back door, went stealthily into the room

Communicating with Paris.

The methods employed by the Partisan
authorities for communicating with the
provinces during the siege of Paris were
perseyering and ingenious. The princi-
pal means Of sending letters was by bal
Icons and carrier pigeons, but many
other plans were tried. 1t was almost
impossiblefo for a messenger to get through
the German lines. Even when other
difficulties could be overcome the dam
ger of a search and a discovery of the
dispatch was great.
Many Of the messengers made incisions
in the skin and hid a dispatch under the
epidermis. Others provided themselves
with hollow ten centime pieces or hol-
low keys, which could be opened like a
box and in which dispatches could be
hidden. One wa accustomed to hide
his dispatch under an artificial hollow
tooth. These dispatches of course were
written in cipher, and covered only a
fragment of paper.
Attempts were made to cross the
enemy's lines by following the caves and
natural tunnels under the left branch of
the Seine, and by diving and crossing
the bed of the river in diving suits, but
these plans failed.
A curious scheme was the putting of
letters into little hollow spheres of zinc,
and throwing these spheres into the
Seine or its tributaries, hoping that they
would float to Paris. They did float to
Paris, but not until after the armistice.
1t was supposed that they were stopped
by dams. or that they were discovered
and held back by the Germans until the
siege was at an end.-Youth's Compan-
