Berne.-The correspondent of the
Berhe Bund sends his paper a de-
scriptlon of life in Paris, which is
published under the caption, WAR
Life in France; Paris AS 1t Eats snd
Saves" The article says:
"WhO would have thought possible
before the war world city in exist
ence two days march behind the bat
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 Il traffic that has never been
beaten. The stranger notices the
many uniforms; he thinks the French
capital Il big army camp. where mill
tary men from all corners of the world
meet.
Used to Uniforms.
''rhe 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 II
sugar card and learned to get along
with a moderate coal supply in win
ter.
Lately. however, the Partisan ex-
perienced things that reminded him of
the war rather impressively. The
latest visit of German airplanes re-
suited In energetic measures for pro-
lection. At all the beautiful monu-
ments sand bags are piled high. On
many large buildings tablets are
posted saying there is bombpr0of
cellar there and how many peoIit it
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 ears. in the subway. In
the suburban trains the light Is blue.
Brisk auto traffic is not without dan.
ger under such circumstances.
Practice Economy.
measures of economy are now taken
up in earnest. Who wants to drink
sweet coffee in the cafe has to bring
his own sugar or be satisfied with the
saccharine tablet the waiter 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 Il bad fix. No more
sugar or sWeetmeats, not even sand
wiches are to be had. And two francs
for such Il cup Of tea Is pretty good
price.
"The authorities figure everybody
will be sensible enough to see that
saving is the patriotic duty of every
/ n0n-combatant. Clever posters tell the
| people transportation of food takes up
cargo space that ought to be used for
/ American troops and war material. So
every citizen can see he will hasten
/ the arrival of American help ana thus
support the French p0ilu by his own
moderation and ahstemiousness."
