Colonel McAdams Explains Benefits
OF Savings Campaign Inaugurated
by Government, OF Which He Is
the Director for Virginia.

Al the monthly meeting of the Rich
mond Chapter, American Institute of
Banking. last night many topics Of
vital interest to all the people were
discussed by Or. Douglas S. Freeman
and Colonel Thomas Il. McAdams di-
rector for the state OF Virginia in the
thrift stamp and war savings certi-
ficateS campaign.
DIR. Freeman discussed the peace pro-
poSals OF Germany and what effect they
would have OF the world if agreed to
by the allies He showed where Ger

II she can secure Il foothold in Russia
and the Near East. IF they do secure
that toothold. then the war is iust
beginning" he said. "i;ven il GERMANY
gave up belgium and France she would
be the most dangerous state in the
history of the world if she secured the
dominating power in the Balkans and
the Near East"
Various other phases OF the war and
peace ideas were very interestingly
discussed by DIR. Freeman. and he came
to the conclusion that the war is just
about one half over.
WANT TO "STAMP" GERMANY
OUT or EXISTENCE
: Colouel Mc.AdamS opened his address
by saying that We want to STAMP
Germany out of existence" lie then
explained tile reason why the govern
ment adopted the thrift stamp method
OF raising money. Not because it's an
easy way to raise money. but because
ii goes into every home, it teaches the
people lessons in thrift. in economy, in
saving. Whlo the Liberty bond sales
*ccdi ed large sums of money the in
oiridual was not reached. and the re-
suit was that the individual did not
feel his responsibility to the national
government.
Some people" he said, "havc argued
that tho thrift stamp campaign will
ruin business, will hurt the interests
of the banks. But Enrla nd's experience
has proven the opposite effect. Savings
in banks in England have Increased
since the thrift stamp campaign was
inauSuratcd And to argue that it will
ruin business is absurd, for the Amcri-
t IN government is tho biggest customer
in the world. and as matter Of fact

MORALE AT HOME,

In a little while now our troops
will man the trenches Of France, ac-
tually at grips with the German
horde. 1t is the careless habit of
many among US to think of that army
of peacemakers as a sort of automat-
ic weapon which, having been as
sembled and dispatched by the gov
ernment, will, if properly supplied and
replenished, move irresistibly upon
the enemy frontiers. This is not
merely untrue. it is dangerously
false.
The strength of the army is the
moral force in each Of US here at
home. 1t is our will that sent them,
and our faith must sustain them.
Tho they stand in France, they are in
no way separate from US. Their
minds are the mirror Of this nation.
Let us establish our own morale, and
theirs will be assured. Nothing less
than the freedom Of the world de-
pends upon them. Therefore, It is
the first duty Of every American to
examine the condition and quantity
of the faith that is in him.
1t must not be boastful and an
easy faith. Let not man say or
think "One Yankee can whip ten
Huns" That particular perversion
of nationalism has injured us in many
past wars and is still calledf patriot
ism in some quarters. This is war
of realities. and all such facile non
sense will be stamped into the bloody
mire Of the battlefields, together with
the German delusion that the world
can be stuffed with Kultur like a
Strassburg goose.-New York Trib-
une.

MOTOR CLUB RUN TOMORROW.

The run to be made tomorrow by the
Durango Motor club thru the fruit
and farming section of the basin
should be joined by everyone who can
possibly go. In addition to showing
friendly interest in our neighbors
to the south, the trip will be a dis
tinct pleasure to all who make it.
The cars will assemble at o'clock
tomorrow morning at the Exchange
and will go to Pennington via the
mesa road. At Aztec trip to the
newly excavated ruins will be made
and then the run continued to Farm
ington. Here lunch will be eaten and
the return made by way Of La Pla-
ia river valley, Redmesa and Fort
Lewis. Go and see the magnificent
crops now being harvested in these
sections. 1t will be a revelation to
those who have not made the trip
even for year or two. The Motor
club has some important business
which will be brought up concerning
a club resort. Boost the fair next
week and the town and Motor club by
going along tomorrow.
