THRIFT THE SHORTCUT TO WAR
SUCCESS.

Occasionally when the private citi-
zen of limited income sits down to
ponder the fact that the government
already has arranged to spend some
s21, 200 100000 for war purposes. he
is staggered, overwhelmed by the i'm.
mensity OF the sum. There Is not
that much money in the United
States" he says to himself. Il don't
see how II can be DONE
At first glance 1t does appear diff
ficult of accomplishment. 1t is true
that that huge amount Is more than
three times as much money as there
is in the United States treasury and
sub.treasuries. and in general circu
lation. But the big fact-the big fact
for the government and for the man
with limited income--is this: All the
money in the United States will
change hands three times while the
$21, 900, 100000 is being spent. The
workman in the field and in the mine
and in the factory will receive his re
munerative pay; he will, In turn, dis
burse his earnings-some for the
necessaries of life, some for his little
amusements and luxuries, and some
for his savings account.
Here lies another big and import
ant fact. Not only will he save some
of his earnings, but the grocer to
whom he gives part Of his earnings
will save some, and so will the shoe
dealer, and. the doctor, and the
clothier, and the baker and the
butcher. All will save some-and the,
will strive to put their savings to thu
best possible use. How best can the.
use their savings? All things con
sidered, they can do no better thar
lend their money to the government
which must be enabled to continue L
purchase iron and steel and clothini
and food and machinery with whicl
TO carry on the war for the worl'
freedom that will spell continue,
prosperity for all the people.
Unless the government Is provide,
with funds at this time to make ne,
contracts and pay for new materials
the mines and the shops either mus
close down entirely or curtail activ
ties, with the result that the pay roll
will be cut and the number of work
ers reduced. With curtailment Of IN
dustrial and commercial activities
the market for the farmers produc
necessarily will be narrowed an
cheapened. The more literally an
generally the people purchase govern
ment war securities, the more none
the government will have to spen
and the more wages the workme
will receive for steadier time. None
must be kept in circulation in orde
that industrial and commercial az
tivities may be continued.
Wisdom in the expenditure G
money is the real basis OF thrift
Money should not be boarded an
put out of circulation, but should b
made a factor in the success of IN
war and in the prosperity that ca
be built 20 loftier and broader an
sounder dimensions when the gref
conflict ceases and peace is restored
Thrift is the one shortcut to success
in the war for world freedom.

hOYNE ON
SUNDAY CLOSING

States Attorney HOyne has stated
his position on the matter of Sunday
closing in letter to Commissioner
John T. Richards.
Part of the testimony has been
taken before Special Commissioner
Richards. all. thus far, in behalf of
Municipal Judge John II. Newcomer,
from whose ruling test case was
taken to the Supreme court. The states
attorney seeks writ of mandamus
from the Supreme court compelling
Judge Newcomer to accept forthwith
the pleas of nolle prosequi which the
states attorney had entered in
more than 800 cases against Sunday
lid violators, put up to him by the
police department to prosecute.
Special Commissioner Richards Is
hearing testimony, particularly on
the point of whether the states at
tOrney made an actual investigation
of the different cases in getting at
the merit of each of them before re.
fusing to prosecute. The states at.
tOrney, before the Supreme court,
contended that It is his right to make
,, the nolle prosequi motion, as he sees
fit. Before granting or refusing the
writ the Supreme justices referred
the whole matter to Mr.. Richards to
take testimony and to ascertain the
grounds for Mr.. Hoyne's refusal to
prosecute.
The case was referred to Commits.
siOner Richards at the October term
of the Supreme court, with the ex.
pectation that report would be
made prior to the December term. As.
sistant States Attorney Henry Der.
ger, In charge of the Sunday closing
cases, was assisting In the prosecu.
ton of the Healey case and at Mr.
Hoyne's request the hearing was
postponed until the Healey case was
ended
The affair Is distinct echo of the
clash between the states attorney
and Mayor Thompson, following the

NOTED VISITOR FROM SERBIA

Among the distinguished foreign
visitors In Washington Is one who de.
serves more attention than he received

This Is MilcnkO Vesnitch, head of the

of the international congresses which
have taken place during the past ten
years, enjoys an altogether European
reputation and Is particularly well
qualified to voice the views, the aspl-
rations and the requirements of his
nation.
Milenko Vesnitch may be said to
have shared the ups and downs of the
nation to which he belongs. Like other

That the Chicago Pneumatic Tool

impression that seems to have arisen
through the recent announcement of
the organization of the Little Giant

is merely sales organization owned

Tener's Decision Against American

NEW YORK, July 3O.--It appears
that the National league is about to
do something in support Of Governor
John K. Tener, president, in his pub
lie stand against the American
league. Instead of talking about
what should be done in the case and
publicly declaring themselves either
opposed to or for the man who has
done so much for the elder major
league, the Nationals magnates are
holding their peace and making
some real hay.
George Stallings, manager of the
Boston club, is the only man con-
nected with the National league who
has expressed himself in any terms
of certainty regarding the Perry con-
troversy. AS Stallings is the man in
the National league principally in

clared himself in favor of strong
stand against Ban Johnson to SHOW
him where he gets Off"
AS a matter of fact, Johnson is
scarcely as much to blame as Connie
Mack, for without Mack's action in
carrying the case to the courts the
deed of President Tener would not
have shown its head. Johnson, how
ever, embroiled himself when he
stated in a message that the Ameri-
can league would not, under any cir
cumstances, consent TO the removal
of Perry from the Athletics. and also,
when. after the decision of the COM
mission. he exposed his own opin-
ion-that the decision was unjust.
Many things can happen as a re-
suit of the decision of Governor
Tener to have nothing more to do
