High Prices And High Wages
Are The Rule In France NOw

Men and women workers in France
have been making higher wages than
ever before. But the high cost Of
living more than nullifes the in
crease.
Thousands Of women, many with
children, are working In shops for
the nrst time. Many are employed
in the American army salvage depots
and Red Cross workshops.
Most Of these women carr about
S1.35 a day. Men doing similar work
earn about 81 a day. Skilled men.
mostly partly disabled soldiers, can
make SO a day at piece work in fac
tories.
Women with families have to work
because their husbands either have
been killed In the war or are soldiers
now. Soldiers get only five cents a
day and women must work to sup
port themselves. for the government
family allowance is rarely adequate.
Fortunately rents have not gone up.
These women are clever marketers
and by their acumen manage to keep
down somewhat the cost of living.
They have to. considering such prices
as these:
Beef. 90 cents a pound; was 80 be-
fore the wal.
Potatoes, 6h to 6 cents a pound.
Eggs, 81 q dozen; were 20 to "a
cents.
Butter, 81 a pound; was "a cents.
Cheese. IS to ~ cents a pound.
Milk, Q cents a pint; was about 8
cents.
Sugar. is cents a pound (loaf
sugar. 20 cents).
A popular peasant meal always
was bread and cheese and cheap
wine. The bread. fortunately. has
only gone up from 4 to s cents n
Mound and wine has not increased
greatly. But the government placed
restrictions on the use OF cream or
milk for making cheese.
Skilled workmen who either es-
caped army service through physical
inability or returned partly incapaci-
tated are getting greatly increased

used to get about s1.2o n dav before
the war. Now thew get AZ a day.

With the British Armies in France,
Aug. 30.-The British today had Pc
rome under the same direct and flank
ing threat which resulted in the fall
of Bapaume.
Bapaume is a picture of desolation,
almost as complete as that Of Albert.
At noon the Australians faced Pc
rome, across the Somme from the
south and had reached almost within
striking distance on the north side Of
the river.
All bridges have been smashed, ex-
eept at Clery, toward which the Aus
tralians advanced on both sides Of the
river.
Along the river below Peronne the
Germans are withdrawing their field
guns. Their heavy pieces already aFe

with a battery of field guns. Com
paratively few prisoners have been
reported. So far only 260 have been
taken on the river below Peronne,
While visiting Bapaume this morn

Germans was an occasional shell drop
ping in the town. The British guns,
ready to move Immediately were max
ing the air writhe with shells directed
toward Beaulencourt on the road to-
ward Peronne and Fremieourt, on the
road toward Cambria, which ruins the

A statement OF unusual interest was
recently received at the Tanlac office
from Nine. Jean Mantelli, the noted
grand opera singer, who was formerly
a member Of the Metropolitan Opera
company Of New York, where she
achieved distinction as leading con
%tralto, singing on the same stage with
Melba. Nordiea, Calve, Eames, Sem
brieh, Jean and Eduard De Reszke, and
other stars Of the first magnitude. A
few years ago Nine. Mantelli was fore
ed by i'll health to retire from the OPP
cratic stage. She is now living in Port
land, Ore, where she has an apartment
in the Royal Annex building, 35015
Morrison street, and in telling of her
experience with Tanlae said:
