Salesmen's Drive
For $25, 100000
In w. s. S. Ended

The week-long drive of the National
Salesmen's Association to sell S25,000,-
600 worth of War savings stamps ended
last night. While it is not believed
that the full quota set by the statesmen
was reached, the total figures will not
be known for at least a week. 1t is
put forth by the statesmen on the last
day may have brought the sale ap-
proximately 10 a successful finish.
Even though the actual amount Of
stamps falls short of the figure set by
the statesmen, Frederic w. Allen, War
Savings Director for Greater New York,
declared yesterday the good accom-
plished by the drive could not we'll be
over-estimated. Through the vigorous
methods employed by the statesmen, the
entire city has been reused to the i'm
portancc Of getting squarely back of
the War Savings movement, with the
result that it is believed the quota set
for Greater New York at the end of the
year Will be passed easily.
The last day of the Salesmcn's Drive
was unusually spectacular One squad
Of workers set out early in the morn
ing TO canvass prominent business men
not already on the books of the War
Savings Stamps committee as having
subscribed to the full quota for stamps.
AS result more than Sl,00O,O00 worth
of stamps pledged to be purchased, had
been added to the records Of the War
Savings Committee before nichtfall.
One of the most potent factors in
aiding the statesmen in their drive yes
terday was the Camp Upton Band from
"Yir, Zip, Yaphank." The band worked
almost continuously from early in the
morning until late in the afternoon,
appearing at several of the larger meet
ings conducted by the statesmen.
War Savings Director Allen said
every sign pointed to a tremendous
total in the amount of stamps sold or
pledged to be purchased. The War
Savings Stamp Committee, he said,
considered itself under tremendous OBJ
legations to the salesmen.

James E. March, who has been

generation to his loyal Republican

at 235 Lafayette Street after an illness
Of two weeks from pneumonia and
Bright's disease. When he came to
the United States in 1872 from Italy
the future Republican leader was
twelve years old and confronted with
the necessity of making a living in a
strange land
New York dismayed him or his par

came Jimmy March, hustler for the
Erie Railroad among the Italian immi-
grants who were beginning to swarm
ashore at the Battery. From that start
he built up his labor contracting bust

made sl,OO0,0oo before his death
1t was during the longshoremen's s
strike of 1882 that Jimmy" March
really took the first step toward that
fortune. The strike was settled largely
through his influence, and in recogni-
tion OF his services he received purse
of $7,675, to which both the Erie Rail
road and the 'longshoremen con-
tributed
The story goes that "Jimmy' March
deposited the money in Jersey City
bank simply to get it out of the way
and was astonished to learn that by
putting it in savings bank he could
have obtained a per cent interest. He
went right back to the Jersey CAty
bank and demanded his money. From
