PARIS, July 30.-Deserters from
the American army that came TO
France still number 1900 in the
Paris district alone, according to
report made by the Paris police TO
Captain j. A. Warden, who is super
vising the apprehension Of the de-
sertcrs in addition 20 investigating
bills still being presented against
the American EXpeditionary Forces.
AS these deserters all have the
reputation with the French police
of carrying arms and being bad
men" generally. the police simply
notify the American authorities
from time to time of their presence
in some particular place, but do not
attempt TO arrest them.
In some weeks the arrests of de-
serters have averaged as high as
ten. The men not only carried
arms but remarkable sets of per-
sonal papers, including forged army
discharges and forged army orders.
With these papers it was simply TO
obtain the necessary French identity
cards. The deserters are often
American citizens of foreign birth.
The lairs of the deserters are
mostly in Montmaitre in secret
underground passages in which the
Apaches Of Paris have managed in
the past TO hide their trails from
the police. Their communications
are so well established that as soon
as a raid is carried out by Amer
lean military police from COblenz
the alarm is given in every quarter.
The deserters are virtually penned
up in Paris. not daring TO stir out
side the city. If they leave Paris
it means leaving an income often
derived from the illicit sale Of drugs.

cation system which is their safety
and being Investigated by the French
police again.
The number of deserters in Paris
is steadily decreasing, however. As
soon as all alarm have died down

again on suspected places and
usually the next day a convoy starts
for Coblenz, where courts martial
sit almost continuously. Sentences
Of less than six months are served
