WAR SAVINGS DRIVE TO
CONTINUE ANOTHER WEEK
Extreme Cold Handicapped Efforts,
Director D. J. Callahan Declares;
Predicts Success.

| War Savings week" in the District
of Columbia has been extended, and the
drive for war savings and thrift stamps
| in the National Capital is to be two
| week affair instead of one. as originally
| planned. In making the announcement
| last night Director y. ]. Callahan said:
THE only reason for an extension of
the drive at this time is the fact that
the weather was SO extremely cold the
| first part of this week and the public
schools being closed, thus leaving prac-
| tically inactive one of our most desir-
able resources. Notwithstanding the
fact that we were handicapped. the ex-
ecutive committee feels the various
chairmen have performed yeoman serv-
ice in effort to bring US over the
top
we are urging them, however. in let
ters sent out today. to continue the
campaign in the earnest hope that the
people of the District of Columbia will
continue to respond generously toward
our goal
THE One Thousand dollar Savings Club
, under the leadership of Charles J. Bell is
accomplishing splendid results. The daily
mails are bringing in to Mr. Befl many
favorable responses. In addition to the one
dollar club. Chairman Gilbert H.
Grosvenor of District g. editor of the
National Geographic Magazine. is accom-
Dlishing splendid results in the perfection
of the One e-hundred-dollar War Savings
Club. Before this campaign progresses
much further We hope to enlist into the
membership of this club every availa BILE
citizen. 1t only means saving SS2 40 in
year. In other words, a thrift stamp
saved every day will make every man,
woman and child eligible to membership" !"
The meetings in the theaters which
have been handled by William w Bride,
chairman of the speakers committee, will
be continued through next week. The
postmen with their automobile are achiev-
ing good results in their sales on the
downtown corners.

American Paintings Safe in Rome.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 20.-American ar
lists who contributed paintings draw
ings or sculptures to the British sec
ton of the international exhibition in
Venice in the summer of 1914 will be
relieved of anxiety by the announce
ment that their contributions have been
safely transferred to Rome. On the out
break of the war these works of art,
which could not then be returned owing
to transport difficulty and war risks,
were removed from the dangerous vi
cinity of the arsenal to the basement
of one Of the palaces, where they re-
mained until a short time ago. In view
of the new danger to Venice. the Ital-
ian authorities transported the whole
foreign exhibit to Rome.

buy thrift stamps
If we cannot buy at once a $500 war
savings certificate a twenty-five cents
thrift stamp can be bought, and from
time to time added to until there are
enough to exchange with a few addi-
tional pennies for $500 saving GER
tifloate. And when this Is done the
buyer can feel he Is helping his coun-
try because he Is working for 1t and
with 1t. The government does not ask
us TO give 1t money. 1t asks us to lend
II money at good rate of interest,
and in buying the thrift stamps we
are helping ourselves even more than
we are helping the government.
We are acquiring habits of thrift are
finding out the value OF money as a
friend to be relied upon Wien it is
where we can put our hand on 1t at
the time most needed; and we are
learning the purchasing power Of
money when 1t Is carefully expended
rather than unthinkingly spent. for

We are learning to save systematic

To get the muckle needed every mickie
must be added. Every twenty-five
cent stamp is a mickle. Millions Of
these mickles should be bought every
week and their buying will prove tc
Germany better than all the speeches
that could be spoken or written that
the people of these United States
realize this war is their war. and they
are going to stand behind their gov
eminent until it is won.
None should be too poor to prove
their love for their country by buying
thrift stamps. but II any one is SO con-
sidered the purchase should be made
by others and the stamp or certificate
presented that he or she may not feel
that they are outside the second line
of defense. which is made UP of those
that provide the first line with what
1t needs.
Before 1919 one hundred million
names should be enrolled on the thrift
card certificates.
1t would be the most significant fact
that could be prescribed to the country
whose people are not free people and
whose government plunged the world
into the most hideous and horrible war
of all times.
Let's begin to enroll these names
now.
Let's begin to buy these stamps for
ourselves and for others who may not
be able to buy them.
We, the people, are to win this war.
for it Is war to save ourselves from
bondage which would be more bitter
than DEATH
Don't let us say we love our coun-
try. believe In IL, and feel for 1t in
