"A Clever Plan That Has

Daring and Resourceful
Soldiers, While Paris
Has Been Relieved
of Their Crimes

they have shown very good conduct
as soldiers. They have been obedient
to discipline and have refrained from
pillage and other acts forbidden to
good soldiers. Pierre Lott. in his
articles has commented on the excel
lent conduct of the Apaches under
aims.
When 1t comes to lying out in the
rain-filled, shot-stormed trenches day

soldiers who stand the ordeal as

rible wounds with Jest in Partisan

Bonnet and Carouy, the motor ban

Food, FINGERS and Flies---W Watch Them!

STfHERE are three principal ways in which disease
germs are carried from person to person. and
these ways may be easily remembered by three
catch words-Food Fingers and Flies.

those which are eaten raw, since thorough cooking

OF all foods the most dangerous are water and milk

Paris, Dec. 8.

Paris, Dec. 8.
THE French Government has
recruited an entire regiment
Of soldiers from the cut
threats and criminals of the worst
slums Of Paris.
Some surprise has been expressed
at the absence during this time OF
war and civic disorganization of the
daring crimes for which Paris has
been notorious
The explanation is out now All
the criminals are away fighting with
the army, and fighting bravely, too.
They consist mainly of the class OF
Partisan desperadoes known as
"Apaches," and partly of anarchists.
1t was necessary to organize them
into regiment consisting exclusively
of their own class, because ordinary
respectable soldiers would have
objected to their company. AS colonel
they have a marquis Of historic
family, who fell into criminal ways
through dissipation and eXtrava-
gance.
The problem of dealing with the
numerous criminals of Paris became
a serious one for the Government ut
the outbreak Of the war. After due
consideration the Government in
structed the police to round up the
chief criminals and suspects Of mill
tary age and give them the choice of
serving In the army or going to
prison. All the.scriminals not only
volunteered eagerly to serve, but Of
Iered to assist in raising one or more
regiments among their friends.
Psychologists say that many crimi-
nails are men of fine qualities. who
have been forced to become enemies
of society because civilized life has
not given them ti,e opportunities
for daring adventure and physical
activity that their impulsive natures
demanded. The experience of the
Apache regiment seems to confirm
this.
They have shown amazing daring,
bravery, endurance and resourceful-
ness. What is Still more remarkable,

are tumultuous, noisy or disorderly, it
is because there is something wrong.
The people are not naturally tu-l
multuOus. When they assemble at
monkey dinners" or in lynching
parties, or in the stress and struggle
of strikes, they may become so, but
in the latter case they are no more a
rabble than in the first mentioned.
And there is always something wrong
which accounts for it.
In all history of social center ac-
tivities in schoolhouses there is no
record of people using their own
buildings becoming a rabble. Legisla-
lures and congresses sometimes ex-
hibit the characteristics of rabies,
and social centers may do so. But
whose building is the schoolhouse?

A New York woman asked Miss
Margaret Wilson, the daughter of the
president, this question the other
evening. in the Hudson Theater, in
New York City.
"Rabble?" repeated Miss Wilson.
81 don't know what you mean!'
A rabble is a ''tumultuous assem-
blage" of noisy, low and vulgar peo-
pie. When the expression 'the rab-
BILE" is used, the user at once discloses
the fact that he or she regards the
plain, ordinary, common people as
''low," vulgar" ''tumultuous" and
NOISY" That has always been the
tory view of the people.
When disorder consists in the at
tacks of drilled bodies of men upon
undriIIed crowds, it is always the lat
ter who are 1.-THE rabbIe" no matter
how unlawful may be the action of
the soIdiery, or how lawful and peace
full the behavior of the crowd.
Wat Tyler led ''rabble' on Lon
don, demanding the abolition of serf-
dom, the end of feudal service, the
freeing of labor and trade, the church
lands for the landless and social
equality.
"The rabble'' meeting in the
schooIhouses of today are like the |
rabble following Wat Tyler and John |
Ball-they are asking that the privi-
leges of those who think the common
people, low, vulgar and tumultuous
be abridged.

The result of the Dayton plan has
attracted much notice throughout the
United States. Henry NJ. White, the
city manager, at a convention recently,
said that the plan had worked out sue
cessfully, and that its permanency de-
ponds upon inte;' ,ent citizenship and
politics out municipal affairs. The
Dayton plan o. five non-partisan com

election of sound business men. They

Charles Z. Ashburner, city manager
of Springfield, o., where the plan is
meeting with great success, says:

largely due, not to the men who are
elected to office, but to the tools or in.
struments of government with which
they have to work. Managing a city is
