Chitf Hun Surgeon Gives Startling
Figtxes to Prove Decadence Of the
GermaA Arms Because of Insuffi-

man Division Ordered to Front.
(By Associated Press)

New York, May 24.-The Berliner
Tageblatt has quoted Surgeon General
Schulze as telling the Reinchstag that
more than 100000 wounded and sick
meen have been returned from the
fighting front. Six hundred and nine
ty-two thousand have been discharged
from the German army as unfit for
further service. The sickness in the
army is principally due to digestive
disorders, presumably because of the
quantity and quality Of the food.
A German division ordered from
Dvinsk, Russia, to the western front
refused to proceed. Fifty were exc
cuted and thousand imprisoned, ac-
cording to Russian wireless dispatch.
Other German troops in the vicinity
held demonstration in support of
the division.

SAVINGS STAMP
PLEDGE DAY NEAR

county CHAIRMAN hlcnmOnO ana
State Director G.. A. Davidson Call
Upon the People of Imperial Val
ley to Do Their Bit for War Saw
2 ings Stamps-County Behind Quota
Preparations are under way for the
celebration of pledge Day May 81, in
a manner befitting the pride and
prestige of Imperial Valley. Nothing
is being overlooked by those in charge
to make this a showing that will give
tbs county a high place in the opin-
ion of the nation.
Pledge Day means that, regardless
of what may be done in the way of
purchasing War Savings stamps be-
tween now and May 81, on that day
there must be one grand; general
roundup and every dollar then left
unsubscribed of the quota for this
county must be pledged by the citizens
to be paid into the government funds,
month by month, during the balance
of the year.
The nature of the War Savings
Stamp needs no explanation. These
stamps are "baby bonds in every
sense of the term. They bear inter-
est at per scent for five years. In
other words, the War Savings Stamp
purchased today at $4.16 will be re-
deemed by the government at $500
in January, 1923. 1t is not case
of "give,", but of "lend' at profit,
and no better opportunity ever was
presented to found a substantial
windfall' for the year 1923. This can
be made available for self, wife,
.mother, sister or any other 'bene-
ficary desired. Many are making it
an endowment for their children, af-
fording a stimulus to the saving hab-
it that may mean the eventual fortune
of the offspring so endowed.
That was the main object of the
government in providing that the
people themselves should raise $2,-
OO,O00,00O entirely by their own eff
forts, to be applied to the service
of the nation in the great war for
humanity. To inspirte the right
spirit of thrift and economy and pro-
mote the saving habit is one of the
objects. That Southern California
