getting plenty of work at present.
I've never gotten the Leader, but

WAR SAVINGS

"War Savings Stamps mark an
epoch in our national lifc."-Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo.
Many successful business man has
said that the saving of his first dollar
was the most important single act of
his life: that it marked the beginning
of n habit and Il course Of conduct to
which he attributed his success.
Something very analogous to this. it
is believed. is going to be the effect on
the American nation of the War Saw
ings campaign. Not only are millions
of individual citizens going to begin to
save. but this habit of economy and
saving is going to be a collective move
ment. n movement not of individuals
alone but of the nation.
The habit of saving formed now has
deeper incentive than ordinary. We
are saving now not alone for selfish
reasons. We are saving now from patri-
otism. saving not alone for ourselves
but for our country. The combination
of patriotism and thrift is indeed, go
ing to- make the war savings cam
paign IN epoch in our national life. II
is not only sRing to be n thing of tre-
mendous benefit to millions of citi-
Gems. 1t is going to be a thing OF ire
mendous advantage to the ration as a
whole. and affect our whole national
life. 1t marks the beginning Of a new
era In American life. an era of
economy. good sense. and patriotism.

Stories of Canadians Who
Returned From War.
ey Dscklss Wilson.

Lieutenant w. 9. Hamilton. now In
service at the British Canadian re-
crniting mission in Chicago, never tells
the real story Of the part he played In
the Ypres salient. The story was un-
earthed In an official gazette ana Is
given as follows. by a comrade who
also participated in those never-to-
be- forgotten experiences of Ypres. To.
morrow Lieutenant Hamilton's own
story will appear.
My battalion" narrates one officer
who greatly distinguished himself,
went forward in four waves, two
under Major Perry and two under
Major McCuaig. The first of the
trenches was taken without opposition.
1t had been practically obliterated by
our artillery. While we were taking
this trench. the artillery lifted until
1850. to give us time to reach the
second trench, which we also took with
little opposition.
Major Perry was hit before we
reached the first rtench. The thirc
trench was taken by the first three
waves, supported by the fourth. But
it was here that opposition was en-.
countered. A Boche machine gun or
the left had been dragged up from be.
low, and ably handled by Boch,
sergeant, whose face was streaming
with blood. and they enfiladed our lin
in n most disastrous manner. Four OF
our advancing officers were struck
down. and for FEW moments it looked
as though that single weapon was go
ing to check this part of our line.
| Silence that Hun machine! Put /
out OF action!' roared one of our Of
Ulcers. Lieutenant w. G. Hamilton
ran backwards with n single private
armed with bombs, and charged tn
