TWO LINCOLN DAILY NEWS. '1TKSDAY, SEPTEMHER 8. 1914. PARIS WAITS FOR GERMANS BUT IS SERENELY UNAFRAID By William Philip PARIS. Sejit.

Hcronely-- almost emotionless--Paris Gone is the light -hearted (taifty for which the French capiuil l'cn famous. But in Btoad la the optoinlBtlc ctnlle -which tells of sober confidence. Paris IK unafraid. By Jay Ihe Htreets arc nil but deserted save by the military. Most pf the newspapers have nlther discontinued or moved their publication offices to other cities.

Women act ma conductors and ticket sellers. But It is by night that Paris becomes most wonderful. Is a city of wonderful 'silences: of darkness: of bridges spanning a Seine on which only the reflections of the stars and trioon appear. Here and there Kreat beams of bewildering iight from searchlights flash through the air, seeking out the dark spaces of the sky for aerial -visitors. -A brilliant moon Is all that lights the somber architecture of the 1-ouvre and Notre Dame.

Only faint shafts of light show through curtained and ehuttered windows. Street lights are all shut off. Where brilliantly lighted cafes formerly shed a glow on the sidewalks there Is darkness. In cafes themselves, where the lights are dimmed arid windows curtained," all'is changed. Is The tnouM red coated orcheHtra In no more.

Llttlr knotn of wave men- moHtly in th- army kimki soldiered uniforms--nit ut tho talih-H and con- verm" eawrly. but almoHt In whispers. Only tho women are unchanged. In beautiful Rowns they arc smiling, co- iueuiHh. confident and serene.

There is none of the gaiety of other orchestras to no no riotous dinners and celebrations--but. a iiev sort of gayety born of unswerving optimism. i i a automobiles dash madly aloiiK tho Itoulevardn formerly crowd- el with a moving stream of vehicles. Taxloabs and carriages are here. The few that are left arc crazy vehicles, ramshackle in the lust de- Krt-o and manned by either youth or men not called into the army service.

The exorlug continues daily--men en route to Che. front 'and women and children leaving southward for cities further removed from the fighting. Most of the newspapers have already moved. Excelsior wll! hereafter publish at Toulouse and Le Tomps at Bordeaux. Nowhere is there a of panic.

Throughout the city Is calm optimism in the strength of the allied army and complete confidence that Paris will not fall. SERVIAN TROOPS ENTER AUSTRIAN PROVINCES N1SH, Servla, Sept. Servian invasion of Austria through the province of Bosnia has begun. The Servian armies under the personal command of the prince crossed the Save river at Mitrovieza. yesterday arid immediately moved southward.

Some two 'hundred odd men 'and ranging all the way in age from -twenty to afternoon at a hour go through odd antics such as running up and down the arena, Jumping, rolling on the ground and ether like stunts. These youths and men are Germans-- held prisoners by the government of England. Their strange antics are the ouiy exercise they are allowed to take for a little each afternoon.

A thin line of Irish guards, grim, silent, khaki-clad men, stand guard while- the Germans go through their dally, exorcise. The 'Olympia was siezed by the government without "by your leave" or a notice of any sort. Officials decided it was just the place they needed and they occupied it without further ado. The German prisoners being held there are men who have been taken from German merchantmen. German of England and German who it is feared are spies residents "floaters" In the 'employ of the kaiser.
