Government Asks Fulfill
 ment of W. s. s. Pledges

The following telegram has just been received at State War Savings Headquarters:
 Wash, D. C., Dec. B. I most earnestly urge upon you that your organization make ev- cry possible effort to the end that pledges for the purchase of War Savings Stamps be fulfilled before the close of the year. The Governments monetary require ments were never greater or more pressing than they are to- day. Expenditures for Novem- Der were greater than in any similar period. These expendi- lures growing out of the war must be met by borrowing from the people and their magnifi- cent response heretofore to the governments r equire m ents make me confident that they will not. fail to continue their SUD- port to the end that all payments resulting from war necessities will be promptly met. Much re-
 mains to be done. Our brave troops must be maintained and paid until their work is fully ac- complished and they are return ed to their homes. This is not a time to relax our efforts and the treasury department is mak- ing plans for larger and even more important work during the coming year. Please make every effort to bring this statement before the people in your dis ts3ct anll to urge upon them the continued holding of their war savings certificates.

Jeff Bramfford, turned out to be a
typical Russian in spite Of his Eng
lish name. His father, he said, was
English, but he had lived many years
in Russia, first as an engineer in an
English owned munitions factory in
Petrograd, and later in Riga. Jeffs
mother was a Russian.
The strange adventures of this
young man began when he was
twenty-one years old, g. date which
corresponds with the outbreak Of the
world war. Jeff was counted as a
Russian citizen and was forced to
join the army. He saw service in the
tragic campaign which ended in the
Masurian Lakes catastrophe. He cs-
capped drowning in the swamps and
also lived through the disastrous re-
treat across East Prussia.
The Russians, he told men, fought
well, their cavalry 100000 strong,
breaking the German line and TAX
ing many prisoners. But the sup
porting artillery failed them; never
OF the men charging that their high
err officers had sold them out to the
Germans. If this was so, then the
Germans behaved toward their
friends with their customary treach-
cry. At one halt these officers took
possession Of a German country
house, obligingly left open and well
furnished. About as soon as they
were installed, the house blew up
and killed every man in it. The
place had been mined by the Ger
mans.
Escapes During Raid.
In the Russian retreat, Jeff was
taken prisoner, and with many 9TH
ers was sent first to Germany, where
he was forced to slave at mental Ia
Dor. Later he was sent to Belgium.
