communards to realize the money need

Of the COVE: nment siege. the president
of the Bank of France was confronted
by an unkenpt mob. The demand was
explicit. They wanted all the gold in
the banks vaults. The spokesman
flourished bloody saber and the mob
accentuated the demand by all sorts of
ferocious threats. 1t was in the height
of this melee that man who had been
counseling the financial deputy Of the
commune rode up, adorned by a red sash
and other insignia of the terrorists He
made his way through the vociferous
throng and handed the governor of the
bank large envelope. While the official
was reading it the besashed emissary
turned to the clamoring nomads and, in
O tongue unknown to the officials and
probably to many Of the mob, addressed
them few sentences A singular event
followed. A dozen of the ringleaders ct
once began baranguing the rioters In
a few minutes every one Of them with

in consultation with the governor and

later six covered wagons came to the
