Cardinal Gibbons Urges Public
to Acquire Habit of Thrift

Cardinal Gibbons has issued a stirring appeal to the citizens
of America in the support of Thrift propaganda and War Savings
plan. The appeal was written in response to Robert Grain, War
Savings Director of Maryland, aad was first published in the
Baltimore Sun.
The appeal is as follows:
To Ny eIow-Counuymen
open for practically every man, woman and child by the sale of war
savings stamps. This is the most impressive thing about the move
ment which is being undertaken by the National War Savings COM
mittee. There can be few people whose circumstances will not
permit them to buy at intervals the ascent thrift stamp, and with
each purchase gain step by step possession of the war savings
stamp, for each one of which the credit and resources OF the United
States are pledged to return IS for what now costs S412.
Such a return being produced by the process of compound in
terest carries the lesson of thrift in a practical and convincing way.
l earnestly commend to young and old, and more particularly to
parents, this simple and easy method of acquiring the habit OF thrift
Many sorrows are avoided and ruch happiness is to be gained by
of character it brings profitable acquaintance with self-denial and
sef-reliance. 1t is a valuable aid to good citizenship and a blessing
that once properly grounded is a faithful companion through lite.
We have reached a time in our national life when no loyal
citizen of this country can afford to spend a dollar for wasteful
Injuries. Such an expenditure resolves itself into a disloyal act.
Welcome indeed, therefore, is the opportunity offered through
the sale of these war savings stamps to promote the cultivation of
thrift and at the same time to serve ones country by lending to 1t
in such small sums the price of the first step-the 25-cent thrift
stamp.
Such is not only a privilege, but it is the clear duty of every
American citizen, young and old. / urge upon our clergy and our
schools to aid in every way in promoting thrift through the purchase
of war savings stamps.
For the help it gives to our countrys cause, for the good it
will do those who take such steps, may this movement carry is
patriotic and practical mission to every nook and corner of the
nation.

Why THRIFT STAMPS ARE
NOT REDEEMABLE In CASH

Festus J.. Wade, director War Saw
ings Committee for Missouri, has fire.
quently been asked, since the opening
Of the thrift campaign, why the Thrift
Stamps were not redeemable in cash
and why they did not bear interest.
"The Thrift Stamps are not made
redeemable in cash." said Mr.. Wade,
"and are not interest-bearing for the
reason that the Thrift Stamps are sim
ply intended as a convenient method
for the small wage-earner and person
OF limited means to- accumulate
enough to purchase War Savings
Stamps. which bear interest and are
%redeemable in cash.
The housewife, boy OF girl or anyone
else may buy a 25.cent Thrift Stamp
each week until his Thrift Card is
full, and then with ~ cents additional
purchase a War Savings Stamp, which
is redeemable in cash and bears in
terest at the rate Of 4 per cent If held
until maturity, January, 1928, or II
through necessity the holder finds that
he must convert it into cash before
maturity 1t bears interest at the rate
of 3 per cent per annum.
In addition. 10 provide for the re-
demption OF these Thrift Stamps would
involve such an amount OF detail ac-
counting. labor and expense as to I'M
pair the practicabillty of their use.

can be no means of recovery
unless Russia not only maks a
separate peace but establishes a
condition Of political and econo-
mic stability which would per-
nit the expectation of large
quantities of food into Germany.
The possibility is more than re-
mote.
The German u boat campaign
has inflicted great losses upon
Allied and neutral shipping. 1t
has forced Great Britain and the
United States to bend their en-
ergies to the construction of new
vessels to replace the wastage,
and the danger is not yet over,
in spite of the increased effec-
tiveness of the anti-submarine
campaign, for which the Amer
lean Navy deserves a great mea-
sure of credit. But regardless of
the total tonnage sunk, the ex-
perience of a year has proved
that the U boat cannot win the
war for Germany. 1t is incon-
ceivable that they can do as well
in the future as they have done
in the past and maintain the av-
erage for 1917.
Frightfulness in its mad under
taking to conquer the world has
failed on the sea as it failed on
land. The world is still uncon-
quered and autocracy still faces
a democracy that is resolute and
undaunted.-N. Y. World.

This preparation has been in use

be taken not to contract a second
