PARISIANS TREAT
COMMANDMENT BY
BIG GUN AS JOKE
Took Upon Those Who
Leave City In Fear AS
Deserters.

Paris, April 26-Many Parisians,
after harboring refugees from north
prn France for three and a half years
have become refugees themselves. So
many of them have fed to the sunny
south that most of the resorts are
reported full to overlooking. This
exodus is attributed to the afr-raids
but it Is by no means an indication
that Parisians have been terrorized
by the Goths The circumstances
connected with the. casualty lists show
that the victims were not frightened
enough, many deaths resulting from
rash imprudence.
The average citizen is so proud of
the share he takes in the general
danger in these raids that he regards
the fugitfves to the south as desert
ers in the face of the enemy. Thus
has been opened a debate as to the
proprfety of people of means aban-
doning the city. The majority agree
with the philosopher, Emile Boutroux
who holds that the rich especially
are in duty bound to stick to their
posts as an example to those who are
unable to leave.
