The Closing of All Saloons. Rum
sellers Ask for Injunctions.

sellers Ask for InJunctlons.
Enforcement of wartime prohibi-
ton under the legislation passed by
congress begins throughout the Unit
ed States today. 1t is claimed by
''dry" lawyers that, as soon as the
law goes into effect, ITS per cent.
beer will be illegal, and federal au-
thorities can seize at once, as public
nuisances, under the law, every sa-
loon or establishment where 2.75
beer is sold, or any other. beverage
which contains more than the new
legal maximum of one-half of one
per cent. alcohol.
Injunctions and other court pro-

War Savings societies are being or

trict War Loan Organization, predicts

Asked for a statement Of the aims
and plans of the 1919 campaign, A. K.
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

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 displayed by America.

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

Changed Conditions.
"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 bislion dollars worth of Europes
promises to pay Think of what that
means! 1t means that when we need
money for our Governmental projects
or industrial development we cannot
go 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 Americaniza-
ton.
1.-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
Stamps a sufficient sum to materially
assist in financing the war budget be-
fore the end of the year.
1.-THE Government hopes through the
1919 campaign to establish Thrift as
a 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.
I'm this great Ninth Federal Re
serve District we hope to do our full
share. Our people have never failed
to respond to the call OF duty, ana
