Air Raids Put All Paris on
the Same Level—in Cellars
The Paris correspondent of the
Italian Tribuna gives an interesting
picture of life in Paris during an air
raid, In which he shows how the
French have adapted themselves to
the new conditions.
"Ther® is not a cellar in Paris,"
the Italian correspondent writes,
"which for some time has not been
in a stage of preparation so that
thos* who are to seek refuge In it
might receive the least possible
harm. Some of them have been pa
pered, others have been furnished
with books and furniture. There
are some persons who have fur
nished their cellars with considerable
luxury. Every one has his clothes
ready for descending into the cellar
at any moment. Women descend in
their hats and coats and with their
muffs and footheaters: the men are
dressed as for going out.
"Many persons carry with them
pocketbooks with their money and
Jewelry, packets containing all their
valuable papers, electric lights and
folding chairs. The price of the last
two articles has risen very high, be
cause there is an immense demand
for them. In the cellar people
quickly become acquainted with each
other—tenants of the first floor with
those of the sixth, landlords with
their porters, the rich with the poor.
It has been established that there
is no place which brings down vari
ous people to "the same level as
quickly as the cellar does.
"In the cellars of Paris not only
new acquaintances are being con
cluded, but also there are to be ob
served admirable proofs of unexpect
ed generosity and most interesting
psychological phenomena. The fol
lowing fact has been ascertained:
No one is any longer ashamed to
say during an air raid that he is
going to hide in a cellar.
" 'When a bombardment is an
nounced at the front,' said a French
soldier the other day. 'our officers
compel us to seek shelter; there is
no reason why we over here should
not do the same and protect our
lives,' This is perfect reasoning. In
wartimes we must not expose our
selves to useless dangers.
"While in the cellars all discus
sions are mainly concerned with the
risks to which the populations of
cities are exposed by air raids.
