It the money with which It can buy
the necessary supplies and command
the necessary services to make our
fighting forces stronger and more ef-
fective In the field; and this means
IN earlier victory for American arms.
The great difficulty Is to impress
this lesson Of economy upon the
American people. 1t win require
widespread propaganda and constant
effort. With this in view, It was my
privilege to suggest to the Congress
the raising of 81, 1000, 00o. 900 by the
sale Of war-savings stamps and thrift
stamps, so that the American people
would have the opportunity, as well
as the direct encouragement. to econ
omize and save money by putting
within their reach the opportunity OF
lending their savings, In such small
amounts even as 20 cents, to their
own Government
We have therefore organized a war
savings campaign upon a wide scale
and shall bring TO the attention of
every man, woman, and child in the
country the privilege now offered to
them OF serving themselves and serv-
ing their country by depositing their
savings with the Government Of the
United States upon the safest security
In the world. The Government will
accept these savings and issue its d.
rect obligations for them IN the form
OF war-sayings stamps and thrift
stamps.
Direct Incentive to Save,
These stamps are not issued by the
Government as an investment for the
rich They are intended for people OF
small means primarily. They are In
tended to bring within the reach Of
everyone IN the United States the OPP
portunity Of investing In the obIiga-
lions OF the United States Government
upon terms unusually advantageous
to the investor and to encourage
everyone to save HIS money and lend
1t TO the Government.
The plan offers the most direct IN
centive to economic and save ever Of
fered to the people OF the country.
When the Government makes It possi-
BILE for every one to know that by saw
ing 25 cents which otherwise would
have been wasted he can invest that
% cents IN a Government obligation,
IL IL a definite objective to which
each ones economy may be directed.
In other worus, It is possible to trans
mute ones economies into a specific
obligation OF the Government, and
each one who saves Is able to know
that his economy is producing a con-
crete result advantageous to himself,
of benefit to his Government, and
a direct contribution to the winning
of the war.
look upon the war savings cam
paign which the department has now
as promising the most
benefits to the American
people. and producing fundamental

help in financing, as well as In sue

Of Verdun, Nov. 3.-(Sunday, 7 p. m.)
More than 1000 prisoners were cap

today. The number of guns and other
booty is steadily growing. The right
flank of the American line is now
at Halles, on the heights overlooking
the Meuse river.
1t has not been a day Of lighting as
much as of pursuit. The Germans
are not retreating in great disorder
and their withdrawal cannot be called
a rout, but it is certain the general
staff and the field officers have lost
control to a certain extent.
All parts Of the line were active
during last night. The left wing con-
tinues its advance with little inter-
ruption, even after darkness has fallen

The American advance in Flanders
was carried out in the face of des-
perate fighting, the Germans occupy
ing houses all along the line with posts
established in woods, hedges and
sunken roads, strongly supported by
machine guns. AS many as ten Ger
man soldiers were found in single
house.
Despite these obstacles the Ameri-
cans pushed on at gallop and today
held all of the western bank of the
Escaut canal and all of the bridges
except one which was mined.
French civilians risked their lives
by going out of Audenarde, after the
Germans had left the city, to cut
wires and dig up mines.
When the Americans entered the
place, the Germans on the eastern bank
Of the Escaut had concentrated in
force, with n large number of machine
guns and pieces of artillery.
Between Friday afternoon and
o'clock Saturday afternoon, the Amer
leans advanced nearly six miles. After
the western part of Audenarde haC
been taken, American patrols pushet
rapidly up the Escaut three miles t
Heurne and took possession of all the
high ground west of the stream.
