IMPROVED PARIS ATMOSPHERE

Paris, To-day. PROLONGATION OF THE CRISIS has resulted in improv- ing the general atmosphere in the French capital and numerous persons, who left on Friday or Saturday, re- turned yesterday to arrange affairs, withdraw money from banks and bid farewell to friends who are remain- ing. Thousands who are enjoying the warm August sun in cafes, still refuse to believe that war will come and while ad- mitting that Herr Hitler's answer to M. Daladier has not improved the situation, still maintain the hope that negotiations will save the situation. Railway stations are still scenes of hectic activity as reservists pack the trains with their equipment.

The general atmosphere is one of resignation, but there are few scenes of tragic leave-taking, because of a belief that catastrophe may. "yet be averted.

Street traffic has been considerably reduced through the requisitioning of omnibuses and taxicabs.
