Adaptable Paris

Paris, September 3-S:5O D. n1-Paris again today showed it's remarkable adap- ability to circumstances. Though all a1- lusions to such a contingency Had been strictly forbidden in the newspapers that the government would be transferred to Bordeaux was open secret several days ago among journalists and public off cials and in military circles The facts of the announcement had been largely discounted The public after it's first surprise is viewing the situation with composure and tonight there seems to be better feeling all around.
 Military secrets are being so well guarded that all reference to them is largely speculation, but it is reason- able supposition that General Joffre pre- fers to accept a decisive battle against the Germans in front of the forts and in the entrenched camp of Paris.
 The Temps this evening printed an other article in which it predicted final success for the allies. The newspaper S reasons for it's optimism are contained in the following resume of the situation as the Temps sees it:
 "Dimunition of the pressure on the extreme left of the allies line, absolute inactivity in the center and the progress of the French troops in Lorraine and on the right bank of the canal which passes a few miles north of Luneville. in the department of Muerthe and Moselle.''
 These circumstances are taken by the Temps as evidence that the enemy has been hard hit by the losses in men and lack of supplies.
 The Liberte quotes an English officer who arrived here today from Pierrefitte. 2S miles southeast of Pau. saying he was wounded in fierce battle near Campiegne in which the Germans were driven back several times with heavy losses. He said the French and English offensive was successful over q front of several miles, the Germans retreating to- ward the left.

Germans Tighten Lines

London, September 3.-As the lines around Paris tighten and the German forces draw closer to the French capital, the official statements regarding tue progress of the war grow triefer and are more and more lacking in details
 So far as the public is concerned little actually is known as to now the armies in the field are farins. Most of the information made public from official quarters is of a negative characteri as for instance, the announcement of the French war office that there has been no contact with the German forces in the region of Compiegne and Senlis since Wednesday, and that the situation Tn the northeast has not changed.
 The two towns are respectively 45 miles and 32 miles northeast of the French capital and they appear to mark the points nearest Paris to which the Ger man advance guards have approached.
 With the removal of the government to Bordeaux all efforts around Paris have been directed for preparations for the threatened investment of the capital by the Germans. In addition the French authorities have ordered aeroplane patrols to guard against any further raids by German aviators. A number of French aeroplanes are continually flying in the neighborhood of Paris and others are kept in readiness to attack any of the Ger man airrnen who appear In the sky.
 The attitude of Turkey is awaited with anxiety and Petrograd est. Petersburg) dispatch says she is mobilizing on the Persian boundary, but slowly
 Another list of British casualties of ficially reported at London, numbers casualties at 522S, of whom 40 are killed and wounded, and 475S are missing. Tho list shows large percentage of officers.

also by giving out the stores day by

Before resOrtlng to stricter measures
she should decree economical methods
Of cooking. Fish should be for boiling
and not for frying and meat for stew.
ing slowly instead Of for roasting.
Puddings that require -four should
give place to milk buildings, stewed
fruit and simple savories. Every effort
should be made to save fuel
Bread should not be served when
fresh. but be kept until stale. when It

ful and every scrap can be utilized for
nursery puddings. Jam instead Of but.
ter should be served on the >children's
tea table. not the two together.
Soup made Of lentils and dried peas

great care should be taken over the
