careful methods planned and carried
out by the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Federal Reserve banks not
alone have overcome these problems,
but have evolved them into strata
of strength and security for the gov

But not so with the Huns. The only
alternative to victory IS defeat. We
must mobilize our resources and con-
centrate every effort so that the in
human, vicious barbarism Of German
autocracy will be overcome. Then only
will we have lasting peace"
The intensive drive will continue
until June %, which date President
Wilson has proclaimed as. National
War Savings Day.
The committee has set mini
mum of 100000 as the number of
New Workers who must sign pledges
to save in every way possible and in
vest the money in stamps. An average
of $50 worth of stamps per per-
son bought during the course cf the
year would fill the city's quota of
100000, but it is hoped that the
sum will be far exceeded.
Campaign of Education
While thousands of stamp statesmen
will be stationed in all parts of the
city, the present drive is a campaign
of education rather than a scheme to
solicit funds on the streets. Every
organization in greater New York is
asked to join the war savings fedora
tion and pledge the full membership
to the cause. Canvassers will visit
every home in the five boroughs seek
ing Individual pledges. Limit member
ships of persons subscribing the per-
mitted maximum of $1,000 also are
offered.
The first of series of noonday
rallies was opened at the Public lii
brary by the Mayors Committee of
Women on National Defence. Band
concerts will be offered there daily to
the passing public. Madison Square
Park, Times Square and the United
States Ship Recruit in Union Square
also will be the scenes of daily gath
erings which are expected to keep pop
ular interest at its height.

New York Thrift Drive Starts
With Enthusiastic City Hall Rally

New York prepared yesterday to
tighten the pursestrings against all
forms of extravaganza and buy $780,
100000 worth of War Savings Stamps
by the exercise Of city-wide thrift.
The greatest popular movement the
city has ever known got underway
when the combined forces of the War
Savings and Third Liberty Loan COM
mittees left the City Hall at noon and
went over the top for Uncle Gam
Flying squadrons of workers in all
parts of town received the word i'm
mediately, and the drive to pledge q
100000 stamp collectors in greater
New York was officially launched.
The allied committees met earlier
in the war savings headquarters in
the Equitable Building and marched
to the City Hall with an escort of
police and the U. S. S. Recruit band
at the head of the procession. En-
thusiastic crowds poured out of the
neigh boring Office buildings and fol-
lowed up Broadway to the scene of
the opening ceremonies.
Mayor Talks to Workers
Mayor Hylan addressed the workers
from the City Hall steps, Martin
Voegel, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, also had a final word of
encouragement for the committees.
William Fellowes Morgan, president
of the Merchants Association, acted
as chairman.
"The present war savings pledge
campaign goes beyond the Immediate
financial as istance which it will give
the government" said the Mayor in
his address. "It is a step toward in
culcating in the mind Of the people
the principle Of organized and system
attic saving, which is absolutely neces-
sary to meet the financial burden OF
the war;
"Up to this time tho vast resources
Of the nation have been scarcely
touched. From now on We must reach
deeper and deeper into our pockets.
We cannot be satisfied merely with
giving our surplus income. We must
so regulate our personal expenses that
a greater share Of our resources will
be available for the use of the coun-
try"
Mr.. Voegel praised the government
for the effective work of financing the
war.

The place was known as the Dor

1740 by william Williams, a shipbuild-

Nathaniel Coolidge, who established
a tavern, which he conducted up to the
time Of his death in ITO.
Upon the death of Mr.. Coolidge tho
tavern was conducted by his widow,
Dorothy Whitney Coolidge. Washing
ton made two visits to the tavern. the
first time in July, 1775. while on his
way to Boston. After he became pres

he remained over night.
Mrs. Coolidge was noted for the ex-
cellence Of her johnnycake, and It is
recorded that Washington partOOk OF
some and highly praised the cake and
its maker.
The tavern was a popular resort for
American and British officers, and on
the morning of the battle of Lexington
1t is recorded that Mrs. Whitney fed
the volunteers.
The Massachusetts legislators often
met here and in 1875 the safety COM
mittee made its headquarters at the
tavern.
In the early days Of the place a
signboard bearing likeness Of George
M hung over the entrance to the main
door. Later this was changed for .
portrait Of George Washington.
The property was acquired by the
Boston elevated railway several years
