1BANDITRY A CUSTOM
French Writer Lamcnts Autumn
 Crime Wave In France

French Writer Lamcnts Autumn
 Crime Wave In France
 Violent Isrimes are not the monop- oly of AInsTican gunmen and Barce- Iona pistoleros.
 Figaro (Paris) laments the crime wave that has swept over France this autumn. Bandits robbed the pay clerks of the Marseilles street rail ways, killing one and wounding .an- other in broad daylight, and disap- bearing with IF, 900 francs. Another group of bandits slugged and robbed a Paris jeweler in his shop, in broad daylight, when other customers were in the store. A list of similar violent crimes follows. The author con- ments:
 These robberies and murders, and the criminal bandits that commit them, invite certain observations. The first is that their number and their brutality no longer shock the public. Before the war, such crim- final gangs as la bande bonnot were thought extraordinary today they hardly attract remark.
 We consider braining jewellers. raiding 1 banks, robbing postoffices, and mysterious murders in the same natter of fact way that we regard motor car accidents. They seem to be becoming part of the customs of the time" Living Age.
