NEW ERA DAWNS
IN THRIFT HABITS

a new era in the handling Of the
domestic finances OF the American
people, and changed attitude to
favor the habits of thrift Is seen by
Postmaster Thornton in the mental
polse OF purchasers of government
Theft ard war savings stamps through
the post office department.
The educational campaign on
thfift conducted by the government
has been a wonderful help" said Post
master Thornton, land am CON
ndent that people are absorbing the
fundamental ideas of thrift
In these days of peace people have
assumed sane persevcring attitude in
their purchase of government savings
stamps, Those who hastily, and i'm
pulsively bought tho stamp, seem to
have disappeared from our counters.
The recent buyers have held on to
their stamps and have shown no
evidence to redeem them at an early
date. I am convinced that this is
due to the fact that they have recog :
nized the benefits of steady, systematic
savings, for their own good and for
the advancements of those they love.
Chance remarks that have come
to me strengthen these beliefs. |
could mention numerous instances of
people who have saved money this
year for, perhaps. the first time in
their lives. From being a people OF
lavish spenders, il would seem that
we are learning the wisdom of thrift.
Any movement, such as thu govern
ment savings campaign, which teaches
thrift, Is bound to do good. People
who soc the sense in this want to save
and they invest their savings in
Thrift and War Savings STAMPS"

In IL Our government Is awake to

This was the reply today OF Rafael

Philippines. The statement is i'm

tary OF the Interior OF the Philippines.
and member OF the Philippine
senate. Mr.. Palma was born In
Manila in 1874. and has been an i'm
portart figure In the political life Of
the islands since early manhood. In
1905 he was appointed n member Of
the Philippine commission by rresi-
dent Roosevelt, which was an evil
dence of the confidence placed in him
tv the American government, as the
comm isston was at that time a very
important factor in the governing
power of the islands

On Removal of RumeIy
Lawyer Argues Indictment Here
Covers Mail" Ownership
Charge of Washington Bill

Judge Mayer in the Federal District
Court yesterday heard argument on
wrlts of habeas corpus and certiorari
obtained to prevent the removal of Dr..
Edward A. Rumely. former publisher of
"The Evening Mail" to Washington to
plead on an indictment against him
there. charging that he concealed the
German ownership of "The Mail" from
tthe Alien Property Custodian.
Frederick Powell, counsel for Dr..
Rumely, told Judge Mayer Of the
requirement of the efiewspaper on
what was known as the Walter Lyon
notes, which aggregated 81 10000 and
the formation of the s. S. Mcclure
Newspaper Corporation as a holding
company He said that the Lyon notes
were cancelled two years after the pun
chase of "The Mall
Mr.. Powell contendcd there was no
reason why his client should be tried
on the Washington Indictment, as the
indictment found in New York involved
exactly the same issue
1t is the governments theory that
the Indebtedness represented by the
Lyon notes was really an Indebtedness
to the imperial German government.
Assistant United States Attorney
Harold Harper, in explaining this and
asking for the dismissal of the writs,
said that it was in the discretion 6f

I'd to making war. The end of the war,
Mr.. Hurley declared, cannot be con-
sidered as having come until France
is entirely Tehabilitated commercially.
For twenty-five years. Mr.. Hurley
said, Germany had devoted 50 per cent
of her efforts toward commercial lines
and the remainder to building up her
great military machine. As no such
machine will be permitted in the flu

to commerce.
Say what you will about her meth

her whole effort devoted in the future
TO trade the other nations of the world
will have a formidable competitor, no
matter what restrictions it becomes
advisable to put in her path. To sol1e
this problem France must organize,
as she cannot meet it by relying ON
isolated individual efforts"
