Brooklyn a day or so ago I think there is a growing feeling that there 1s oound to be a great deal of delinquency following th return of the military and pending the economic readjustment following the cessation of hostilities "It Is not a reflection upon our splendid army that there should always be in such a large body of men a considerable number of turbulent spirits if not actual lawbreakers something more than can be accounted for by natural exuberance at release from discipline and warfare that have heretofore existed "This situation is bound to furnish many problems for the police and th magistrates With so many men under arms if undue leniency were granted them it would he an encouragement to lawbreaking end to the excuse that punishment should not follow in th case of a soldier
