The accompanying lf-tter recently re
ceived in Portland, contains the ob
servations of a voung Parisian of con
ditions in the French capital cJurin.T
irie'Iate summer, autumn and winter
months.
By Daniel Dyke.
Paris, Jan. 10. After h lull of so
many months, Paris is aliv once more.
Kspecially " with Christmas and New
Years, a fresh activity was to be seen
In the capital, contrasting with the.
dullness of last autumn.
Of course, Christmas 19M,"Js not to
he compared with Christmas of previ
ous years. Parisians all know that the
foe is established on French soil. There
is Ik complete absence of, festivities.
There are., I believe, few French fami
lies which are -not in mourning. But
if Paris is not "the gay Paris-' of last
rprihg. when the tango was danced
everywhere, our clt jhns lost nothini?
of its marvelous vitality.
Paris was not dead last summer; it
w as only slumbering. When ' another
victory will have repulsed the Herman
armies along the Rhine, normal life
will return.
For those who spent last August and
September within the walls of Paris,
there were anxious times. Nobody wan
certain of what the following mornine:
would bring. People knew that the
German armies were rapidly making
their way towards Paris. It was not
without serious reasons that the French
government according to the counsel
of tlie military authorities, left thi
capital for Bordeaux.
Then, the military governor of Tarip,
General Galli'eni, issued this grand
proclamation to the inhabitants of
-Paris: "I have received from the
government the order of defending
Our town. This order I shall see
through to the very end."
At the same time General Gallieni
was advising women, children, old peo
ple, Invalids, to leave Paris and its
neighborhood, as soon as possible.
Parisians who saw, in each Paris
railway station, the exodus for peace
ful countries of those poor unfortu
nates can realize the sorrows of war.
There was no noise, no hurry, no bus
tle, only perfect culm.
Trains of 59 carriages were waiting
along the platforms; they were filled
instantly. Crowds of other people
were coming ij?ain. Anxiety was de
picted on their poor luces other
trains wera going off.
Danger of Invasion Passed.
Paris breathes peacefully ence more.
But at the beginning? of September our
"fate was in the cap of the gods. The
'gates of Paris wfro about to close.
During the battle 0 miles away small
parties of German cavalry might have
tried to slip into Paris, at full speed.
The gates and old fortifications would
have been s-trons enough to stop these
raids.
The daily apparition of German aero
planes, dropping explosive bombs on
the roofs and streets of Paris, did not
Interfere with the quiet life of our
tty. One of . those bombs exploded
iuite near the American embassy. Rue
de Chaillot.
People of Portland know that, while
the members of the diplomatic body
were at Bordeaux, with the French
government. Mr. Herrlck, the Ameri
can ambassador, and Air. Sharp, bis
successor, remained in Paris, In spite
of danger.
A number of men and women be
longing to the American Society of
Paris, and among them Robert Bacon,
whose name is on the Hps of every
cultivated. Frenchman, spent their
whole summer in Paris, in spite of
bombs, in spite of the possible invest
ment "and bombardment of the city.
Many of them still are nursing the
wounded.
A beautiful phrase has been attrib
uted to Mr. Herrick. When somebody
told him it was dangerous to stay in
Paris, he replied: "There are oases
when dead ambassador is more use
. f ul than a living one."
City Still In Darkness.
Paris in January, is still dark, at
night, like London,- because of the
menace of Zeppelins.
During the whole summer and au
tumn searchlights were sweeping the
sky. in anticipation of the appearance
of a "taube."
Now a permanent light squadron of
French is protecting the city, day and
night. The Parisians, always Joking,
say: "We have no more our daily
'tub.' s(In French "taube!' and "tub"
are pronounced the same.
Many , people in Germany according
to the iVollf gcncy think that Ger
man armies--have reached Paris. When
hey know It Is not true, there will be
dismay among them.
We, in Paris, now know that our
beautiful monuments will not be dam
aged. While waiting for final victory,
Paris, which is no more "the gay
Paris." but serene, confident, calm, al
ways witty in spite of mourning, leads
a peaceful life.
