And then that night we went by boat

POSTAL Savings
gain DURING War
Uncle Sans Banks Do Bigger
Business Since European
Strife Started.
S59,2OO,OOO ON DEPOSIT
Officials Want to Allow People to Place
More Than $I00 Each Month in
Government Banks.
s59,2OO,OOO ON DEPOSIT

More than 100000 people have been
added to the lists of depositors in pos
tai savings banks since the European
war began. During the war period the
total deposits in these banks have in
creased at the rate of nearly S3,OOO'OOO
! a month.
| During the entire fiscal year which
ended June 80. 1914. postal deposits
increased about $9,600.000, or 2S per
cent; whereas, during the six months
| from July to January l, S15,75O,OOO, or
an increase of Sc per cent was added
I to the aggregate savings in the gov
ernment's keeping. The European war
more than doubled the rate of increase.
For forty three months postal saw
! ings accumulated at the healthy and
substantial rate of about S1,00O,00O
month. Then, when Europe's paralyz-
| ing conflict broke out, Withdrawals fell
| off and thousands of strange faces ap-
peared at post offices to entrust their
! soiled and tarnished savings to Uncle
| Sam Hence, the August figures
! showed a net gain in deposits of
| 81, 900, ,000-four times the average
gain; September and October rolled up
I over SO, 5000 each: and while Novem-
Der and December felt the usual holi-
day drains, these months nevertheless
| show more than twice the normal re-
ceipts or about 100000 each.
Depositors Average S11S.
| The new year opened with approx
mately $50 10000 on deposit in postal
! banks to the credit of $4,000 people, an
average Of S119 per depositor.
This recent phenomenal growth of the
postal savings system is regarded by
| Postmaster General Burleson and Third
! Assistant Postmaster General DOckery,
the latter of whom is charged with the
direct supervision of the system, as con-
| vincing evidence of confidence in the
government and of the increasing utility
| of the postal savings to the private
banking and business world. At a time
| of grave financial stress, a vast sum OF
| cash. which either would have gone
abroad or would have remained in hid
ing. reached the postal savings and was
diverted thence into business channels.
These facts are regarded by postal
authorities as eloquent argument in be-
| half Of the legislation now pending which
modifies the existing limitations on the
amount that may be accepted by post
masters from depositors. In all the large
cities scores of would-be depositors have
been turned away in the past few
months because they offered larger
amounts than the law permitted post
masters to accept. If the restriction
limiting to S1o0 the deposit which may be
made in a single month is removed, and
if the maximum single interest-bearing
deposit be increased from 500 to 81 ZOO,
as proposed in the pending legislation,
the business public will reap a still
larger benefit from the operations Of the
postal banks.

This shortage of ships, the only means
OF ocean transportation, naturally con-
tributes heavily TO the shrinkage of busi-
tries.
Both importation and expectation are
restTicted-in many cases suspended en-
tirely. Many factories are closed, their
foreign markets being cut off. Others
have closed their doors because OF in
ability to import raw materials.
Thus the pitiful bread lines grow
longer, with the ever increasing army of
the unemployed. And thus, too, because
OF interference with our neutral cargOes
frictional relations spring up between our
people and our cousins across the sea.
All of this adds trouble and uneasiness
to the outlook, already sufficiently de-
pressing.

justice, have been let loose to strike
another blow which will fall us far
short of destroying the man as any

Some of the yellow sheets have

any ill will towards each other. They
were both working for peace and are
