WAR.DEVELOPED THRIFT
ADDS TO BANK DEPOSITS
Financial Institutions Have Made
Steady Gains in Resources, Ac-
cording to Records.

Despite investments of billions of
the country's savings in liberty bonds
and government savings certificates.
bank resources show a steady gain
and savings bank deposits are making
phenomenal increases, according to
the war loan organization.
The Odd Lot Review. discussing
Americas thrift progress, says: That
government bonds and savings stamp
purchases have helped greatly to IN
crease savings deposits Is shown by
the fact that since 1913 savings de-
posits have increased from $6.000.000
900 to close to $4,000, 100000. OF spe-
cial value in connection with savings
has been the work recently done In
the savings stamp campaigns. It Is
shown that persons who get accus-
toned to making regular purchases OF
thrift and war savings stamps con-
tinue to practice thrift, not only in
this manner but in adding to their
savings bank deposits"
Secretary Baker of the war Depart
ment has designated the following DIS
bursting officers to handle the sale OF
thrift and savings stamps for the war

country. in attendance. Max Hayes,
chairman of the executive committee
OF the new party. announced here.
Hayes Temporary Chairman.
Mr.. Hayes was elected temporary
executive committee chairman at q
conference Of labor party organiza-
Monday attended by representatives
from Illinois. California, Ohio, New
York and Connecticut. A call will be
sent out from Chicago within a few
days to about ten thousand labor or
CARNATIONS throughout the country
and to more than seven hundred city
central labor bodies to elect dele
gates to the convention for the pur-
pose of formally organizing the labor
party.
The basis of the representation shall
be one delegate from each state and
local organization with a membership
OF 500 or less and one delegate for
each 500 additional members or major
fraction. - u,
Says Formation Il Imperative.
The call in part follows:
1--WE hold that the formation of a
national labor party has not only be-
come expedient, but imperative. The
hopeless bankruptcy of the dominant
political parties and their utter in
ability to function in the interests OF
the people in the present crisis and
to meet the profound economic and
social problems that now portend
make 1t self-evident that the people
must take the reins OF government In
their own hands If grave consequences
resulting from our social evolution
and the lack Of understanding among
those intrusted with public affairs are
to be avoided and this country is to
be made safe for justice and democ-
racy.

FOR NAW'S NEEDS
Acting Secretary Roosevelt
Would Place Fighting Ships
in Proper Condition.

With the approval of President Will
son, Acting Secretary Roosevelt has
sent to Congress estimates for addi-
tional naval appropriations totaling
SIS, 100000 to permit of expeditions
ly placing and maintaining in a
proper state of repair all of the
lighting ships of the fleet"
States Why Money Is Needed.
In transmitting the estimates. Sec
rotary Roosevelt said it was the opin-
ion of Admiral Benson. chief of naval
operations, that it was important, if
not urgent, that every fighting unit
of the feet should be put in efficient
fighting condition at the earliest pos
sible moment" The acting secretary,
however. added that this was mo
more important or urgent at this
time than when the current appro-
Priations were in the course of max
ing" in June.
The appropriations asked for in
clude 100000 for general main
tenance of yards and docks. s2,1oo, 600
for fuel. 36.50o.OOO for preservation
and completion of vessels on the
stocks. and 100000 for repairs,
preservation and renewal of machine
ry.
Ships Should Always Be Ready.
"All ships that the plans call for
employment in the event of hostilities,"
the acting Secretary wrote, SHOULD at
all times be in readiness to perform
the mission for which they were au-
thorized and constructed, and they
all cannot be placed in such a state
in the near future within the appro-
priations now current
Il think it is correct to say that it
was not contemplated when those ap-
preparations were determined upon
that work would proceed with any
pronounced dispatch, nor was it real
ICED by those bureau officials con-
cerned that the repair of those laval
vessels which have been employed
in bringing troops back from Europe
would be as extensive as now aD-
pears necessary"

Chicago, August 29.-Foodstuffs of
all kinds continued on a downward
scale today. Live hogs sold as low as
$14.50 a hundred pounds early in the

receive the benefit of the lower fig
ures, 1t was pointed out, until meat
purchased during the decline is re-
leased for sale, which will be In about
