Removing the Barricades of Paris

caption 1:The israclitish kings
that grace the door-
ways of Notre
Dame were sand-
bagged when bombs
began to fall on Paris.
The sand-bags are be:
ing removed now, and
the kings reveal no
signs that they have
been through the war;
so they are free to
breathe again, if they
care to do so. It was
in Notre Dame that
the people of Paris
were gathered in an
agony of prayer on
that early day of the
war when the Germans
nearly reached Paris
and were turned back
caption 2: Like winter homes in |
summer, the large glass |
windows of the Pari |
newspaper Le Matin |
were all boarded up |
during the war. The
protection is coming
down, now that the |
glass is safe from shell
shock and falling bombs
caption 3: Surely this statue had to be
protected from the German
bombs; for it is the Vendome
Statue, and it was made from
German cannon captured in
the Franco-Prussian War. It
needs no protection today,
and it won't have any long
