PARIS ONCE MORE

Arrive from Bordeaux-Par-
Lament to Meet Dec. %.

ParlS, Dec. 81 ItslueHL olHCdlIc
and Premier Viviani arrived in Paris
to-day from Bordeaux. The French
Parliament will be convened Deem
Der %.
The return of President Poincaire
to Paris from Bordeaux marks the re-
establishment of the seat of French
government in that city after an abb
sence of nearly three months. In the
early weeks &C the war, when the Ger
man armies were sweeping southwark
across France, she French government,
on September 3. issued a proclamation
announcing its temporary transference
to Bordeaux.
For several days the fate of Paris
was in doubt. The left wing Of the
Allies was flung back until, skirting
Paris, il swung to the east of the city.
Then occurred the battle of the Marine,
in which the advance of the Germans
was checked and they were forced back
to their present positions along the
Aisne.
On several occasions il was reported
that the French government, believing
the danger of the capture of Paris to
be past, would return to that city, bu;
il was not until December 3 that for
nal announcement to this effect was
made.
