vatcii xns SHOP LIFTERS

"Shoplifters are divided Into two daises, amateur and professional," said a former chief of police today, "la my experience I have found that the greatest Increase during the holiday season Is among the amateurs. I attribute this to the fact, that many persons desiring to make presents, but who have'nt the necessary money with which to ' purchase the goods, come in and take a chance.- They do not go in for the heavy stuff like furs,

dresses, hats, coats, muffs, ets.; they usually devote their time to taking the

small articles, like gloves, handbags,

Jewelry, handkerchiefs, ribbons and

stockings.

"It may astonish you when I state that it is often easier to catch the professionals - than it ' Is the amateurs. The amateurs work quickly and some

times do not arouse your suspicions,

They do less fussing around and often

do their stealing on the spur of the moment, when they ., see an article

they wish to possess. The detective

must have a very quick eye indeed to

catch the amateur. Professional Takes Time.

"The professional , does not work

quickly, but takes his time. He will

edge up to the counter, size up the surroundings and cast glances in all

directions to see if he is being watch

ed. These actions Immediately draw the attention of the detective and nine times out of ten the professional is caught with the goods before he gets

out of the store.

"The amateur probably exceeds the professional in nerve. I attribute this in some measure to the fact that the amateur does not give the matter

serious consideration before perform

ing the act. The professional from experience gives the matter hard, cold

thought, sizing up the situation from every angle. If his record is bad, he knows he is taking a desperate chance, and those reasons force him to do his work at times when he is reasonably sure he will get away with it.

can not sneak without praise, it

is entitled "Germany of Today," by George Stewart Fullerton, professor of philosophy at Columbia university.

and published by the BObbs-Merrui

company. The author s honest aim is to tell us the real facts about Germany without bias or prejudice, leaving us to our own conclusions. It is a book so clear and simple, and so sincere in tone, that it comes as an antidote to the quick-lunch, predigested stuff gotten up by writers whose talents would better be devoted to making dream-books, fortune tellers and horoscopes, or writing essays on "How to Grind Your Own Axe," oy I'Every Man His Own Historian." Professor Fullerton prefaces his book with a statement like this: "In this little volume I have brought together a collection of facts that may be easily verified by any one who has access to a public library. I have wished to present in brief outline a sketch which will give a Just conception of the political and social constitution of the German nation and of, the spirit with which it is penetrated. Owing to various rea

sons there is much misconception in this field among our countrymen. The United States of Germany is a young

and vigorous nation. So is the United States of America. The better the two understand one another the better for both, and the more profitable will be their mutual relations in the times to come. It is only just that I should say that any sympathy which I feel for Germany has no other source than an intimate acquaintance extending over many years. I have no German blood in my veins. My family has been American as long aa there has been an American nation.

May my little book be of service to

Americans. Book Review Follows. What here follows is a resume of this very timely and interesting gook. Germany is as much a nation as is the United States of America. We must not be scared by the word "empire," for this "empire" Is a union of states under a constitution the same as the United States. The United States of Germany have a national conscience, the same as we have. The Germans call themselves German . as We think of ourselves as Americans. Surrounded by powerful and jealous neighbors the Germans have developed more rapidly than we. In the very necessity of circumstances Germany had to unify and become strong or be utterly destroyed by France, Russia or England, or by all of them allied. That Germany is thoroughly United in spirit is seen by the fact that all classes stepped forward in this war for national defense" That the"kaiser compelled his people to fight for his own gloryis one of the grossest misconceptions among so-called educated Americans. These people are fighting for national existence just as we fought in 1861-65 for the union. The powers of the German federal government are the same as ours, and the German people under the German constitution enjoy the same rights and privileges . as the citizens of the United States of America. German "Bundesrat" is the same as our senate. The "Reichstag" is the "same as our house of representatives. Shows Gross Ignorance. Well-informed citizens in the United States have a gross misconception as to the German emperor. A high school professor said the other day in a publis address that the "kaiser is an absolute monarch whom the German people would be glad to get rid of." This is gross ignorance. The truth is that the German emperor holds his position by the consent of the people, who expressed their will in the adoption of the national constitution In 1871. He is virtually the president of the union of the German states. His official title is "German emperor" and not "emperor of Germany." The states do not belong to him; he be-

longs to the states. - His ' power as executive is more limited than that of the president of the United States. As' to declarations of war he stands Just where our president does a declaration of war must come from the people through their representatives in the lower bouse of congress, and this branch of legislation provides for the support of the army and navy. The emperor Is the commander-in-chief of the army and navy; so is our president. We have been taught that the term "emperor" means the tyranny of Tiberius, Nero, Caesar; and so no man of. modern times has been so greatly the victim of gross misconceptions, and so .much the sufferer abroad by the thralldom of names, as Emperor William. . He, is not a tyrant, but the president of a voluntary confederation of states which have come together on the basis of a con

stitution carefully defining the rights and duties of those who govern as well as those who are governed. The supposed dictatorial power of the emperor is a chimera. Every German citizen can vote. Every man has a

voice in his government. The British empire is the least democratic of all powers on earth, except Russia. Only one British subject out of nine enjoys a share in its government. The British empire' covers one-fourth Of the land surface of the globe, and its population Is 421,000,000. Its, sea power is one of the greatest, monopolies and - the most arrogant despotism of modern times. So great is its power on earth that the American lied Cross society could not send hospital supplies to Germany without getting the permission of the British embassy in Washington, and this permission when granted was very much qualified and limited. Few are Illiterate. Everybody can read and write in

Germany. Up to a certain age all children are compelled to go to the public schools. The children of the rich are not exempt. They must par

take or tne common education with the most lowly. As to "militarism," the ' great German bugaboo thrown at us unceasingly, the German army does not compare in size with that of Russia. The army of France is as large as that of Germany and yet her population is less than two-thirds as great. Public opinion In France is more militaristic than in Germany. The British army has twice as many "professional" soldiers as are to be found in Germany. Why make fish of one country and fowl of another? Why call a trained soldier "militarism" and condone and excuse the great and oppressive "navalism" of England? Britain on the seas has always been, as Thomas Jefferson said, the great disturber of the peace of nations. If from this European conflict we shall secure an international guarantee of the freedom of the seas, in which small nations may find profit as well as the larger, then there shall be a great gain to civilization. Nations Must Combine. The trade of the world, of neutral nations as well as belligerents has been treated as the private property

of a single nation. The public high ways of the world have been blocked. The nations must combine to prevent a recurrence of such intolerable conditions in the future. I have Baid little of the social condition , of the Germans, their rights before law, the even justice of their courts, the care for the working people, or of the emphasis they put upon their "government FOR the people" as well as by and of the people. The Germans rare a peace-loving people, notwithstanding the - campaign made in this country to show us that they are a raw-head-and-bloody-bones horde with human gore dripping from their swords at all hours of the day, and led by a great Ogre called a "war lord" to deluge America with blood and ruin. If the German is burdened with "militarism" why are those Americans who severely condemned him now clamoring for American "militarism?" Mr. William Dudley Foulke, who wrote "Slav or Saxon" twenty-seven years ago, predicted then that the next war

would be between Russia and England. "The Russian government," said Mr. Foulke, "will never cease to me a menace to the civilized world until It is crushed. German power is at an end. It has reached its limit and seen its last days. Austria is weak and old. The world should speak with one voice and tell the Russian autocracy that one hundred millions of human being can not longer remain subject to the caprices of a single tyrant, that

the light of knowledge can no longer be darkened over one-sixth of the world by the selfishness of a single ruler. It is time for the Russian au

tocracy to die and the struggle between Slav and Saxon is at hand." And now what? England and Russia, Slav and Saxon, are allied against liberty and constitutional government! Shades of the prophets! Foulke Speaks Again. And Mr. Foulke is prophesying

again. The spirit of Jeremiah is upon him. He is telling his countrymen that we are standing on the brink of an abyss, that war will come within a few months, and that if we do not rush things and get a great militarism the Germans will get ua if we don't look out. We will become subject instead of free man. But before the American people enter a campaign for enormous "preparedness" would it not be wise to ask what is back of this movement? Why this sudden transformation? These hot advocates for American militarism remind one of the political commissioned military officers in our Civil war who always drank toasts like this: "Here's to a long war and rapid promotion," and the army contractors encored them. President Wilson said we ought to be "too proud to fight." Well, if we get a big army and spend a few billions and are "too proud to fight," what then? Well, says Secretary of War Garrison, if the Americans won't enlist up to a 400,000 standing army, then we'll conscript them! Let us think seriously of the social

legislation of the German states; of the protection of the rights or the poor, the infirm, the helpless. These people are humane, civilized, have never treated any subject races with inhumanity or exploited them remorselessly. On the other hand the British empire stretches entirely around the world in a zig-zag way over all latitudes. It was Gladstone himself who said that British possessions represented a thousand looted cities and the continual thievery of the English kings. These possessions do not represent free-will offerings of other nations to England. England's "settlements," "conquests," "capitulations." "cession." "occupations," "protectorates." "annexations" and "peaceful penetration" have been at the expense of the weaker party, whether this party was small or large, civilized or uncivilized. Spain would not permit England to hold Gibraltar if she were not weak. Italy would not allow England to bold Malta if she were strong. Egypt would not be subjugat

ed by England if she could help it. It China were not such a weak giant she would no more tolerate Hong Kong

under British rule than the United States would allow Staten Island controlled by Great Britain.

To Give the Hair a Naturally Wavy Effect

Since the virtues of plain liquid sll nierine as a hair curler became knowi druggists in this country, as well a abroad, have been having a really er traordinary demand for this remarl able ;-oduct. Its effectiveness and it entire harmlesuess especially a compared with the ruinous curlln iron doubtless have been responsibl for its increasing use for the purpos mentioned. A few ounces of liqui silmerine will last a long while. One need only apply a little of tli liquid with a clean tooth brush befon retiring and in the morning the hair will have that beautiful wavy and glossy appearance which bears no marks of artificiality. The best way is to divide the hair into strands and moisten each of them from root to tip. There is no discoloration, no streaky or other unpleasant after-effect. Adv.
