more than 200 years ago by a daughter of louis xiv duchess of bourbon though enlarged by the prince of conde in 1777 and altered considerably by order of napoleon in 1805 it is still a long way from being a modern structure with all the con veniences of the era to remedy this tho construction is now under way in what was one of the courts of the pal ace of a large number of shower baths for the use of the deputies above tho room containing tho show ers a spacious hall is to be built which will be equipped for the presentation of moving picture films the cost of theso improvements will reach about 8000000 francs approximately i20 000 more light for paris french artistic genius is at its best in the creation of magnificent perspec tives paris itself is till of them but none is moro breathtakingly beautiful than the view from the court of the louvre through the tuileries gar dens across the spacious place de la concorde and along the broad avenue des champs blysees stretching up to the arc de triomphe le letoile at night especially when the perhaps too ponderous arch melts into pure poetry under the rays of masterly floodlight ing and thus becomes a fitting count- erpiece of tho radiant obelisk on the place de la concorde the spectacle is one never to be forgotten now the municipal council of paris is consider ing a proposal to add a third element to these two monuments of light the plan is to erect at the round point of the defense a second etoile far out along the prolongation of the avenue des champs elysces across the seine in neuilly a monumental beacon 110 meters in height and 51 meters in diameter this great beacon would be known as the phare de paris and besides forming a sor of western gate of the city would be crowded with powerful searchlights whose vertical rays would welcome all visitors to the city who came by air motorbuses quieter paris has a remarkably complete system of motorbns lines covering the city from one end to the other the towering doubledecked omnibus of london and new york is not to bo found in paris where moreover the single deck is divided into first and second class compartments this has the advantage of providing a comfort able upholstered seat at the price of an extra ient or two but paris found that its buses contributed a great deal of the noiso which the city is trying so hard to get rid of for most of the head to foot as i had a huidrcd times when plan ning hoped that it would do i dared rot clamber over the park railings n drylght so coneetled myself in a clump of shrubs id waited for mght at nine oclock i jumped over the railings i found mysalf in a broad deserted suburban street and to my joy the street was in com- r te darkress on account of the zep pelins in the westend by bus and iram e zigzagged up tr the westend he was compara tively safe in the daytime for he had a fair amount of money and carried i o luggage except i toothbrush and a razor his problem became more a ute by nightfall i turned towards piccadilly i had ion on my legs for twelve icurs on rd and my body was dropping with fatigue but 1 dared not knock at the door of the meanest hotel or at all of then there was compulsory regis tration reported to the police finally when the stifliig streets were growing deserted i acceped the invitation of a gentle fairhaired sweetheart she had a clean room in which i ooud find a hiding place and sh- et me shej on undisturbed until jawn day light however found me again roof less and on the pavement lie was forced to s end most of his n ghtf in the same way until he found his way to the eastnd where fewer questions were asked from seven in the morning till midnight he would wander through the streets to get a little rest he sometimes visited a cin ema but he says i soon saw that it was not safe t re military patrols out te catch persons evading service would enter the halls even in the afterniois and demand to see ones papers of identity i therefore left off going to the anti- german war films and retired to st pauls cathedral wheie i did not find much sign of piety marble statuary gilding mosaics and stained glass i v iuld sink down in i corner as if ab sorbed in prayer in reality i slept like a dormouse until awakened by some noise or other r by the discom fort of my position a wooden bench is far from being a fourpost bed a nasty moment he had some ticklish moments one night in desperation he determined to risk the registration questions at an j hotel near aijgate he gave out that he was an italian then i cant give you a room rnid the woman im very sorry you ust go to bishopgate to the police sntion and get sanction and instruc tions then you can get a room i was going simply to withdraw when a gentleman in mufti joined in the conversation as you are a stranger to london i shall be happy to go with you to bishopsgate and assist you there i am an officer in the detective force his features were half in the sha dow i could not see his

troubles were by no means over once on the ship he had to hide in the miserable space partitioned off n the room devoted to the handsteering gear it was stored with cabbages and ther vegetables the whole closet was barely four feet long i lay against the iron wall painfully huddled up a terrible chill radiated from the iron floor i wrapped myself up in a deck- awning and was nearly choked by the

which were ordered from leghorn italianfrench italianenglish and italianspanish so i spent a whole month doing rothing but learn by heart the dead contents of these lic- tionaries anyhow it soothed my restless worrying thoughts and if my spirit became wearied of the me chanical compulsion i would spur my self on by the reflection this also is a way to freedom i would say to my self how should one ask in three r four languages for a railway ticket a room in a hotel or for work as a waiter or laborer in england the prisoners used to pass their time in the weirdest ways for a game called fishes they sat in a circle and one who was in the centre would stare at the ground which represented the water and would make movements with an imag inary hook just as if real fish were gnawing at the bait the others would watch with sporting interest at forli his thoughts always turn ed towards freedom he was housed in an old monastery and hit on the idea of escaping through the- tower procuring a rope
