RITORY or THE BALKAN KIGOMS AND
P E OF PARIS TURKEY AS FIXED BY TREATY OFNBTGI-IAREST
blight Prowlers Whose Trade Is
Murder and Robbery.
THE TERROR OF THE POLICE.
These 'Desperadoes Rarely Use a Gun,
but Work With the Knife, the Blud-
goon or by "Tolling" -They Have a
•Short and Bloody Career.
• There are very few nights in the
year when, Paris policemen on their
'rounds do not stumble upon a body ly-
hng in a gory pool. Sometimes the
'handle of a long, slender knife pro-
trudes between the shoulder blades;'
soinetimes an ugly gash bleeds from
ear to ear; not seldom blood oozes
from mouth, nose and ears," as though
the dead had not sustained any ap-
parent wound, or three little starlike
bruises may, dot the temple, or a bluish
line an inch wide ;may mar the baclt
of the neck, just above the collar line.
•"Les Apaches," the "cops" whisper
'to each other (for Parisian police of-
ficers always go two by two). and they
call for an ambulance, much relieved
not to have witnessed the incident.
The Steel blade, the blackjack, the
Brass knuckles, les, will serve the purpose
of the Apache, according to his vic-
tim's size and presumable strength.
For a prey of small stature,however.
the Apache reserves what in his siting
he calls "tolling" A sharp blow dazes
the victim and throws him down; the
Apache's knees bore themselves into
the chest, while his hands seize the
ears, lift the bead and slam it a couple
of times on the pavement until a dull-
er thud tells of n fractured skull.
Untii au Apache is an adept at
;'sticking" his man in very much the
same way 1n which a Spanish torero
dispatches a bull, with a single thrust
between the shoulders, or at cracking
a skull bone at slam, he is held in
little esteem and never nllowed to
tackle "big jobs" in'a dangerous neigh-
borhood, for Paris is a well policed
city. The night hawk must strike like
lightning, empty the dead man's pock-
ets In a wink and slink away into the
dark, Therefore Apaches very seldom
carry guns; the knife is silent. Toll-
ing, too, is safe -so many people are
known to have slipped and fractured
their skulls! Unless the victim is es-
pecially well dressed there is not much
of an inquiry.
When it is all over the gang, which
scatters like a flock of frightened spar-
rows. meets again at some wineshop
where no one is welcome who is not
'in the business..".
Apaches uever try to conceal their
social status. . Their very clothes are
a sort of warning to the public. They
eveu affect a peculiar walk. the body
bent from the loins, shoulders hunched
end uauds plunging deep into the
trousers pockets. But who would dare
to molest them?
The Apache is a marked man. He
joins a gang at three or four and twen-
ty, and by thirty or thirty-five he has
gone. The maws of a jail hold him
for the. b 15
of h earthlyexist-
ence.
xiSt-
ence., L -le knows that. He expects it.
Therefore while his freedom lasts there
is no desperate chance he will not take
to get at the gold that alone could
save him.
Apaches are not born; they are
made -made by the peculiar laws of
France. Every citizen of the repub-
c, without distinction of rank or class.
must serve under his country's flag
for two years. Only the physically un-
fit escape that servitude. At the end
.f his term in the ranks every French-
man seeking employment must pre-
sent as means of identification his cer-
tificate of honorable discharge.
Thee It is that tragedy looms up for
some unfortunates. Woe to the one
whose certificate mentions the "Afri-'
an battalions!"
The African battalions, garrisoned at
the edge of the Sahara desert, are
made up of all the boys who had the
misfortune of being arrested before
they reached the age of twenty-one.
Trivial as their offenses may have
been, whether they were due or not
to the indiscreet exuberance of youth
or to some absurd entanglement, they,
are sent to the desert outposts, kept`'
on convict fare, sleeping mostly in
trenches which they dig. watched over
by sentries that shoot to kill
Under the broiling sun that lays
them down fast with fever and chol-
era they build roads, crept over the
next day by the sand: They are "the
front" whenever Arabs or Moroccans
threaten to shake oft -the French yoke.
When they fall by the wayside they
are tied to a horse's tail. When they
protest spurs cause the horse to rear.
And when the creepy water of sand
wells, bullets from the sentries or from
the nomads and the hoofs of vicious'
horses have spared them they return
to their native city with hatred in
their hearts, with the loathsome mem-
ories
left by association with the de-
praved and the inorally diseased.
They return to their native -city to,
find doors and hearts locked to them.
Their military book, which they must.
produce, proclaims them jailbirds:
Who wants to employ an ex -convict?
During their two years in the African
inferno they have atoned for their er
rocs of the eighteenth or nineteenth
year. For the second time they have
settled their account with society.
And now society refuses them a
chance to show that they have (for
$Ome of them have) shed the old hide,
to prove that a new heart is beating..
in their breasts.
Hard is the plight of an ex -convict
in France. -Andre Fridon in New YYork.
