PARIS, July 5 (via Berlin) Paris
has settled into the kind of life II
may live until peace treaty is
signed.
Since war has washed through it,
this city is vastly changed from the
gay and brilliant center of world
pleasure which Americans knew
only year ago.
Its buildings, cafes, parks and
monuments still are here, but two
thirds of its population is scattered
over France and the German troops
are in occupation.
The occupation has not been
harsh. The French municipal adj
ministration carries on with its own
police. Frenchmen who have to deal
with the authorities deal with
Frenchmen. What laws have been
laid down by the Germans are en-
forced by the French. Neutral OBJ
servers have seen no French oppo-
Sition or disobedience.
The populace appears too thor
oughly defeated to think of anything
but acceptance.
The police force has been divided
into three sections, each headed by
a German colonel.

hors d'ouevers run about rs cents,
even for sardines on bit of toast.
Stuffed olives cost IS cents. An
order of eggs and bacon runs about

from So up-more often up. Even
a simple breakfast will run to 81,
especially if it includes orange juice.
Mattresses invariably bring coffee,
without instructions, as soon as you
sit down for breakfast. There is
can of condensed milk, with two
holes punched in the top, on each
table. There is a decent interval,
while you get the coffee going, be-

But it is at least one hundred
feet from the bushes to the door"
HE came walking toward me
out into the moonlight by the lily

he was expectin' somebody. When
he got to the lily pond, something
whizzed close by his head and he
looked up. I thought it sounded like

He leaned over and put his

pulled it back quick. He said

and wiped his hand on his pants.
Then he ran toward the door of
the clubhouse and stopped and
came back again. He rubbed his
hands in the dirt to hide his foot

house again. Pretty soon another
man came out. He was Mr.. ST..

come out and see me.

This was to be no ordinary hear

for reporters. I escorted George to
a seat in the front row.
A door opened behind the clerk,

gossiping, quickly hushed their
voices and sat down.
