The general increase of crime in the country to which Sir Nevil

alluded recently, is the result of the slackened moral sense following the

war.

War caused a general erethism, Sir Robert explained, a great national excitement acting on the nervous syster. Faculties latest acquired are the first to be lost. To make | my meaning clearer, the sense of smell, which is the first sense ac- quired, is rarely disturbed. The last sense acquired the sease of hearing, is usually the first to go.

In the same way, the moral sense, because it is acquired late, the more readily comes under the influence of great excitement. It is not" suffi- ciently organi ed or stable to resist : it gives way, and you get a general lowering of morality in the country.

This explains the enormous in-. crease in petty thefts as common at the front as at home, in house- breaking and in offences on the railways.

Women have developed klepto- maria in a manner utterly undream- ed of before the war; juvenile crime has gone up 50 per cent.

Men who suffer from neurasthenia and shell shock as a result of service. at the front tend to lose their self control because the best part of their brain is temporarily suppressed. Shell shock can be cured if it is treated early, but if the treatment is left late the possibilities of cure are much less hopeful..

It must be remembered, Sir Robert remarked, that on a certain type of character war has the worst possible effect. Indeed, I believe it tends to draw out the worst rather than the best in very many people..

And there is no doubt that a man who has lived a life in which killing is the daily work is likely to be more impulsive afterwards than ever he was before. I do not say he would be, more inclined to actual murder. but he is certainly inclined to do things he deeply regrets afterwards.

Crimes of violence have decreased because of the control of liquor, and it will be an enormous mistake if we go back to pre-war conditions in drink.

I should imagine, Sir Robert con- cluded, that it will be at least five years before the country settles down to its bid ways and standards. Meanwhile the

strongest efforts should be made to get hold of children. Better conditions for children-this is the first step to im. prove national morality in the future, but the present wave will wear itself out as life approximates more to the. normal.

ELEPHANT HUNT.

Owing to the ravages of rogue elephants, the bad elephants of the family, it is stated that the South African Government intend to shoot the elephants on the Addo reserve, the scrub forest near Port Elizabeth, Cape Colony. An offer has been made by the World's Zoological Trading Company, through the High Commissioner of South Africa in London, to take over the reserve, kill all the rogue elephants, and capture and taime the remainder. There are about 250 to 300 elephants on the reserve," said Mr. John Jordan, a director of the company, to a Doily. Mail representative, and it seems a pity to slaughter all because there are a few rogues among them. The African, elephant is very valuable and much bigger than its Indian brother. Many zoological gardens in Europe and the United States are anxious for specimens. The present price is from £800 to £1,000. För generations this reserve has been an obstacle to farming, and people have been killed by the elephants.

I was listess and scarcely able to get about. My nervis seemed complete-

While I was at a base hospital a friend recommended me to try De

Williams' pink pills and I did so.

A few days after commencing the pilis I began to feel better. First of all there was sa improvement in my appe tite. Then my nerves gradually got stead fer, and the teadaches left me. I became brighter and had more energy,
