Holdups of passengers by train robbers. Activities of bootleggers and racketeers. Gang wars and murders, with investigations showing complicity or complacency on the part of American police, judges or prosecutors.

A London firm has just issued an English edition of a book published in America about Al Ca-pone. It has been given more space in the reviewers columns than many a more important book about many a great man thousands of dollars worth of space. For these English look upon Ca-ptse as a warllng and a portent. In no case has less than a half column been devoted to the book. In some cases as much as two columns has been devoted to it.

The serious Times, which always carefully weighs its words, gravely says of the Capone book that it "is an Important and frank study of a phase of American city life which holds in its combination of squalid motive and reckless brutality with vast wealth a fierious menace to American civilization." And the Daily Express, In an editorial, says it Is a sketch "of an American citizen who is as typical of his country at one end of the scale as is President Hoover at the other." There's an insult in every word of this sentence and a challenge to decent Americans. But there is more of the same kind of thing. One of the Sunday papers has acquired the serial rights to the life of Capone. It announced its "scoop" in full page ada in other British papers: "Here at last Is the biography of Scarface Al Capone, the millionaire ruler of Chicago, a crime-run city of 3,000,000 people.

Anions European dailies, the big English newspapers print the most. The job of a British correspondent, stationed in the United States, is an easy one. Sometimes he sends a cable about a scrap between President Hoover and the Senate. If Congress tackles the question of a big navy or the tariff or something else which has an European angle or echo, he sends that. The present business depression in America Is good stuff for him because for so long Europeans, suffering from hard times, envied America's prosperity.

Now they get a certain "kick" out of hearing that America is in the same boat to some extent. Rows about prohibition are always good for a story. But, in the main, the yarns the British correspondents send to are caused by bad circulation of the blood in the affected parts. The ptrts al all.
