PARIS PROTECTED

Balloons and Rockets Are ST.
feCtive Against AirplaneS.
Used at Ounkirk.

International News Service:
PARIS Cby mail) May 23.-Par-
is is now guarded by innumerable
sausage" balloons, from which dan
gle wires. The balloons are sent
up eac hevening TO a considerable
height and remain there until dawn,
when they are hauled down. En-
tangle.cent in the wires of the bal
looms is instantly fatal to German
air raiders.
since the last air raids great
progress has been made In the sys-
tematic organization of the defenses
of Paris against the Gothas. The
number of batteries around Paris
has been greatly augmented, and
other means, which cannot be men
toned. have been taken 10 guard
the city.
The "sausages" maintain the mo-
bile defense Of the capital and also
do good service by a special sig
mailing system. Attached to each
balloon is a small car shaped like
a good sized doll house with peak
ed roof. From these cars observ-
ers on the outskirts Of the city keep
nightly vigil for the raiders and di-
rect the French barrage FIRE.
The huge yellow silk gas bags
usually are sent up in pairs and be
tween them are stretched nets of
checkerboard and other designs. The
practical value of the balloons and
nets has been proved at Dunkirk.
" 1ich has been virtually free from
air raids since they were Installed.
1t is also reported that the Germans
have stretched similar defenses
around their submarine base at
Zeebrugge.
Strangely enough, two of the first
balloons to be sent up were hoisted
not many yards from the spot where
Montgolfier, in 1888, made the first
balloon ascension in history. Not
only are the principal buildings in
Paris protected by these balloons,
but even great stretches OF the
suburbs The system is being eX-
tended daily and promises to be even
more useful than the aerial bar
RACES. the effectiveness of which
has been so much disputed.
As an additional defense meas
ure. NJ MarcOnnet, OF the depart
ment of arts and manufactures, has
recommended the use Of rockets fill
ed with cheddite which will rip by
the force Of their explosion the
mem branes of airplane wings and
bring enemy raiders crashing to the
ground.
The rockets which he has con-
structed are similar to those sent
up 1T the front. but are many times
more powerful No special cannon
or apparatus is needed to send them
up. The rockets break at height
OF from 2.40O 10 $500 feet Their
contents spread out into dense
cloud Of asphyxiating gas Their
rending power is enormous.

war order for his firm, and natural
~ he saves the girl from the designs
of his business rival and in the end

More Arrests To
Be Made of Sim
Feiner Leaders

DUBLIN, May 23.-Mrs. Thomas
J. Clark. whose husband was put
to death for the part he took in the
Irish uprising of 1916. was arrested
Wednesday.
LONDON, May 3.-Indications
that the government has not yet
completed all the arrests contem-
plated by il are seen in the appre-
hension in Dublin late Tuesday night
of p. L. Burke, the leading Sim
Feiner in the county of Monaghan.
Several Sim Fein leaders in various
districts evaded the police after the
coup was made in Dublin.
The authorities are directing their
attention TO all persons who are
regarded as suspicious and such
men are being stopped in the neigh
borhOod OF Dublin and searched.
All the best known men of what is
regarded as the revolutionary wing
of the Sim Fem are already in Jail,
but there is a general impression
that many influential participants in
the alleged conspiracy are persons
never heard of by the Irish public.
The order for the internment of
Sim Feiners taken in custody &C
cording to a Times dispatch from
Dublin, states that if within seven
days from the date Of the serving
of the internment order any in
termed person making any report 10
the chief secretary II will be re-
ferTed 10 the advisory committee
which deals with the internment of
aliens, and will be considered.
