EXPERIMENTS IN PARIS
GUARDING AGAINST AIR RAIDS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright PARIS, May 15. (Received May 16, at 10 a.m.) Following yesterday’s daylight test, Parisians on the left bank of the Seine were aroused at 2 a.m. by the howling of 36 sirens, which was the signal todarken the streets for an hour. Every street lamp was covered with blue gauze, and aeroplanes circled overhead observing the efficiency of the darkening. The authorities pronounce the experiment a complete success. Yesterday’s tests reveal the difficulty of firemen and ambulance men driving in gas masks.
