LONDON CALM AS
 HUN ATTACK OPENS
Bonar Law Assures Public All Precautions Have Been Taken

London, March 22-The German attack against the British lines was on larger scale than any made thus far during the war on any part of the western front. Andrew Bonar Law. spokesman of the government told the house of commons yesterday.
 Our outpost troops" he said have been withdrawn on one part of the line which was very lightly held. This was nothing more than was ex- pected, and was in accordance with instructions. There was nothing in the nature of a surprise about the at tack.'
 Bonar Law reminded the house that he had given warning a week ago that if such an attack occurred the attacking party would gain a cer- tain amount of ground, and the gov ernment's information so far, he said did not lead to the belief that any thing beyond that had happened.

 DISTURB FRENCH
Stories Of Impending Disaster Be.
 ing Circulated in Paris

Paris, March 22.--A striking
 of Paris to any one who has returned to the city after 8 four days absence. Tn every street, one sees criS-crosses of stout paper gummed to the Wan-
 dow-panes of stores and apartments
 to lessen the risk of breakage by con-
 cussion. The expectation of further
 air raids plus the effects of last Fri
 days plosion-windows were brok-
 en even on the left bank of the Seine
 in parts of the city furthest from the
 scene of the disaster-have led Pari-
 sians to take the same precautions
 that are to be noted in every town or
 village within the sound of the guns
 at the front.
 Tn the smart quarters of the city
 the proprietors of business houses
 have devoted characteristic French
 taste to the window protection. In
 stead of the regular arrangements of
 small squares that are universal be-
 hind the firing line, there are five or seven pointed stars, massive lattice work designs, reminiscent of a Jap anese screen, and even elaborate, heiroglyphic symbols. Paris takes this opportunity of showing her pride in her new situation of "a War-zone city"
 Although some alarm was caused by Fridays explosion, it was rather due to the fact that most of the people were startled by the idea of an un- announced air raid-which they all at 1 first considered it to be--rather than ! by the actual danger involved. Paris l is getting used to air raids. It may be | said now that any attempt on the part l of the enemy to intimidate the pop 1 ulation already is q. failure. But the l Germ ans have not renounced thelE l campaign against civilian morale.

DESERTERS STRIKE
 AGAINST WORKING
Refugees in Switzerland BalI1 at Per- forming Manual Labor and Or
 ganize Own Soviet in Zurich.

Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Zurich, Switzerland, Feb. 11.-A strike of deserters'' has been in pro- gress here for some weeks. The twelve to thirteen thousand deserters, mostly from the central empires, who have taken refuge in Switzerland are as rebellious to service in the field and the factory as they are in the front line trenches, and most of them re- fuse to work.
 Until recently every deserter who could find his way across the frontier into Switzerland was given shelter with no other condition than that he pay his taxes and observe the law. The number continually increased and on the occasion of the riots in Zurich the federal authorities discovered that there were too many of these deser- ters among the leaders of the dis order It was then decided to order a civil mobilization that would en- able the government to round up all unoccupled foreigners and set them to work.
 The strike of the deserters followed this mobilization. The deserters pre- tended to the right of asylum in the
 
 work. They were supported by 8 cer- tain element of the Swiss Socialist party with maximalist tendencies.
 we came here to escape servi- tude,'' the deserters said, ''we reject all obligations of service, military or civil; we will obey no order and we summon the socialist party of Swift zerland to sustain us immediately"
 The socialist party of Switzerland met at Often in general convention and, though sustaining the strikers in a. platonic way, invited them to go back to work. ThereupOn the de- serters and the extremists of the socialist party organized 8. sort of soviet in Zurich.
 Socialist members of the Fedora, Council are endeavorins to get the government to annuI the civil mobili. zation decree but public opinion in z vast majority is stoutly opposed tC any concessions to the deserters.

side" continued Ronar Law, the house and country will not be un- necessarily alarmed by information of that kind. Our staff and the Yer sailles council naturally have been considering what might happen in the event of an attack. And I may tell the house that this attack has been launched on every part or our line we were informed would be attacked. if an attack were undertaken at all.
 II may say that only three days ago we received information at the cabi- net from headquarters in France that they had definitely arrived at the con- clusion that an attack would be launched immediately, and as they were prepared to meet it the country need have TO cause for anXiety.'

look like cave, but palace chamber,

had been painted pure white, except
for wide blue frieze, with line Of

A dozen lamps were burning, set In

intervals. They were exactly like the

of red, suffusing everything In a golden
glow.
Opposite him was a curtain, rather

Indian draperies hung down from II

minutes before he satisfied himself
that the mans breast did not rise and
fall under the bronze Roman armor
and that the woman's jeweled gauzy
stun was still. Imagination played
such tricks with him that in the still
ness he imagined he heard breathing.
After he was sure they were both
dead, he went nearer, but 1t was a
minute yet before he knew the woman
was not she. At first wild thought
possessed him that she had killed her
self.
The only thing to show who he had
been were the letters S. P. @. r. on Il
