PROTECTION FOR DEPENDENTS

The announcement that the gov
ernment will provide for dependent
members of families of drafted men
will doubtless be received with ap-
probation and make the life of the
soldiers easier. The plan is to de-
duct from the soldiers pay a spe-
cifc amount monthly. depending on
the size of the family, but in no case
shall it be less than SIS. In addi-
ton. the relatives of the soldiers will
receive from a government fund set
aside an amount equal to that de-
Quoted from the pay of the soldier.
This will bring them a monthly
amount of not less than $50, and 1t
can go as high as 500, and perhaps
more.
Many of the men will make vol
untary allotments for their families,
anu "neu lnlS is uOne the govern
ment adds dollar for dollar. The
compulsory allotments apply to
wives, children and widowed moth
ers. and there is no question about
these being made by the men. For
sisters. brothers, fathers, or in the
cases Of other relatives the allot-
ments are left with the individual
soldier, but many of the men viii
take advantage Of the opportunity
offered by the government to aid
their people in some substantial way
while they are serving in the army
and will make voluntary allotments
for them.
The provision of the government
will serve to make the men who have
dependents better satisfied and 1t
also works for the contentment of
the people back home. The plan
goes into effect this month.

DOING WELL.

Lancaster and Lancaster county
have no desire to make capital OF
their patriotism nor proclaim their
virtues from the housetops but il
i due the people that they know
war causes now under way. In the
matter of the campaign for funds
for Y. NJ. c. A. war work which
ended yesterday, Lancaster county
did well. In fact, we doubt if any
county did better. On the night be-
fore the campaign opened the allot-
ment of $2.1OO for this county was
oversubscribed by STA. This was
accomplished at a meeting held in
the Methodist church. Col. Leroy
Springs started the fund with a con-
tribution Of 1000 and others. large
and small, quickly followed until the
subscriptions totaled $2.214. At
the close last night approximately
$4,000 had been raised
The Liberty Bond allotment for
Lancaster county was $4,000.
Lancaster county sold $4,000.
In the food conservation cam
paign, 3,068 pledge-cards were sign
ed in Lancaster county.
What the local Red Cross chapter
is doing in the war work is told in
our news columns from time to
time and in a single article enough
credit cannot be given 1t.
Lancaster county, all-in-all is do
! ing well. We do not care to boast,
or we would say more than that.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

The United States government has
established a plan by which it is
hoped to raise two billion dollars
for war purposes and offering an
opportunity to every one to aid the
government. The plan is to sell
war savings stamps" and they will
make their appearance on December
l2. The stamps are the govern
ment's certificates of Indebtedness
just the same as the Liberty Bonds,
but in smaller denominations. One
to be known as the thrift stamp
will be sold for 25 cents each. An
other will cost from s4.12 to s423,
depending upon when purchased. In
December of this year and January,
1918, the value of the war savings
stamp will be s4.12. and after Jan
uary, one cent for each month will
be added
With the first thrift stamp the
purchaser will be given a card con-
tanning spaces for 16 stamps. BY
purchasing 16 thrift stamps and af-
fixing them TO the card it may be
exchanged for a war savings stamp
by paying the difference between the
value OF the thrift stamps, s4.OO,
and the current value of the war
savings stamp. With the first war
saving by purchase or exchange
goes a war savings certificate con-
tanning spaces for 90 war savings
stamps. BY filling the twenty
spaces during December and Jan
uary, next, the cost will be $4,12
for each stamp, or sS24O for the
full certificate. On January l. 1928,
the certificates will be redeemed by
the government at 500, net profit
tc the holder of $3.50.
The war savings stamps carry in
terest at four per cent, compounded
quarterly, but the thrift stamp. by
itself, will carry no interest. The
stamps may be secured after De-
cember at all postofices, banks
and trust companies, depots, stores
and factories, and the entire
wealth of the United States is back
of these stamps"
They mature January /, 1923, but
there is provso that upon 10 days
notice in writing, after January l,
1918, they Will be redeemed bv
postmasters at cost plus one cent
month on each war savings stamp.
This plan affords an excellent op-
portunity for saving and at the same
time aiding the government in the
prosecution of the war. BY starting
with 25 cents one may soon save
complete certificate with an estab-
lished value of 500 five years hence
and its face value at all times.

CHINA READY TO HELP
ALLIES BEAT GERMANY
WASHINGTON. July II.

China is ready and willing TO draw upon
her countless hordes OF men to aid in beat
ing Germany,
In fact. Oriental diplomats today pre-
dicted that she wiz plunge into the war
with an initial contribution Of 100000 men.
She has 2O,OOO,OOO physically III men OF
military age, with the first half million al
ready equipped, and vast national resources
to draw upon for further equipment
The fight between monarchists and re-
publlcans In China is characterized as only
factional trouble at the basis of which lay
a struggle for leadership In formulating
the policy toward Germany
As the Orientals see it, China's partici-
patton in the war would mean her salvation,
inasmuch as II would train her masses in
modern warfare and make the nation strong
to resist what might threaten later-Japa-
nese aggresslons.
after the war China would be able to
assume her place among the Powers-a
recognized fighting democracy" said one
close to the Chinese Embassy today.
Parliament must reassemble before China
can take any action looking toward actual
war participation. This, IL is anticipated
will be accomplished by September l with
the new president Feng Kuo-Cheng in con-
troll.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE coffee mar
ket opened quiet and unchanged to points
higher today. Trading was quiet, and on
the call transactions amounted TO 1000 bags
all for May delivery.
The market was quiet during the re-
mainder OF the morning with the trading
still in a waiting position. Until there are
some developments abroad which may
bring about a more hopeful feeling Of
peace, there is nothing in the situation to
inspire any great demand. The crop in
Brazil is getting along, and many are in
clined to believe that offerings in the cost
and freight market will soon increase and
prices naturally be eased.
Receipts are still behind a year ago, al
though at Rio they are running a little
heavier, But II is only a question OF time
when they will become normal, as the crop
is expected to be a large one.
