Manager Grimes will be here a week from today, a, day before the Americans stage their first outdoor practice at the park. With him will come a second baseman named Clancy, whom the local pilot says is one of the snappiest inf1eIders he has glued his eyes on in many moons. Last season he played with several clubs in the Southern League and showed lot of class. He will be tried out at second. Grimes will look after first with Braun at short and Bill L1ai at third. The outf1elders will be Howie Baker, Martin, Eddie Kelly, who played with the shipyard team at Hogs Island, Philadelphia, last season, and Hank Brackett-pro- viding the last mentioned player signs before the first of next month.

tai was constantly crowded, but the
disa ppearance OF the British and
American soldiers who used 70 help
augment the citys population has
more than been counteracted by the
tremendous influx OF permanent res
ideuts from the devastated regions.
Many of these latter were refugees
g. the south Of France during the
war. but have now moved 20 the
capital. Great numbers Of civilian
foreigners are also replacing the al
lied soldiers. During the war the
population was kept down some
what because OF the proximity of
the Germans and because OF the air
raids and long-range guns Since
the removal OF all such dangers all
Parisians have returned TO their city

Paris was never before so crowded
as at present.
Lodgings are hardly 10 be found.
The advertisement Of an apartment

Rooms Are Scarce.
Though the armies have ceased
their requisitloning Of hotels for ad-
ministrative purposes. there has
boon no relative change in the scar
city OF rooms. The city has in
creased in the number of visitors
much more rapidly than the hotels
have been released. incidentally
great numbers of families which
before the war lived in apartments
are now occupying hotel quarters
The costs of maintaining separate
homes has placed them completely
out OF the reach of many formerly
well-known families. Even with the
high hotel prices the latter are still
much cheaper than homes.
The revival OF the life Of Paris
has been accompanied TO a very
marked extent by the reopening Of
many stores closed during the war
Great numbers Of small shopkeepers
closed their stores because of mobil-
ization. Many of the former propri-
etors have not returned, having fall

war dangers are returning to their

stores remain unused. whereas until
some months ago thousands OF
stores and shops. many OF consid-

Dancing All the Vogue.

responsible for the popularity Of
this pastime. While A. +. +. was in

converted into a dance hall by the
American soldiers. The French have
kept up the habit
Fairs. circuses, races and automo-
bile shows are having their first
productions" since 1913 and 1914.
With the resumption OF the more
nearly normal life, the means of
transportation have been improved
The autO-bus lines which were prac-
tically suppressed during the war
have resumed operation, the sub
ways have returned TO pre-war
hours. the restrictions have been re-
moved from taxi-cab services. In
cidentally the number Of privately
owned automobiles in use has
grown immensely. During the war
practically no private autos were in
use. Special permission was needed
before gasoline could be purchased.
The restrictions of this nature have
new been removed. The only him
drance TO the more extensive use Of
autos now is the high prices which
are demanded. Autos cost seventy
to a hundred percent more now than
in 1914, while gasoline. tires and ac-
cessories have gone up even more.
New Buildings Going Up.
For the first time in more than
five years, new buildings are being
constructed throughout Paris and
France. The painting of buildings
has also been commenced in whole

PARIS. Nov. Il The change
from an era Of glory and suffering
and heroics 20 the prosaic matter
Of-fact daily routine OF earning a
living has been far too abrupt for
the people OF France
So fundamentally was the life Of
every man, woman and child of
France affected by the long strug-
gle. that the one year since the sign
ing OF the armistice has proved 20
be too short a time for the readjust-
ment OF the mental processes. In
their minds the people are living
over the terrible days between
August. 1914, and November. 1918.
In many cases the people cannot
realize that the war is really over
Such a great world revolution has
proven too unusual 10 be fully COM
pretended by the people who played
the greatest part in the change.
Armies DemobIIIzed.
The armies OF France are demob-
sliced. The men no longer wear
their uniforms The heroes OF last
year. the far-famed Poilus. are now
engaged in uninteresting tasks
such as driving street cars, tending
crops. or selling ribbons. To all
outward appearances Paris is a city
of civilians Very few men in either
the uniforms Of France or the al
lies are 20 be seen on the boule-
wards. But the change from hori-
zon blue and puttees to civilian
clothes has not been accompanied
by a complete mental demobiliza-
ton.
\ very noticeable let-down in hu-
man effort has marked the past
year. This has been especially true
among the women-the mothers
and wives OF the fighters. Many
women who endured wars hard
ships without complaint and with
unceasing work have been COM
PEELED TO take long rests. many even
have been sickly ever since the war
strain was so suddenly removed.
Statistics show that the number of
women treated in French hospitals
was much greater during the year
following the armistice than during
The year preceding the armistice.
Doctors are agreed that this condi-
ton has been due to the violent re-
action following the very long peri
Cd when the womanhoOd OF France

The greatest efforts are being put
forth 20 remove the worn and dirty
aspect which war service gave TO
French cities. Streets. houses. parks
and monuments are receiving the
first attention since 1914. The work
of removing the city wall which has
hindered the expansion of Paris has
begun. The extensive ground area
heretofore taken up by the wall and
the surrounding moat viii be turned

Reconstruction work in the de-

towns. as well as the restoration of
the fields torn by trenches will be
carried on as soon as sufficient Ia
borers are available. France is
awaiting the arrival Of workers
from Germany. a hundred thous-
and recruits for this work have also
been promised by Poland.
Foreign Trade Resumed.
Foreign trade has been resumed
TO a limited extent. Though the
monthly figures are increasing they

Political changes have not yet had

Forced Economy Shown.
The forced economy OF the peo-

predominance OF pre-war clothes
that are worn. This is especially
among the discharged soldiers. The
prices now demanded for mems

can afford to buy. The others are

During the war the annual number
Of French weddings fell off over
