 READ INTO COURT FOR MORE THRIFT
By Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, May 29.-To save materials and labor for necessary war purposes President Wilson today ap- pealed to Americans ito buy only those things which are essential to the individual health and efficiency" and to volunteer on or before June 2S, National Thrift Day, to invest sys- tematically in war savings and thrift stamps, or other government securi- ties.
 This war is one of nations-not one of armies" the president said, "and all of our 100,000,000 people must be econ- omically and industrially adjusted to war conditions if this nation is to play it's full part in the conflict. The prob lem before us is net primarily a finan- cial problem but rather a problem of increased production of war essentials and the saving of the materials 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 farm, mines and factories and overburdens trans portation, all of which must be used to the utmost and at their best for war purposes.
 Everyone Must Al sist
 ''The great participation can be Ob- tained only by the participation of every member of the nation. young and old. in a national concerted thrift movement. I therefore urge that our people everywhere pledge themselves 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 of the war; to conserve food and 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 they can save in Liberty bonds, and war savings stamps.
 The securities isued by the treas ury department are so many of them within the reach of every one 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 all times: with the desperate need of the civilized world today for mate rials and labor with which to end the war, the practice of individual thrift is a patriotic duty and a necessity. Appeals to Nation
 q apeal 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 ex,ent of their means. The man who buys government securities transfers the purchasing power of his money to the United States government until after this war and to that same degree does not buy in competition with the gov ernment
 q earnestly appeal to every man. woman and child to pledge themselves on or before the 2Sth of June to save constantly and to buy as regularly as possible the securities Of the govern ment: and to do this as far as pos sible through membership in war say | ings societies. The 2Sth of June ends this special period of enlistment in the great volunteer army of production and saving here at home. May there | be none unenlisted on that day
