WAR-SAV|hG CERTIFICATES
FOR THE SMALL INVESTOR

The man with limited means
even the school boy or girl with
a few pennies to spare now and
the n-who wants a safe and
profitable investment which at
the same time will help the coun
try, finds his opportunity in the
new war savings certificate plan.
During December, 1917, and
January, 1918, war savings
stamps will be sold at SAP each
at post offices, banks, trust com
panies, and many business
houses and factories throughout
the country. At the beginning
of each succeeding month the
cost of a stamp will increase l
cent. All war savings stamps
issued during 1918 will mature
January l, 1923, when they will
be redeemed at S. each. The
difference between the purchase
price and the price at maturity
represents the interest the Gov.
eminent will pay the holder, 4
per cent compounded quarterly.
The entire wealth and SECURITY
OF The United States is behind
the war savings certificates. No
person may purchase at one
time more than $500 worth, or
hold at one time more than $1,000
worth of these securities.
Thrift stamps costing rs cents
each may be purchased from
time to time and affixed to a
thrift card, which is supplied
without cost. These stamps
will not bear interest but a thrift
card when filled at a cost Of 81
may be exchanged for an inter-
est bearing war-saving stamp by
turning the card in and paying
the difference between 81 and
the current price of a war saw
lngs stamp. With the first war
savings stamp bought the pur-
chaser will obtain without charge
a war-savings certificate contain.

FACES CRISIS
Food and Clothing. Almost In

Allied Legation Gets Information From
Eye Wltness-sayonets Keep DE-
elpline-Manpower Falls.

Washington. Dec. San Allied lega
tion has made public an official report
received from Jassy, Rumania, de,trib.
ing the conditions III Austria-HHngary.
The statement Is the most complete
and authentic concerning the situation
III the dual monarchy yet received In
Washington.
"An Austrian officer of Slav nation,
atty" the report says, "who recently
gave himself up to the Russians on the
Rumanian front, has some interesting
information as to the miserable condi-
tons prevailing in Austria Hungary.
The harvest has been much less plenti.
full than in previous years. In Istria,
Dalmatia, and Bosnia the yield has
been practically nil. There Is a great
scarcity of many necessaries of life
and some are simply unobtainable.
Fabulous Prices Prevail.
CLOTHES and footgear have reached
fabulous prices; in fact, they are no
longer to be bought because the state
requisitions everything in advance.
Cards are issued for all articles and
tobacco is vanishing, though every sol.
der still gets his ounce and a half at
the expense Of the civilian, who has to
go without. Coffee and tea are not to
be had. A great. financial crisis pre-.
walls throughout the land.
"In spite of all the military success
es, the whole people is convinced that
this war will be lost by the Central
Powers, and therefore the whole popu,
! lation Is crying for peace.
Great Riots Occur.
During the last summer great riots
occurred in many places and particu.
larly in Hungary and Bohemia. In
Budapest the rioters took possession
Of a munitions factory and the revolt
was only suppressed with the loss of
thousands killed and wounded.
Every man Is taken for the army
from the age of II to 81. Even those
who have returned home as unfit be.
cause of wounds have been taken into
the army. There are many deserters.
They have taken refuge in the noun
tains and become outlaws. In Potro.
ragera alone are more than 1000 such
outlaws.
Keep Discipline by Force.
with my own eyes I have seen the
latest recruits for the Hungarian army,
youths and old men from the 1929
Honved regiment, marching through
Budapest, and at their side Bosnian
Mussulmen soldiers marching with
flyed bayonets. "A similar condition Of
things almost prevails at the front.
II the ,Slavs are in. the firing line the
Hungarians form a reserve and the
general reserve is always composed of
Germans who are there to keep dis.
ciplne by force"

Red Cross recently Sent the following
statement to all Division Managers:
ut is imperative that all of the
sweaters, wristlets and socks that can
possibly be made by the women Of the

pacity OF all our resources to supply.

compelled to buy in the market 55O-

HIGH TRIBUTE TO AMERICANS
French Give U. s. Engineers Credit
For Braveness.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Many Ameri.
al soldiers have died bravely on the
Cambria front, where they have been
assisting the British in countering the
terrific thrusts of the Germans, &C.
cording to an official communication
received from the French government.
=: High tribute to the gallant conduct
of the Americans, who were of the
United States army engineer corps. is
paid. They were engaged in operating
and building military railroads, when
they were caught by the enclrcling
move of the Germans. Previous dis.
patches had, told that the American
engineers were in action, but no word
of casualties had previously been re.
ceived. Names of the men slain and
the exact number is not known here.
The French cable says:
I'VE must remark upon the conduct
OF certain American soldiers. %plonears
and workmen on the military railroad
In the sector Of the German attack
west Of Cambria and Nov. 80.
"They exchanged their picks and
shovels for rifles and cartridges and
fought with the English. Many died
thus bravely, arms in hand. before the
invader. All helped to repulse the
enemy.
There Is not a single person who
saw them at work who does not render
warm praise to the GOODNESS, discipline
and courage of these improvised com
batants."
