they will be of the greatest service.
There have been various estimates OF
the annual total savings If the United
States, all the way from s5,OOO,OOOOOO
to $4,000, 900, 900. There is no doubt
that determination, if possible, OF
what is the surplus OF the American
people would aid US in finding out
whether there is any cause for appre-

the government to raise the huge
amount OF money as outlined in It's
programme without inJurlng commerce

With characteristic insight into
future affairs as determined by the
present, Napoleon while a prisoner in
exile on the Island Of 81. Helena, be
tween 1915 and 1921, made a remark
able statement which has but seldom
been quoted. He said:
Il made the mistake Of my career,
when | had the opportunity. that
did not remove the Hohenzollerns from
the throne of Prussia. As long as this
house reigns and until the red cap Of
liberty is erected in Germany there
will be no peace in Europe.
ave may not agree with Napoleon in
his purpose of conquest, but we do
agree with his fundamental ideas OF
liberty. The present condition OF the
war in Europe, when the facts are
brought to our attention, emphasizes
the vital need of our prosecuting the
war with zeal and logged determine
ton. The issues are great and demand
every ounce of courage and true
patriotism to win the war.
ut would be well for US 10 inquire
into the sources Of our available capital
in order to ascertain about how mueh
we may be depended upon in furnishing
funds to the government for the prose
cution Of war.

tions of the United States in 1917, as
estimated from the report Of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, June
50. 1917, is 5000, 100000, OF about
$50 per cent greater than the surplus
income of corporations for 1913. Bust

savings amount 70 si,OOO,OOO, tOO.
Thus, in this abnormal war period, we
are able TO save during 1917 over
$4,000, 900.
Loan Should Not Hurt Finance
"The exces amount that the nation
has saved has equipped our industries
to greater producing power; they
will not need for further development
the surplus capital that they are earn
ing. This excess may be diverted TO
government loans. If we saved over
eighteen billion dollars in 1917 1t will
not be matter OF great difficulty for
the government TO raise the funds as
proposed without injuring business,
provided the next loan IS tioated IN the
districts outside of financial centres.
II the sale OF the next bond issue -
particularly directed in the financial
centres Of the country, currency lntia-
ton must follow.
Must Do Without Luxuries
Every household must exercise every
possible economy every economy
which can be exercised and keep the
health of the family sound. IL IS not
necessary to eat less, but il is neces-
sary to waste less. IL is not necessary
to wear less clothing, but it is neces'
sary 70 buy better. We should make
the things last. When shoes are
mended a pair of shoes are freed for
some soldier. We need not be afraid
that this will hurt the shoe manu-
facturer He cannot begin TO produce
enough shoes TO supply the demand.
The people should make a systematic
canvas over every bit they spend.
they should 60 over the items OF their
table and see where they can be i'm
proved; they should 20 over the items
of their clothing and see II they cannot
be reduced very largely. Luxurles and
unwise expenditures for pleasures can
be reduced TO an astonishing degree,
once we plan carefully. We must then
take the sum not spent on such neces-
sar.es and put it aside for government
ponds.
I'VE do not have to be concerned about
the cry. Business as usual Business
must he peter :han usual. Business
must be greatly increased-the produc-
tive power OF the entire nation must be

Foreign Born Do Their Share

No one appreciates the advantages of
a Liberty bond as an investment more
than the foreign born citizen. 4 large
portion Of the new bonds is expected
10 90 to this class Of investors. \ gov
eminent agent who toured a factory
district in the last loan drive reported
that more of the bonds were taken by
foreign born than by native Americans.
The bonds are not only an advantage
10 the foreign born, but they make for
solidarity Of sentiment in this war.
Naturally the foreign-born holder Of
United States bonds wants his adopted
country to be victorious, and that
quickly.
This raises another important phase
of the floating Of the loan. The gov
eminent is anxious that the bonds be
taken in small lots by individuals
rather than in huge blocks by large in
vcstors. In other words, this loan is
10 be the most popular ever foatcd in
this country. 1t will give each partic
pant another reason for cooperating
with the government toward the sue

be another step toward unifyng sent

Will BE Patriotic Drive

The Liberty Loan Committee, which
for months has been quietly preparing
20 open to-morrOw's drive, and which
has executive Offices at 100 Broadway
expects, along with its bond selling
drive of four weeks, to conduct an
intensive patriotic campaign. The
selling of the bonds will help arouse
the public TO realization Of the fact
that we ARE at war, that our SOL
diers are about 20 take their places in
the trenches, and that it behooves
every loyal American at home TO do
his bit This sentiment will be sent
broadcast through scores of channels
Each trade has been asked to form
a committee and go in for special
drive of its own. The heads of the
committee will go through every fac
tory in its line and solicit subscrip-
tons The professions will be called
upon 20 do similar work
In the churches announcements will
be made from the pulpits concerning
the details Of the loan. II is likely
that there will be a Liberty Loan

people may act collectively in promot-
ing the loan.
School teachers are TO tell their
pupils of the purposes of the loan and
TO carry the messages into the homes
in every school district. 1t is hoped
TO make every pupil an active selling

The American Red Cross has on its
hands one of the worlds greatest and
grimmest jobs. In order to do the
work, the organization must have ut
once fifteen million members, It now
has five million on the rolls and is
campaigning to secure the ten million
additional members by Christmas eve.
Every man, woman and child in this
community ought to belong to- the Red
Cross. Being member doesn't mean
, that one is expected to 60 to Europe,
carry wounded soldiers off the battle
fields and nurse them in the hospitals.
1t doesn't mean that one need 60 to
the devastated areas Of France, or Bel
GUM, or Poland, or Serbia, and give
personal care to the starving, freezing,
naked, homeless women and children
there.
But it does mean that those of us
who stay comfortably at home will do
as much as we can in every way to
back up the organization already at
work "over there"
It does mean that the men among
US will contribute our bit to help our
brothers fighting the cause OF liberty
In Europe.
It does mean that the mothers
among US will knit and sew for the
wretched mothers Of Europe and their
pitiful babies.
1t does mean that our young women
will show practical sympathy for the
young women along the "western
front" and In Serbia who have suffered
unspeakable cruelties at the hands Of
bestial enemy soldiers.
1t does mean that our children be
made to understand the curse upon
the children Of Europe, and be taught
to make some sort Of sacrifice for the
cause of humanity. r
1t does mean that each Of US will do
what he can individually to supply
plenty of comforts for our soldiers
fighting the enemy and necessities for
the wounded in hospitals.
Stricken Europe is crying to heaven
for relief, and Providence Is answering
that prayer through the instrumental
lily Of the American Red Cross. ~
i, Now IL 1t had unlimited funds but
only a comparatively few members, the
Red Cross would be unable to do the
work before it. The first great need
is for millions of MEMBERSHIP sup
port of the folks "back home"
Do you know why our lads In the
army and navy are acQuitting them
selves 80 creditably-why they are,
amazing the allies by their bravery, in
telligence and enthusiasm? 1t Is be-
cause those lads are thinking always
Of their mothers and dads and sisters
and sweethearts and kid brothers.
The same thing goes for the Red
Cross. When all the dads and moth
ers and sisters and sweethearts and
kid brothers in America show their in
terest and sympathy for Red Cross
work, as members of the Red Cross
and as working members, why the Red
Cross will cover itself with glory for
ever more. .-'l.
