FRENCH ADOPT WAR
TEN COMMANDMENTS
People of France Urged TO Endure Re-

Without Complaint.

PARIS. July 21.-The economic and
social section of the League of Patriots,
with headquarters in Paris, Rue ste.
Anne, has distributed 4 leaflei urging
the French to endure without COM
plant the restrictions imposed upon
them in the interest Of their country.
The following is u copy:
I'D Do not forget that we are at
war. In your smallest expenditures
never lose sight of the interests of the
native land.
"t2l Economize on the products
coal. bread. meat. milk. sugar. wine,
hTcter. beans, cloths, leather. oil. Ac-
cept rations. Ration yourself as to
food. clothing, amusements.
't2) Save the products of French
soil lest some day you deprive your
father. your son. your husband. who
are shedding their blood TO defend you.
90 Save the products that France
must buy from foreign countries. DO
not drain reserves OF gold, which are
indispensable to victory.
go Waste nothing. All waste Is a
crime which imperils the national de-
fense-prolonGs tho war.
90 Buy only according to your
needs. DO not hoard provisions; your
selhshncss raises prices and deprives
those OF smaller means OF things in
cispensable to existence.
90 Do not travel unnecessa rily.
Reflect that our trains are, before all.
destined for the transportation of the
troops. the feeding of the population.
the needs of our national production.
"tS) DO not remain idle. According
TO your age and your ability, work for
your country. DO not consume without
producing. 1dlcness is desertion.
90 Accept. without murmuring the
nrivations which are, imposed upon
YOU. Reflect upon the suferings OF
those who are lighting for you. upon
the martyrdom of the population
whose hearths have been devastated
by the enemy.
100 Remember that victory belongs
TO those who can hold out a quarter
Of an hour the longest.
That France may live, she must be
victorious"
