TA—14 = HENRI GUILBEAUX GIVES UP IN PARIS Returns to Face Sentence of Death Passed 13 Years Ago. Special Dispatch to The Star. PARIS. September 28.—When a sen- tence of death has hung over one's head like the sword of Damocles for 13 years it undoubtedly becomes irksome. Henri Guilbeaux found it so. He walked into the Palace of Justice the other day and gave himself up. A few hours later he was locked up in_Cherche-Midi Prison, waiting for the Peris court-martial to decide what is to be done with him. Guilbeaux was mobilized in the French army in 1914, but discharged a few months later on account of health. He had been a radical and pacifist jour- nalist and promptly went to Switzer- land, where he joined Romain Rolland and other exiled pacifists. Subsequently he associated with Lenin and Trotzky and was instrumental in deciding the former to return to Russia and seize the power from the flabby hands of Ker- He went to Russia himself, but apparently was not given the reception he expe for he now says with some bitterness: “If you want to be well re- | ceived in Soviet Russia it is better not | to be a Bolshevik sympathizer.” | In 1919, when the Paris cort-martial was dealing with the numerous treason cases that had accumulated, Guilbeaux ‘was condemned to death by default. The charge was that he had tried, from for- | eign soil. to provoke a revolution in France, and to that end had conspired with enemy subjects. Since the sentence was pronounced he has carefully avoided entering French territ ow, however, he says he is homesick and furthermore that he was unjustly condemned. He a a new trial and a chance to clear himself. It is understood that the court- martial will reopen the affair in about three months. The usual procedure in there have been several since to convict the accused of a Qess grave offense already covered by the amnest; v. If this plan is followed in Guilbeaux’s case he will then be re- leased. The taxi, not the tramear or the aut bus, is the democratic mode of convey- ance in France. Strangers are often surprised to see the readiness with which working-class families hop into taxis. During the vacation period it is a common sight to see half a dozen happy members of the proletariat bowl- ing along the road in a taxi, looking for & picnic ground. The fact is that for three people or more a taxi costs less than any other mode of transportation. Bus and tram fares have been hoisted repeatedly in Tecent years, but taxi-meter rates have scarcely budged. And there is no extra charge for extra passengers A working-class family can take a taxi 10 miles into the country. keep it waiting an hour while they ‘eat their unch and then ride home in it, all for Jess than $2.50 at the regu Tate, and in the case of drivers who own their cabs it is often possible to bargain for a reduction, particularly if the driver is invited to share the lunch. Nearly every French workman, too, has a cousin or a pal who drives a taxi | and asks no more than the cost of the | gasoline for a Sunday outing. } | One of the favorite jibes of Paris used to be at the American custom of going coatless in hot weather. Pictures of shirt-sleeved New Yorkers were a source of great amusement to the| French, who stuck to coats and vests, | no matter how hot the weather. | This year, however, August broke all Tecords for intensity and duration of | the heat-wave and after a few days of | courageous sweltering Parisians threw | propriety to such winds as they could | find and boldly confronted the boule- | vards in their shirts, with or without suspenders asse has always done much | as 10 pleased, but it pleased during this | Tot spell to do more than usual in the | way of undress.
