ment to-day. Ireland will appreciate

This appeal met with great sue
cess" said Sir Hedley THE young
women Haunted these advertisements
at the young men in the streets until
in self-defense a stream of volunteers
began to pour into the recruiting Of
fees. 1t was plea which by its very
simplicity and truth reached home"
Then Advertise for Loans
From the campaign for raising re-
cruits Sir Hedley turned to Treasury
advertising for the war loans. He sub
mitted to Mr. McKenna, Chacellor of
the Exchequer, a plan for a campaign.
1t was a radical venture for the con-
servative Treasury department, but
Mr.. McKenna believed that 1t would
pay and had the courage to approve
Sir Hedley's scheme. Vast sums have
been needed and the advertisements
have been made strong to meet the oc-
casion. Businessmen have been ap-
pealed to with such crisp bits as: Use
your money to save the lives of the
men who are fighting your battles"
diers," Even the women who have
nobly helped the war in a thousand
ways have been asked to aid further
by lending their money. One adver-
tisement which has attracted great at
tention is in the form of the following
imaginary conversation between a ci-
villain and soldier, under the heading

do something to stop them? The Ger
man army must be beaten in Bel
gium The time to do that is now. Will
you help? Yes? Then enlist to-day.

Sacrifice Convenience
Still another advertisement contain
ed the following appeal to those who
employed male servants:
Have you a butler groom, chauf-
feur, gardener or game keeper serving
you who at this moment should be
serving your King and Country? Have
you man serving your table who
should be serving a gun? Have you a
man digging your garden who should
be digging trenches Have you a man
driving your car who should be driv-
ing a transport wagon? Have you a
man preserving your game who should
be helping to preserve your country? ?
A great responsibility rests on you.
VIII you sacrifice your personal con-
venience for your country's need? Ask
your men to enlist to-day"
Best Boy Wearing Khaki
What is considered by many as one
of the best recruiting advertisements
was addressed to the young women of
Ireland where Sir Hedley spent some
time during the campaign. 1t follows:
rs your Best Boy wearing khaki
If not don't you think he should be?
If he does not thing that you and your
country are worth lighting for, do you
think he is worthy of you? Don't pity

and her country-and for you. If your

about the greatest criticism from the
more conservative people is that con-
demning extravaganza, it being main
tanned that it is beneath the dignity
of the government to deal with such
matters in this way. Many business
men also are said to have attacked
this campaign, for it was striking hard
at their business. It was a delicate
matter to handle but Sir Hedley kept
putting out his ads with the result, he
declares, that there has been decid-
ed turn in favor of economy through
out the country.
ITO express extravagantly in war
Ntime is worse than bad form, 1t is un-
patriotic" is one of the sharp exhor-
tations which have been hurled at the
British public Another poster reads:
New clothes should only be bought
when absolutely necessary, and these
should be durable and suitable for all
occasions. Luxurious forms, for eX-
ample, of hats, boots, shoes. stockings,
gloves and wells, should be avoided"
Many other advertisements have been
put out along this line but the gist
of them is given in the following:
You are helping the Germans
when you use a motorcar for pleas
ure, when you employ more servants
than you need, when you waste coal,
electric light or gas. when you eat and
drink more than is necessary to your
health and efficiency Set the right
example, free labor for more useful
purposes, save money and lend it to
the nation and so help your country
Sr Hedley stated that the working
classes have turned over for govern
ment use nearly one hundred million

Soldier: How much money have

Civilian: What has that to do with

Soldier: "a lot. How much is one of

Civilian; I'D pay anything rather
than lose an arm
Soldier: VERY we'll. Put the price
of your arm, or as much as you can
afford. into exchequer bonds or war
saving certificates and lend your
money to your country"
The recently inaugurated plan
whereby small savings may be turned
into war loans at five per cent COM
pound interest, fifteen shillings and
six-pence returning twenty shillings at
the end of five years, has been adver-
tiseG in many ways, the most striking
displays being those pointing out that
124 cartridges can be bought for fif-
teen shillings and six-pence, and that
six hand grenades cost only fifteen
shillings

FIGHT MOSQUITOES WITH
DYNAMITE
Special to the Telegraph

West Haddonfield, N. j.. July 2s. =
Residents of this Borough for years
have been tormented by mosquitoes
which, it was learned, were ,propagat-
ed in stagnant pools between the rail-
road and Haddon avenue. It was
found impossible to drain these to the
street cutters, and 1t was decided to
sink the water into the ground. A
heavy charge of dynamite was sunk
and discharged about 20 feet under
the surface. This caused the pools to
disappear and a marked diminution
in the number of mosquitoes.

pounds from their savings since the
war began. Part of this has been put
into the war loans directly and part
has been deposited in the postal saw
ings banks. Sir Hedley believes that
the advertisements have been respon-
sible for the deposit of large proper
ton of this amount.
