The French, especially the Partisan French,
are nothing if not theatrical. One Of their
own writer's has told us that while Jacques
Bonhomme tho French peasant is ordinarily
the most innocent and good natured of bu-
COLES, yet if he turns criminal, he turns mon
ster at the same time Rural crimes are rare
in France, but in no other country are they
so disgustingly brutal The vices of English
Germans and Americans seem nearly always
to be an excess of nature; tie vice of the
French peasant nearly always has in it some
thing against nature.
"Bluebeardn was Frenchman-that is to
say, the utterly inhurlan wretch on whose
career the popular story is based, was n

were actually kidnapped once within

was easy to dispose of them. He was de-
tected at last, however, condemned and
broken on the wheel" which is about the
