As You Sape You Serve

In ordinary peaceful times our merchants were inclined to be a
bit wasteful in the matter of deliveries, return of goods, credits and
multiplicity of sales people. This they did to please their customers.
It cost money. 1t wasted time and labor. 1t increased the cost of Iv-
ing.
But these are war days. The government insists that saving is
a prime ingredient in good AmericsniEmj that waste is pro-German-
ism. We must save time. money, labor. We must help others to save
time. money and labor. Then there win be more time. more labor and
more money for war winning efforts.
Every parcel carried home saves time, labor and money. Every
purchase returned to the store wastes time, labor and money.
Time. money or labor lost decreases the nations war efficiency.
This Is just as true whether you lose them or aid your merchant IN
wasting them.

Moscow, April 4-(Ry the Associat-

from Berlin with the ratified peace
treaty signed by Chancellor Won

HAS ARRIVED AT
CRUCIAL STAGE

London, April 6-The question of
Irelands future has reached cru
cial stage with the announcement
that the Irish convention has finished
its work and decided on report to
be made to the government.
Premier Lloyd-George declared
when the convention was organized
that If agreed on a plan of govern
ment its plan would be embodied in a
bill and placed before parliament. He
also strongly intimated that the gov
eminent might proceed to a settle
ment of the Irish problem with Iegis-
lation even If the convention failed
to find some ground for settlement
"by consent"
Therefore, new Irish developments
are expected in the near future, al
though the first business before the
government must be dealing with
urgent war measures, chiefly that for
increasing the army.

ated Press)-A press dispatch from
Tkiev says the Ukranian Rada has
passed a resolution favoring the con-
tinuation of military operations
against the government of the soldiers
and workmen's deputies, although the
president of the Rada, Prof. Grus-
hevski, urged that peace be concluded
because of widespread dissatisfaction
among the peasants with the Rada's
policy.
Repeated acquisitions of grain by
the Germans are resisted violently by
the peasants. One village was de-
stroyed by artillery because it's inhab-
itants offered armed opposition to a
third requisition.
The Rada passed the resolution as a
German military representative, Col.
Won Kulberg, made an address point
ing out the successes of tho German
and Ukrainian troops, saying that the
capture of Kharkov and Yekaterinslav
was imminent, and giving assurance
of Germanys support in the future
against the Bolsheviki.
On being asked about the situation
| in Ukraine, Major Gen. Bronch Bruje-
| witch, secretary of state, denied that
Russia was warning with the Rada
He said it was purely civil war be-
tween the Bourgeoise government and
the Ukrainian Bolsheviki, who have
formed a government of their own.

TRIBUTE PAID

correspondent of the Daily News He
says American aviation mechanics
also have rendered splendid aid.
Describing the air fighting on the
western front, the correspondent
says never before in any army have
aeroplanes been used in such great
concentration. On one sector of the
battle front as many as 800 machines
are in the air at one time. The use
of machine guns on enemy troops,
guns and transports by low flying
machines. he adds, has been carried
to point far beyond anything in
previous experience.
