REPRISALS DIVIDE
 OPINION IN FRANCE
Deputy FelTo Will Seek to Limit Zone of AirpIane
 Activity.

Paris. March 1S.-A debate ap- pears to be in prospect in the cham Der of deputies on the subject of re- prisals for aerial attacks on Paris. Recently there has been a revival of discussion concerning the possibility of an agreement on the part of the belligerents to cease reprisals of all kinds, particularly air raids over open towns outside the fighting zone. This discussion originated in the re- port that the Central Powers had made a proposal to this effect through neutrals, at the same time agreeing to give up the use of gas aud liquid fire at the front Since that time the Germans have intensified their air raids, instead of taking a step in the opposite direction.
 In France there always has been a strong element hostile to lombard ment of any but purely military ob- jectives. This element, though di- unfinished in size, is still active and is certain to bring on a debate if it should appear the government has decided to make reprisa1s. Premier Clemenceau has been quoted various ly on the subject but generally is un- derstoOd not to be in favor of repris- als on Indefended towns. He is be- HeVed to favor air raids made as far as possible within the German from tier, but strictly upon establish ments of military value.
 The Interpolation prepared by Deputy Mayors, radieal-socialist, will be presented on the return of the premier. Abel Ferrero, radica1-so- cialist deputy and an active member of the army committee, who has in- tervened frequently during the war in regard to important questions, an- nounces he will ask the government to propose to the enemy through neu- trals that all reciprocal action of the various aviation corps be limited to the zone of the bOmbardment by can non of the longest range.
 The objection is raised that Nancy, Dunkirl1 and Rheims would thus be at the mercy of the Germans where as the Allies only could reply against Belgian, French or Alsatian towns.
