lesson of economy upon the America n
people. 1t will require widespread prop
uganda and constant EFFORT. With this
in view, 1t was my privilege to sug-
gest to the Congress the raising of s.. !
100000 by the sale of war savings
stamps ana thrift stamps, so that The
American people would have the oppor-
tunity, as well as the direct encourage
ment to economic and save by putting
within their reach the opportunity Of
lending their savings, in small amounts
even as 2o cents, to their own govern
ment
OFFER THRIFT STAMPS
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 serving their country by
depositing their savings with the govern
ment of the United States upon the SAT-
lest security in the world. The govern
ment will accept these savings aond is
sue its direct obligations for them in
the form of war savings stamps and
thrift stamps.
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 intend
ed to bring within the reach of every.
one in the United States the opportunity
of investing in the obligations of the
United States government upon terms
unusually advantageous to the investor
and to encourage everyone save his
money and lend it to the government
The plan offers the most direct in.
centive to economic and save ever of.
fered to the people of the country. Wher
the government makes it possible fol
everyone to know that by saving Is cents

which otherwise would have been wasted
ne can invest that Is cents in a govern
ment obligation, it is a definite object
i've to which each ones economy may
be directed. In other words, 1t is pos
sible to transmure ones economies into
a specific obligation of the government
and each one who saves is able to know
that his economy is producing a concrete
result advantageous to himself, of benz
crit TO his government and a direct con-
tribution to the winning of the war.
look upon the war savings campaign
which the department has now inaugur-
ated as promising the most wholesome
Dement'S to the American people, and
producing fundamental conditions that
will be of immense help in financing as
we'll as in successfully prosecuting, the
war.
DUTY OF LARGE SAVINGS
Interlocked with the question of small
savings" which can be invested in war
savings stamps at interest is the cues
ton OF large savings which can be
invested in liberty bonds at interest. The
men and women of large and moderate
means owe greater duty, because they
have large margin of income. to cut
off self-indulgences. to deny themselves
useless and needless Injuries. to make
sacrifices OF comforts pleasures and
conveniences that will effect genuine
economies and set an example to the
nation. Every dollar saved represents
actual supplies saved and made avail
able for heroic soldiers and sufferina
civilians in Europe and America.
1t is easy to visualize the course Of a
dollar saved from waste and invested
in government bonds: First, it goes to
the government as a loan for the war;
second. 1t is expended by the govern
ment for food, clothing. and ammunition
which go directly to a gallant soldier or
sailor. whose fighting strength is kept
up by the food, whose body is kept warm
by the clothing and whose enemy is hit
| by the ammunition. 1t has not been ex-
pended in the purchase of needless food
and clothing for the man at home, and
! is, therefore, released for the use of the
| soldier; 1t is saved wealth to the man
at home and can be loaned to his govern
ment at interest, with resulting benefit
| to himself and to his government
We must realize that the governments

GREAT HOLES IN
GERMAN LINES

With the British Army in France
Aug. 9.-(By the Associated Pressl.
Last night the flashes from the British
guns firing from their new positions in
prepare ton for today's fighting were
blotted out now and then by flares
in the sky, which appeared to indicate
that the enemy was destroying mate
rial he was unable to move. Allied
cavalrymen have been opera ting foe
more than "a hours. They reported
great holes in the German lines by the
infantry. Today was ideal for their op.
erations, being clear and sunny. No
reports have as vet been received that
the allied forces have esta blished con-
tact with Crown Prince Rupprecht's re-
Inducements which are believed to be
rushing toward the battlefield in an at
tempt to prevent an even greater defeat.
In the meantime the British and French
are taking the fullest advantage of the
opportunity and at the same time are
prepared to withstand any shock when
may develop.
