F U YOU V. NO. 13G COUNCILS' PROBE OF CRIME ASKED BY RESOLUTION Common Will Get Request That Committee Investi gate 'Outlawry OPPOSITION EXPECTED Island Road Residents Join in Demand for Adequate Protection 'Common Counclt will BfL a chance this afternoon to order an Investigation of the police department of this city In relation to tlie present outbreak of crime. William W". Menlzlnger, Jr.. Common Councilman from tlie Twenty-second Ward; .will offer a lcsolutlon ordering a councllmantc probe of the crime sit uation. The resolution authorizes the appoint ment of a committee of seven probers by Kdward B. aleason, president of Com mon Council, with full powers to sum mon witnesses and cdmpel production of the, books and records of tho police de partment. , It Is considered unlikely by those who know at City Hall that the resolution will be allowed to pass. Mr. Mentzlnger may be expected to get the support of the Independents and the Penrose fol lowers . He will be opposed by the Vares, however, who at present hold a majority of votes In Common Council. Select Need Not Coneur If he resolution were to puss It would not require the Indorsement of Select Council, since It provides for a probe by Common Council only. Mr.""5Ientr.lnger sets forth the reasons for the proposed Investigation In the fol lowing resolution: "Whereas, crime has Increased hi the City of Philadelphia either by reason of the Inadequacy of the police force, "Or the Inefficient conduct of the offi cials of'the police bureau. "Or the demoralizing effect of political domination of the employes of said .bureau, "Or of the collusion with the perpe trators of crime by the members of said force or other city officials; "Or to the alleged protection accord ed certain proprietors of cigar stores, poolrocms and: clubs, wherein large sums of money arc 'lost by those who can III afford It. with the consequent crime of the victims of such places to recoup the losses sustained therein ; Entitled to Information And, whereas. Councils and the iltl Eens at large are entitled to such-Information In order that proper steps may be taken tb remedy the conditions, to the end, that our peopl6 may bo secure In the employment of life" and liberty: "And whereas, said alleged Increase of crime', from Whatever cause, 1b viewed 7lth widespread alarm throughout the entire city; "Therefore, Be It resolved by Common Council of the City of Philadelphia, that a special committee of. seven bo ap pointed by the president of Common Council to Inquire into the causes of the Increase. In crime and to report to this chamber, with any action it may deem necessary." Another neighborhood association, tired of police; promises of protection which have not materialized, now threatenta to call on the Home Defense Reserves for protection against hold.up men and thieves. The action was taken by tlie Island Road Improvement Association at a Ineetlrur last night. This Is the fourth organization to voice similar sentiments durlnr tne last weeK.

Quick, Action Xeeded "Something must b done In a drastic Way, and It must be done quickly," said Mr, Lafferty today. "My bill Is Intended to meet the extraordinary situation wun which the citizens of Philadelphia, and In fact, those of many other sections of the State are confronted a period of J rlotloua lawlessness. .. ."Kvrv dav Reemfl to hrlnff forth nm ti new terror to the housekeeper or pedes- jc trlan.

At u hearing beforo fie Hules c'umm.ttce of the House ot Hepresentatives today. Major General i Peter Traub. who commanded tho Thlrty-llfth Division in the Argonnc Forest battle, testlllcd that the critl- , clsms made by Governor Henry Allen, of Kansas, and aYioua other civilians and officers, that the lives of hundreds ot American soldiers wero sacrificed needlessly because of lack of artillery, airplanes and medical attention, "were not well founded." Governor Allen, he said, was not at the front, but five or six miles In the rear, and was. therefore, not In u posi tion to tell of what happened on tho firing line. He said he had tent Governor Allen, who wrh In charge of the Y. M. '. A. with the Thirty-fifth Division, and his twenty-four Y. 3I. C.

Kverythtng possible was done for the wounded, he said, but explained that, because It was Impossible to inoc the wounded except at night and, because more than 7000 men were cleared through the division triage (casualty clearing station), there was necessarily some delay In giving the men the. medi cal attention they would liavo received under ordinary conditions. General Traub, a short, wiry man, with red hair, rather grayed, and dark brown flashing eyes, n graduate of West Point, told very plainly of everything that happened 'n this Important bnttle. He gesticulated continually, snapped his fingers and pounded on tho table to drive I hnillA Ills WOrdS. and frequently rose 10 his feet and waved his hands to aid In low.

The shooting of ' . , , ., ,, , Premier Clemcnceau has thrown the j Peace Conference into confusion, i It certainly produced great turmoil in France, but it is impossible to predict what direction French senti ment will take when tho wave of sympathy for the Premier passe?. ' Tho affair sharpens the issue which has been forming about his personality, involving the isolation of France and the economic dif ficulties of thcpoor. Clcmenceau was much admired, and the shooting is likely to cause some temporary anti-American feel ing and may delay the s'teps beings taken to form a new ministry of a compromiscBort and such delay may make tho cthpromise more difficult. Clemenccau's wounds are slight, but there is danger in his age and ' the .long strain of tho war and the i Peace Conference bringing on a cer-. tain organic impuirment. j It is impossible to tell whether it was an act of an individual alone or not. Cottin is described as dressed like a workman and a resident of a town near Paris. If political in intent, the act is a; surprise to the radicals here, who nave seen no signs oi an approacn- ing social disturbance, though the fundamental economic conditions favor one.
