pletely repulsed by artillery fire and

BUY ESSENTIALS
ONLY WILSON
PRESIDENT APPEALS TO AMERl
CANS TO SAVE MATERlLs
FOR WAR PURPOSES.
WAR IS ONE OF NATIONS
All Of the 100000 American People
Must Be Economically and In
dustriaIIy Adjusted to War
Conditions.

Westinghouse save materials and
labor for necessary war purposes,
President Wilson has appealed to
Americans ito buy only those things
which are essential to the individual
health and efficiency" and to volun-
teer on or before June rs, national
thrift day, to invest systematically in
war savings and thrift stamps or 9th
er government securities.
This war is one of nations-not Of
armies" said the president, "and all
of our 1OO,OOO,OOO people must be &C.
onomically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions If this nation is to
play its full part in the conflict The
problems before us is not primarily
financial problem, but rather prob
lem of increased production Of war
essentials and the saving OF the mate
rails and the labor necessary for the
support and equipment of our army
and navy. Thoughtless expenditure of
money for non-essentials uses up the
labor of men, the products of the
farms, mines and factories, and over
burdens transportation, all Of which
must be used to the utmost and at
their best for war purposes.
Results Demand Unity.
THE great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the participa-
ton Of every member Of the nation,
young and old, in national concerted
thrift movement therefore urge that
our people everywhere pledge them
selves as suggested by the secretary
Of the treasury, to the practice OF
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
In all fields necessary to- the winning
cf the war; to conserve for food ana
fuel and useful materials Of every
kind; to devote their labor only to
the most necessary tasks, and to buy
only those things which are essential
to individual health and efficiency,
and that the people, as evidence Of
their loyalty, invest all that they can
save in Liberty bonds and war saw
ings stamps.
1.-THE securities issued by the treas
ury department are so many of them
within the reach Of everyone that the
door OF opportunity In this matter is
wide open to all Of US. To practice
thrift in peace times Is virtue and
brings great benefit to the individual
at ell times: with the desperate need
of the civilized world today for mate
rails and labor with which to end the
war, the practice OF individual thrift
Is a patriotic duty and necessity.
Il appeal to all who now own either |
Liberty bonds or war savings stamps |
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not |
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
Of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
power of his money to the
United States government.
Il earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child to pledge themselves
On or before the 28th Of June to save
and to buy as regularly as
possible the securities Of the govern
nent; and to do this as far as posi-

purpose in time OF peace.
On the other hand. there is and be-
fore the war there was great need
of a considerable body of troops to
be under the control of the federal

we'll be thought that military train,

in federal service would not be
part of such body.
The logical conclusion. then, APP
pears to be for Congress to provide
by suitable legislation for the crea-
ton of federal guard. into which
the present guardsmen will naturally
become incorporated, thereby pre-
serving their organization, which has
proved it's value, and at the same
time forming o nucleus about which

the tradition Of free and inde-
pendent citizen soldiery. but for the

suffer from the change are the drafteea
who will lose the benefit Of the training

Great as the relief will be to the
Quartermaster general or the pur-
