Boy Scouts Are Called
to Help in Fourth Loan
President Wilson has written q


President Wilson has written a
personal letter to the Boy Scouts,
! telling how he, and all the ma
! tional officials, are depending on
the Scouts to help make the Fourth
Liberty Loan great success, In
the three former campaigns, one
! subscription out of every twenty
three which were brought in, had
been secured by boy scouts.
The letter to the president of the
Boy Scouts, Colin H. Livingston,
| follows:
My Dear Mr.. Livingston:
The active service of every scout
and official enrolled as member
of the Boy Scouts of America is
depended upon to help make the
Fourth Liberty Loan success.
The fact that scouts secured
1,322,64 subscriptions, representing
5000, 1890 in the previous COM
paigns is convincing testimonial
to the value of organized boyhood
for the kind of patriotic boyhood
that is worth while. am informed
the Boy Schouts rendered other
valuable service throughout the
country to the local Liberty Loan
F.; Committees.
l beg every member of the Boy
, Scouts of America to realize that
the service rendered by the boys
has been greatly appreciated by the
! whole nation and that not only are
the officials of the treasury and of
various other Liberty Loan COM
mittees are looking to them for eff
! fective work in the fourth CAM
paign, but that the whole country,
which is already proud of them,
expects it. There is no better way
! in which they can show their de-
/ sire to help win the war.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
| WOODROW WILSON.

HySterical Economy
And Its Effects

New York, Jan. 12.-That more
harm than good will result from the
general practices off'hysterical econ.
omy" is the opinion of s. w. Straus,
President of the American Society for
Thrift, who voiced this warning in q
statement made public today. "The
tendency on the part of many OF our
citizens, Mr.. Straus said, ito prac.
tice indiscriminate economy at this
time is regrettable because of the
danger of injustice to legitimate bus.
mess enterprises, without any bene-
fit therefrom to our government In
winning the war. Furthermore, it'is
regrettable because Of the possibility
of fostering a popular misundertand-
ing of the true meaning of thrift
"This condition, if it were to con-
tinue, would tend to discount the val
liable lessons in the sensible prac-
tices of thrift which we as individuals
and as a nation must learn from the
war.
1--WE must bear in mind that money
is just as essential in winning the
war as food, ammunition and guns.
Any condition, therefore, which tends
to halt business, transacted along
conservative lines, and stop the flow
of money through the customary
channels, saps our gnancial power
Money, lying dormant, is cold met
al-nothing more. Money is merely
a symbol of wealth. 1t has no value
whatever excepting when in circula'
tion or when used as the basis OF
credit Real wealth is only that
which money can buy.
1--WE must differentiate between the
elimination of waste and the with
holding of money from legitimate
business. We must remember tna1
what is one mans luxury is another
mans necessity, jointly creating a
transaction on which business ana
employment depend, This statement
does not, of course, imply encourage
ment of extravaganza. In the prac-
tice of true thrift now or at any time'
there is no waste, Especially now
we must abstain from using for indl-
viduaI needs any essentials necessary
to the government for the successfui
prosecution of the war. We must
subscribe literally and to our great
ost ability to the Liberty Loans ana
war charities, but we must remember
also that we will gain nothing as
nation in the encouragement OF false
aconomv boarding and seitishness.

Response to Presidents Call to Arms

by Figures of the Enlistment

Washington, Jan. 12.-Are the rank
and file of Americas fighters in this
war because they want to be or be-
cause they have to be?
Has the response of the nation to
the presidents call to arms been
spontaneous, or has 1t been forced
only by the enactment of a draft law?
The best answer to these queries
are the figures for enlistment to the
army and navy since war was de-
clared.
Although congress decided almost

tion of war that our fighting forces
should be raised by draft, nearly
twice as many men have joined the
colors by voluntary enlistment as

1,136,000. This in spite of the fact
that no special volunteer recruiting
campaigns have been conducted and
in the face of repeated announce
G1ents by the war department that it
preferred the bulk of the army to be
raised under the provisions of the
draft!
How Forces Are Divided
These volunteer forces are divided
as follows:
Regular army, 45S,301.
National guard, $4,000.

day. These men are being enrolled
and congress will be asked to raise
the authorized strength in order tt
legalize their enlistment.
Against total authorized strength
of 175,000, the regular army on Dec
rs contained 175,117 men. In addition
there were $4,000 naval reserves; 16,
800 national naval volunteers, form
erly known as the naval militia; 33,

and officers in the national guard
37S,000 were volunteers, $4,000 being
supplied from the draft to fill units
not completed when the guard regi
ments were ordered to camp.
Home Guard Besides
In addition to these volunteer units,
new home guard organization is
being formed, which Is expected to
be completely filled by volunteers
who have had previous service in the
army or national guard, but who are
not qualified for service overseas.
This home guard is to number ap-
proximately $4,000 men. and will be
organized In az battalions. It's work
will be the guarding of all wateI

guards are maintained.
The guards will be armed with our

be outfitted with our old blue uni.

Any man who has seen service In
the army is eligible for enlistment
in this guard, no matter what his
age, SO long as he can meet the ply
sical requirements. If the $4,000 are
not recruited from volunteers who
have seen service, the ranks will be
brought up to strength from men sub
ject to draft but who have minor de.
fects that force their rejection for
service In France.
