PARIS AWAITING “S-DAY”

People’s One Thought TIME OF ANTI-NAZI RISING ("By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received June 28, 10.-10 p.iu.) LONDON, June 28. The one topic of conversation now in Paris, whqre tension is very high, is “S-day”—Jour de Soulevement (day of revolt), says a -Daily Express” correspondent tit Geneva. In the interminable food queues or the packed underground railway stations one hears “S” constantly repeated, and the Germans hear it, too. It is .written on walls and scrowled on pavements. German military cars left unattended for a few minutes are found with the tyres slashed and petrol tanks holed and a httle cardboard ”S” on the driver’s seat. On dining tables in hotels German officers find the letter “S” scribbled on the cloth or scratched on the plates. The German troops are nervous, excited and afraid. They walk down the main avenues in groups of not less than four with their rifles at the ready.
