pie in each of the various other cam
paigns such as Liberty Loans, Y. M.
c. A., Red Cross. etc. Tehy gave us
their unselfish time in our campaign.
The National Committee, our Staff,
andI, myself, want to especially thank
you for the wonderful, untiring and
unselfish work you have done in this
War Savings Campaign. This is the
greatest task ever assigned our state,
The quota is two and one-hah or three
times as large as all three of the Lib
erty Loans, the Red Cross, Y. M. G..
A., and every phase of war subscrip-
tions, put together since the war be-
gan. The purpose Of the government
was to reach eighty or eighty-five per
cent Of our people. In no Liberty
Loan Campaign have we ever reached
more than fifteen to seventeen per
cent Of our people, and 1t was the
plan Of the government TO reach this
great mass Of people that has never
been interested in government secuv-
tiles, that we might teach them thriSt
and economy, and thereby make thein
stockholders in the government and

awakened to the necessity of winning
the war, and to teach them that the
| first great BUSINESS of this Nation is
War, and that the first duty Of every
true, patriotic citizen is to win this
war.
"Our campaign reached our most
sanguine hopes and pledges have been
taken from people representing eigh-
tg=hve per cent Of the men, women
and children in Mississippi, both hite
and colored Former campaigns have
not extended to the rural districts,
and the colored people have not been
sufficiently interested. but we want to
especially commend the liberality and
in many instances, the sacrifice made
n,e Re5 especially
ormend the colored people in this
campaign"

 One paragraph of the speech reported indicates that the system of in Germany is unlike anything before known in Europ under the designation parliamentary government Says the Chancellor;
 Deputies will take part in the direction of the
 Imperial policy and in the of the Chancellor
 will be responsible without being insters."
 The German Chancellor is creature of the monarchy He raised the Kaiser and too him responsible Deputies who take part in the direction of the Imperial policy in the of the Chancellor who responsible without being minister's of responsible to the Kaiser not the German people.
