i:rt many others. again. would cX-
pcrcncc no hardship in giving nrc,
ten. twenty or even aft! pounds to the
war loan which th.s would otherwise
pend without an. hesitation on

Tho Chancellor Of the ENchsauer Is
+! uoi asking more than that every won-
an would place what she can honorably
spare without dcfraudinE her creditors
or Sinking her responsibilities. in n
thoroughly sound nvcstm.nt for the
Immediate hcactit Of the state
But, unfortunately. much misunder-
standing prevails alnong many women
Of tho middle and poorer classes CON-
! corning tho advantages OF the loan.
They imagine they viii not get their
money back TIL thirty years have
elapsed. And can't spare any money
for such lifetime. said one woman
to mo. Il shall lie dead by them and
meantime | have children to feed and
10 clothc." This sort OF m!sapprehcn-
sion arises from tho involved and oh
scurc language in which oiticia idom
elects 10 explain" things.
y letter. very typical Of this con-
fusion. WAS published in tho Times
frx,, T,.t,.
after porsuading her servant to buy,
5-ShillinS war certificate. the wo- =
man returned 10 say she had been told
that II she died tho government would
take all her savings. and that il
not possible for her 10 get her IL
shillinEs back even II she Was starv-
ing. So she would have nothing to do
with tho war certificate.
Another case is that Of a practical
woman farmer. who said. ".,il very I
we'll 10 ask me To invest in the war
loan. but I'm told also 10 produce food.
and haven't enough money to pay
for abor, even il could set it,"
Now wrong or right. there is
growing feeling OF uncasincss that ths
! government Is trying TO rob the work
ers of their savings. and venture to
think this should he nippcd in tho bud.
No FOHCIBLE HANDS
on LIFE EARNINGS
Women can help and have helped,
50 much TO win the war" and there
! is no doubt they will go on helping.
But AZ keepers Of the home fires burn
! ing. they should not be allowed to 4
imagine that tho government wishes to
lay forcible hands on their life earn
ings and psuperi2c them and their ben
. lonGinGs. Many Of them do think this:
and it is difficult 10 convince them OF
their error. The. know how hard It.
is to live already. aud they fear that
after tho war IL will lie harder {
And these errors, natural enough tn
women who are the managers Of homes
and families. need to he combated in
concise, helpful and encourage terms.
