EUROPEAN NEWS ITEMS
FURNISHED BY UNITED PRESS
London, Sept. 16—An impressive
word picture of the manner in which
all Paris heroically, and with almost
spartan stoicism took the first re
ports that a seigo of the capital by
Germans was a possibility is con
tained in the following dispatch
which was seut from Paris to a local
newspaper;
On the boulevards each night the
change in the Paris populace is re
markable. There is enthusiasm, but
a quiet kino of enthusiasm. There
is a singular absence - of rowdyism
and horseplay. The apache seems
to have suddenly become a respect
able citizen. People are more sin
cerely polite to each other. On
their faces I have noted a. blend of
gravity and gaiety; gravity full con
scious of what the hour means;ga
iety because they are fighting for
France, they are fighting the detest
ed German who was so cruelly re
lentless after his former victory,
and because they are not fighting
alone, as in 1870.
One does not hear the "Interna
tional" now. There is no longer
the verse dinning in our oars bid
ding the soldiers turn their guns
on their officers. Now it is the
"Marseillaise," or nothing; and I
wish you could hear the ''Marseil
laise" sung by 5,000 Frenchmen on
the boulevards of Paris.
At the cafes the musical pro
gram is practically reduced to "God
Savo The King," the "Marseillaise."
and tho Russian National Hymn.
That is an evening attraction now.
The theatres aro empty.
Paris, Sept. 16—A brassarie kept
by a certain M. Muller aroused the
suspicions of a number of hooligans,
who led by a savage woman of the
petroleuso type, had wrecked num
erous German owned shops.
The woman led her hooligan
band to Muller's shop, and scream
c-d that he was a Gorman. She said
tho man's wife and two daughters
sitting at a table near a window al
so were Germans. Immediately the
crowd advanced to attack the family
and wreck and loot the shop. M
Muller jumped to a table, and har
ranguing the crowd, produced his
mobilization papers ordering him to
join Ms colors the next day.
"Have any of my would be as
sailants their moblization papers?"
he asked. "If not, they would do
well to save that energy they are
wasting attacking Innocent people.
They should carry that energy to
the front and use it against the
German army." The mob dispersed
ifter cheering Muller.
