This call increases to more than

This is far in excess Of the monthly
average that would have been mobil-
lied under the original plan to call

same rate would complete the pro-
gram before mid-summer
Under President Wilson'S deter
mination to hasten the despatch Of
American troops TO France to rein

bearing the brunt Of the great Ger
man drives in Flanders and Picardy,

lowing.
Further announcements are expect
ed to follow the return Of Secretary
Baker from his visit to the battle
fronts and conference With officials of
Great Britain. France and Italy.
Troops now are moving TO Europe at
q. rapid rate and this clearing at
training camps will permit Of the
calling of men much faster than was
contemplated before the German Of

men to the battle fronts

Stamps May Become Annuities

That persons buying War Savings
Stamps may be offered an option of
cash, coupon bond, or an annuity
when they come due in five years
time, was the prediction made by
Frederic a. Delano, a member. of the
War Savings committee, to Clara
Savage who interviewed him for
GOOD Housekeeping. Mr.. Delano
compared the war savings project to
the French system of small govern
ment investment He said:
AN interesting fact concerning the
French system of government invest
ments is that if the money is left
with the state, it may become a per
manent annuity for the investor and
his heirs. I believe that we may
look forward to som ething of this
kind as d result of this Saving
plan. 1t seems reasonable to expect,
although 40 official steps have been
taken in this direction as yet. that
when these war saving certificates
mature in five years. the holder will
be offered an option of cash, a coupon
bond, or an annuity. We need only
look to France to see the beneficial
results of having the people OF a
country stockholders with that coun-
try.
. The Golden Rock OF the state
Is the name given in France to the
record of those who have invested
money with their government And
it is the ambition of every man,
woman and child to have his name
inscribed there" said Mr.. Delano.
There are at the present time APP
proXimately fifteen million names, re-
corded-'fffteen million out of about
thirty-five million population. That
is certainly remarkable record Of
thrift. And the French are proud to
be thrifty

die on the battlefield is Private James
