DO YOUR BIT.
By a Bond if YCu Can; Bay a Stamp
if You Can't; But Buy
Something.

Phlladelphla, April lO.---Ihe
good effect which it was felt the
Liberty Loan Drive would exert
upon the War Savings Stamps
campaign is already beginning to
be felt. On the first two days OF
the drive the receipts from the
sale of stamps at the Philadelphia
post office exceeded any similar
period recently. The organiza-
ton of War Savings Societies is
going on apace and increased in
terest is shown as a result of the
activities or the loan boomers.
To date 4074 societies in the
Eastern district of Pennsylvania
have received charters from the
Treasury Department at Wash
ington, with a membership in
excess of $50, 900. Many more
societies have been formed but
they have not applied for char
rers. In a few days figures will
be announced of the activities Of
these societies and some surpris.
ing results are promised.
Buy a bond if you can; buy a
stamp if you can't" That SEN
timent sums up the attitude of
the National and State War Saw
ings Committees toward the
Third Liberty Loan. In other
words, while the War Savings
Committee is to offer every en-
couragement to the sale of Liber-
ty Bonds, and is to direct much
of its machinery to promoting
the loan during the period Of flo
tation, it is anxious that its own
campaign shall not be lost sight
of in that time. Most particular
ly it urges that the patriotic i'm
pulse may not be wasted in those
who are moved to buy bonds but
find themselves financially unable
to do so.
Without discouraging the buy
ing of bonds the savings COM
mittee is aware that there are
some who cannot invest in them,
and it does not believe there is a
man, woman or child in the Uni
ted States who cannot buy at
least one War Savings or Thrift
Stamp. Moreover, during the
loan campaign when all the pub
licity machines of the country will
be turned to stimulating patriotic
response to the Governments
need for money to carry on the
war, the committee believes it
only proper that there shall be a
channel into which patriotic emo.
ton may be diverted in the cases
of those whose impulse to pos.
sess Government bonds is phys
ically incapable of satisfaction.

themselves manage their fleets and are
encouraged to make them as effectiYs
as possible by the distribution Of
bonuses and the replacing Of ships that
are sunk.
Ships cannot now be built In France
The Minister of Maritime Transport
and Merchant Marine holds that 10
bring materials from the United States
or England would handicap French
shipbuilders because OF the cost OF
materials and transportation. This
would mean that French exporters
would have to pay higher freight rates
to theowners after the ships were in the
water. This would place not only en-
porters but all French industry under
a handicap in the competition for after
war markets. 1t is proposed, there-
fore, that the state shall replace de-,
stroyed ships, as it can buy materials
more cheaply, and therefore viii be
able to contract for new ships on a
basis Of insuring reasonable rates to
the trader. The government contracts
to replace ships in this manner within
three years after the war, these ships
becoming the absolute property Of
those from whom their equivalents
have been requisltioned.
On the other hand, the Ministry pro-
poses to build a state-owned fleet for
the colonies, which will be managed by
ship owners, the state sharing in the
profits and deficits. There viii be no
more subsidies for ships in which tho
government has no interests. With
these plans go proposed harbor inn
proyement France has today no har-
Dor where ships of the largest types
can dock. The government plans fur
ther to coordinate railroads and ship
ping lines, especially across the Ned
iterranean to Alglers and Tunis.
While France cannot avoid making
extensive purchases of building mate
rlals and machinery abroad, she plans

"War is great destroyer Of theor-

America may well look to France
for example and inspiration in prepar-
ing to develop her foreign trade after
the war. In all history there is no
people whose rising to meet a seeming
1y overwhelming assault upon every
thing they consider worth while has
had such power over the emotions Of
mankind. There has been a complete
surrender of the nation as a whole to
the idea that every available agency
should be utilized for the single pur-
pose of winning the war. France has
sustained every shock of war. Some
of the fairest portions of her territory
have been overrun, and others are USE
less except for military operations.
Now, with Characteristic adjustable
ty. the French are Transforming emer-
gency into opportunity. In all their
preparations for reconstruction when
peace comes they are applying the
principles that have been at the foun-
dation Of their efficiency in the war.
They propose to keep mobilized for a
considerable period after the war is
over that spirit of unity, cooperation
and concentration In enterprise that
has kept them from vassalage since
the war began.
France sees clearly the double ma
ture Of her problem. She must re-
store the country itself and must re-
establish its relationship with other
countries. In doing both she looks to
the United States for help. She pro-
poses to purchase In this country vast
supplies of raw material, building sup.
plies and machinery, which she cannot
get from her colonies or from other
nations engaged, like herself, in the
work of rehabilitation She proposes
to pay for these things and to meet
the debts she now owes by selling to
this country not only an increased
quantity of those things in the manu-
facture of which she excels, but also
