Paris Apaches Resume
Pre-War Street Fighting

Paris, France. Oct. 10.-The pre- war
pastime Of street battles between
rival gahgs OF apaches has been re-
sumed.
Recently a particularly bloodthirsty
encounter took place at the corner Of
the Boulevard de Belleville and the
Faubourg du Temple. a very Infamous
Quarter OF Paris. The rival factions
were the Wolf Cubs" and the Boys
Of Belleville-"
They lined up and fired revolvers
at each other. Occasionally they got
to close quarters, when knives were
freely used
A squad OF cyclist police appeared
on the scene and the two rival bands
then became reconciied in face OF the
common foe. They opened fire on the
police. The apaches were forced to
retire, leaving two OF their most
seriously wounded men behind them
