PARISIANS ARE
EAGER FOR THRILLS
When Police Ordered All Lights Out,
the People were Rather
Pleased,

[By William Philip Simms, United
Press STAFF Correspondent
PARIS. Feb. 3.-(By mail to New
York. )-There is no city on earth
which loves thrill better than Paris
loves one, and tonight she got a
dandy, a thrill much as only a Yep
Ipelin can procure. Not that one even
started rumor that a Zeppelin was
coming but that Paris took her first
real precaution against one.
AS the night stole on, with the
clouds hanging low and drizzle filing
the air, policemen called on all Pari-
slams. He ordered curtains drawn
over all windows, blinds drawn or the
lights put out And Paris obeyed
thrilled through and through. Back
Of closed shutters the population sat
and had delighted feelings steal over
them for at least maybe a Zeppelin
would come and they would sec what
the war was like.
True, Parisians said to each other.
they had seen German aeroplanes and
hearo the little bombs explode which
fell from them. This was quite thrill
ing for time but the novelty soon
wore off and the German Tauben quit
coming. A Zeppelin is a far different
thing; 1t is much bigger and its
bombs are corresponding larger. A
Zeppelin could really lombard the
city and that would be genuinely
thrilling and quite remindful of what
the boys at the front hear and see
and daily undergo.
really believe Paris rather hopes
a Zeppelin will come this way. OF
course they don't wish anybody to be
killed but it would be frankly thrill
ing. I am sure nobody woul6 be
afraid not even if whole fleet Of
Zeppelins should circle over the town;
there would be no panic: just sincere
curiosity to see what the Zeppelin
would look like, what the bombs would
sound like and what would happen.
The possibility of raid has come
home to Paris for, the first time to-
night. For the initial time she Is en-
joying the Zeppelin thrill. am sure,
as she sits here in the dark tonight,
connoisseur in thrills that she is. she
Is enjoying the situation much as the
old fashioned gourmet loves his dainty
dish or his wonderful old Burgundy
from away back yonder.
The policeman mas just called on
me. He cam, up to the Office with my
concierge. Too much light still COM
ing from my window, he says, and,
having no curtains to draw and no
blinds to close. both policeman and
concierge, aided by myself and office
boy, have put heavy paper shades
over th., lamps.
AS the policeman and concierge de-
part I open the window and look out
The street is almost pitch black
There is scarcely street lamp light
ed anywhere. Paris must have looked
like this FIVE hundred years ago In
the houses opposite there are light
sits in the blinds. In the cafe across
the way but one dim gas light is burn
ing. There. too. are no curtains or
blinds and the only alternative was to
reduce the lighting to minimum.
Paris may not be hiding her light I'M
der bushel, but she is hiding them
just the same.
And everybody is having just the
thrillingest time!
