Year's eve. When news spread that
a Zeppelin had left Solsaons for
Paris, the people of the city turned
out In great crowds that filled the
street. The old time Parisian spirit,
suppressed during the war, was re

portunlty for merrymaking. The
carnival spirit spread quickly despite
a, drizzle. At daybreak the throngs
were told the Zeppelin had turned
back.
Following the econd Zeppelin

with Premier Vlvlunl to plan a means
of combating the attacks. Several

It waa believed that more German

For thl reason the government Is
proceeding cautiously In the Oden

captain of the Odenwald will be cited
to appear In court under the new
neutrality regulation which make It
a crime to attempt to leave port

regulation authorize the collector of
a port to withhold paper whenever

of the fact the weather is not ideal
