The wartime rationing system passed smoothly in the Parliament.
This was overseen by the reserve army led by Gallieni.
Within the rationing system, Gallieni restricted unnecessary entertainment and luxury spending, such as limiting cinemas to three operating days a week, closing the Paris Museum, and rationing the supply of gas, electricity, and coal to the populace.
At the same time, he significantly increased the prices of tobacco and alcohol, except for military supplies.
This was targeted at the enjoying capitalists and wealthy class at the rear.
Additionally, bread and food were distributed to civilians free of charge on a per capita basis, and food items were sold at fixed quotas and fair prices.
This was to ensure the survival of civilians, with the fixed quotas preventing capitalists from hoarding supplies for the poor, doing so would mean they would have to forgo their own quota and go hungry.
The only facility that remained unrestricted was the Hôtel des Invalides.
