mittee had already declared themselves
in favor Of substantial increases to gov
ernment employees

tions for the fiscal year ended June 80,

IN NATIONWIDE MOVE
TO RESTRICT BUILDING
War Savings Committees May Aid
in Checking Expenditures Not
Essential to War.

Hundreds of war savings committees,
organized in cities, counties and states.
may be used as agencies in proposed
necessary building and other enter
prises not essential to war and to save
capital investments for government
war bonds. This became known in
connection with plans the federal re-
serve board is making for regulation
of issuessof private securities.
A committee of the board which is
working out definite methods has
under consideration a suggestion that
committees of business men and
bankers in each community and state
be intrusted with the task Of cutting
off at the source proposed expenditures
which can be eliminated during the
war. Since the war savings commit
tees already are organized and consist
of representative men. they are con.
sidered most available for the wor,.
Advocates of the scheme point ont
that without some such plan the
Treasury will be besieged by thousa nds
of applications for approval of scents
ties issues, the merits Of which 1t win be
difficult to judge at a distance Local
committees would know at first hand
whether extensions of manufacturing
plants or other business enterprises
are important to the war or can he
easily postponed.
The verdict of city or county COM
mittees may be appealed to state
agency and to the Federal Reserve Ros ri
as a last resort under the Suggested
plan. The entire procedure would he
based on moral persuasion and NOT on
legal force.

There is little to record in the way
of military activity during the past
week On the western front the allies
are maintaining an expectant attitude.
While the enemy has been busy con-
centrating his offensive forces the Brit

The recent events in Russia, which
have removed from the theater of
active operations over 300 miles OF

and the consequent shortening OF the
niles, have resulted in greatly increased
strategic freedom for the central en-
pires.
: Alertness by Allies.

took place during the period under ex-
animation, 1t is noticeable that as

displayed by the allies.

In the neighborhood Of Lens a Cana

against the Germans. which was crown
ed with success. This undertaking was
carried out with the usual Canadian

Advance Driven Back.

Southeast of Armentieres the enemy
advanced against British outpost, but
was speedily driven back.
Artillery activity was noted in the
Ypres sector and enemy fire was lively
in the area south of the Cambria sa-

Air raids into hostile territory were
numerous, not only in the theater of

dumps in the region of Roulers, and
rail heads and cantonments in Flanders,
proved good targets, but daylight at

, In the Italian theater the successes
of the preceding week have been en-
