PARIS INERT
UNDER THE NAZI BLIGHT. LIES OF NAZI HIRELINGS. How many tourists remember Paris in the spring, Paris at jits loveliest, the trees of the Champs Elysees with their new coat of green, the busy throngs on the boulevards! The following is an extract from an article by F. de Fricambaut in “La France Libre,” published in London: — “There is no more Paris, I do not know whether, at the end of a field or a wood, you have ever come across a body of some beast of burden stricken down. The form is there, inert and unrecognisable. Paris, stricken down at a single blow, is- like that. Its streets empty at night.■ Tardy pedestrians seek a house in which to avoid the first patrols. The town is black, blacker than during the early part of the war. Orders are strict; after midnight not a single Parisian must be out of doors.” Meanwhile the hirelings of Nazi-con-trolled newspapers would have everyone believe that Paris is itself again!
