PARIS, April 6.-The extraordinary outburst of patriotism that is sweeping over France has reached such propor- tions that it is now the chief subject of discussion among Parisians and foreign residents. Since the crisis with Germany on the subject of Morocco last summer a revival of the military spirit and wave of patriotism have set in throughout the country. An op- portunity for the expression of lhis sentiment was presented when prom inent Paris newspapers started fund for the gift of aeroplanes for military purposes to the government.
 France has reached the definite, con clusion that the aeroplane will be her great weapon in time of War. and. the patriotic movement, therefore, has centered on the practical scheme of furnishing the nation with sufficient laeroplanes to make France a formid able leader in aerial navigation.
 The movement has passed like an electric spark all over France, and in almost every city. town and hamlet public subscriptions have been opened for the presentation of aeroplanes to the army. Men, women and children north and south, east and west, are contributing their mite to the further ance of the cause, and it is believed that when the national fund is com pleted the citizens aeroplane flotilla will astound the world with its numer- ical strength.
 Americans Join Sport.
 Americans in Paris, joining in the spirit of the movement, have started in on their own account and have opened a subscription to which large number of them have already contri- buted. The organizers, in a public let ter, state that Frenchmen helped the American Revolutionary army, and it would now be very fitting and graceful for Americans to aid in the building up of a great French aerial fleet. The letter continues: The measure of this service may be small in comIa:i- son with that of the original but the sentiment is big and noble, and such action We think would harmonize very well with the fact that American gen jus first made aviation practicable. The American residents oi France hone to collect about 5000, which will be handed over 10 the government for the purchase of an aeropiane.
 There is still another way in which French patriotism is being re-awail- ened. When French soldiers return to their barracks at nightfall in Paris they are accompanied by military lands, and often they carry lighted torches This has come to he known as the 'torchlight tattoO,' and it isl no uncommon sight now to see hun dreds of civilians, their martial and patriotic spirit aroused by the sWlng- ing march of the soldiers, fall into line from the side walk and follow the ln- fantrymen to their quarters, while crowds looking on cheer repeatedly and enthusiastically for the French army.
