NECESSARIES, BUT NO LUXURIES CAN BE HAD
 IN OLD "GAY PAREE.'

Paris, August 6.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press) Paris is of course not the old "gay Paree" of peace time, but it has suffered sur prisingly little from the war when other cities and countries are con- sidered. Pretty nearly everything one needs to live is still available, though in restricted and reduced measure.
 Probably no one but Parisians themselves has been able to keep track of the decrees and regulations governing food and other consump- tion. Americans may be interested to know just how their allies in the great capital-and many countrymen too-are faring these days. Here is a list of the restrictions:
 Meat may not be purchased or eat en on three days of the week, We'd nesday, Thursday and Friday. Not more than 200 grams (two-fifths of
 
 a pound) may be purchased on Tues day so there can be no hoarding, and not more than 100 grams may be served in a restaurant on Tuesday.
 Bread is limited to 300 grams (three-fifths of pound) daily for all people between the ages of 13 and 60. An additional allowance of 100 grams day is made to manual laborers and women in delicate health. Persons over 50 receive but 200 grams daily.
 Flour, pastry and akes-would-b be purchasers of flour are entitled to half the amount of flour allowed them in bread form, l. e. 150 grams day, if they are willing to go without bread entirely. Pastry and cakes are forbidden.
 Sugar is limited to one pound a month, and half a pound to persons over 60.
 Coal for families of one, two or three persons, 120 kilos (2.20 pounds) monthly; families of four or five persons, 15O kilos; of six or more persons, 180 kilos.
 The gas consumption likewise has been considerably cut down, so that he who in 1913 used two cubic meters a day may now only use IA meters C,r,;1o,.1xx xx,,+b alao+r,cifU
 Petrol, otherwise kerosene, ane gasoline for illumination, are per mitted in the following quantities two quarts a month to persons wht have no gas in their homes; fiv' quarts month for those who cool exclusively with kerosene.

Allied Commanders, However, Re- tain the Initiative Against De-

(By The Associated Press.)

Paris, Aug. G.. Determined Ger man attacks against the allied ad- vance guards north of the Vesle river have failed to disturb the temporary stabilization of the Vesle front, the allied command retaining the initia- five in these operations.
 Much importance is attached to operations north of Montdidier, be- tween Bruches and Marisel, which is pointed to as direct menace to the junction point of the armies of Gen. Von f1utier and Grown Prince Rup- precht.

REPORTED DEATH
 DUE T0 AN ERROR

Yesterday afternoon just before going to press the Independent was told that message had been receiv- ed in Newport telling of the death of Edmund Brock, who was reported to have been killed in action in France. This paper thought it had verified the report, but found, after the paper had gone out of the office, that the report was untrue, and that Brock had been seriously wounded. We are glad to make this correction, and join the many friends of of MT. and Mrs. Brock, who reside west of Tuckerman, in the hope that their son will recover from his wounds.

pose because in modern war mans greatest enemy is likely to be his own imagination In the heat of action he has no time for thought. The horrors of war cannot force their way through his preoccupied mind. But later, when the excitement has died away, the reaction sets in, and real ization of the past begins to depress and deaden his vitality, for the mem- ories of modern battle are more terrible than the actual experience.
 The only antidote to this depression lies in action and activity. Action provides distraction for the mind. It is this that the working party sup plies, and in spite of the generally abusive terms applied to it by the soldier, it is really doing him ser vice.
 It is the British soldiers historic privilege to complain, or grouse" as he calls it. But his complainings must net be taken to indicate state of low morale. Exactly the reverse, for it is an unwritten law in the Bri- tish army that man may complain only when things are going well. In danger and diversity there is no complaining, only that dogged deter imitation which makes the British soldier such formidable opponent.

< Associated Press War Summary)
 The situation in the Rheims-Sois- sons salient is stabilized for the mo- ment while the opposing forces pre- pare for future movements. Heavy artillery duels and patrol actions are in progress along the Vesle. Small allied units have, crossed the river, mostly reconnoitering expeditions. The Americans are maintaining their positions in Fismes, despite violent bomhardment. Uneasiness over the northern front continues. The Ger mans have withdrawn from territory along the Labasse canal, the apex of the Lys salient. Meanwhile the French and British are organizing in territory evacuated north and south of the Somme in Picardy. Allied capitals do not believe the Germans will attempt to stand long on the northern bank of the Vesle, but will retire soon to positions north of the Aisne. Gen. Foch has given no in dication of his plans. German air. ships made an unsuccessful attempt to raid England Monday night.

ton for the coal year 1917. if the war

If the production Of anthracite
can be increased over last years to-
tai OF 100000 gross tons. There
fore, the entire 100000 tons must
come from the ~bituminous mines.
A survey Of the war demand for

During the last coal year the BIZ

British Losses

(By Assoc1ared Press

London, May 2s.-British casual
ties reported in the week ending

They are divided as follows:
Killed or died OF wounds: Officers.
1858; men. 3.527.
Wounded or missing: Officers, 735;

The total for last week was 86.677
