and Lyons to Tours, where, on the very
day OF his arrival, he was presented to
Gambetta, who recognized in him his old
comrade of the Latin quarter. 'I have

country" said Paul. Send me TO Paris"
Thereafter Deroulede took part in twenty
battles and was only once wounded. AT
Montbelliard he was decorated for his au-
dacious courage, and he counts among his
many trophies the congratulations of the
great Bourbak for his noble conduct on
the field of battle.
When peace was restored NJ. Paul took up
letters as profession and within twenty
five years he has published seven or eight
volumes of verse and prose and has been
enumerated among the poets of France.
Last spring Deroulede made an exhibition
Of himself by challenging Gen. Roget to
march with him on the boulevard and pro-
claim himself traitor to the government.
He did all in his power to have himself in
dicted for treason, but his extravagant pro-
testations were regarded much as opera
comique and he could not persuade people
to take him seriously. Then everybody
would insist on remembering Sedan and
other things.
NJ Guerin attracted international atten-
ton by his strenuous efforts to be consid-
cred a desperate foe to the government
When orders were issued for his arrest he,
| in company with some of his followers, bar
ricaded himself in house in the Rue Cha

ties for a long time. Guerin was prominent

batter and especially loud on the boulevards
and in the restaurants. While he was
cooped up in Fort Chabrol. with the police,
fire department and soldiers stationed on
all sides, food was thrown to him by SYM
pathizers from the streets. 1t was finally
| decided to flood the place and drown him
| out. No country but France would have
tolerated a performance so absurd or gro
tesque as this wordy Jew batter defying
the entire military force for weeks.
Guerin comes of the breed that made the
| reign Of terror in France. His hatred Of the
| Jews is not so sincere or bitter as his hos
J tility to any form OF law. He and his fol-
| lowers are of the rabid and noisy class, but
dangerous none the less. Real peril would
appal them. Suffering would wiring screams
| from them. but they are dangerous because
they choose time for a demonstration
when the government is in straits and dare
not take extreme measures. Imprisonment
with notoriety Is life and happiness to
them. but real punishment without noto-
riety would quickly exterminate this partic-
ular brand of patriotism"
