Paris Communists have adopted a
new method of batting the police" in
an effort to stir up trouble whenever
they hold revolutionary meetings in the
suburbs. Hitherto May l was the only
day in the year when the police were
forced to batter skulls with loaded
truncheons or occasionally to ffre a few
bullets into the mobs carrying red flags,
but more subtle danger is beginning
to be seen in a series Of so-called pro-
test meetings he'll at st. Gervais or
ether outskirting villages, such as those
held last Sunday.
The Communists at these meetings in
variably are in the minority, but pub
licity results in attracting huge crowds.
in which are thousands of boys between
IA and 16 whose fares to the meeting
place have been paid from Communist
funds. The Paris police or Republican
Guards never pass the barriers. but walt
until the crowds return, in order to pre-
vent the demonstrators from entering
Paris with unfurled flags.
AS soon as the meetings have dis
persed the Communist leaders disappear
but a few hotheads always are found
who will lead the excitement seeking
crowds to the gates Of the city. Inva-
riably the front line of attack is COM
posed of mere youths armed with stones
they have picked up along the roadside.
At given signal these youths treat
the police to vertable hailstornl, with
the result that scores are injured.
All efforts to incriminate the insti-
gators have failed thus far. although
there is plenty Of evidence that the
youths have not acted on their own
initiative. The situation is considered
especially serious here. because while
every election shows that the Commun-
lists haven't the slightest chance of gain
ing control, the use OF force by the police
against minors, 1t Is feared, will have a
serious reaction on spectators, causing
them to become more easily influenced
by Soviet propaganda.

That France is developing veritaole
nation of amazons as the result of the
athletic training OF French women be-
came evident this week when the spring
field meet was held in the Pershing
Stadium. There were more than 10000
spectators, while more than 100 women
organizations entered contestants In the
various events.
While athletics have been gaining in
popularity among the women of the
United States and England since the
beginning of the century. it is only since
the war ended that progress has been
attained along this line in France. To-
day, however. even aristocratic families
are entering the classes at Joinville.
where as many as 1900 are trained in
n week, while scores of new feminine
clubs to promote athletics are appearing
monthly.
At the spring festival the athletic
activities were not coHHHeu " tHe uSu'
running and basketball features, but
also embraced high jumping. pole vault
Ing, broad jumping, shot putting and. In
fact, every muscle developing event
found in American field day meets.
With all this France. however. is not

Of women, and more than 1000 girls are
participating in aesthetic dances. and
the same number later formed echelons
FOR the exhibition of javelin throwing.
The promoters OF feminine sports. how
ever. are disturbed by the fact that
members of thirty French societies are
not taking part, as the parents of mem
bers refuse to give UP their traditions
and will not allow their daughters 70
travel alone to gay and wicked Paris

Paris. May II.
Frances financial experts have s9~
mitted their worry because the Frerch
public will not pay the taxes whZar
have been levied, their difficulty benz
almost as great as that caused by thel
vast. but inefficient organization OF
CLERKS. 1t has been found, in fact, that
previous treasury chiefs in the earlier
republics as we'll as during the empire
and the kingdom, left almost nothing
on which new taxes could be imposed.
The taxes now being collected are
in fact merely an increase of those
fixed during the last $50 years, the era
of systematic levies commencing in
the days of Deschienes, who went to
such limits that angry citizens caused
his arrest and almost hanged him.
Nevertheless. Frenchmen to-day are
still paying the Government special
tax on playing cards and on the stamped
official letter heads inaugurated by
Deschienes. At the same time a tax
has been fixed on hats. dress goods, eggs.
leather, baptisms and marriages.
So reviled was Deschenes that Die
done, the historian. predicted his prompt
acceptance as Satan's prime minister.
Able Terray, a century later. tried
the rapid but painless method of in
creasing the Governments funds by In
ducing bankruptcy, demanding that all
banks send to Paris their gold reserve
and then lowering the value OF the out
standing coins. BY this means-com-
parative with modern inflation-he sue
ceeded In paying debtS at about 10 per
cent. of their real value Then when
the treasury was ready by simple de-
cree it restored the normal exchange
4 rates. This system was so tragic thai
in one year there were 1900 bank
ruptcies and 200 suicides.
With the inflationists gaining strength
here now, the memory OF the "Assignst''
crash Is causing some concern and pr -
ably will be the factor that will declcs

The fact is that tax collecting he
now is an impossible task. and unless
an army OF gendarmes and bookkeepers

in the days Of Peter the Great. or the
