 'I visited Grahovo on April 26, when l saw 1S2 persons, women. children, etc. die in 12 days because of lack of food, there being no food in the country whatever except a mixture of grass and miltet. and not enough of that. The peaple have eaten up all the dogs etc they can find: NfiSsich city is like this, also Drobnjoci Piva and ko- laso. and all she people are in the same condition, rich as well as poor, as money will not buy food.
 -I believe there are certainly 2oo people a day dying of famine in the country. The Austrian authorities all low each person in Cettinje to. buy 10 -dek" of cornmeal a day (about a handful, so the situation is a little better than In the rest of the coun- try. where no such food can be bought.

battalions of Austrian soldiers, one in CettinJe and the other spread around the country, in all Montenegro, and about %, 900 in Albania, Scutari, and Droc, which are all I know of.
 'The Austrian soldiers in the coun- try are perhaps more badly nourished than the pR,pie, and I have seen in the same villages above mentioned, myself, from March until May 2, 1917, 200 soldiers, Austrians, died of star vation in Cettinje alone. The men on the front are a little better than those in the interior: but there they are also dying of starvation, as from time to time soldiers return from the front in starved condition. The soldiers talk to the population and tell them that they know the war cannot last more than a month or two more, as they themselves can get nothing to eat."- London Chronicle.

Few people on the outside Of the

nent Nearly all our soldiers over

The insurance offered by the United

is military and naval forces has been
called the most just and humane pro-
vision ever made by any nation fer its
oldiers and sailors.
That its value and advantages are
appreciated by the Army and Navy
S evidenced by the extent which it
las ben awaited of. Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo officially announced
N December Il that 238,924 applica-
ions had already ben received, rep

conduct TO which he attributed his sue
cess.
Something very analogous to this,
it is believed, is going to be the effect
on the American Nation OF the war
Savings campaign. Not only are mil
lions CT individual citizens going to
begin to save. but this habit of eccno-
my aGd saving is going % be col
lective movement, movement not Of
individuals alone but CT the Nation.
The habit of saving now has a deep
er incentive than ordinary. We are
saving now not alone for selfish rea-
sons, we are saving now from patriot
ism, saving not alone for ourselves
but for our country, The combina-
ton of patriotism and thrift is, indeed,
Going to make the war savings cam
paign an epoch in cur national l.fa.
It is not only going to be thing of
tremendous ben:ft to millions OF citi-
zens, it is going to be a thing Of ire
mendous advantage 70 the Nation as
whole, and effect our national life.
It marks the beginning of a new era

THE THRIFT LESSON

the average individual is the lesson he
is getting from the war savings plans

ranged to make it possible for all
NlI9ql1 9QL lIed 9ABV o. 5Vdo9d
Bond has been made the means Of say
ing and an inducement for the citizen
and many people have interest in
this form Now comes the little
savings stamp. This reaches far
down in the line and puts the saving
habit within reach of every man. wo-
man and child
This latter method is one OF the
best the government has hit upon
and it is going to come more nearly
providing the money needed for the
war than the official can ask of the
people. The stamp only needs pub
licity. 1t is really the best saving
plan gotten out.
Secretary William G. McAdoo has
said the little war saving stamp marks
an epoch in our national life. That
it will and we are going to quit the
struggle with some fine lessons in
thrift.
Many successful business man
has said that the saving of his first
dollar was the most important single
act of his life; that it marked the be-
