Deputies for the city of Paris. Ii has
usually been sufficient for any ambassa-
dor. or even for any Of the principal
members of his staff, to notify the Surete
G4nerale of his desire for the expulsion
of one of his countrymen, to have the In
diyidual In question summarily turned
out of France.
Theoretically the Surete Generate is a
division Of the Department OF the IN
terror. distinct from the Prefecture or
Police. In reality it is under the supreme
control of the Project, who also receives
his appointment from the hands OF the
Minister Of the Interior. although II Is de-
termined by the President and his entire
Cabinet. 1t has been sometimes supposed
that the authority of the Project or 70

OF course il may be argued that the
Military Governor of Paris enjoys still
greater amount Of responsibility in this
connection than the Project of Police.

CRADLE OF INsURREcTloN.

II was BY means Of coups d'etat con-
animated on the banks of the Seine that
the first and third Napoleons established
themselves on the throne. Again, it was
a rising of an the unruly mob element

nainder of France was straining every
nerve 10 rid its territory of The German
Invaders. that overturned the provisional
government. and then devoted itself 10
the pillage of the city and to the destruc-
,ion of the finest buildings and public
monuments. In 1889. on the night of his
election to the Chamber of Deputies by
an overwhelming majority a. member for
Paris. there is no doubt that General
Boulanger would have seized the Elysee
in compliance with the urgings or his adj
herents and would have established him
self as dictator had il not been for the
energy of the Prefect of Police.
The one man upon whom the French
government be il republican or monarch
ical. has always had TO rely TO keep the
Parisians under control and TO prevent
them from achieving successful revoiu-
ton is the Project of Police. And that is
why the appointment of Celestin Hennion
to succeed Louis Lepine as the forty
eighth Project of Police since the creation
Of the office. in 1900. possesses an interest
that extends far beyond the walls OF
Paris, beyond even the borders of France.

eminent Of that country must necessarily

years old at the time OF the Franco-Ger-
man War, has been connected with the
police ever since he left the army In
1883, with the rank OF sergeant after
five years Of service IN the ranks. While
he Is not a homme du monde, such as
Lepine. nor qualified to shine at meet

the haunts of the great world Of the
metropolis yet he knows his business
from a to u. Lepine had something OF

lie what these dossiers mean, II may
be stated that they number between
eight and ten millions, an altogether APP
palIing figure when II Is borne in nina
that the entire population OF France does
not exceed forty millions These dossiers,
which relate exclusively to indictments
and convictions must not be COMPOUNDED
with the near 10000 political dossiers OF
