Through the enective blockade OF
Germany, Germany has been compel
led to pay for the war, to a great ex-
tent, through current abstinence. AT
least she has been prevented from i'm
porting commodities to any important
extent. On the other hand, Germany
has been compelled to use up her ac-
Ncumulated supplies and equipment.
Even after using what she has stolen
from Belgium, Poland and other in
vaded countries, Germany will be
found to have required copper from
her roofs and cutters; her machin-
cry and equipment will be worn out
and run down and she must, when the
war is over, replenish exhausted capt.
tai before she can be properly prepar-
ed to turn out any considerable vol
ume of current production.
The moral which the Treasury De-
partment points out as a result of the
gasless Sunday is that it is important
in our conduct of the~war to pay as
we go as far as possible by abstin-
ence from current consumption ami
that abstinence in itself contributes to
the winning of the war only as to that
degree with which the money saved
is made available to the Government
by investment in War Savings Stamps
or Liberty Bends.

WILL RAISE MORE MONEY
This District Promises to Take Bigger
Share Of Fourth Loan-HoW
Plans Are Made.

The Philadelphia district is planning
to raise $500,O00,O00 in the Fourth
Liberty Loan, which is double the
quota of the third loan. The city's
share of the district quota will be
$25O,OO0,00O, figured on this basis, or
as much as the whole district aimed
at in the last loan.
In round figures, this total will give
Eastern Pennsylvania, outside OF
Philadelphia, a quota of $20O,000,000;
New Jersey, South of Trenton, $780,
000,0 900, and the entire state-Of Dela-
ware, 1 100000. These four sec
tons compose the Third Federal Re
serve District. The quotas are based
on the bank of each sec
ton, just as that of the whole district
is based on it's banking
The doubling of the amounts to be
raised means doubling the RESPONSE
bility of each individual, the Liberty
Loan officials point out. This in turn
means doubling the efforts of the
workers and is an intensificatiOn of
the campaign in every respect. With
each successive loan the organization
of the central committee in Philadel-
phia, of the county committees, of the
town committees, and Of the smaller
subdivisions has been made more COM
plete. The whole has been welded in
to a powerful selling organization,
probably the most powerful agency OF
its kind in the world.
J. H. Burton, special agent of the
Treasury Department, who has been
travelling through the entire country in
interest of the honor roll and honor
flag system, says that this district has
the most perfectly organized commit
tee of the twelve districts.
81 have been in every large city of
the country working with the Liberty
Loan committees. 1 have had a chance
to observe them in a way that no
one else has," he said. 81 can say
from this knowledge that the district
with it's center in Philadelphia sur
passes all of them in its organization
for the Liberty Loan drives"

WHAT YOU SAVE

When the American people locked
up their automobiles for another gas
less Sunday, they saved enough money
to provide General Pershing's Army
with 5000 machine guns, costing $3.50
each.
They saved enough money to buy
food for the American EXpeditionary
Forces in Europe for two whole days.
They saved enough money to provide
General Pershing's army with $780,
600 hand grenades.
They saved enough money to pay
for 1874 completely equipped rifles
which the American infantryman car
ries when he goes into conflict.
These figures were revealed In a
Treasury statement, appealing to the
American public to turn it's savings
from abstinence into War Savings
Stamps or set them aside for invest
ment in Liberty Bonds. The Treas
ury statement reminded the public
that these savings which are being
eminent in its prosecution of the war
unless they are made available for its
use.
The Fuel Administration reported
that the saving of gasoline on just
one gasless Sunday amounted to five
million gallons which, valued at %
cents a gallon, meant a saving to
American pocketbooks of $1,250,000.
In transportation alone this meant a
saving of 625 tank cars for an i've
age haul of two hundred miles.
The rubber saved by giving tires
a days rest would be sufficient to
equip $500 motor trucks for the Amer
lean Army with tires capable of run
ming five thousand miles.
The Treasury reminder called at
tention to the fact that labor and ma
terial essential to the conduct of the
sources:

Sd, obtained by making inroads on
accumulated supplies or equipment.
To what extent with which, by saw
ing, can we carry on the war by means
of current abstinence, we shall be
BETTER off when the wal is over.
Whatever we import we must ulti-
mately pay for through some form of
exports, which will mean that we must
later deny ourselves the things that
we fail now to deny ourselves. To
the extent to which we draw on accu-
mulated supplies or equipment, we are
putting ourselves in a worse condition
to carry on production when the war
is over. and competition is again keen.

billions, of capital that was needed for
the prosecution of the war.
To induce the manufacturers to
make the changes and introduce the
reforms recommended time has, of
course, been required, but as their adj
vantages became apparent the resist
ance has diminished, and in many diff
ferent lines of trade the sim%pliications
that have already been effected will
save an enormous amount of labor and
material, which means, in the last
analysis, a more rapid creation of
: wealth. Thus about two thousand diff
ferent sizes and types of plows and
tillage implements have been elimin-
ated and a grea. reduction in the va
riety of other agricultural implements
hitherto manufactured has been eff
fected. The sizes and types of auto
mobile tires produced have already
been reduced from 2S7 to SO, and it
is expected that within two years only
nine standard descriptions will be
manufactured.
There were formerly SIX Hundred
sizes and types of metal bedsteads
made. Now only thirty are produced,
and the metal tubing used in their
manufacture has been standardized so
that it's cost will be substantially re-
duced.

BY THEODORE n. PRICE,
in The Outlook.

AS we dfe culeTluS upUH Tic Cduu
paign for the sale of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan, it is altogether appropri-
ate that we should take account of
what two years of war will have cost
us and determine, if we can, In how
far and how speedily our expenditures
can be recovered under peace condi-
lions when they shall have been estab-
lished.
American pride In the widely adver-
tised wealth of the country has lot
only led us to be lavish in spending,
but 1t has induced more or less exag-
geratiOn in the current estimates of
the wars cost. Popular feeling is
expressed by the remark, Hang the
expense let us lick the Huns" and
many people, having come to believe
that victory was largely a matter of
money, have felt a certain satisfaction
In reading of the unnumbered billions
that are being disbursed.
To a certain extent the growth of
this feeling has been encouraged by
the newspapers, until the editors as
well as the public have become care
less of the facts. Thus in the New
York Times Of July %, under the
headline american War Bill Now
Fifty Billion" there was published a
Washington despatch dated July %,
from which the following is a quota
ton:
I'm the first year the expenditure
amounted to $1S,879,177,012 while
Congress has authorized for the Sec
ond year ending June 80, 1919, appro-
priations amounting to approximately
$780, 900, 00O, 1000"
This statement and others like it
have been widely printed, and the re-
action of the public mind seems to
indicate that most people are rather
well pleased with the wealth and mu-
nificence that are implied.
It would nevertheless be a very
serious matter if we were dissipating
our National wealth at the rate nam
ed. The fact is we are not spending
any such sum for war, and much OF
what we are spending is being invest
ed in the interest-bearing obligations
of our allies, which are presumably
good, and in ships, shipyards, termin-
ais, warehouses, railways, and other
things that will be valuable and pro-
ductive long after peace is declared.
The amounts that are being spent
co~nstructively or invested in the in
terest-bearing debt of other nations
cannot be accurately ascertained at
present, but the total is large and
may be Appropriated. We know, for
instance, that Congress has authorized
the Secretary of the Treasury to loan
$10,000,000,0 900 to our Allies, and that
the credits already placed at their
disposal aggregate about $1,000, 000,-
600.
These loans all bear interest at a
rate one-half per cent IN excess of
what u Government is paying.
A statement obtained from the Ship
ping Board indicates that the Govern
ment will own the following property
as of August /, 1919:
Steel ships delivered,
5,3SS,635 tons ....... LOTT, 727, 900

that the ducks season would open in
Nevada on October 1st, and on anoth-
er page of this paper will be found
an article taken from the Reno
Gazette wherein George l. James,
federal game warden for the district
of Nevada, states that the season for
hunting ducks will open September
18th. In Government bulletin
of August 2S, there is published a
lengthy article dealing with the fed
eral game law. The bulletin plainly
states that the season for hunting
Wild ducks opens in Nevada and other
western states listed, on September
10th.
There can be no misunderstanding
now as to the date of the open season
for killing wild ducks and hunters

by the federal law. will make no mis-
take in participating in the opening
day on September 10th.
