You cannot cat your cake and have it, too
You cannot spend all of your money and
save it, TOO. You cannot blow hot and blow
cold at one and the same time You must be
thrifty or you must be a spcndthrift If
you intend to spend to get all that you
want, you cannot save any of your earn
ings People, who spend all that thcv make
may not be wastcful. They argue that if
they had enough money, they would save
some money. Don't fool yourself. TO use
the proper language, don't deceive yourself.
Your necessities. real or imaginary will
keep step with your income People, who
spent all that they earned on five dollars
week are now spending all that they earn
On twenty-five dollars week. When they
were getting five dollars per week. they
wore dead sure that they could save
some money If they could only get ten
dollars per week. They had not acquired
the habit of saving then and they have not
acquired the habit of saving now.
My advice to young and old Is to start
n savings account now. Deny yourself
some necessity and try Christmas Savings
Club Card or a War Savings Stamp. Either
or both will help you. The time to begin
is now. Death may not overtake you this
Year or next but sickness is ever Mt your

service, the War Department. admitted
to-day. Until the applications for
allotments properly executed are re-
celved at the office OF the War Risk
Insurance Bureau here from the men

available for the dependents, it was as :
serted. f''
I'VE are without any authority to

ne applications" officials of the War
R'sk Bureau declared to-day. CAS-
quickly as these are received the bu-
reau will respond promptly by. dis
patching checks to the relatives en-
titled to government aid"
1t was explained at the bureau that
much OF the blame lies with the com
manders OF the companies, only small
TSr ne cent OF whom have thus far sent to
Washington the applications of their
men. Instances were cited where d.
VISION offices waited until the entire
10000 soldiers in their commands were
canvassed to ascertain the dependents
and the amounts to be deducted from
their pay before the lists were sent to
the department. 1t was also admitted
that no applications have been received
from the American troops abroad, OK
SSpl a lew from members OF CNC NdlN
bow Division. who filed out the blanks
before embarlsing for France
War Risk Bureau officials declared
that branches had been opened with
the troops in France and that applca-
tions for allotments from all men over
seas were expected daily. Likewise,
instructions have gone forward to al'
division commanders to expedite the
Cling of blanks Of their commands so
The relatives of soldiers may not have
to wait longer for government assist
ance.
Thousands Of letters have been re-
ccived by the Quartermaster Corps
and the War Risk Insurance Bureau
during the past month from depend
ents asking for their allotments Ell
forts have been made to respond to
each individual request, but in 80 per
cont of the cases it was found that the
soldier himself failed to furnish the
terartmcnt with the number of de-
pendents, their addresses and their re-
ationship, all essential points before
any government aid can be extended
Secretary Of War Baker also has re-
ceived letters urging greater prompt
rcss in forwarding allotment checks.
He said to-day he referred all requests
to the army paymaster and the War
RISK Bureau with the request for
speedy action.

Criminals Hide
In Our Uniforms,
Swami Declares

District Attorney Swami wrote yes
terday to Attorney General Gregory
that he is convinced that many GRIM
'nals in New York are wearing army
uniforms in order to facilitate the
commission Of crime. He also informed
the Attorney General that he has OBJ
tanned evidence that certain manu-
facturers of uniforms are placing uni
forms by irregular methods into the
hands of pushcart ucdiers and second
hand dealers, enabling them to retail
uniforms as low as $14 apiece.
Evidence against manufacturers was
submitted to the District Attorney by
the depot quartermastcr in this city.
Incidentally it was learned that as
result of the Congressional investiga-
tion into army equipment, the War De-
partment has Communicated large
quantities Of the better quality OF
army uniforms in New York. 1t was
reported that 10000 of certain sizes
had been seized. The value Of these
uniforms it is said will exceed $780,
900.
Representatives of the depot quar-
termaster brought several specimens
Of uniforms to the District Attorneys
office. They were seized at the stores
Oh d. ). Reynolds, l4S west lhlrty-
fourth Street, and A. T. Thompson, 210
West Forty-second Street. Two Of
these bore the label of B. B. Goldberg,
a manufacturer at Broadway and
Tenth Street, and were said to be re-
jected Goldberg was questioned by
the District Attorney and admitted
that the uniforms bearing his labels
were made by him. lie said, however,
that they were not rejects and were
not made from cloth furnished to him
by the government for uniforms to be
supplied by contract. He insisted that
he had the right to manufacture uni
forms for enlisted men if he could get
the same kind Of cloth that the gov
ernment selected for its use.
After questioning Reynolds, Thomp
son and Goldberg, Mr.. Swami called
up Federal District Attorney Caffrey,
and the information was turned over
to Assistant District Attorney John C.
Knox, Of that Office. Mr. Swami then
expressed a desire to cooperate with
the Federal authorities in suppressing
the irregular trading in army livery.

State Seeks Lawyer
TO Defend Girl Slayer
Jennie Mattano Killed Sweet
heart, but Plight Moves Dis
trict Attorney Lewis

If these were the days of chivalry
and Jennie Mattano a lady of high
degree, some valiant knight would up
holster himself in armor plate and
ride forth to redress her wrongs.
But this is 1913 and Jennie Mattano
is no princess in Distress She is only
young Italian girl who tried to re-
dress her own wrongs with disastrous
results. She is held in Raymond
Street Jail, under Indictment for mur-
der, for on November 22 she shot and
killed her sweetheart, Giovanni Pis-
siglio, who had taken from her all that
a woman holds precious. The Mattano
family is very poor, and unless some
counsel volunteer his services she will
not even be afforded the protection
that certain Of her higher born sisters
have been granted when faced with a
similar charge.
The girls plight has touched the
feelings of District Attorney Lewis,
the man who is bound by law to try
to send her to her death Last night
he appealed to his fellow lawyers for
some one who would prove a worthy
antagonist in the battle he must wage
against her.
Il ask" said the District Attorney,
that the young woman may have
counsel as skilled as certain women of
wealth and social position who have
been accused and tried for homicide
have had. 1t is unjust that she should
not get as able legal representation as
they. | will be obliged to prosecute
the case vigorously, but l feel that it
will be reproach 20 justice if the
woman is not adequately defended"

FRENCH OFFICER HAS HARD TIME
 MAKING JOURNEY

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26. - Lieutenant N. Frassenet, of the French Army. recently here enroute to Russia, to join General Murice Janin commander of the Czecho- Slovak forces in Siberia, told of his experience in getting out of Rus sia sOmet time ago. Although he had been manufacturing munitions for the Russian Government for many months, he was told he could not leave Russia without paying a bribe to the Bolsheviki Government of 50,000 roubles for himself and each one of the the small French colony with him. He spurned the offer and with fifty-two French workmen made his way through northern Russia, directly into the heart of the Bolsheviki territory, and finally reached Archangel, from where the party sailed to New York.

IS PARALYZED
 FROM INFLUENZA
 AND TRAFFIC CEASES

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mex, Nov. 26-Santa Eulalia, the center of the Santa Eulalia mining district of Chihuahua state, was completely paralyZed by the influenza epidem- ic which swept northern Mexico The mines were forced to close, the schools suspended and even the adobe church which was erected by the simple hearted native min CTS to Santa Eulalia, was closed for the first time since it was erected
 Santa Eulalia is called the pa tron saint of the Mexican miner. When he begins his little prospect hole on the top of some hill, he fashions crude cross from cactus stems and sets this emblem up be- side his hole to call down the bless ing of the patron saint upon his mine. Even in the underground drifts and tunnels the Mexican pc on miner sets up a cross, places his miners candle in front of it to form a crude shrine to Santa Flu lalia.
