The Dark Days
PARIS JAN.-JULY 1918.
P.y Lee Wilson Dodd of The Vigilantes
"T.it what was it like?" my
friends asked me. And I don't know-
how to tell them what it was like;
only J know that it was entirely
unlike their attempts to imagine it
for themselves.
It was not so melodramatic as j
some of theni would prefer to sup-;
pose it. Personally I saw no blood j
and very lew tears. And yet Paris
throughout the dark spring days of)
11 iS was a tragic city. Tragic be-j
cause in the midst of apprehension
it went about its business calmly:
I is kept smiling. Paris under trial is
superb. It is never flustered and
j never afraid.
I do not mean to say that individ
ual dwellers in cans during the dark
days were never afraid. During the
""-iu. 'uc i . p.ui.a
!!y many quaking; hearts beneath I
i the lightless mansards. If so. thevl
! did their quaking privately. Never
once throughout a five months' stay
; in the city did 1 encounter any pub-
lic demonstration of fear; yet from
I time to time I saw the people of

large calibre. They are quite as noisv
as the bombs themselves and far
more frequent; in fact my soldier
friends tell me they give a brief but
very fair imitation of drumfire at
the front. Morover whatever goes
up must come down and tiiere are
more encouraging sounds than the
patter of shell fragments about the
roofs and squares. But in their favor
be it said that they are immensely ef-
fective; very few "Gothas" now suc-
ceed in prowling about over the ''ag-
glomeration Parisienne." I fancy
they find too many white-hot holes

dread of the first weeks of the war
came hack upon Paris. It was all
to do again all to do again after
four years.
Paris Remained Serene.
The old dread yes; but Paris' soon
soon thrust it down out of sight
where it belonged and remained out-
wardly serene. The armies of Prance
had turned back the enemy once
from her gates: if necessary they
would do il again. It her heart was
heavy it was chiefly that she well
know how terrible would be the
cost of her defense. And if in its
course the bodies should succeed in
battering their wav far enough south i
to bombard her. she well knew what
would be her fate. It would be the
fate oi Amiens and ot Mieims.

able davs of waiting that we Anier-

B OFFICE SAYS
ARDMORE CON DlflON
IS GROWING BETTER
REPORTS INDICATE THAT
CITY IS HEADED TOWARD
POSITION OF HONOR.
Judge Thomas W. Champion is in
receipt of a letter from the social
hygiene division section on nun s
work commission on training camp
activities of t tie war deparimen:. in
which among other things it is stat-
ed :
"We have noted in recent confi-
dential reports lo this department
that vice conditions in your com-
munity are improving that Ard-
inore is headed toward a position of
honor on the government list u!
clean coiniuunilie-.
"This change in your city is to be
heartily cninuiuied but there is
much work yet to be done before
the fight for civic cleanliness is won.
1 1 is a true saying that 'eternal vig-
ilance is the price of freedom from
vice' and even though your city
may be free from prostitutes and
bootleggers now it is of vital im-
portance that every official and ci;-
izeu make it his own personal bus-
iness lo keep the vicious element
from again attaining a foothold in
Ardinore.
"Public sentiment which once
aroused is the greatest power in the
world. It im and should demand
and compel the enactment and en-
forcement of all necessary legisla-
tion lor the .suppression of vice."
It is lhen stilted that 17IUHIU cases
of venereal diseases have been treat-
ed in the national army during the
past twelve months and that vener-
eal diseases have cost the govern-
ment SN.s.OIIII.IHKI and a loss of 1.5IH)-
IHMI soldjer days.
Judge Champion's attention is
then called lo the fact that it would
be well lo use bis personal influence
toward securing needed legislation
providing for a state reformatory
for the industrial education of pros-
titutes and remedial follow-up ineas
urcs against venereal diseases.
