WAR SAVINGS PLAN
FOR 1878 ADOPTED
Treasury Announces Pro-
gram Almost Identical With
That Followed This Year.

The program for sale OF war saw
ings stamps in 1919. announced today
by the Treasury. is almost identical
with that followed this year. as re-
iating to cost Of the stamps in vari-
Gus months. In January, the stamps
worth SIS face value will be sold for
SAP, and will increase 1 cent a month
until next December. They will not
mature until January 1. 1924. or one
year later than the stamps now on
sale.
Thrift Stamps to Be Sold.
Thrift stamps. costing % cents each.
will be sold throughout the year. They
will be identical in design and size
with the present thrift stamps. but
will be blue instead of green. The
war savings stamps, also blue. are con-
sderably smaller than the present issue.
New cards on which war savings
stamps are to be attached will be
issued and 1918 stamps should not
lie attached to old cards. If a war
savings certificate has been only par
tally filled with this years war saw
ings stamps IT will be entirely valid
md may be redeemed eventually at
Ike maturity value Of the stamps it
hearS.
War savings agents, the Treasury
hss announced. should exchange their
id stamps for those of the new
ssue between January I and 10. but
If this is neglected until after jan
nary 10 old stamps may be affixed
20 cards and redeemed at post offices.
Campaign to Begin January 1.
Tho new stamps will go on sale
January 1.
Indications now are that the sale OF
war savings stamps this year will be
about a billion dollars, as $9SO.O9O. 600
IN sales have been reported to date
and belated reports after January l
are expected to swell this consider
ably.
Washinston's allotment OF s7:5o0,000
was eighty seven per cent raised on
December last. and the local COM
,nittee is working diligently to raise
The remainder before December 81 In
order that the National Capital can
then point to a clean slate in all cam
paigns conducted during the war
period.
