Show 'Policeman of Paris' Called Back to Duty PARIS. The magnificently bearded and mustached "policeman "police-man of Paris," Rene le Clerc, was brought out of retirement recently re-cently by the exigencies of war. The picturesque character, who used to direct traffic near the Porte Saint Denis, returned to active duty at the request of his former superiors. He had retired a few months ago to devote his time to painting. "The most photographed policeman po-liceman in the world," as he was known, took up a post in front of the town hall of the fifteenth Arrondissement in the Rue Blom-et Blom-et near Porte Versailles, where traffic is lighter than at his old boulevard location. |
