MUST ECONOMIzE
TO CONTINUE WAR
ENGLAND HAS WORKED OUT A
CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION
AMONG THE PEOPLE
Every British Citizen Must Spend Less
to Make it Possible to Maintain
Nations Credit
By WILBUR S. FORREST

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, Aug. 19.-(By mail }
England has entered the second yeal
of war on strict basis of economy
Saving is not only a national duty
but bald imperative necessity. The
government must have $5,000,0 100000 a
year to carry on the war. The gov
ernment's annual revenue is only ST.
350,000,000. The balance-$3, $50, 900
0O0-must be furnished by the nation
the people.
The answer is. Strict economy
starting right away.
This is the keynote of stern mes
sage to the people from the Parlia-
mentary War Savings Committee,
headed by Premier Asquith, Bonar
Law and other notables. Assisted by
experts on national economy, the com
mittee is telling the people what to
save and how to save it.
A booklet for nationwide distribu
llOh, oOOu W D6 Ny lhC SOii-
mittee will place the issue before eve
ry British citizen, rich and poor, high
and low The language is simple and
to the point.
Here is the little problem in arth
metic that the government econom-
lists write on the national blackboard
for Mr.. John Bull:
Problem Worked Out
Eliminate the millions and just sup
pose that the British government were
an every day garden variety of man
John Bull. John has been enjoying
comfortable income of $11 800 a year.
After spending money for household
necessities, week -end trips to the sea
shore and furnishing gasoline for his
automobile he has been able to save
$500 a year Then suppose, sudden
ly, he finds himself enmeshed in law
suit with his aggressive neighbor,
Herr Johann Schmidt, of Berlin. To
carry on the lawsuit he must spend
$4,000 a year How can he find the
money?
He has four alternatives, the gov
ernment experts say:
Cd Sell his investments.
(2) Borrow from other people.
60 Draw on money he has in the
bank.
(4) Save out of the money he
usually spends.
But if he employs any of the first
three suggestions he will come out
of the lawsuit poorer than he went
in. There is but one logical sugges-
ton and that is to save-elimlnate
the luxuries, 1t means that he'll have
to economize, to eat, drink, smoke and
dress less extensively; keep fewer
servants, travel less, go to the the
atre less; utilize his garden to grow
The flowers that he formerly bought of
he florist, and the potatoes and veg
etables that he previously took from
he grocer; garage his automobile and
10 without innumerable unnecessary
hings that eat into the family ex-
,hequer. If John Bull does all this
le can keep on with his suit against
Johann Schmidt indefinitely and when
t is all over he will be no poorer. He
an then revert to the original and |
more comfortable mode of living.

to keep up it's battlefield lawsuit to
the indefinite end-and to emerge with
unimpaired credit.
1t is pointed out to John Bull col
lectively and individually that to sell
stocks and bonds abroad means a
poorer England; to borrow from 9TH
er nations means a greater and heav-
ier national debt; to draw on the pre-
valllng national fund mems sending
gold abroad and endanger British
worldwide banking. The problem that
Johann Schmidt's lawsuit puts up to
John Bull is the same problem that
the government puts up to the peo-
pie. 1t means use less and save more,
all Of which makes it possible for the
government to import less and ex-
port more.
During the first six months of 1915,
England imported $2,145, 100000 worth
of goods from other countries and
sold them only 750,000,00O Duly
subtracted and divided these figures
show that England bought from other
countries at the rate of $4,000 900 daily
more than she sold them
Now Abnormal Condition
In normal times, normal British
business supplies the deficit, but now
that there is war, the elements of
trade and commerce that supply the
difference are being used for war.
Thus, say the government economists,
is shown the imperative necessity for
thrift And the only solution of the
problem is a revolution of national
habits.
The government thrift campaign is
to enter every British kitchen and
garden
Each community will elect It's COM
mittee and outline its individual thrift
said H. E. Morgan chair
man of the parliamentary committee
today Everyone wants to help his
at a time like this. Flower
gardens and lawns must go. Vegeta
bles must take their place Every
lawn must become a potato patch

DOVE OF PEACE LOOMS
WASHINGTON OPTIMISTIC
HOPES RISE IN ENGLAND'S CONCESSIONS IN IN
TERESTS OF AMERICAN COMMERCE
LINKED WITH KAISER'S STAND
Latter's Apparent Attitude to be Mercifu on Pas
senger- Carrying Ships Considered Significant
Claimed England Not Changed
By the United Press Associations.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Hope for
peace in Europe is increasing at
Washington. Concessions made by
Great Britain in the interests of Amer
ican commerce brought the greatest
encouragement to official circles.
There is no intimation that the relief
to American shippers from some of
the 'hardships they have undergone
is in recognition of the change in
Germany's submarine policy. But
coming as sequal to the kaiser's not
vet very formal pledge of a merci-
full attitude toward passenger ships,
the news that England had yielded ev
en- slightly is deemed significant.
All Willing to Listen
1t is pointed out that point had
been reached where the belligerents
show willingness to listen to repre-
sentations and even accede to them
to some extent. Optimists take this
view as a start and there is no reason
why steady progress toward peace
shouldn't result.
Not Accept Peace Now
LONDON, Aug. 31.-Despite the
latest alleged German peace feeIers,"
the United Press is able to state up
on the highest authority that the peace
situation as far as England is con-
cerned has undergone no recent
change Few socialist leaders are in
favor of the ending of the war. But
neither in official circles nor in the
mass of the public is there an inclin-
alton to accept peace now, honorable
or otherwise. England is determined
that the strength of the new British
army shall be felt and that the Ger
mans must be driven from Belgium
and France.

The 1914 Valuation

The total valuation for 1914, with
the personal property included, was
$416,538, ,94628, and it was on that
basis that the tax levies for state plr-
poses were apportioned. Though no
figures are as yet available on the
personal property valuation for 1915,
it is understood that, even with that
amount added to the real property
roll, the valuation for 1916 will be
considerably lower than they were FOR
1914

The state auditors office has COM
