dampened Paris, the Bols. the parks

modern Champs Elysees. where rehear-
sails open on Monday for the coming
season.
The riots which, within the past few
weeks have attended Saturday torch
light professions of various regiments,
have greatly disturbed the. government
The hydra headed snake of anarchy it
seems. is scotched and not killed. None
knows what might occur if a great
crisis arose in Paris: even NJ Glenn
enceau. whose patriotism lately caused
| him to throw his influence into the
scale on behalf of the new three years
service bill, Is again agitating against
the ministry. which, according to the
disorderly elements, symbolizes mill
tarism. He Is clamoring for the over
throw Of Premier Barthou.

Paris is being destroyed. The Marais.
