PARIS WILD WEST PARK

Was Stamping Ground of Buffalo
Bill Many Years AGO.

Paris. France-BuffaIo Park,
just outside the gates of Paris to-
ward Neuilly. has been taken over
by the American Red Cross to house
its lorries and ambulances.
Buffalo Park Is the old stamping
ground of Buffalo Bill and his troupe
of wild West" American cowboys
and redskins. Here thousands of
Parisians thrilled at the hold-up of
the old QeadwOod coach in the days
when Col. Cody toured Europe.
Now Buffalo Park Is another kind
OF an American institution. Fifty
or sixty automobile trucks are
parked there. all bearing the stamp
Of the American Red Cross and drfy-
en- by young Americans. Where the
indian ponies and the bronchos used
to be tethered, the lorries await the
call of duty. Large fve-ton trucks,
little roadsters just uncased and set
up, and easy-rlding stan cars, have
taken the place of Wild Western
mustangs and the big-wheeled tnnl.
for gasoline reminds one vaguely
of the abandoned stage coach.
One who listens to the tales of
the twenty ambulance drivers who
went out from the park few days
ago to face four days and nights
of battle and brought back two of
their own number to the hospital,
will realize that the story of Ameri-
can adventure did not end when the
last redskin left the old enclosure.
