BRITISH STILL
OPTIMISTIC ON
"SUB" QUESTION

London, Dec. 13.-Despite the fairly
large number of sinkings reported
this week, there is no decrease in OPP
timisx1 among those who know the
submarine war situation. who see no
reason for modifying Premier Lloyd
Georges statement of Nov. 20 that
there is no longer any fear OF the
submarine proving a decisive factor
in the war.
Events since Nov. 20 in fact have
tended to increase rather than de-
crease the confidence with which the
premier spoke. The month Of No
vember was a red letter month in the
anti-submarine war, for three rea-
sons. First, the loss Of tonnage dur
ing the month was the lowest since
/ the unrestricted submarine campaign
began. Second, the sinkings OF en-
envy submarines were the greatest
ever recorded in single month.
Third, the launchings of new mer-
chantmen from British yards came
within measurable distance" OF
equalhng the loss of tonnage by sub
marine attack.

CLEWS AGAIN in
ROLE OF SANITY
TO WAR CHILDREN

Henry Clews renews his appeal for
the Dollar Christmas Fund as follows:
MANY thousands of destitute chill
dren in Belgium are again looking to
the Dollar Christmas Fund to shed
ray of sunshine upon theirl ives this
year. They were not disappointed
last year nor the year before and
with united effort we hope they will
not bed isappointed in 1917. Our de-
sire is to cable the entire proceeds to
Brussels on Christmas Eve and ar
rangements are already in hand
whereby approved charities and
agencies, acting under the auspices
and control of the Commission for
Relief in Belgium, will undertake the
purchase of extra food in Belgium for
distribution on Christmas Day.
1.-The response to date has not been
quite so gratifying as in previous
years and at the time of writing there
is a prospect-unless we open our
hearts and loosen our purse strings
that the British contribution will
beat the American contribution for
the first time since the war started.
There is, however, still time to make
good and I write to you therefore to
urge that everybody who has a dollar
to spare may give to this good cause
and that everyone who has given be-
fore may give again. Any donation
sent to Henry Clews, care Of Henry
Clews & Co., bankers, Broad street,
New York, will be gratefully acknwl-
edged. The same representative and
responsible committee which backed
the first annual appeal of the Dollar
Fund four years ago is with US again
this year. In the name of the poor
est of the poor in Belgium-over a
million destitute little ones-I beg
that you readers will help our COM
mittee to cable to Brussels a special
contribution which we know from
previous experience will be accepted
by elgium as an expression of SYM
pathy with great sorrow from one
people to another and a tangible
proof that Christmas good will even
in these days of strife and bloodshed
has not disappeared from earth.

STATEMENT ON
NEW SECURITIES
or GOVERNMENT

Hartford, Dec. 13-Because Of some
misunderstanding regarding the diff
ference between the new Thrift Stamp
and the old Postal savings stamp,
ter, director of the Thrift Stamp and
War Savings Certificate campaign in
Connecticut, has issued the following
explanatory statement regarding the
war thrift stamps:
|. War stavingS stamps are baby
| bonds" They have the govern
ment behind them, and are desirable
Investments at any time. Each pur-
chaser of one of the rs Gent stamps
is given a thrift card" which will
hold Is stamps. When filed this
card may be exchanged for a, IS War
Stamp at any post office, bank, or
other authorized agency, by adding
| II cents in cash at any time prior to
February 1, 1918, after which time add
one cent for each additional month.
| To those who prefer to buy IS worth
of stamps outright if bought before
February 1, 1918, the cost will be 4.12,
with one cent added for each month,
so that a S. stamp purchased In De-
cenIber, 1918, would cost $4.23.
| When buying S. stamp a folder
will be furnished which bears the
name of the purchaser, which is called
war savings certificate. This can
| be cashed only by the original pur-
chaser, save in the case Of death or
disability. These certificates contain
| 20 spaces, and therefore, when hlled'
account for 500. No one person IS
allowed to hold more than ten OF
these completed certificates.
Interest on a Liberty Loan Bond Is
payable every six months, but inter-
est on war savings certificates Will
accumulate and will be paid in one
sum on January q, 1928, at the rate
| of four per cent. interest, compounded
quarterly.
A thrift stamp or war savings stamp
! if lost is the same as a lost postage
stamp. Consequently it should be af-
fixed to a thrift card or a war saw
ings certificate at once. Thus, with
the name of the owner displayed, 1t
would be recognized and returned If
lost, as it can be turned in for cash
by none but the original purchaser.
The Thrift Stamp furnishes a means
for making small loans to the gov
eminent which can be taken up by
small wage earners who have been
unable to purchase Liberty Bonds.
AS the War Savings Certificates are
accumulative, the owner will, in time,
have Toned money to the government
equal in value to that Of Liberty
Bond

mo honest person can claim that

there is suspicious identity in some
