The People Are Saving.

! II has been pointed out as evidence OF
how strongly the duty OF saving had
been impressed upon the English people
by the war savings campaign in that
country that in the year 1916, although
purchasing billions of dollars Of war
bonds, the small savings bank depostors
in England increased their deposits in
savings banks over $G0,000000, this in
face of the fact that the English have
been noted as a spending rather than as
saving people
Ii seems that similar process has
taken place in America. Two great Lib
ertv loans were floated in the year just
closed, and nearly S6,000000,006 of Lib
ertv loan bonds were purchased by the
people Yet instead OF being depleted
the savings banks deposits of the coun-
try have been increased. The president
of one of the large New York savings
banks is quoted as saying on Dec. 20,
1917:
''0ne of the most remarkable things
about the Liberty loan campaigns is the
small effect they have had ON the savings
banks accounts, which show an increase.
This we lay to the appeals made to the
American people TO purchase the bonds
out of their earnings, paying for them
from week to week or from month to
month The people appear to be doing
rs they have been urged purchasing the
bonds from current savings.

respect for international Justice and free

to scrutinize closely and consider careful

OF the principles declared by the Rus

u. S. Forces Must Be De-

Least Possible Delay
INCIDENT TO TRAINING

Speed and Coordination in
Shipbuilding Likewise Are
Primary Requisites

Washington, Jan. 3,--American fight

rope with the least possible delay Incl
dent to training and equipment" Colo
mel Houses mission to the allied coun-
tries has recommended to Secretary of
State Lansing.
Speed and systematic coordination in
shipbuildng are likewise primary reiuis-
ties, while unity of effort, military, naval
and economic between the United States
and the allies is essential according to
the other two prime recommendations.
The full text of these communications
follows:
"One: That the United States exert
all their influence to secure entire unity
of effort, military, naval and economic
between themselves and the countries
associated with them in the war.
1.-TWO: Inasmuch as the successful
termination of the war by the United
States and the allies can be greatly has
tened by the extension of the United
States shipping; that the government
and the people of the United States bend
every effort toward accomplishing this
result by systematic coordination of
resources of men and material.
Three: That the fighting forces of
the United States be dispatched to Eu
rope with the least delay possible in
cident to training and equipment
The recommendations mean that all
the allies will hereafter work together
nj unity, that the period of training and
equipment of American forces would
doubtless be shortened if this can be ae
with the shipping and other
resources at hand.
The recommendations for co ordination
in the shipping program emphasizes more
strongly than ever before the urgent APP /
peal of the allies for more ships. more
speed in building them and less pickering
md attention to details.

From the Trucks.

of bitter cold and intense suffering from
the general fuel shortage. New York

disorder began when several hundred
men, women and children, who had lined
up outside large coal yard at 10th
street and the East river, discovered sew
eral loaded trucks leaving the yard after
announcement had been made that there
was no coal for sale.
Some of those who had been waiting
patiently with pals, bags, small wagons
and baby carriages, at once began to
stone the Office windows. Others fol-
lowed the trucks, unlocked the rear
chutes and seized the coal that streamed
into the street. Police reserves were
called and succeeded in restoring order
when a representative of the coal com
pany announced that Goa would be sold
in small lots after certain hospitals had
been served
Early relief from the fuel shortage is
expected to result from an order issued

New York, Jan. "a former profcs
sional trap shooter, William II. Heer oil
Guthrie, Okla, is the winner of the anna
teur high average trophy of the Inter

During the season just closed, he shot

iieer won the official high average in
1910 and again in 1918. In 1910 his av-
erage was 9775 and in 1913 il was 97.30,
Trapshooting rules provide that man
who is professional and desires TO
again become an amateur, must retire
from competition for three years. that is,
provided that his average was better
than 30 per cent. Heer retired from com

turned in 1917 as an amateur and won
the highest average.
The professional high man is Lester
German of Aberdeen, Md, who some
twenty.odd years ago pitched the Mem

ship and afterward pitched for the New
York Nationals before entering the trap
game as professional.
