COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS
ENDORSE THRIFT

BY unanimous vote the convention
of the United Commercial Travellers,
in session at Cumberland, Nd, re-
Gently endorsed the Thrift and Saw
ings Movement of the United States
Treasury Department. The conven-
ton was attended by leading travel
ing men from the district which en-
braces Virginia, West Virginia, Ken
lucky and Maryland. Not only was
the movement given endorsement, but
the convention pledged itself to do all
in its power to advance it. 1t was
the sense of the convention that thrift
should become a national habit, mas
much as the great promise of Amer
ica's industrial and commercial power
lies in the ability Of the people to
conserve the country's resources and
supervise expenditures of material
and money with careful minds.

ARMED INTERVENTION.

1t is believed President Wilson
will ask Congress for men and
money sufficient for an Intervention
IN Mexican problems.
This country has stood the as
saults and insults of Mexicans until
forbearance ceases to be a virtue.
Word has gone out from the War
Department that United States in
terests in Mexico would be pro-
tected.
