RUSSIAN MASSES LIKE MUSIC
Interesting Phase OF Present Life Is

LOndon.-One of the most interest
Ing phases of, life In Russia since the

throngs theaters and concerts.

former days has almost entirely disap-

has taken its place is new public

they sit as reverently us though they

VALUE OF SAVINGS
BECOMES APPARENT
One Of Great Lessons Of War 10 That
OF National and Individual Thrift
Now Rapidly Growing

Now that the new German govern
meNt has accepted the inevitable, and
has officially signed the peace terms
4 ctated by the allies and the coun-
tries associated with them, the great.
est and most disastrous war that ever
scourged the world is ended.
For nearly Ave years the world has
been topsy-turvy. The things that
were needed yesterday are no longer
required, and the activities of the
great war establishments and NUM-
tion plants are being diverted to the
There must now be a readjustment.
Governments that have thought in bill
lions and spent money with a lavish
hand, must retrench and think in mil
lions and even smaller amounts, and
must gain a new perspective.
Viewed in the retrospect the part
played by America in the great world
war is one Of the most glorious chap
ters in history. And in the making Of
this brilliant history the plain Amer-
Can citizen played a stellar role. The
moUatains of munitions, the equip
ment for the millions Of soldiers, the
great ships that carried the men
acres the ocean, could not have been
provided had not the common people
OF America provided the money.
Much Of this money was obtained
through the sale OF Liberty Bonds
and War Savings and Thrift Stamps.
This great volume of money has not
been wasted First it brought perma-
nent peace to the world, and now that
real peace is here, every cent that was
80 invested will come back to those
who aided their government, and it
VIII come back with interest.
THIS war that is now happily ended
has taught the people the value Of saw
Ing. They went into the saving
game as much through patriotism As
anything else. But now that they are
re- ing the returns, and see that what
tA5 did with a patriotic motive 10 a
real foundation for future fortune,
they have gained a new confidence in
the country, and they will continue
to lny the securities the Treasury De-
par'ment offers, and will make the
