Money-Savers Are Needed.

Millions of new savers must be draft
ed to finance the United States in the
war This is the opinion of the ma
iority of bankers in Washington and
throughout the country. They say
that there are not enough persons who
now have the saving habit to make an
equitable distribution of war bonds.
The great trouble seems to be that the
people in the last liberty loan cam
paign looked to the banks to finance
them in buying the bonds. This many
banks did without cent of profit-in
fact, it cost many millions of the banks
perfectly good resources to help make
the issue the success it was.
Many new plans have been brought
out by bankers for the handling Of the
second liberty loan. One plan that
seems to have the earmarks of success
is the organization Of liberty loan
clubs" patterned after the Christmas
savings clubs.
Not only have the banks been work
ing on plans for making the next loan
a success, but the big advertising agen-
cies too, have been working on prof.
ects, which have been submitted to
bankers for their approval.
.In a vast enterprise such as prepar-
ing a hundred million people to do one
bonds. it is obvious that If the banks
of the nation concentrate upon one
definite plan. greater results will be
obtained" said c.. F. Jacobsen, cashier
of the National Metropolitan Bank of
