Incendiarism Entering France

Twenty-five hundred women, convicted of sprinkling buildings with petroleum and setting them on fire, have been sentenced to banishment from France to New Caledonia, a French island. At the same time, it is announced that Gambetta, of balloon fame, the Minister who made himself so notorious for his absurd proclamations while the Germans were besieging Paris, is about to return to France. This being the case, about as much incendiarism is going into France as they are sending out.
