A Campaign. For
Thrift And Savings

Messrs z. E. Bellah, C. B. Sherwood
and NJ. A. Townsend, Special Repre-
sentatives of the United States
Treasury, arrived in Greenwood Mon
day and will conduct an educational
campaign for Thrift and savings dur
ing the next few days. The Govern
ment believes that it would be
crime almost calamity, to encourage
Thrift for year under war time con-
ditions, with such welcome tangible
results as are evident, then permit our
people to lapse back into prodigality
like that which characterized us as a
Nation before the war; hence this
campaign to encourage the wage earn
ef to save small amount of his
earnings Systematically for any en-
ergency that may arise. Any man or
woman who is systematic saver is
happier, more contented, far better
employee and indeed better citizen.
The Representatives of the Treasury
Department purposes to form Thrift
Clubs in every place of business where
five or more are employed. The only
qualifications necessary to become a
member of Thrift Club is to save a
stipulated amount weekly or monthly
for ones own use.

CANNOT STAND
ENEMY ATTACKS
More Than One Month Longer, Is
Opinion British Military Experts
Concerning Russian BOlsheviki
Associated Press

LONDON, Nov. 12-British mill
tary experts believe the Russian Boil
sheviki cannot withstand the onslau-
ghts of their enemies longer than one
month and that something definite is
likely to happen in the Russian cam
paign by December l.
1t is pointed out that the Bolshe-
Wiki have employed German tactics In
moving men from one front to an
other with more or less success but
that recently each success has been a
little less marked than the precious
one and that it is reasonable to sup
pose that such tactics in the end
must break down unless one enemy
is completely subdued. When the Boil
sheviki centered against Kolchak
some months ago and drove him back
700 miles, their southern front was
left weak whereupon General Deni-
kline started his advance which has
resulted in clearing up south Russia.
The ,Bolsheviki have withdrawn
many men from the Kolchak front,
giving the Admiral chance to ad-
vance. In the meantime the western
front has become menace to Bolshe-
vism. The British experts realized
they no longer could hold back their
enemies on three sides and maintain
the force in northern Russia also.

IS ALMOST AT
A STANDSTHL
Factory Production, Railroad Trans
port Irregular, Stores Bare OF
Stocks, Etc. In Bosnia.
Associated Press

SARAJEVO, BOSNIA, Nov. 12-3
Bosnia may be long time recovering
from the effects of the war. Factory
production is almost at a standstill,
railroad transport is irregular and
uncertain, stores are bare of stocks,
imports are much reduced, clothing
and food are high in price, and there
is much idleness among the people.
The crops this year, however, are
abundant and there is sufficient food
to meet all needs.
The German and Hungarian signs
which formerly appeared above the
store windows have given place to
placards in Serbian, and Sarajevo has
taken on quite the appearance of a
Serbian town. The Serbian inhabi-
that's are of course quite content with
the Belgrade government, but the
Germans, Austrains and Turks are not
quite so happy. There is disposi-
ton, however, to accept conditions as
they are and to hope for resumption
of the commercial activity and advan-
tages which the people enjoyed at the
hands of the Austrains. The 4iends
of the Serbs and Judgo-Slaf hope
that with time the Serbian govern
ment will be able to match the pros
perity ond progress which the Aus
trains and Germans brought to the
country.
Among the population America en-
joys great prestige and respect. This
is 1argelf due to the timely help
brought to the country by the Ameri-
can Red Cross and the United States
Food Administration. Until the ar
rival fthese relief agencies, Ameri-
| cans had never before appeared in
Bosnia in any considerable number.
/ The presence of the officers of the
Red Cross and the Food Administra-
ton has had. splendid moral and
/ educational effect among the Bosn-
] ians Much of the rancor and harsh
] feeling engendered by the war has
] been removed, and through the work
1 of these Americans the larger part o1
! the people now look upon the United
States as a friend. not as foe.
