It has been suggested that shelter from an air raid should be in a cave below the street, in the company of some hundreds of in thousands of skeletons and skulls, whose presence will permit medita- tion on the mortality of man and the imminent possibility of joining the inmates of the ossuary if the explosions one hears dimly above prove too strong for the shelter.

The suggester is Councillor Gon- eral L'Hopitault of the department of the Seine, who has submitted a project for the conversion of the Paris catacombs into bomb-proof gasproof shelters.

The idea brings up Immediately macabre thoughts of a vigil with the dead, for those parts of the catacombs visited by tourists are decorated by shinbones and arm bones in geometrical patterns, with friezes of grinning skulle above them. Steps lead from one lovel to another, with a skull dis- posed at each end of each step. Bones trace lugubrious Latin mottos on the wall. Not exactly, one would say, a cheerful ambi ance for persons hiding from possible sudden and unpleasant death.

Many Infantry, and Cavalry companies have been un- dermanned.

ALLOTMENTS

Allotments to the various corps areas for enlistments starting July 1, and the strength of troops in those areas as of March 31, 1935, were as follows:

First Corps Area-Allotment, 2,180; troops March 91, 4,005,

Second Corps Area-Allotment, 3,814; strength March 31, 12,447.

ONE DRAWBACK Councillor L'Hopitault's project is for the converting of all these gqileries into reinforced shelters

so that Paris will be ready for at- tack from the air. There is only one drawback-the catacombs are confined to the Left Bank of the Seine, and the Inhabitants of the Right Bank will have a long way to go for shelter.

Military experts say that the growth of Artillery relative to the Infantry is an outgrowth of world war experience, when the Artillery became indispensable in prepar ing for and supporting the In- fantry.
