NEW POSTAL SAVING ACT

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the post Office.
This is made possibly by an import
ant amendment to the Postal Savings
Act just approved by President Will
son. A postal savings depositor may
now have an account amounting to
$1,000 upon which interest will be
paid. Formerly $500 was the maxium
amount he could have to his credit
This enlargement of postal savings
facilities will be very gratifying to
thousands of depositors who have al
ready reached the old $500 limit and
are anxious to entrust more of their
savings to Uncle Sam. Another fea-
ture OF the amendent that will avoid
further embarrassment to the public
and to postal officials is the doing
away with the limit on the amount
that could be accepted from a deposit
or monthly. Under the old law only
800 could be deposited in a calender
month. The amendent aboljshes this
restriction. While the Postal Savings
System has already proved signal
success MS is shown by the fact that
more than half-a-million depositors
have over eighty million dollars stand
ing to their credit. still It has fallen
short of meeting the full demands
of the public because of the restric-
lions which have now been eliminat-
ed Postmaster General Burleson and
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Dockery have been tireless-iH their
efforts to secure modification of the
limitations and the new liberalizinp
LEGISLATION is particularly gratifying

many and Austria, while the Teutonic
combination is double that of the
United States, according to navy de-
partment information, Captain Josiah
Mexican, chief of the staff of opera
tions, told the house naval committee.
Mexican said the French navy is
fifteen to twenty per cent stronger
than. the American and so far as is
definitely known Japan would have
sixteen capital ships when seventeen
American dreadnaughts, now build
ing or authorized, are completed.
Mexican differed with the recent
testimony Of Rear Admiral Grant, in
sisting on submarines of the eight 500
ton type. Mexican said smaller boats
should operate from shore bases.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Germany's
reply to the latest request of the
United States for assurance that sub
marine warfare will be conducted in
accordance with international law is
expected to be a fiat statement that
the assurances previously given in the
Arabic and Lusitania cases referred
only to unarmed vessels, and Germany
must feel certain that submarines

tackled. Furthermore Germany prob
ably will ask the United States for a
definition of defensive armament and
this doubtless will be the basis for
lengthy negotiations.
The United States today formally
announced it will not accept as legal
the Teutons' declaration of an inten-
ton TO sink armed merchantmen.
Sweden today warned its subjects
to keep off entente ships.

HUGE FRAUDS
IN RECRUITING
OF RUSSIANS
Reported Sensational Dis

RY AssocrATEp PREss.

Berlin, Feb. 18.-(By wireless to
sayviIIe)-"A Russian newspaper
publishes seasata DISCLOSURES con
corning illegal exemptions from mill
tary services" says the Overseas
News Agency. ''The secretary of a
recruiting committee at Petrograd
and large number of military sur
geons have been arrested. They are
charged with having accepted large
amounts ranging from ten thousand
rubles up in each case.
1.-THE Russian press also reports
that Moscow committee for the re-
lief of refugees received 100000
rubles from the government in De-
cember of 1915. The president of the
committee, Prince Toubetsky, stated
later that 100000 rubles more was
sent to the committee in December
and 100000 rubles in January, but
that this money never reached its
destination. The leakage has not yet
been explained.
'This corruption together with the
policy of the Russian au-
thorities, caused a strong opposition
among members of the
duma. After the downfall of Premier
Coremykin, the new premier, M.
attempted to calm the storm
by meeting the party leaders indi-
vidually. Most of these leaders de-
clined to receive him. He then in
vited the leaders to afternoon tea in
order to establish harmonious social
but this move was equally

the recent convention of the party
