LIKE most other large cities, Paris
has had its Society for the Abate-
ment of the Smoke Nuisance: but cir-
cumstances alter cases. Such a small
circumstance as one toot from the air-
raid siren could convert every member
of that society into an ardent wor-
shiper of smoke; the thicker and oilier, the better they liked it.
‘The smoke-cloud defense, which proved so effective against
submarines, was easily adapted to land, and, after trial at
the front, was installed as a branch of Paris's air defense.
These smoke-producers, which freed a harmless smoke that
was heavier than air or poison gas, were of modest mien.
Objects that looked like concrete top-hats, inverted and scat-
tered around the city in the path of any breeze, were the only
apparatus used in the feat of blotting Paris from the face of
France ten minutes after an alarm.
