The Apache movement was inspired ny
a wild west show at the world fair
i'm Paris The treachery and daring OF
the Apache Indians appealed to the
vicious instincts of certain class OF
young FarisianS, and they were quick
to initiate in real life the blood-curd!inS
maneuvers they witnessed at the SHOW.
This is the origin of their name Apache
In appearance they are short and small
boned with sallow compilations. Few
show signs OF muscular development.
They are agile and fleet Of foot, but
without arms they would be overpowered
easily.
Their dress is as distinct as an official
uniform A short coat. neglige shirt. a
loose cravat around the throat. sneak
erS and a small cap are the lifVar1able
outfit of these midnight marauders. They
never disguise themselves. The hair of
each member is cut in the same style
shaved high at the back of the neck
with bulging mass of hair above slickly
smoo:hed down. The girl Apaches never
wear hats and therefore devote great
attention to their coiffures. Their dress
may he shabby, their jackets out of date,
but their hair will be arranged in the
latest fashion
For the last decade each quarter of
Paris has been afflicted with its particu-
lar band of Apaches in fact the city
could be divided into wards of Apaches
Each band has it's organization and the
members are all known by the different
signs tattooed on their skins. For in
stance the Bastille band has two stars
on the left forearm: the band of the NAL
akoff has a little ball like mole under
the left eye Moreover. the ApacheS
have created language of their own

Obviously the increase of crime Is not
from lack of proper police protection
Under President Loubet the death penalty
was never put into execution; the presl-
dent commuted the sentence in every case.
President Falleres followed this prece-
dent during the first part OF his term.
Last year. however. the Apaches grew so
defiant that the old law of the gu1iiotlne
was re-established. Nevertheless with the
renewal of capital punishment few
Apaches were brought under the knife of

An Apache is usually transported to the
colonies for few years or else Is given a

Neither of these sentences is feared by
the Apaches They realize that if they
are detected in crime they will be gently

expense accounts of the prison at Fresnes

that prison life attracts the Apaches. es-

their adventures have not been prohtabie.

Now look at the east, to the lands on
the opposite sides of the lake ana the
Jordan. They rise precipitously from
the water. The hills are so steep it would
be almost impossible to climb them, and
they are ragged and rough. That is the
land of the Gadarenes, where our Lord
cast out the devils into the swine, which
ran violently down steep place into the
sea.
All about us are the most familiar
scenes of the Scriptures. Every bit or
these shores has been hallowed; and as
we look the figures Of the Old and New
Testament spring into life 1t is impos-
sible to read the Bible in the Holy Land
and not feel that its people were real men
and women. The apostles had the same
feelings as ours: they lived in world
much the same; they breathed the same
air: they enjoyed the same grass and
flowers; and they loved and sorrowed as
we do today.
I doubt not our Lord appreciated the
beauties Of Galilee. Its scenery is as
picturesque as that Of any lake which lies
in the Alps, and 1t changes in beauty at
every hour of the day. l saw the sun set
last night. The clouds hung heavy over
the hills to the east Of the Jordan and
the sun gilded the top of the Mount of
the Beatitudes as 1t went down in the
west. A little before that these waters
were a glorious yellow, which faded
away into rich copper bronze. At the
same time the heavens were FURNISHED
copper, cloud piled upon cloud. and the
whole was mirrored in the CLASSY surface
beneath. The Sea of Galilee has always
been noted for its wonderful beauty. 1t
was a pleasure resort at the time Of
Herod Antipas. and the palaces Of tt
berias and Capernaum were famous all
over the east.
Let me give you still another view Of
the lake. 1t is moonlight. The great
round queen of the heavens, her golden
face at it's full. shines out Of a mass Of
dark blue, with black clouds behind it.

You can see on the shore at the north. 1t
seems strange that one can carry the
whole Sea of Galilee in his eye / have
always considered it as only little less
than an ocean. or, at least. as big as the
largest of our great fresh water lakes.
The truth is it is only puddle compared
to Lake Michigan. 1t is about half as
large as Lake Cayuga. at Ithaca, n. Y.
and standing on any of the hills which
rise precipitously about it the whole body
Of water can plainly be seen.
The Sea of Galilee is only six miles
at its widest part from east to west,
and from where the Jordan flows in at
the north to the place where it empties
out at the south the distance is a scant
thirteen miles. The sea lies in the de-
preston of the Jordan valley, the river
forming a winding canal 200 miles long.
which connects it with the Dead sea at
the south. The descent to the Dead sea
is over COO feet. and the waters wind like
q corkscrew all the way down to tina:
salt sea of death.
Lake Superior is a little more than 600
feet above the level of the ocean. The
Sea of Galilee is more than $50 feet below
that level. and 1t lies in nest in beauti-
full mountains which slope up from the
water in picturesque shapes.
Over there at the west the shores are
bright green and are spotted with wild
flowers. The grass makes waving
sheet of emerald velvet. and it seems to
almost reach the f1eecy white clouds OF
the blue sky above.

Two reasons have been put forward as
causes OF the present reign of terror--the
laws are too lax and false humanitarian
ism has enfeebled justice. The French
law deals far more severely with a gem
tleman thief than with an Apache assas-
sin. One asks why these Apaches are let
off with ridiculousy short sentences when
the death penalty exists in France? The
answer is that the death penalty IS pro-
nounced only for premeditated murder;
