Carranza government cannot be held
responsible for outrages perpetrated

that government, but in view of the

The popularity OF the Postal Saw

growth may be seen from the fact
that during the six months of the
fiscal year 1911 when the system was
first in operation, the deposits were
$677, Jas. At the close of the fiscal
year, June 80, 1915, the deposits were
sos ,6S4, 7OS At the end of the fiscal
year 1911 the number depositors
was 1913; at the end of the fiscal
year 1915 the depositors numbered
52s.514 It is estimated that on the
3Oth of November the number had
increased to 10000, with deposit
account of s73,0oO,00o. The net profit
from postal savings for the year
reached $421 ,O28.4
1t will be seen from the foregoing
that thrift is on the increase in the
