PARIS, August 23.-More than a
thousand policemen and infantrymen
were stationed along the streets in
the immediate vicinity of the Ameri-
can embassy. buildings today. The
police gave notice that the slightest
disorder would be sternly repressed

campaign for abolition of the death
penalty.
Both LHumanite and Libertaire
advocated huge manifestations before
the American embassy tonight and
Iibertaire printed a large scale map
showing the exact location of the
chancellery and the best means of
getting there.
L'OeuVre expressed the hope that
the execution would mot serve as a
pretext for acts Of violence, which
would only add to its useless horror. "
"Pertinax," the political writer of
the Echo de Paris. sees in the eXecu-
ton an event of information impor-
lance, because the Sacco-NanZetti case
"started a controversy in the internal
affairs of a great republic of such pro-
portions as to cause many changes"
From that angle alone, he contends,
the event is not negligible.
There were no efforts this forenoon
on the part of any groups to demon
strate in the neighborhood of the
American embassy, where all was
quiet. A heavy guard was on duty
there as well as at the consulate.
All vehicles were barred from the
street in front of the embassy except
those of persons having diplomatic
CREDENTIALS. PeQeStrlanS were divert
ed from the sidewalk to the center Of
the street.
There were some moments of ex-
oitement in the Eastille station Of the
Metropolitan, Paris subway, today
when police discovered a box equip
ped with a fuse and looking like a
dangerous bomb.
Opened with all precautions, it
proved to be filled with nails, scraps
of iron and cement, with no explosive.
To Prohibit Demonstrations.
The authorities. after a conference
between the heads Of the police and
the Surete generate, decided to pro-
hibit manifestations in front of the
American embassy planned for to-
night by Communist organizations.
Plans for the manifestations went on,
however. the committee at the same
time urging it's followers to abstain
from all violence and provocative acts
and advising them not to carry any
sort of arms.
Another bit of advice from the COM
mittee was against wearing caps, the
leaders of the Communists arguing
that the police. inibued with the idea
that caps were part of the uniform
of ''roughnecks." would quickly ar
rest cap wearers, while those in more
conventional hats might escape.
