VANDERBILT URGES WAR SAVING BOOM
 ALL OVER ARIZONA

F. A. Vanderlip, chairman of the National War Savings committee, recently made a tour of the country, visiting principal states from the At- lantic to the Pacific. It had been eX- rected that he would be able to include Arizona in his itinerary, but urgent matters recalled him 10 Washington hurriedly.
 Explaining why he was unable to come to Phoenix and expressing his satisfaction at the energetic manner in which the war savings campaign is under way, he writes to State Director Harry R. Tritle of the Arizona War Savings committee a most interesting letter.
 "On my return from q trip to the Pacific coast" says Mir. Nanderdip, "I find much in the progress of the War Savings campaign that is most en- couraging. The observations I have made in the states have been through, and a study of the methods in use in the states that are showing the best results, all go to strengthen the opin- ion we have all held. that the success attained in every section of the country will be pretty directly related to the enthusiasm. persistency and skill with which the work in each local commun- ity is organized and carried on.
 T have never felt more profoundly than I do at the present moment that the War Savings work--and the task of getting into the minds and daily life Of all the people the doctrine back of the War Savings movement-is one of the fundamentals in our contribution toward crushing this damned Prussian- ism. As we sacrifice now, we will escape lowing to arrogance in the future.
 This weeks events in France should make us all see clearer what this coun- try has to do. Seeing clearer means working harder, and so I want to urge upon everyone who has dedicated ser vice to the War Savings campaign tc renew that dedication in deeper earn est and to take up the work with re- newed Vigor, enthusiasm and hopeful. ness. We have made a great start: we are going to make a tremendous sue. cess. and the measure of that succes. will be the measure of the work we arc willing to do
 The campaign of War Savings ha: now passed the initial stage of organi. zation. From now on it needs stead, work sustained energy continuing en, thusiasm. We can watch progress from Washington. we can contribut, suggestions, we can furnish material and to all that I am prepared to con tnue 10 give all that is in me. al are al my associates here; but the great worl must now be done by the organize, workers throughout the nation. Tn community where the best local worl Is done will show the best results. w will help in every way possible but il your hands lies the essential task. IT help Keep this work energized to tn highest degree, I have appointd J. E kavanagh-who, since the first days q our campaign, has been giving all O his time to it here in Washington-a assistant 10 the chairman. Whereve he can help you with his well-traine general experience and his intimat knowledge of our work. he will do sc hope you will command his experi ence and advise in every way that vo may need it.
