CORS'IICAIN, BRIGANDS
Teem being a picturesque villain
the Corsican brigand., so beloved off
Victorian novelists, has become an in-
tdl'ea•able tiuisau'ce, and the 'Frenc'h
authorities are resolved to 'be done
With ,him. Tih'e'd'aings of the expedi-
tion sen4 rout some weeks ago 'have.
furnished the foreign oorrespoieden'ts'
of Oar newspapers 'with the' most col-
orful and entertaining news of the
mouth. 'We have h'ed thrilling stories

is a passionate ad'm'irer.

ly o:g
leasin'to the F'relich authorities,
They disliked all the publicity—at.
least when the big .fis'h they were af-
ter 'seemed to 'be'escapiug their. net.
'They .also ,deprecated exaggeration
about the size of the ex'ped�'rt'i'on, 'which
was described as being on a scale sug-
gesting a srnali frontier 'wear'. It was
ununder the comunand •of General Four-
nier, ,consisted it was said, of a force
of 1,500 men, with armored' cars, a
teak, guns and specially trained dogs,
Warships were sent to circle the coast

m,s3n'taiiied, add aeroplanes flew over-
head, surveying. the wild country :ike

Ail this,if au'thenttic, semis verymeasurethorough as measure to catch a few
roving bandits,.who themselves ap-
parently do not number more than
dozen, while their partisans at the
most are •reckoned at two hundred. It
naturally 'pro'vo'ked a little gentle, ri-
ething of
the kisid 'Seems to. ,have happened
more than once already.
The .real .reason for this display of
energy is thata great change. .Has
come over the Corsican banditry ;and
the vendetta has lbecorne"an industry.
The brigand, indeed, isnot thenlaai
he was. In the days when Prosper
Meriaine wrote'alliout hint in his
cirarrning story "Colombo," 11•e was
usually an outlaw ,who had murdered
'his: mail 'in one 'of those blood feuds
which play so large a, part in the life
of the islaird. He had this code and
.was by no means regarded as an or-
dinary criminal. And though he liv-
ed a iniseralble existence as a fugitive,
Ste was sheltered by his friends as one
'who has done his duty to his family,.
!'T'he "'Seigneur du ivlia'q.uis" friday
is a very udifferent 'panace, He has be-
come exitretnely modern in his meth-
ods. Havinlg read with admiration
about the "rackets" of.iChicago :and
'New York, he resolved that he also
tvould'have a go'od time. Today he
goes about in motor cars, drinks
champagne, wears 'fine lined, anti
keep's a paid 'guard; his portrait is in
the !papers, and film firms offer him
big suet's for pictures to brighten the
humdrum lives of city 'workers. All
this 'he' has been able to d'o by imita-
ting the mebhod.s of civilization of the
(Chicago' b'ran'd. He and his fellows
have parcelled out the island between
them into "slp'heres of influence," and
leave levied toll on trades and busi-
nesses in the approved mode 'of their
Trans'atlan'tic mod'e'ls,
One example of this modern spirit
o'f enterprise 'ended last •m'on'th in a
famous 'brigand being removed fo'r-
e'ver from the scene orf his exp'loi'ts.

of the stony is told by a Corsican
correepoit'detrt. On the mornin'g of
November 5 the contractor met the
bandit as heated had to do before. He
invited Bartok to enter his motor car.

'to, and which was actually published
in `L'Eveil de 1a Corse, sheds a singu-
lar 'light on the mentality' o'f these
:brigands:
"For .the second tine," he writes,
"l 'avail myself of your columns to
give the public some explanation of

The "tragedy" o'f Guagno-IesiBiains
'was an unforiutate incident in which,
while holding tine guests to iranso'm

Halifax citizens coat'in'g ships for the
North Atlantic 'siqu'adron before it set
forth to guard our lines of communi-
cation, in bhe Worth Atlantic. And
that day in 191'7 when the •explosion
of the ammunition ship, Mt. Blanc,
in *he 'harbor brought Elie horror o'f
war to Canada's very gate.
!Everything must have a beginning
and 'the 'forerun ler o'f the Citadel,
)built in 1V1718, was, n'ecessatily, of
wood. It possessed a square tower,
ossein for observation and was aur
rounded by a 'fence of sharp pickets
as an outer line of defence. With true
army politeness and loyalty it was
named 'Font 'George after the reign-
ing 'monarch. But it was ' not long
before Fort George became obsolete
from the standpoint of defence and in.
1'300 it was replaced by, a larger 'fort,
:a series of earthworks being, substitut-
ed for the picket fence.
It was not until 1523 however that
.the present - stone -'built Citadel • was
commenced and it was some years
later before the finls•hing touch was
given. It cost nearly a million' dol-
lars and Was ibuilt mainly by the
soldiers of the (Halifax . Garrison,.
Doubtless the anti-'nilitaeislts of that
day felt that this fact fully accounted
far the delay. 'As the picket fence
gave. way, 'to the 'eart'hworks as .a
means of "defence against an enemy'
attack, so they in .turn were replaced
by a, moat across which musketry
fire could be brought to bear by •the
garrison in any direction from slits
in the .wall.
