It prescribes the treatment and the pro- cedure to be followed in a section south of the Vesle river (Marne sal- ient). All the inhabitants capable of working, the order says, mut be used for the needs of the army, regardless of their age. Their “salaries” are to be paid in paper currency at the rate of 50 cents a day as the maximum for men; 40 cents for men and women between the ages of 17 and 20, and 30 cents for boys from 15 to 17. > The inhabitants, however, must pay in French gold or silver for their rations, The supplies of course were taken from the population before be- ing sold back to them. iX paus bar des naee Snale ‘BOO?
