Paris Celebrates Raid.
(By William Philip Simms.)

Paris, March 23.-Paris celebrated

just as San Francisco celebrates NeM
Year Is eve.
When the news spread late yesterday
that a Zeppelin had left Soissons for
Paris, the people of the city turned out
in great crowds that filled the streets.
The old'time Partisan spirit, suppressed
much Of the time since the war, seemed
to come into its own again. The peo-
pie Of Paris, who nave been solemn
with good cause through many long
months, seized upm this opportunity
for merrymuking
The carnival spirit, starting in Mon
marte, was infectious and spread swift.
ly throughout the city. Soon horns and
rattles and other noise.maldng devices
were everywhere in evidence, and the
crowds continued their hilarious prom.
enading with laughter, song and music,
Throughout the night, despite d driz.
cling rain, 1t was not until daybrealN
that the throngs dispersed, when it was
announced that the Zeppelin had turn
ed back and would not visit Paris.
Following the second Zeppelin threat
within As hours, however, committee
of deputies conferred with Premier
Vivian today to plan means Of com.
batting air attacks. The conference
was also attended by the leading off
GERS of the aero branch Of the army.
Several officials expressed tne fear
that If a big Zeppelin, heavily laden
with explosives, should be brought
ltumblng to the earth in the middle OF
Paris, an explosion with heavy casual
ties might result, For this reason, the
ordinary methods Of opposing airships
with aero guns are being modified.

He told in great detail the gruesome
story Of his night Of slaughter.

The recent indictments in New York
in connection with ships which it is
alleged furnished coal at sea to German
warships, in violation of American
neutrality, it is known, caused the
British embassy to call the attention
of the state department to what ap.
peared to be lax enforcement of the
law. 1t was only a few days ago that
officials investigated reports of a plot
to hurry German merAhaut steamships
to sea from New York. Where there
is good reason to believe that ship

to violate neutrality, the case probably
will be referred to Washington. The
treasury department, however, will rely
largely upon the collectors to handle
each situation as it arises.
New York, March 23,-Because of
the report that German lines tied up
at Hoboken since the war began were
preparing for a dash to sea, the gov
ernment set destroyers, including the

mouth, No ships will be allowed tC
leave without clearance papers
