HARD HIT.
Executioners Out of Work. "MUSTN'T STARVE." (Received 10.30 a.m.) PARIS, February 20. The long idleness of the executioners has become an affair of State. Three executioners are each paid £2.3 per annum, plus fees for each execution, but there has only been one job among the three in the last eight months, whereas pre-war there was at least one or two in as many months. M. Poincare has promised to consider the men's grievance and to see thnt if there is nobody to guillotine the executioners must not starve.
