Article Title and/or Image Caption: Paris Air-Defense System Explained Graphically
extracted text: Agitation is still rife in London for the establishment of aerial defenses that will give the world's greatest metropolis as efficient protection against German air craft as the Paris system has provided the French capital since the early days of the war. The air guard of Paris has previously been described at length, but the illustration presented herewith shows more clearly than anything published in the past the general arrangement of the scheme and its salient features. Listening posts maintained in the environs on all sides of the city detect the approach of enemy machines and communicate the information to a central station which is in touch with the gun posts and aeroplane-patrol stations. In this way the invader is given battle before he can reach Paris and work havoc with bombs.
