TOURIST CLASS NOT THESE
(CjrrMpondtnce of The Associated FrM. )
Paris, July 1. Paris now. "Paris
lias become quite French," declared a
lately-arrived American. "I never
heard so much French spoken in Paris
before."
In fact, as a result of the continu
ance of war, Paris to the foreigner
seems, if it is not so in reality, for the
first time since 1870 to be truly and
obviously Gallic, to have put off its
harlequinade costume of cosmopolit
anism, its glittering tinsel and garish
night light; and to have put on the
more simple and sober dress of an
earlier and less luxury-loving age.
Paris has become, in a iford, pro
vincial, chiefly owing to two causes
the absence of the tourist and the de
cline in traffic. The city is far less
crowded and bustling than usual. The
diapason of all the notes in the hum
of a great city's population busy about
its daily occupations is lowered to
what is almost a murmur; the hoot
of the taxi-horn is heard less frequent
ly, and, the "barkers" at the shows
along the boulevards have ceased to
bark; "Want a guide, sir?" is now
never, or hardly ever heard. The news
boy's yell is sternly repressed by the
police.
The tourist element of Paris is all
but entirely wanting. Before the war,
especially at this season, tourists were
to be met with in all quarters of the
city, a very considerable portion of
them Germans; now the compara
tively small number of strangers here
are chiefly those on business in con
nection with war contracts, and, of
coarse, mostly men.
The almost total disappearance of
the private automobile is another
thing that cannot fail to strike the
visitor of today. Dublin was de
scribed by Lady Mary Montague as
the "car-drivingest city in the world."
Paris, for some years before the
war, could with propriety be describ
ed as the automobile-drivingest city
in Europe. Besides the vast variety
of cars owned by Paris residents
there was always a stream of more
or less high-powered and luxurious
automobiles passing through on their
way to Brittany with its well known
seaside summer resorts, to Norman
dy and to Touraine with their histor
ic castles, or still further afield, right
through the middle of France, down
to Biarritz and the Riviera. This
traffic has completely ceased. In
its stead one sees hardly anything
but slate colored motor wagons. Red
Cross automobiles, or the ordinary
taxicab. Taxicabs are now hardly
numerous enough to meet the inhabi
tants' ordinary wants. This dearth
of taxicabs is intensified by the stop
page, ever since the war began, of
the convenient and rapid system of
motor busses plying to and from all
parts of Paris.
They were requisitioned imme
diately war began and arc reported
to have done yeoman's service in
transferring men and stores at and
just behind the front.
One means of transport, however,
seems to be as popular as ever the
"bateau-mouches" (boats-as-big-as-a-fly)
which ply along the Seine from
Charenton, by the Louvre, the Place
de la Concorde, Passy and Auteuil.
as far as liellcvuc, St. Cloud and Sur
esnes. With the summer weather
they are more crowded than in time
of peace, nor is it surprising to find
it so as the voyage of some seven or
eight miles, much of it through pret
ty scenery, costs little, more than 5
cents.
Spain Censors All
Press Dispatches
Madrid, July IS. (Via Paris.) The
government has established a mili
tary censorship of all press dispatches.
Martial law was declared through
out Spain on Thursday as a result of
the railway strike which seriously af
fected operation of the lines of the
Northern system. A Madrid dispatch
on the night of July 13 said that a gen
eral strike had been announced for
July 16.
Rucker Corrupt
Practices Bill is
JFassed by House
Washington, July 15 The Rucker
so-called corrupt practices bill amend
ing the political campaign publicity
law and extending it to candidates
for president and vice president was
passed by the house today. It now
goes to the senate, where a similar
bill by Senator Owen is pending.
The bill fixes the amount which
may he spent for campaign expenses
of a presidential candidate at $50,001)
and vice presidential at $25,000. All
candidates for president and vice pros
ident would be required to make re
ports to the clerk of the house thi
same as candidates for other offices
It wauld penalize violations of th
law at a maximum of $10,000 fine.
