NO MORE PARIS
FREEZING NAZI BLIGHT i ALL, IX BED BY MIDNIGHT How many tourists remember Paris in the spring. Paris at its love- : liest, the trees of the Champs Elysees with their new coat of green. I the busy throngs on the Boulevards. ! The following is an extract froni an article by F. de Fricambaut in ' "La France Libre," published m London: — ! "There is no more Paris. Ido not know whether, at the end of a field •i or a wood, you have ever come across a body of some beast of bur- ; den 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 mid--1 night not a single Parisian must be out of doors." : Meanwhile, the hirelings of Nazi- ; controlled newspapers would have 1 everyone believe that Paris is itself again!
