PARIS Sept. "a, Special to The Bee -
The government is said to be considering
whether or not IL would be wise 20 slow
down a little in the building OF warships
until the availability Of aeropanes in war
fare is determined by a long series OF ex-
periments. The success OF American air
ship men in hurting imitation bombs within
the lines OF imaginary battleships has
aroused the interest and anxiety Of every
navy officer in Europe, especially the !
naval officers OF France, who are among
the most practical men in the world and !
who are thinking and experimenting when
most other naval men are strutting around
their capital. French navy men realize
that it is a possibility that the aeroplane
may place the modern battleship on a par
with the old time wooden vessel OF war

great loss But memories cling TO one OF

abode OF four famous Partisan beauties at
time before the b0ulevards existed The
latest OF them was Madame Recamier,

next beauty was an accomplished actress,
Madeleine RaucOurL She was already Iiv-

any other apital in Europe the mysterious
impulse which carries cities westwards.
