AMERICANS LEAVE PARIS
MANY IN DISTRESS PARIS, November 17. The flight from tho once almighty dollar is nowhere more noticeable than in Paris, formerly the playground of luxury-loving Americans. Many rich Americans are leaving for home, and some American bars, despairing of ever seeing a thirsty American again, are closing. Others are preparing to go to America to serve their erstwhile customers on the spot. Even some newspaper correspondents are leaving for home, and many American institutions here are transferring their headquarters to London, where tho depreciation of the dollar is less severe than in France, which is still on the gold standard. Among those hardest hit are negroes, formerly singers, dancers, and entertainers in Montmartre cabarets. These nights Americans are scarce in Montmartre. The American Aid Society says it is receiving more demands for assistance than it is possible to handle. Even the Ambassadorial staffs and Consuls are being paid in depreciated currency.
