ExrRAvAGANCE IN WAR TIME.

Some people deprecate the talk of
economy in war times, on the ground
that 1t will upset business. They
think if people stop buying Injuries,
great numbers of the people will be
out Of work.
Yet it seems a false foundation for
success in war, that we must keep
thrawing away money on needless ex-

as we go along, the easier the war
will come. The extravagances in
which SO many people indulge seem
most untimely at this crisis If peo-
pie will stop foolish use of money, the
difficulties Of financing this war win
be greatly relieved.

BIC DRIVE: IN
SPRING MAY
BRING PEACE
(Unjtcd PreSs)

Washington, Jan 25.-Ofiicial senti-
ment in Washington today was that
the great spring offensive will be the
turning point for international peace
deliberations. The President and his
closest advisers still remained as
secretive as ever. but high officials
who know the minds of the chosen
few, were authority for the statement
that the president regards it neces-
sary that there be another great ef-
fort on both sides before the first ac-
tual peace steps can be taken.
Regardless of any response that
might be made direct or otherwise to
the presidents senate speech, many
diplomats agree that the goal of peace
is not in sight until one more effort
has been made.
Everyone feels that this effort will
come in the spring. News from the
various fronts indicates that prepara-
tions are being made for one supreme
offensive. 1t is thought that this ac-
tion in the war zone will start within
the next six weeks.
