2ENCH GOVERNMENT TO GO THE LIMIT TO CAPTURE
OR KILL THE PHANTOM BANDITS"

Paris, March 26.-At special
meeting of. the cabinet called to-
day it was agreed to ask the
s, chamber of deputies to appropri
ate $4,000 to run down the
phantom bandits
The whole city is terror strick-
en- over yesterdays three daring
murders, and the helplessuess dis
played by the police. No man or
woman feels safe upon the streets
of Paris or its environs.
The banking houses of the city
have stationed armed special Of
~fcers atItheir doors and in their
corridors The employees are
working with rapid fire reviewers
within reach. All have lost con.
fdence in the ability of the police
to protect them.
The rapidity with which the
bandits work, the sure certainty
with which they carry out their
crimes, and the completeness
with which they disappear after
wards, is almost beyond believe.
After the Staying of the two
watchmen and the looting of the
Chantilly bank yesterday, the
bandits drove off in their stolen
high-power automobile toward
Paris.
They were sighted by squad
of police mounted on motor cy-
cles. The police pursued The
robbers shook them off, and lost
them, and half an hour later the
police came upon the stolen auto
mobile abandoned on. wayside
road.

every road in the vicinity was
secured by police in automobile,
and on motor cycles not a clue as
to the direction in which the
bandits had gone was picked up.
Late in the evening, however,
they were heard from again. -
M. Lepine, the project of police,
who recently had the honor of be-
coming the first French project
of police to be elected a member
of the Academy, had come down
to headquarters, and was holding
a conference about the bandits
withhis best men.
The conference was interrupt
ed by a messenger with letter.
The letter was to M. Lepine. He
opened it and turned white.
: There was just a single sheet
of paper in the envelope. On it
were smudged the inprints of
three thumbs, and underneath, in
fine script, was written:
"Our principles being so high
and honorable that we detect a
contest so unequal, so unfair, as
that which we have set you, M. J

A really safe present to send your
girl is a diamond or an auto. She can

manage a car, even if they can't do
enough useful work to keep one in
benzine.
