PURITY CRUSADE.
CLEANING UP PARIS
iV CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPY RIGHT PARIS, Oct. 4. The whole town is chuckling over the results of the “purity crusade.” Thus far the gendarmes have rounded up 7000 men and women in the notorious haunts of the Latin quarter. Many foreigners, whose paper* were hot in order, were sentenced to be deported by the police, who, having insufl'icint funds to pay for the escort of all to the frontiers, are obliged to rely on the deportees’ sense of honour. Unusually they take a ticket for the Irontier but descend in the suburbs of Paris. If the gendarmes escort them to the frontiers of Belgium or Spain, gendarmes of those countries refuse them entry.
