Savings Stamps Are Safe.

Don't always believe the man who
says that it is at a great sacrifice that
he buys War Savings Stamps and
Liberty Bonds, and that only his high
sense Of patriotism compens him to
do SO.
The best bankers and the most sue
cessful investors will tell you that the
safest investments are Government Sc
curities, and these today are War Saw
ings Stamps and Liberty Bonds.
John J. Pulleyn, president Of the
largest Savings Bank in the world
the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank
Of New York, expresses his views in
the Worlds Work as to what are the
safest investments a person can make
today regardless Of the fact that our
country is at war His advice is that
which has come to him through ex-
perience, and which his and all saw
ings Banks In New York practice. He
says:
''The man who tries to get 10 per
cent. or even 6 per cent. on his money
takes chances with his principal. For
the average individual, the best IN
yestments range from Government
and State bonds through municipals
to the highest gfede railroad issues.
In such securities there is the great
est degree Of safety for an investment.
These classes of bonds are the ones
that savings banks of New York buy.
There have been no defaults among
them At present prices they can be
secured to yield from Az to per
cent. on the investment" He says
further. in regard to these invest
ments:
"A man cannot become a million
aire BY this method Of investment, but
can gradually accumulate an estate,
which will grow steadily II the inter
asst II added to it and can be free from
all worry in regard to it. II He does
not have to keep watch Of the ticker
or the quotations in the daily paper.
n he buys the best grade bonds, he
can put them away to hold until ma
tur1ty when they VIII be paid on al
par That is the way savings banks
make their investments"

London. - British and American troops launched an attack northwest of St Quentin, Field Marshal Halg reported Fierce fighting is taking place on the entire front from S. Quentin to the Scarpe, about 8 miles.
 The British encirclement of Cam- brai progresses favorably. Canadian troops have captured the defense sys- tenn known as the Marcoing- Mas nieres line as far north as Sally. Since Friday morning the British have captured more than 16,000 pri3- oners.
 The fall of Cambrai is considered only matter of time and the allies having gained an important footing on the eastern side of the under ground canal in the neighborhood of Belicourt, there is every likelihood that St. Quentin soon will share a similar fate.
 The French are maintaining steady progress in Champagne and the ene- my apparently is retiring from the Chemis-des-Dames.
 Field Marshall Haigs statement reads:
 At $50 o'clock Sunday British and American troops attacked nortn- west of St. Quentin to the Scarpe.
 Heavy fighting took place about Gonnelieu and the Welsh ridge. Our troops made progress on the high ground southwest of Gonnelieu, bue at Welsh ridge were pressed back slight ly. We renewed the attack on this sector at an early hour this morning and made progress, taking prisoners.
 At Marcoing we enlarged orr bridgehead position evening, east of the Canal de L'Ascaut (Scheidt Ca nab and drove off a hostile counter attack, taking number of prisonels. Further north, English naval units established themselves as of the iiv- CT L'Escaut, opposite Cantaing.
