For Regular Army.
In handling this problem OF de-
mobilization one Of the features that
had to be considered was the subsc-
Nucnt retaining OF men for the regu-
lar army, or what will be the regular
army when Congress passes laws re-
organizing that branch OF the govern
ment When the war broke out
there were only Il limited number OF
Tlrh men in the service. and the
great number OF men who filled out
these UNITS were men who voluntarily
enlisted for the period OF the war
SO we have offered these men who
came in for the period Of the war the
option OF rc-enliSting ii they care to.
What Is Oncrcd.
I'VE have offered an immediate
honorable discharge. with turlough
OF one month upon re-enlistment. and
we propose to ask Congress to give to
every single man who has been hon
orably DISCHARGED one months pay,
whatever his grade. as Il bonus. Every
man who is discharged from the army
is entitled to wear his uniform for a
period OF three months. That is a
very necessary thing because the re-
leasing to civil life OF three or four
million men makes 1t impossible to
clOthe in civilian clothes so great a
number
Question of Officers.
AS men are discharged. we take
up the question Of the officers. Of
ticers who want to apply for commits
si0ns in the regular army will be con-
sidered; officers who want to put
themselves in class whore they can

There are eight good reasons why
money invested in War Savings
Stamps in December is the best in
vestment that a person can make.
Stamps cost in December $423 and
are redeemable in 1923, four years
hence, worth $500. The eight rea-
sons are:
1. Money invested in War Savings
Stamps bears over AZ per cent COM
pound interest. No other Government
security pays as great O rate of in
terest.
2. It is non-taxable. Only when
money is invested in Government Sc
curities is it free from taxes.
f. 8. ] It is not subject to judgment
creditors or to execution of any kind.
4. tits redeemable at any time. IL
q person who has invested his money
in War Savings Stamps finds himself
overtaken by adversely, sickness or
other emergency, he can, by giving
ten days notice to che postofffce where
his stamps are registered, get back
the amount OF money he originally in
vested with about per cent interest.
s. It is redeemable in miscellaneous.
II @ person needs a part OF the money
he has invested in stamps before the
date OF maturity, he can cash in the
stamps In installmen4s at different
times.
6. It enables the smaA iavestor an
soon a. he has $4.23 to become owner
OF Government bond and partner OF
the Government. This 10 q privilege
the average citizen OF the State has
never before had. At the beginning
Of the war only one person in 800
owned Government bonds. Now at
the dose of the war one person in
Fevery Eve owns "a Government bond.
Are you a bond-holder by owning o.
Liberty Bond or a War Savings Ger
tificate?
z. Money invested In War Savings
Stamps is an investment made when
money has q reduced purchasing
power to be paid back when it will
have O large purchasing power. To-
day a dollar has the purchasing pow
er OF only sixty cents on q pre-war
basis, whereas, in 1928, or after the
war, O. dollar will have at least the
purchasing power Of 100 cents.
8. Registration Of Stamps at post
offices insures absolute safety. After
a person registers his Stamps at the
post office they are redeemable upon
demand

sTAMPs ARE FOR RICH AND POOR

No man or woman who has acquired
q Liberty Bond is relieved from the
duty of buying War Savings Stamps
TO leave the Stamps plan Of lending
money to the Government to those
of narrow means and to the young
people is to be careless Of the cause
Of America and her alltes.
Does the average man or woman
who earns a substantial salary or
good wages have any idea Of the sac
rifcex made by the small investors in
War Savings Stamps to do their bit
in the war? It is often a story OF
silent heroism. II those in fairly easy
circumstances emulated the every poor,
whose souls are filed with unyielding
resolutions to do their share to win
the war, what boom there would be
In the Governments receipts from
sales Of War Savings Stamps.
Now is the time for everyone, NO
matter what his station in life may
be, to make as great sacrifice for
his Government and for humanity ~
IL made By the most humble OF our
citizens.

NEED IS
PRESSING
Omitted Press Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March
23.-With the great German drive
now battering the west front.
ships are the outstanding neces-
sity in supporting the battling al
lies.
A steady stream of food and
supplies must be kept constantly
pouring into the allied camps, Of
ficiais emphatically declare, so
that the morale of the fighters
and populace may be maintained
during the graet strain.
To cut this line the Germans
are expecting to launch a deter
mined U-boat offensive now.
America and England are ready
to take all measures necessary to
keep up tonnage. Already sharp
cuts in importation of luxuries
have been ordered ana more will
follow very soon. More than o.
100000 tons in shipping is to be
saved by these acts.
Following the seizure of Dutch
shipping in allied ports, 1t was
believed inevitable here today that
soon other neutrals will be call
ed upon to supply their shipping
needs by Selling German ships in
their harbors.
A joint investigation is to be
undertaken at once by the ship
ping board, the navy department
and the railroad administration TO
develop leading and terminal ia
cilities at all Atlantic, Pacific and
Gulf ports.
Legislation creating free ports
with view to eliminating tedious
customs delays, is before congress,
urged to speed-up war measures.
Modern machinery, dock load
ing equipment, rail terminals and
warehouses will result from the
proposed investigation.

Denies Impression of
Carline Attitude

Fired Shoemaker is not opposed
to municipal ownership of the
street railway system, as some of
the newspapers have construed
his speeches but he believes that
1t would be unw'se for the city
to float a bond issue without COM
plete consent of the government.
There are two problems for the
people to consider, says Shoemak-
err.
First comes the question, do
you believe in municipal owner
ship of our transportation lines?
To this question, l answer, Yes,
at the earliest possible date 1t
certainly would be much better
to have Mr.. Bean or some other
manager work for the city rather
than for Stone G. Webster.
Second, comes the question,
should we vote bond issues at
the present time? To this | an
swer no. The federal govern
ment has requested that bond
issues be postponed until after
the end of the war. The request
of the government should settle
the question for the present"
