YANKS STRONG
FOR SALVAGE
Pershing Praises Efforts at
Home and Tells of Saw
ing in Army.

The Treasury Department announces
receipt of cablegram from Gen.
Pershing, addressed to Secretary Nc
Adoo, IN which he pays glowing trib-
ute to the men, women and children
Of the nation who are aiding the
fighting forces by doing without non
essentials in order that the war may
be successfully prosecuted.
THE soldiers of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces" the cablegram
says in part. ARE deeply interested
in the campaign for economy and
avoidance OF waste carried on in the
United States. You and those serv-
ing under you will doubtless be in
terested in the similar work being
done on the battlefields of France
and in the areas back OF the battle
line.
Salvage is New In Army.
The Salvage Service. something en-
tirely new in our army. was started
last January. There are already sew
eral salvage plants in operation and
more are being organized All worn
or damaged articles of whatever ma
ture are collected and converted into
useful supplies or used in the repair
Of other articles. The Salvage Serv-
erably in excess of 10000 each day.
But the saving in money, while of
great Importance. is not the vital
part of the work. We are saving
material imperatively needed at the
front; material that no expenditure
Of money can Immediately replace.
We are saving ocean tonnage which
Is seriously needed, every week re-
leasing labor for service in the United
States.
The American Expeditionary
Forces express their gratitude to
the millions of men, women and
children in America who are doing
without things in order that the
war may be efficiently prosecuted.
We consider that those who save
are a part OF our army and we want
you to know that We. too. are saw
ing. May we not claim the high
privilege of becoming a part of
your army of sayers?'
McAdoo Replies
Secretary McAdoo has >cabled
Gen. Pershing in reply as follows:
Deeply appreciate your cable
informing me Of the excellent work
the army is doing under your di-
rection in preventing waste OF ma
terials and in salvaging old mate
rials. This Intelligent service is
great Contribution to the economic
situation and a great aid to the
Treasury in its war savings and
thrift campaign. Your example is
heartening the American people in
the work of saving and economy 1T
home and will produce results of
the highest value in every direS-
ton"

nobler tribute TO Motherhood
should be paid. than now
Never has Motherhood been more
blessed. more heroic.
Upon battlefelds and in new
graves are the hearts of million
Mothers When Democracy tn

with It's gratitude TO the Mothers
of the boys who stood fast, while
civilization trembled
There can never be anyone quite
like a beautiful Mother
She who always understood. She
who always forgave and forgot
She whose smiles, and struggles
and sacrifices always came in such
even and equal measure
Tomorrow will be Mother s Day
Whether she lives or whether she
has gone, still will she be with you
If she is far away, her thoughts and
PRAYERS will be near. II she hes gone,
her sweet, memory will gladden.

The world can never pay It's
debt to its Mothers.
The combined debts Of all the
great nations at war, at its close,
