tice by some merchants of giving
war savings stamps As premiums
with purchases Ii strongly eendemn-
ed by the Treasury. 8
"The war savings movement was
created to help the people of the
United States win the war;" said a
Treasury official In statement to-
day. when retail dealer gives
away war savings stamp he does
so that he can sell a man something
the man docs not need. The govern
ment gets rs cents from the dealer
and the dealer gets S. or $40 from
the customer for the articles the
customer ought no ito have bought,
and which the war industries board
and the War Department cannot
spare the facilitieS and labor to
manufacture. Thus the transaction
goes round the circle and precisely
defeats the war savings movement"

Enemy Losses.

New York, May 24.-More than
2,7O0,00O wounded and sick men have
been returned to the fighting front
and $4,000 soldiers have been dis
charged from the German army as
unfit for further service, according to
report of the statement made in the
retchstag by Surgeon General Schulze
as contained in the Berliner Tageblatt
of April "a, a copy Of which has been
received here.
Most Of the cases Of sickness in the
army were due to diseases of the or
gans of digestion, presumably as re-
suit Of the quantity and quality of
the food Diseases of the respiratory
organs and the nervous system came
next in number
The surgeon general said the health
Of the army was very favorable and
that the tendency of the disease curve
was to decline.
Surgeon General Schulze added that
the percentage of men discharged from
hospitals as fit for further service was
very high, but said the number Of
cripples at the present time was about
5000. Excepting those killed, the
deaths in the army were l to Ii per
cent of the wounded.
