PARIS.-A seven-cent cigar is a luxury, and a six-cent smoke a ne- cessity, in the opinion of the French under secretary of state for the finance department. He makes this distinction in suggesting methods of introducing a tobacco ration, the principle having been approved by the French cabinet. The secretary suggests that the ration scheme should apply only to the sale of the cheaper grades of tobacco, cig- arettes and cigars and not to those chased as luxuries. He would give no smokers cards to women, all though the women intuition worker3 are said to have become great smok- CTS lately.

FRENCH MAKE GAINS

"ASHINGTON, D. C.-Reports received today from the French field headquarters indicate that the French troops in a series of superbly executed attacks in force on the battleline to the southeast of Amiens won the entire Rouvrelos plateau.

SAVINGS
 SHOW BIC GAINS

LONDON-The British are saving money as they never have notwith- standing the increased cost of every thing.
 Sir Robert Kindersley, chairman of the National War Savings Asso- citation, stated that it is remark able" that there are 16,75O,0OO hold CTS of British war securities and more than 13,O0O,000 accounts in savings banks.
 Ut may be safely alleged, not only that saving has been commenc- ed by many millions who before the war never saved, but that there is every evidence that the effort of these savers increases in intensity as the war proceeds"
 This situation is ascribed to the fact that thousands are receiving more pay than ever and thousands of women, who prior to the war, earned nothing, are now engaged in remunerative war work. Also the incentive to spend money has beerI removed to a certain extent by the regulation of food and drinking pur- chases and curtailment of amuse- ments.

Schwab Names New Aid
George M. Brill to Handle All
Shipvard Supplies

WASHINGTON, July lathe crea-
ion of a requirements section to
handle shipyard supplies, with George
NJ. Brill at its head. was to-day an
nounced by Charles NJ. Schwab, di-
rector general of shipbuilding. Mr..
Schwab said:
st will be the purpose of this sec
ton to keep in touch with the ship
yards and learn from them in gen
eral way the amount of materials, sup
plies and equipment required for ex-
tensions. so that proper schedule may
be placed before the War Industries
Board for survey, and if necessary for
ALLEGATION. think you will appreciate
that during this time, when the de-
mand for many materials is so far in
excess of the supply. it is most essen
tial that clearing house be provided,
so that the needs of different govern
ment agencies may not conflict.
The War Industries Board consti-
tutes such clearing house, and it is
in my opinion very essential instru-
ment in the conduct of industry under
present conditions"

The Proportion Of
Combatant Troops

A word may be necessary as to
the proportions of fighting men rep
resented by the figures given. There
* at the beginning of any such eff
fort a very large proportion indeed
of non combatants. Communica-
tons have to be made ready and all
the auxiliary forces are in excessive
proportion to the combatant forces.
Then, as events proceed the pro-
portion of combatants to non-com-
batants gradually rises until it
teaches a certain fixed percentage,
which it retains throughout the cam
paign.
1t is a gratifying feature of the
present situation that the American
combatant forces are already 20 per
cent OF the whole, which is very
near to the maximum proportion to
be attained. In other words, the
very rapid delivery of men during
the last two months has already very
nearly eliminated the original ex-
cessive proportion of non-comba-
tants. There were in Europe at the

Gibbon called the Albanians "vagrant
tribes of shepherds and robbers" but
in Gibbons time little was known Of
the Albanians except that they had
fought off successive waves Of Roman,
Turkish and Slavic forces for 1900
years.
Awaits Wilson Benevolence
The last decade has seen the con-
scious awakening Of a coherent ma
tional spirit among the Albanians and
culture t. The result is that Albania
is one of the suppliants awaiting Presi-
dent Wilson's benevolence to small
peoples who long for the opportunity
for self-cultvation and self oppression
There is a general tendency among
observers Of the Balkan field to grant
Italian benevolence toward Albania as
the most effective means of maintain
ing her own Adriatc security 1t was
1smail Renal Bey, president of the
Albanian national government before
equilibrium of European power made
it necessary to put crown on William
Of WED, who said:
"Italy Of course wants friend and
not an enemy on the other side of the
Straits of Otranto." And Italy had not
failed tc win the friendship of Essad
Pacha when his authority in Albania
became apparent.
Long Cultivated by Italy
Italy's claim to the Albanian coast
has some of the authority Of kinship.
Many Albanians have crossed the Adj
Ratio to Italy to settle in the Abruzzi
and elsewhere. Italy has not failed
to use this as a road toward Albanian
favor.
Austria for a long time carried on
open propaganda through the Church,
supporting the Jesuit school at Sou
tart by funds from state Golfers in
Vienna, and by marked attention to
trade relations with the southern hill
tribes. Italy combated this in her
own way, but with a success that was
as much tribute to Italian under
standing of the Albanian character as
it was a criticism of Austrian lack of
subtlety.
The strange result of the present
situation is the point of departure for
new friendship between the Albanian
hill tribes and the. southern Slays, who
have always been hostile. Both of
them now see in Allied victory over
Austro- Bulgarian forces guarantee
of their own future satisfaction.

1t is really an amazing piece of
work. 1t means that the whole enor-
mously complex machine responded
Immediately to the unexpected, sud-
den call. If it had been mere dead
material which was thus transport
ed with such astonishingly rapid ex-
pansion due to the unexpected need
it would have been wonderful
enough, but when you are dealing
with men it means infinite problems
of supply to keep the stream alive,
and not only alive but equipped.
/ say again that nothing like it
has been known in the history of
