SAVING IS SERVING.

AMERICANS have frequently been charged with failure
"A 10 awake to the seriousness OF the war. Such aecusa-
lion is less frequent now than it was a year ago so ire
mendous has been the expansion OF our war machine and
all contributing industries. 1t is still heard occasionally,
however, and is still true in exceptional cases; a few re-
main who are disposed to "let George do it" But in the
main a united America has backed every war move from
the start. No fund has failed which looked to the people
for voluntary support, and Of our lighting forces, about
half are volunteers, and most Of those taken IN the draft
have gone as Willingly, and show the same heroic spirit
and sindomitable purpose toward victory
Win such a record in the past, there is no reason to
suSNct the people of failure in the future. When requested.
they saved wheat and meat in enormous quantities, that
the needs Of the aries might be supplied, In an era OF
high prices, they have saved billions to loan to the gov
eminent By investment in Liberty bonds and thrift stamps.
That form OF saving must continue, with a larger Liberty
loan about to be floated, and the war savings stamp quota
still somewhat short OF the total expected. To save is to
serve, and it represents the principal way in which many
can help,
Hence there should be a prompt response to this new
saving The government has asked-the conservation OF gaso-
line. Despite increased production Of recent months, pro-
duction Is steadily falling behind the demand, so ex-
tensive is the use OF gasoline in war. Already the east
has responded nobly to the suggestion OF gasless Sun
days for that region, That demand has not fallen on the
west, but the whole country is now asked to iorego the
pleasures Of needless automobile touring. A proper re-
Sponse 10 this request IS to be expected. The selfish
Stacker will CAD on as before, but the mass OF motorists
are patriotic, and will save gasoline as willingly as they
have saved wheat and meat and sugar and money. The
selfish ones who do not heed are short-sighted as well as
unpatriotic. If enough are like that, strcter regulations
WILL be enforced.
There is little war WEAKNESS in America, and no dis
position to quit before our task is complete. II will b,
made easier by united and immediate response to all calls
for war service. We have learned much OF economy and
conservation, but we shall have TO learn much more. ES-
eept for the pangS felt by those who send their men to
wsr-pangs not unmixed with proper %ptide-our sacri
fees haven't touched the edge Of hardship, but hardship
cannot be left out Of the reckoning when war is the pro
gram. Our allies have felt it, several OF them to an ex
tent that we shall never know, being so far removed iron

be bombed by air aiders or our ports sheled by hostt
