PARIS IS GAY
DESPITE WAR
People Accept AIT Prisations In
Cheerful Mood, Swiss
Writer Says.
EVERY ONE SAVES FOOD
Posters Remind Citizens That conser-
walton VIII, Hasten American
Army, by Reducing Cargo
Space in Shipping.

Berne.-The correspondent OF the
Herne Bund sends his paper a de-
scription of life in Paris, which is
published under the caption, ssVar
Life In France; Paris as 1t Eats ead
Saves" The article says:
'Who would have thought possible
before The war d world city la exist
ence two days march behind the but
tie front? During the first war weeks,
after the governments departure to-
Bordeaux, Paris had been somewhat
deserted. But since then everything
Is back. The big hotels never did
better than just now. In the streets
there Is d traffic that has never been
beaten. The stranger notices the
many uniforms he thinks the French
capital big army camp, where MILF
tary men from all corners of the world
meet.
Used to Uniforms.
ssThe Partisan long ago became used
to the uniforms and forgot that once
there was time when women We're
the only ones who added color to a
street scene. Man gets used to every
thing. After while one found the
dark streets quite natural. One paid
the high war prices without blinking.
One submitted to the necessity of a
sugar card and learned to get along
with moderate coal supply In win
ter.
Lately. however, the Parisian ex-
perieneed things that reminded him OF
the war rather impressiyely. The
latest visit of German airplanes re-
suited in energetic measures for pros
lection. AT all the beautiful monu-
ments sand bags are piled high. On
many large buildings tablets are
posted saying there is bombproof
cellar there and how many people 1t
will shelter. When darkness appears
Paris wraps Itself In blue veil,
which Is very becoming.
"The electric arc lights, the gas Ian.
terms Of all descriptions are painted
blue. In tram cars, In the subway, In
the suburban trains, the light Is blue.
Brisk auto traffic is not without dam
ger under such circumstances.
Practice Economy.
seMeasures of economy are now taken
up iii earnest. Who wants to drink
sweet coffee III the cafe has to bring
his own sugar or be satisfied with the
saccharine tablet the walter Will hand
him. Cakes, pastry and candy are not
| made any longer. Confectioners are
put entirely out of business. The tea
| houses, too, are In bad fix. No more
sugar or sweetmeats, not even sand
j witches, are to be had. And two francs
for such a cup of tea is pretty good
price.
.The authorities figure everybody
will be sensible enough to see that
saving is the pab4otic duty of every
non-combatant. Clever posters tell the
people transportation of food takes np
cargo space that ought to be used for
American troops and war material. Sc
every citizen can see he will hasten
tlle arrival DC American help and thus
support the French poilu by his own
I moderation and abstemiousness.n
