OFFICIAL TELEGRAM
Washington, ID. c.
December SO, 1918.
Governor,
Federal Reserve Bank,
Richmond, Va.
THE Secretary has
to-day sent the following tele.
gram to all State Directors OF
War Savings.
II most earnestly urge upon
you that your organization make
every possible effort to the enc
that pledges for the purchase OF
War Savings Stamps be fulfilled
before the close of the year.
The governments monetary re.
quirements were never greater
nor more pressing than they are
to-day. Expenditures for Nov.
ember were greater than in any
similar period. These expendi-
lures growing out of war must
he met by borrowing from the
people, and their magnificent re-
sponse heretofore to the govern
ment's requirments makes me
confident that they will not fail
to continue their support to the
end that all payments resulting
from war necessities will be
promptly met. Much remains to
be done; our brave troops must
be maintained and paid until
their work is fully accomplished
and they are returned to their
homes. This is not a time for
us to relax our efforts, and the
Treasury Department is making
plans for larger and even more
important work during the COM
ing year. Please make every ef-
fort to bring this statement be-
fore the people in your district
and to urge upon them continued
holding of their War Savings Ger
tificates, the fulfilIment of their
pledges, and additional purchas-
es as their means permit.
(Signed)" FRANKLIN"

North Cardinals war record is
one hundred per cent except in
the sale of War Savings Stamps.
The small investors have done
well but cannot 90 over the top,
Business interests must now
come to the rescue and complete
the work. Each person from
partnership, Bank and corpor-
alton doing business in the state
must now do so. Today the eX-
erntive committe has apportion-
cd North Cardinals deficit to the
business interests of the state On
a basis of seven per cent of its
minimum commercial rating.
This is a Just apportionment and
should be applied indiscriminate-
ly. Proprietors, officers and di-
rectors of each business can take
one thousand face value for him
self and one thousand for each
family number. Christmas pres
ents, bonuses and dividends can
be paid in stamps. Loans can
be made to friends and employees
to cover full amount. In is alb
soIutely necessary that action be
taken Immediately, this state
must purchase its quota.

delegates to the great peace confer

til the place and date Of meeting have

Discussion in well-informed quarters
today OF the probable personnel OF the
delegation centered upon four men.
They are:

to head the mission: Col. e. NJ. House.
now in France attending the interallicd
council as the personal representative
OF the president; Elihu Root and Louis

Reports by some commanding officers

These, men are automatically charged
with "being absent without leave" an
oTense slightly less heinous than de-
