These are questions in the minds of editors throughout the country. The antire nation is watching Chicago as she battles to rid herself once and for all of the incubus of crime.
Newspapers from coast to coast are featuring the daily developments in the fight, and their editors ex- press a wide variety of opinions on the outcome. Some are frankly sceptical; others hopeful; many commend the city for awaking at last" and express, cdnfidence, that she will hammer 'ber way through to ultimato victory.
"Chicago's war is the nation's war,"
declares the Manchester Union in far-off New Hampshire. and other papers" agree that the fate of similar campaigns in other. cities hangs in large degree on Chicago's failure or success,
Developments on. the Chicago front, sa gleaned from the city's papers and news dispatches, include the following:

The two Scottish suites seemed to be the most appreciated items on the programme, and in both num- bers the piper "responded to demand for an encore. "John Brown's" Body, sung by the band in a novel humorous way was also encored...
During the evening it was an nounced on behalf of the KRA. that the next concert would be the 6th and last of the present series and it was hoped that it would be possible to attange for a recital by the massed bands of the Somerseta and the Highlandera.

programme of last night's recital was as follows:- March Father Rhine "Lincke. Overture "Egmont...Beethoven. Selection-" Cavalleria Rusticana," Mascagni, Two Hungarian Dances...

A MEAN THEFT.
YOUNG CHINESE GIRL
VICTIMISED.
How a Chinese girl was relieved of a gold wrist-watch and a bangle was told by the victim in her report to the Police.
The girl said that an friend pro- mised to make her a present of a pair of bangles. He called at her house in Woosung Street and in- duced her to accompany him to Hong Kong
They took a tram and alighted at. the Western Market, but the man, in the meantime, had obtained the bangle and wrist-watch from her. They then went into a cafe in
Queen's Road West, and here the
man did the vanishing trick, leaving the girl a sadder but wiser person.
"It is not unfair to say that the outcome of this fight depends upon whether the newspapers mean busi ness," says the San Deige Union: "If the combined forces of Chi- cago's newspapers cannot crime that is to say, if they can- not beat the organised variety, confining crime to sporadic, occa sional and isolated episodes then the press is a sham, the power of the press is a myth, and organised crime is unbeatable.”
Appearing for the prosecution. Mr. Horace Lo said that the man come up to the woman on the day before the alleged assault and said. to her," Everybody says you love me; you had better marry me." The woman then asked him not to make a fool of himself and to stop his raving.
On the 17th inst. Wo Ting, was performing her morning toilet when she felt someone striking her with a sharp instrument on the head. On turning round, she saw the de- tendant running away. She did not, however, see any weapons, Later, another. sorvant in the house found a blood stained chopper, but there was no evidence, said Mr. Lo," that would connect defendant with this
instrument..
In the witness-box, Wu Ting exid she was in hospital for ten days... She also told the Court about Ho You's proposal of marriage.
His Worship: You rejected him and abused him?
Witness: Yes, I asked him who bat the devil would love him, and told him that I would love him only when he was dead;
At this point Mr. Lo explained that the defendant was missing for a few hours after the assault and the next that was heard of him was when he tried to jumped into the barbour..
The case was then adjourned until Saturday.
