THE LONDON POLICE.
The Force Is Said by Germens to Ile the
Finest in the World.a.
During the last few years London
police have provided hints for the chid
cities of the worm. Special missions
have gone from the United States, Rus-
sia, Frunee, Spain and Sevitzerland, and
hi each case the visitors have admitted

Now a special German police mission
has been visiting Scotland Yard to Com-
pare London detective methods with
those 01 Berlin. The Germans have been
given every opportunely for insight into

be the best policed city In the world.
Berlin has been known as the city of
police, for officialdom there is in lull
control. So the Scotland Yard authori-
ties acoept this opinion as ono of the
greatest compliments ever paid them.
These German visitors *ere shown all
over the new Seetland Yard, taken at

and ()own to the East End slums, among
the lodging -houses and eltiminal haunts.
They saw for themselves how very
quietly and expeditiously the London
policeman works.
Tlic marvellous system of Warne Con-
trol moused their admiration. They
were astonished to find how popular the
police are, tn spite of their authority.
"The potver of the police of Germany
Is far greater than yours, but their suc-
cess is not so great," said one of the
eGnectrems.an visitors, discussing his expert -
"You can hardly (accomplish anything
in Berlin without consulting our police
