EFFECT OF WAR On SAVINGS.
South Leads the Nation in Accumula-
ton of Money.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 5.-That the
Southern States, though having. pro-
portionately, a larger agricultural
population, are considerably III the
lead Of the New England and the
eastern States in the percentage CT
increased per capita savings since
1914 was announced by the War Loan
ORGANIZATION here today. The organ
iazticn has issued bulletin present
ing the comparative figures for the
several sections of the country for dis
cr:bution TO financial institutions IN
the Fifth Federal Reserve District.
In the thirteen Southern States
the average per capita savings OF
1918 showed s2673, per capita war
savings being $6.14 But since 1914,
1.-The total per capita savings in the
South increased approximately 45
per cent The increase in New Eng
land was 20.3 per cent; in the eastern
States. 10.7 per cent, and in the mid
die western States, 1913 per cent.
West Virginia leads the Southern
States with a per capita savings OF
S6892, and with a war savings per
capita of s10.25. It's increase since
1914 has been 1913 per cent
Three other Southern States are in
Guided in the Fifth Federal Reserve
District, their records being: Virgin
!, ia-total per capita savings .s44.89;
increase since 1914, AL per cent;
per capita war savings, S5.1S. North
Carolina-total per capita savings,
s2424; inrcease, 400 per cent; per
capita war savings $6.61. South Car
olina-total per capita, $33.49; IN
crease since 1914, SIT per cent; per
capita war savings, 1913:
Increased savings in the South are
considered of unusual significance
The per capita increase in the South
ern States in the last four years
shows a percentage mere than four
times as great as that in the Eastern
States and more than double that in
thrifty New England, though in the
New England and eastern States, due
to war industries, the total volume Of
savings was necessarily greatest. TAX
Ell as q whole the war savings OF
America and the general per capita
savings are greater, proportionately,
than in any other country.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Vice Presi-
dent Marshall, speaking tonight ne-
fore the National Press Club, de-
nounced Bolshevism and anarchy and
propounded what he termed q Few

II believe that the American e
public as Instituted by the fathers
constituted the finest system of gov-
ernment ever ordained among nen
ard affords the machinery for N"
righting of grievances without resort
to violence. tullult and disorder.

Il believe there is no justification
IN a government where officials arc
elected and laws made by the peo2is
Gor a minority to threaten b!oc&s;scd
