriv bits never been
much ground for fsn -of an epidemic
of unemployment.
Adducing the conference -of gov
ernors ami mayot-jt in Washington, Sec
retary Wilson mud: ''Kven in bimy
times we have about 1,0(1,000 utium-i
ployed. Our rvpot tt now indicate un j
Unemployment of about HoO.000 from ;
the di-diiets these reports cover. We I
cover about half the country. iKnihle;
that figure, mr.l you have only fiK)(- j
004 1 uni'iuplojcd."
This seems to indicate that uncm-1
ploymeut at pjoent, in a period of.
comparative dullness, and depression,
M actually less than it ued t,t W in
"busy times.' Hflw can thin be? The
nnswer is given in the secretary's
tttt,enient that ''we are now short in .
our normal Mipply of labor between
3,000,000 and .'..ooo.oon men." "
That is to Miy, we would probably;
need about 4,000,000 men monk than
we 4iave, to itpcrate our industries at j
full capacity. This situation is tin
combined resuMt of diminished iinnti j
gration ami b nhM- of so many '
men in military ncrvi.o. U can eisi';e

e all thn- additional men coming hon.' j

ureuHcd have been hitherto unknown,
What, specifically, are these primes?
An industrious Frenchman, M. Tan
ctcde Maitel, has done the world n
service by assembling in concrete form
t!ie particular offenses charged to par
ticular individuals in his recent book,
"What Will Ue the End of William II
and His Accomplices?" M.j Muriel
Ium compiled a list, u kind of Who':i
Who in International Crime, contain
ing 5711 high-placed Germans who may
with propriety be haled before tne
bar of justice. Must of the German
Waders who have figured in the war

M. Martel's list. Inevitably the kaiser
stands at the head, and then the crowi.
prince, Itethniann-Hullwcg, , 1 linden
burg, Mackensen and all the rest fol
low in all their hideous eminence. The
following arc a few of the specific
offenses which, according to M. Mnr
tel, demand the consideration of the
allies:
Vdfi Hindenburg: As commander-in-chief
m Fast Prussia ordered that
lireiid which had been found soaked,
in paraffin should be given as food to
the Itussian prisoners. Being at Roi
scl (Somme)'on the 10th of March,
1017, gave the order thut everything
should be destroyed, burned and pil
laged in the regions which the barbar
ians were about to evacuate. Was re
sponsible for the violation of tombs at
Curlcpont, Candor and Kolglisc in
March, 10J7.
Von Mackensen: Responsible for
thefts, incendiarism and tho execution
of notables and peasants In Uumnnia.
Ordered about 1000 Rumanian chil
dren, 10 to 17 years of nge, to bo
shot on the ground that they had con
spired agairiHt him. Stole 10,000,000
litre in the occupied parts of Human in.
Prince 'ltupprecht of Havana: Mas
sacred and hanged civilians in Rus
sian Poland in 11)15. Is responsible
for the deportations of Lille, Roulmix
and Tourcoing, accomplished with the
help of Von Grttcvenitz, military gov
nor of I.ille. Connived at the theft
of money from the deportees.
Von Kehulierfc:- Shelled a number of
old men, women and children whom he
had collected in the hospital at Brou
age, on the ground that they were
useless mouths." Caused thirty-one
girls to be carried off and placed at
the disposal of his officers.
Von Ilulow: Posted the following
notice nt Andennes on the 22nd of Au-
gust, 1011: ''It is with my consent that
the whole place hns been burned and
about 100 , people have been shot.'
Posted the following notice nt Namur
on the 'Join of August, 101-i: "Ten
hostages will be taken in each street.
If there is any disturbance in the
Mtrcet nil the hostages will be shot."
Kbiuss: Responsible for massacre?
til Gerhevtlli r and Fraimbois. At Ger
hevilUr alone sixty civilians weie as
:assinated. One of them, engaged in
IVd Cros work, was soaked in petro
leum :md buried alive.
Stenuer: Author of the following
outer of the day: ''All piisouers, even
if taken in large numbers, are to bt
put to death. No-living man U tphe
lei": hehind its.'1 ' -'. .
Von Graevemlrt: Military govenirp'
of I.ille. Carried :!0,000 civilians, in
ch. ding many women and children, into
.btvery, and told the bishop, who pro
tested, to hold his tongue.
Yon Oreicht: At Arlon, being drunk,
ordered the cxeculien of 117 hostages.
Laughed when he was told, on reeov
eiing sobriety, that the order had beer
carried out.
llleireu: Kesponsihle for the destruc
tion of hinant and the massacre of
mon than 000 persons, including !U
jW men, 71 women, an 1 17 children
under nine years of age. 0
Vn Manteuffel:iO redUie burn
ing of IxtuTifln and the expulsion of
10,000 civilians from j.he town.
Von Rodeiski: Gave a forma'0order
tliat all Cossacks who surrendered
iHbouid be shotQr hanged.
Major vorwBulow: Author of the de
struction of Aerschot. 0rdei4d 150
civilians to be -lot. Compelled Mie
their arms in the air, for six hours,
witnessing the conflagration.
Kberlein: Roasted, in an arrtcle
printed in the Munchner Ntuest Nach-
richten,that hy- had compelled civil
ians to march in front of his men as
:i screen against the enemy's fire. ,
Von Tirpiu: Responsible for the
earlier-submarine outragen.
Von Capellc; Responsible for the
later submarine outrages. Gave
stringent orders that hospital shipf
were not to be spared. '
After reading such specification5; as,
these, the learned di-riuiaitions of in,
ternational lawyers that no machinery
exists for bringing the perpetrators to
punishment makes little impi-eion
The world is net so mt h mtere ted
now in legalistic complexity's as in the
exact apportionment of justice-There,
ii a wdl-knuwi: pi iiu:i)i!e tii.tt a wrong
which is not punished h n wrrmg which
;s condoned, and, should tne civilized,
powers now assembled nt Versailles,
ignore such depredations as the.ne they
would admit that they were ju itifiaMc
practices in civilized warfare. Ur.lett; '
Von Tirpltz and Von Capclle arc pin-
ished for murdering women and chd- '
dren on the high seas, then thin kind ,
of warfare would be practically tu- j
larizcd in the future. If Maekenser. '
is permitted to shoot a thousand IL;
m inian children and suffer no oen.J
ty, :f Von Schubert is permitted to
shell old women on the ground that
they nre "useless mouths," if Kiau: h
permitted to soak a Red Cross work j
er in petroleum and burn him alive j:
if Von Graevenitz is permitted to car- i
ry 30,000 civilians Into slavery, whatjj
complaints can the world make if,
things like this happen in another
war,' Jf these men did not commit,
these crimes, of course they should
not suf-'er for them, but the only way
to determine that is by an orderly ju
dical proceeding. Such a proceeding
will accomplish more than merely to
bring the accused to trial. It would
place eternally upon the records the
precise facts regarding the German
ntrocitles and forever remove !he sub
jet frori the field of controversy. All
the. firat-hande witnsses cou'd g upon
the stand, state exactly what then
own eyes have seen, and thu:, in e'm
ing generations there would be little
field for argument or discuss:on. Cer
tainly the peace conference owes it to
history to make this record as com
plete as possible. If the facts coin
cide with the chnrges made by M.
Martel and countless other inve;t:ga
tors and observers, then the common
sense of mankind will have little diffi
culty in fixing the punishment.
