Paris. Dec. ,.
Residents Of towns In the neighbor-
hood Of forts In the Paris area have
been In a state OF nervous terror during
the last month. when no less than eight
mysterious connagrauons occurred In
three separate forts. Although military
officials attribute these fires 70 probable
careiessness by workers In throwing
away cigarettes before leaving the forts
for the night, moro serious rumors have
II that there is definite Communist
plot for the destruction Of military sup
plies in the Paris area.
Most OF the forts contain large depots
of gas shells. and II Is feared that un-
less greater vigilance Is exerted such
towns as Issy. Moulineux and Aubervil-
liers might suffer night deluge o.
asphyxiating gas with heavy loss Of
life. Army officials are reported 20 Rave
obtained evidence last week that a group
OF radicals serving in Paris regiments
are responsible for the incendiarlsm, hut
the result OF their investigation Is eth
being kept secret. II Is generally be-
licved, however. that the plot is much
wider. as since the fires started there
have been repeated discoveries of aerial
torpedoes. live shells and hand grenades
IN ash cans In the Paris streets.
