MAKE UP A "QUATER''

streets of Montparnasse in radiant
| joy for the first time in a year.
For here, in the heart OF the Latin
Quarter, great part Of the popula-
[ tion has always consisted of students
in the various art schools, in the
ancient university of the Sorbonne. in
the schools of medicine, law and engi-
neering and in the college of France.
With the outbreak of war it was as If
a great plague had swept over the
Quarter. Almost no men were left.
Now all is alive again in the Quar-
ter. Tables in front of the cafes
stretch out to the very legal limit of
the awnings and beyond. In front of
the cafes, in the parks, but especially
on the trans and trains bound coun-
tryward, gay parties Of artists in earth
stained regimentals and models in
their bravest best, celebrate the res
pite from fighting that the War De-
partment has granted. There is
something odd in the sight of young
soldier, girl on his arm and paint
box instead of a knapsack strapped on
his back, off for a day at the joyous
work of creation, after so many
months of the grim work of death.
On the opposite bank of the Seine,
on the heights of Montmartre, the
scene created by the temporary home
coming of so many of the country's
soldiers is very different, although no
less animated. Here, many of the
permissionaires," as the soldiers on
leave are called, are seeing Paris for
the first time. People of the country,
inhabitants of small, provincial towns,
whose means have never permitted
them to visit Paris, seize the oppor-
tunity on their way back from the
front to pass day or two in the city.
Sometimes their wives and families
meet them in the capital, and together
they make pilgrimage to the points
of interest of the ancient city. 1t is
the hour for many French people to
see France first.
The churches seem to be the most
frequented of historic spots visited by
these soldiers on their vacations
Notre Dame, the Madeleine, the new
building of the Church of the Sacred
Heart of Jesus on the top of Mont
martre, overlooking not Paris alone
but the whole Seine valley, are
crowded from early morning until
darkness by long, shuffling lines of

in the presence of an interested

ELEVEN BOATS ARE
LOST AT NATCHEz
ONE STEAMER MISSING AND ONE
PERSON BELIEVED TO BE
DROWNED.

.Natchez, Miss, Oct. 1.-Eleven
barges loaded with coal and two pump
boats of the Pittsburg Coal Company
were sunk here by the tropical storm
from the gulf. The loss is estimated
at $4,000.
| The steamer Thomas II. Benton.
owned by the Jeffris Lumber Com
pany of Jeffris, La, about 12 miles
from Natchez, broke from her moor
ings during the storm and is now eth
er adrift or lost. There was only one
man on board, the watchman, Thomas
Lincoln. The steamer Betsy Ann of
Natchez is now searching for the mis-
sing boat. Thomas Meek, a fisher
man, who was on the river during the
gale, saved the lives of a woman and
child who were in houseboat that
had been torn loose by the storm.
When found by Meek the housboat
was swamped and in sinkin- condi-
tion. In Natchez the property loss
was comparatively small. The stack
of the plant of the Mississippi Pack
ing Company was blown down and
many trees were blown across tele-
phone and electric wires. For sever
al hours there were no lights or DOW.
er. The greatest force of the storm
was apparently along the Mississip-
pi River. On the river the wind at
tanned velocity of 80 miles an hour.
With the exception of the Thomas Fl.
Benton, all packets within 100 miles
up or down the river are safe.
For 4S hours Natchez has been iso-
lated from New Orleans, there being
no train from Yazoo & Mississippi Val
ley and no wire communication, and
for "a hours cut off from other points.
On account Of all wires having been
down Natchez has been practically iso-
lated since early Wednesday night,
but SO far as can be learned there has
been but little damage to telephone
and telegraph lines between Natchez
and Jackson and between Hattiesburg
and Vicksburg. In the Louisiana ter.
ritory adjacent to Natchez the damage
is small. A number of saw mills had
stacks blown down. No loss of life
has been reported. In September,
1909, terrific storm visited here and
at this time the Pittsburg Coal Com
pany suffered heavily in the same
way.
