Adoo says that the absurdity Of these
statements is manifest, but in order
to allay the fears of few who might
be alarmed by such reports, he re-
peats officially that these rumors are
wholly baseless.
There is but one thing that will
in the least put in danger of confis-
cation the savings of the American
people, whether deposited in savings
banks or other banks or invested in
Liberty Bonds or any other invest
ments, and that one thing is a Ger
man victory. 1t is not the Ameri-
can Government that our people
should fear, but the German Gov
eminent, and with the American SOL
diers fighting as they are in France
and the American people supporting
their Government as they are in
America, the American people, their
liberty, their rights, and their saw
ings are safe.
The United States instead of con-
fiscating or endangering the savings
and other property of its people is
defending them and theirs with all
the irresistible might of this invinci-
BILE Republic.

HUNS HAVING TROUBLE
in THE HOME LAMB

AMSTERDAM, Holland. Sept. IL.
Signs are accommodating that Ger
many is in state of frenzied panic
All those in the empire who speak
with authority admit that the coun-
try is in an almost incredible state
of childish fear The emperor in a,
telegram to the mayor of Dresden
openly recommends that the forces
of Germany should be pulled to-
gether to defend the fatherland's
sacred soil
The crown princes recent decla-
ration to a Hungarian newspaper
correspondent that a military vic
tory was impossible and that he was
personally amazed at the fact that
Germany was still on her feet has
created painful impression thru
out Germany. Now comes the proc
lamation from the commanding gen.
eral in Berlin, Won Lisingen, threat
ening with one year in prison all whs
circulate false reports from the front.
German travellers and deserters
come daily to this country, telling
sOmber stories of German depres-
sion. In reality the German war
morale is much worse than the mill
tdry SITUATION WOulu warrant. some
thing must have happened in Ger
many, which so far is not yet known,
TO explain the sudden collapse of
German pride.
Hindenburg seems to be extraor-.
dinarily angry at what he calls the
foul methods of the enemy propa-
ganda, but he forgets to say a word
about the countless defeats suffered
by his armies in tlt last six weeks.
Speaking of the military situation,
he contents himself by declaring:
I'VE have enforced peace in the east
and we are strong enough to do the
same in the west, in spite of the
Americans"
The Cologne Gazette publishes an
article in which it admits the fail
ure of submarine warfare and says
that only a miracle can save Ger
many. This is Germanys morale in
the sixth week of the allied offensive
The German casualties in this Of
fensive have been more terrible than
in any other period of the war.

WAR SAVINGS SOCIETIES
NEEDED IN BUSINESS

The. organization of War Savings
Societies should by no means be lin
tied to the schools of the state. The
remarkable effect they are having
there in teaching thrift and patriot
ism will be noticed. l am sure, in
every church. business house, fac
tory, lodge or other institution in
which they are organized.
Children are not as much in need
of patriotic teaching as are their
elders. All of us, however, need to
feel more and appreciate more just
what it means to us to be able to live
in and enjoy country as wonderful
as the United States. We have
taken our prosperity too much as a
matter of course. This war, if it
does nothing else, will be worth the
cost if it awakens in US a proper ap-
probation of our America.
War Savings Societies are calcu-
lated to make us better Americans.
In providing a systematic means for
the purchase of War Savings
Stamps, they show us as nothing else
can do, the advantages of practicing
thrift and demonstrate for the first
time to many of us the fact that the

lowly quarter is worth saving.
War Savings Societies in places of
business will; since the men who
saves is a better workman, improve
the efficiency of employees, bring
about a closer spirit of cooperation
and promote friendlier relations be-
tween employer and employee. In
inspiring love of country they will
inspire better citizenship. They will
give each member the feeling that
he is working in partnership with
the government.
The government regards the War
Savings Society as vital TO the sue
cessful prosecution of the war. Defi-
mite work of patriotic nature is
given the societies 10 do direct from
Washington. This has 10 do not only
with the War Savings campaign. but
with the Liberty Loan and with fuel
and food conservation. The man
who has the interest of his country
and the winning of the war at heart
will find in the War Savings Society
an excellent means TO serve one and
bring about the other.

With the growing requirements of
the government for telephone equip
ment for the fighting forces abroad

phone facilities are taxed to their
utmost. The telephone people say
that to eliminate calls not relating
to the giving of telephone service

THE TIME OF DAY
NOT TO BE GIVEN

In line with the policy Oh the gov
eminent to conserve labor and ma
terials for war needs, the former
practice Of the telephone company of
giving the time of day was discon-
tinued Sept. l.
When telephone subscriber
asks: what is the time, please?"
it takes as much time on the part
of the operator and an equal use of
telephone equipment as would be re-
CURED to complete an ordinary tele-
phone call. In Audubon more than
Is requests for the time are made
daily over the telephone, so when
this practice is discontinued Is more
important telephone calls can be
handled with the same operating
force and same equipment.
The telephone operators have also
been instructed to courteously de-
cline to give information regarding
other matters not directly relating to
the furnishing of telephone service.
One quite common practice which
has been eliminated is the calling of
people in the morning. Requests
for this service have been made in
large numbers than most people real

Well. | suppose you will wonder
where this is. l am out convalesc-
ing for a week. English homes in
towns around Liverpool take Amer

guests for a week after they get out
OF the hospital and entertain them.
This is Southport, or rather a suburb
of Southport, Birkdale. 1t GER
tainly is pretty place and all kinds
OF places Of amusement.
We get into all OF the shows free

good ones. They treat us grand.
You cannot imagine what all they do
for us. 1t is about the first really
good time l have had since ] have
been in the army. The name of the
people where am staying is Mossley.
They are fine people and have fine
big house and a beautiful garden
and flower beds. They have one of
the most beautiful places / ever saw.
They certainly know how to grow
flowers, lawns and shrubery here
The whole city, which is about So
900, is covered with flowers and all
the streets are lined with large trees,
even the busiest ones. They have
one street which is said to be the
most beautiful in England, which is
going some. Lord street is its name.
II is right down on the corner from
this place.
Along the business district, which
is mostly on this street, the business
houses are all back about 0 or 60
yard from the street, and all of that
space is planted with flower beds and
grass, and they grow a Kind OF
hedge there to separate it from the
walk. The walk is lined all along
the business section for eight blocks
or more with benches so people can
sit down and rest, and the Royal
Band plays in this lawn every morn
ing, afternoon and night Everyone
has their tea in the middle of the
forenoon and they always have a
piece of cake or a sandwich and some
ginger ale or milk just before they
go to bed.
The people where | am staying
have a son, their only son, in the
British army. He was wounded and
he is now an instructor of trench

Winning the 220 by a foot, the

there is never any dope on any Idaho

meet or a bu~tter-judging contest.
Contrary to the general suppose
