hostilities opened across the seas
postal-savings receipts began to
increase by leaps and bound
and Withdrawals fell off, a re-
suit quite contrary to the pre-
dictions of many well-informed
persons who, in their magma

their savings to the bootleg and
body-belt repositories whence
they came before intrusted to
Uncle Sam. But the forecasters
failed to recken on the absolute
confidence of the American citi-
zen, regardless of the flag that
first met his eyes, in the ability
and purpose of the Government
to carry out its obligations, not
only among the nations of the
earth, but with the humblest
citizen of our land.
Two important results have
followed; thousands of people,
largely of foreign birth, accus-
toned to send their savings
abroad, are now patrons of our
postal-savings system; and enor-
NOUS sums of actual cash have
been released for commercial
uses among our own people at a
time when the need for every
available dollar is pressing.
The growth of postal saving in
the United States has been steady
and healthy and the system has
filled ali important gap between
the tin-can depository and the
factory paymaster. On July l,

Here, briefly, terribly, the supe-

Unlike Paris, its position on the

southern front, ten miles distant,
the Nethe flowed through deep
marshes, forming natural moat,

impregnable.
Before these forts, in trenches
long ago prepared, stood the
whole Belgian field army, pres
emily reinforced by British ma
rines. All that the art of the en-.

sight of the whole world. In
less than a week those forts

had forced the river defenses,
the field trenches, driving the
Belgians before them. On Oct.

The comparative calm yesterday after
