Say Spies in Paris
Signal to ZeppelinS

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE recent Zeppelin
raid has reopened the question Of street
lighting in Paris. One contention is
that the reduction in illumination
served no purpose, since it did not pre-
vent the airship from finding the city:
consequently more light is demanded
II Is suspected. moreover, that many OF
the lights that shine out from the in.
terror in spite Of the regulation are Of
use 10 the enemy, seeing that Zeppe-
lins can operate effectively only by
guidance from land signals.
One Of these critics even states that
German agents in Paris. warned Of the
coming Of the Zeppelins, give illumi-
mated signals from three different
points, forming a triangle, in the CEN
tre of which is docated the spot the
