WOLFE D'AMOUR HEARD AGAIN
Musical instrument Of the Past Has
Found Favor With Prominent
American Composers.

The viole d'amour Is a rlusical in
strument which had become practically
obsolete until Charles Martin Loeffier,
the American composer. wrote a part
for II In his dramatic poem. "La Morte
de Tintagiles." The instrument had
not been recognized since Bach placed
II In his orchestratlon OF "St. Johns
Passion" and Meyerbeer employed II
to accompany nm air In the first act
Of Les Huguenots." The unique fes-
ture Of the viole d'amour Is Its system
OF sympathetic strings. Beneath its
seven strings which are sounded with
a bow. are stretched seven steel strings
supposed to vihraie with the bowed
ones and enhance the power OF the
sound. The strings are tuned strictly
In the key of ID major. the lowest
string being the ID. one tone below
the Violin f string. Berlioz speaks Of
the Instruments sweet. seraphic
tone" IL Is said to be remarkably
adapted TO playing chords. arpeggios
and harmonics.

Changed Conditions.
1.-THE condition of the world in
which we live and of our country have
been wonderfully changed by this war.
Formerly, Whenever we wanted to
finance a great development project
in America we went to Europe for the
funds At the beginning of the war
Europe owned six billion dollars worth
of our securities. Today these have
been paid up and we hold practically
eight billion dollars worth of Europe's
promises to pay Think of what that
means! 1t means that when we need
money for our Governmental projects
or industrial development we cannot
60 to France or England for it. We
must get it in America. In order that
these necessary sums of money may
be available, we of America must Gre
ate new wealth, must eliminate waste,
must save-not few individuals but
the great mass OF our people must
save and thus amass the dollars that
will make possible our development
and prosperity.
The Governments Program,
with these facts in mind, the Gov
eminent has decided to carry on
widespread and intensive educational
campaign of Thrift and American1za-
ton. -.
"The War Savings Campaign of
1919 is the first step in this program.
The Treasury expects to realize this
year from the sale of War Savings
i Stamps a sufficient sum to materially
: assist In financing the war budget be-
| fore the end of the year. 81 >....:: ).
1.-THE Government hopes through the
T 1919 campaign, to establish Thrift as
q permanent habit Of the American
people for the lasting prosperity and
| enduring strength. Of the nation.
Regular saving Is the sound test
Of thrift and a sure foundation for in
vestment. The backbone OF the cam
! paign Is the War Savings society.

War Savings societies are being or.
ganized in all parts of the Ninth Fed
eral Reserve District as the first i'm
portant step in the national Thrift
campaign for 1919.
A. R. Rogers, Chairman of the Dis
trict War Loan Organization, predicts
that by the closing of Savings Society
Week, February "a, there will have
been organized at least 10000 active
societies for the encouragement of
thrift and the sale of government Sc
curities.
Asked for a statement of the aims
and plans of the 1919 campaign, A. R..
Rogers, Chairman of the War Loan
Organization, dictated the following:
"The fighting is over but our war
Job isn't finished. The world has
progressed thus far toward permanent
peace because America stepped in and
with her millions of men and billions
of money made it impossible for Au-
tocracy to win. By our marvellous pro-
duction of war materials and our abil-
ity to use them, we convinced Ger
many that a continuance of the fight
ing meant national suicide.
what if our American-made can
non, motor trucks, tanks, rolling
kitchens, airplanes, poisonous gases
and ammunition did not reach Europe?
They were in readiness and would
have gone into the lines in the spring.
Germany knew this. She was whipped
In spirit by the tremendous show Of
power displayed9 by America.
"Our production of these things
ended the fighting. They saved
money and hundreds of thousands of
precious lives. Now they have to be
paid for and they are cheap at any
price. Our Government must pay for
them and we must temporarily loan

must BE NO SAGGlNG'
R00SEVELT'S LAST PLEJ
Applies in Most Direct Manner to Pop.
u'ar Support Of Nations Finan-
cling Projects.

That Theodore Roosevplt's last plea
to America, There must be no sag
ging back" has the most direct appli-
cation to popular support of govern
ment financing projects, including sale
of War Savings Stamps was the state
ment made today by A. r. Rogers,
chairman of the central committee,
War Loan organization for the Ninth
Federal Reserve District
Roosevelt with his keen American
ism saw the possibility of sag CON-
ing with the actual fighting at an end
and was most earnest worker to
keep the hearts and thoughts of the
people placed right during the period
OF rebuilding the same as in the war
period" Mr.. Rogers said.
Every argument that applied to the
habit of thrift during the war applies
to it today. The personal benefit of
saving is as great as ever, the profit
from interest on the investment is still
as good as it was. The security of
any loan made to tho government was
unquestionable and today, with fight
Ing at an end and even the possibility
that Germany might triumph gone, it
is perfect.
when Roosevelt said there must
be no sagging' he meant that the hab-
its of right action developed by the
war must be continued. IT he had
been asked he would have said that
for the American earners to keep, for
their future benefit and the bene-
fit of their families, part Of
their earnings, was just as i'm
portant as any of the big national
policies. He would have said that to
the Garner and saver himself savings
are immensely important.
ITO stop saving and buying War
Savings Stamps today would be- as
bad for the man at home as it would
be for the soldier holding the Rhine
to go on duty from now on without q
rifle. Cashing the stamps now which
person has bought before, is simply
4 retreat, as if the army that fought its
way to victory should run back to the
Marine and beckon to the enemy to
pour into France once more"
