THE WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN
By Theodore Roosevelt
Of Kansaa City Star
(Reprinted from the Kansaa City Star)
Of course the primary factor In de
ciding this war la and will be the
Army. But there can be no great army
In war today unless a great Nation
lands back of It The most Important
ot all our needs Is immensely to
strengthen the fighting line at the
front But Is can not be permanently
strengthened unless the whole Nation
is organised back of the front We
need Increased production by all. We
need thrift and the avoidance ot ex
travaganoe and waste ot money upon
nonessentials by all. We need the In
vestment ot our money In Government
securities by all of us.
The Government, through the War
Savings campaign, offers the oppor
tunity to every individual la the Na
tion, to Join In a great national move
ment to secure these ends. The Treas
ury Department proposes as a means
to achieve these ends that alt our peo
ple form themselves Into Thrift Clubs,
or War Savings Societies. This Is the
people's war. The responsibility for
the Government rests on the people
aa a whole. The Amy is the people's
.Army. It can be supported only if the
"people invest la the securities ot the
Government; and this investment by
the people should be aa nearly univers
al as possible. All the men, all the
Women, and halt the children ot the
land should be active members ot
Uncle Sam's team. The War Savings
campaign offers them the chance to
be active members. This campaign
means the encouragement ot thrift
and production.' But It means much
more than this. It also means to make
our people realize their solidarity and
mutual Independence and to make
them understand that the Government
is really theirs. Therefore, it is a
movement to fuse all our different
race stocks into one great unified
nationality. It Is emphatically a move
ment for nationalism and patritolsm.
Between thirty and forty millions
of our people today' own liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps. All
of ns who come in this class have an
Increased sense of loyalty and res
ponsibility to the Government The
Treasury Department has offered
through the War Savings plsn a great
opportunity for the entire Nation to
group Itself Into War Savings So
cieties or Thrift Clubs and thus be of
immediate and direct service to the
Government
Neither through Government pro
gram and traditions nor through the
hablta of the people were we in any
way prepared for this struggle. We
were a spendthrift Nation. One of the
roads to national unity and national
force in this ww Is through thrift-using-
the word to Include both in
creased production in every field, and
also the conservation of those things
which are so desperately needed for
the winning ot the war. The conscien
tious thrifty man today will conserve
food as requested by the Food Ad
ministration; he will conserve fuel
as requested by the Fuel Administra
tion; and he will conserve to the best
of his ability the labor and materials
;hich the Government needs by not
using his money for purchasing any
of the non-essentials and thereby 'js
Ing up materials and labor needed by
the Government He will, by purchas
ing Government securities, intrust
the spending of his money to the Gov
ernment in order to speed up the war
and to secure the peace of overwhelm
ing victory.
Let all 01 us join in mis move
ment The success of the War Sav
ings campaign means an immense ad
dition to our war strength. It also
means the first step in economic pre
(iarednees for what is to come after
the war. We must never return to our
haphazard spendthrift ways. Thrift
should be made a national habit as
part of our social and industrial re
' adjustment
We are just finishing our Red Cross
campaign. Now let -as put through the
War 6avlngs campaign.
that great corporation known as the
United States Government and wll
take more interest in its welfare and
In its development than ever before.
It is highly desirable that the cam
palgn for selling War Savings Stamps
and Liberty Bonds should be general
It will be better to have a thousand
cltltens buy $1 worth of War Savings
SUnips a piece than to have some one
individual buy $1,000 worth. It will be
better for the Government to sell its
bonds to many individuals in small
amounts than to have the banks and
the rich buy the securities in large
blocks.
Let us have a campaign that will
get everybody interested in buying
Government securities. Thus shall we
doubly help to win the victory over
the nations that seek to destroy de
mocracy throughout the world.
Remember that National War Sav
ings Day Is June 28. Pledge yourself
on or before that day to save to the
utmost of your ability and to buy War
Savings Sumps that there may be
more money, labor, and materials to
back up those who fight and die tor
you.
to Investors to put their money Into
dwellings. They fool that houses
long a good walk will never lack a
market or lie idle.
If good walks are built on only a
few streets, the tendency Is for the
vacant lots on these streets to be held
at high prices, which makes rents
high and discourages building. Whon
you extend good walks to the out
skirts, you encourage people to buy
lots in those neighborhoods at low
prices, and to build houses that can
be sold or rented without a heavy
charge tor carrying high cost land.
Walking to business becomes a
pleasure over a good firm surface. A
mechanic feels all the more ready
tor his day's work after exercise un
der favorable conditions. But It he
has to stub along over stones and
through dust and dirt and mud and
weeds his dsy's fatigue is ag.imant
ed. He decides that he must live
close to his work, even it he has to
pay a higher rent and put up with
poor quarters.
Sidewalk building does a lot to help
town to grow. It makes It feasible
tor people to llve at a considerable
dlsunce from their work. They are
not deterred from moving to a town
by the lack of suitable homes quite
near the place where they are em
ployed.
L
WAR PROBLEMS RESULTS
THE DIVINE
OF
History studenU will remember that
the Franco-German war of 1S.0 was
decided by the battle ot Sedan. By
forced marches the Germans surround
ed the principal French army, and
compelled its surrender. That is the
kind ot thing they have been working
to do In their drives ot the past three
months. But It Is a different proposi
tion. In 1870 the entire French army
included but 350,000 men. Now our
allies have at least 2,500,000 in France
The one chance in sight for any
such complete defeat lies In pushing
the English near Amiens, and back
ing them up against the Channel. The
fact that the Huns did not attack at
this one point where a real success
might seem possible, would indicate
that they did not dare to. It confirms
the belief that at this vital point the
English and. French have fully ade
quate forces.
Driving the allies back 35 miles
where they have open country to fall
back on. makes no progress toward
surrounding them. The attacking
party loses more men, though it may
make up for that by capturing guns
and other supplies.
The only thing to worry about such
an advance is tor fear they might get
hold of some important depot of sup
plies. But Is does not seem probable
that our allies would have any con
siderable portion ot their munitions
near enough the line to be in danger
of capture.
Arm chair critics blame the Eng
lish for not taking the offensive, and
doing to the Germans what is being
done to the English and French. But
as the Germans, by reason of Rus
sia's defection, must outnumber the
English and French by 500.000, this
would be a hazardous gamble now.
No doubt there will be one or two
more big drives of the same kind this
summer. But by September 1 the Am
erican troops will have made up the
losses of our allies. The Huns will
have had no means ot filling their
gaps.
SCARING US TO DEATH
The only thing Irregular about the
attack of German U boats on our
shipping, is that they tailed to have
it come the same day they were mak
ing their big drive In France. It will
be remembered that when they drove
before on March 21, they began the
same day bombarding Farls with their
io mile gun, and started their "subs
on a special attack. Their theory is
that by making these examples of
trlghtfulness all in one spectacular
stuck, they can terrify the entire
world into submission.
The American people however are
used to bluff games. They have met
bullies before. They refuse to be turn
ed from their purposes by efforts to
scare them out of their boots. They
will not be bulldozed nor terrorized.
The Germans should keep this crude
stuff for the easily fooled Russians.
There will be some shipping loss
es on this side of the ocean, but they
need not be heavy. They will be large
ly due to carelessness on the part ot
our sea captains. No doubt if the U
boats get thick in American waters,
it will be necessary to have coast
wise merchant ships convoyed, and
regularly patrolled lines ot naviga
tion established.
The ships that are sunk will be
mostly those that recklessly thing
they can ignore warnings and take
chances in dangerous territory. The
transports carrying our bops will be
practically safe, as there will be
enough destroyers at least to watch
over their voyages.
The U boats keep carefully away
from bur agile little war chasers. The
transports that have been torpedoed
were those coming home, or in one
case off the north coast of Ireland
outside ot the regular course to
France. So let not the home folks
worry much on this score.
ComplatnU are coming into the
Clackamas County Humane Society ot
people killing robins and other birds
with air guns, bean shooters, guns
and rocks. There Is a law against the
killing ot robins and stub birds, and
It Is the Intention of the officers and
members ot the Humaue Society to
keep a careful watch on these people,
and bring them to time. A few ot the
robins sr9 trying to got a ' handout"
on a tew cherries, and when doing so
have met their fate.
There are many more birds this
yenr than last year in Oregon City
and hundreds ot bird lovers are plac
ing food out tor them and fresh
water, where they are able to partake
ot cooling drinks and also enjoy a
bath. There are many yards in Ore
gon City, whor0 the birds visit esch
day and enjoy the cool plunge. At the
home ot Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bab-
cock on Thirteenth and Washington
Street Miss Anita McCarver, presi
dent ot the Clackamas County Hu
mane Society, has had Installed a
bathing pool tor the birds. It Is sur
prising to tee the large number ot
birds that comes there, tired and hot
and enjoy a dip in the coot waters.
The water is kept fresh during the
day. and they are given a supply ot
food.
These birds, aa well as others, have
been insect destroyers, and many
plants and rose bushes have been
benefited by their calls at the various
homes ot the city and farms ot Clack
amas county. !
A new species ot bird arrived in
Oregon City Sunday morning, and no
doubt will b0 a "god send" to owners
of the elm trees, where the elm tree
beetie has already attacked, and com
menced its deadly work. These birds
are larger than the common sparrow,
and are lively little creatures. They
have a black beak, and when alighting
on the elm tree, will at once com
mence to hunt for the insects, and if
these birds are encouraged, they will
be of much Importance to Oregon
City, where many handsome elm trees
sre ornaments to homes. The park ot
the Oregon City library hus a numbor
of handsome elm trees, and these have
already become infested with the in
jurious worm. These worms are work
ing "over time" in their destruction.
and the trees are again to be given a
coat of spray in order to rid the park
of the pest There are a number ot
other trees that are infested with the
elm beetle, among these fronting the
houses owned by A. W. Cheney on
Jefferson Street Last year these
trees were almost practically ruined
before the worms made their dluap
pearance, and the trees were stripped
of their foliage, and that which re
malned was changed to a dark brown
color, as if they had been scorched by
the sun's rays.

MEN AND MATERIAL
THE BIGGEST AND THE LITTLEST
THINGS IN THIS WAR
THE WELDING POWER OF WAR-SAVINGS
By John C. Shaffer,
Of the Chicago Evening Post
One of the greatest benefits that we
shall obtain from this war will be the
lesson of economy and of self-sacrifice.
He that glveth from the abundance
that he has is doing well. And he who
makes sacrifices in order that another
may live Is benefiting both bim that
receiveth and bim that giveth.
Another benefit from this war is
that It is teaching us to think nation
ally and not locally. ( Everything
thorughout the United States today
men and women, boys and girls are
thinking and working for the Nation.
In addition to giving their time they
are giving their money and savings.
We shall have a more strong and
unified Nation at the end of this war
than we had before it was begun. It
is of enormous advantage to the Na
tion to have the people buy the War
6avlngs Stamps out of their savings
because it links their mind and heart
Closer to the Nation's welfare. It Is
important and exceedingly beneficial
to have men and women buying Lib
erty Bonds, for this gives them a di
rect Interest in the welfare of the
country and makes them properly
watchful as to how their money is ex
pended. ;
Throogh this method ot financing
our national needs we are knitting
the people closer together and getting
more compact national life.
It will be much eaiser for us to
solve our economic problems and ad
just ourselves to new conditions after
tine war if all the people have invest
ed their savings in War Savings
Stamps and Liberty Bonds. They will
feel that tbey are stockholders In
Billions of dollars for armies, but
dimes and quarters for each soldier
War Savings Stamps may win the
war, and certainly will help win It
The president of the biggest bank
In the United States said that he was
used to figuring in millions, but that
his mind could not grasp billions. He
could imagine what sort of a shop,
or ship, or house, or hotel a million
dollars would build, but he could
form no sort of Idea of what could be
done with a billion.
Before this year is over this war
will have cost 200 billion of dollars
All the Bold ever mined is worth per
haps 15 billions. It would take 400
years to produce the cost of this war
in gold If every year produced the
largest sum of gold ever produced In
any one year. If the cost of this war
were spent In buildings, each as large
as the world's largest building, it
would make a street built up solidly
on both sides, running from New York
to Washington and miles farther.
If a true American held In his
power all that wealth he would give
it all for his life, and then would give
his life for the life of his country.
Nothing is so sure as that the tri
umph ot Kuiserism means the end of
the United States as known to us.
The result of the winning of the war
by the Kaiser would be that Ameri
cans would become like Germans. In
that case Americans, like the Ger
mans, would take orders to kill child
ren, to bombard churches with con
gregations praying within, to. sink
peaceful ships at sea, without notice
and without leaving a trace, and in
fact to break laws and treaties, or to
do any abhorrent thing for the sake
of the "State." That sort of America
would be unworthy of Washington or
Lincoln, or any American who has in
herited the traditions of their glorious
lives, so different from the Kaiser's.
There are just two ways to win this
war, by men, and by material. We
could send against the Hun trenches
such an overpowering force, division
after division pouring on the defenders
like a flood, that the enemy would
have to yield to the superior force of
numbers.
Or you can beat them by the over
whelming strength of material. The
latter will be cheaper. It will cost
more dollars at the start. But It will
save us many lives and end the war
so much quicker, that it is the prefer
able theory and the cheapest In every
way.
We should get every man possible
across, as they will all be needed. But
we must not forget that numbers do
not count In this war so much as
material. A lack of complete and
abundant equipment will prolong the
war and cause added loss of life. We
should lay out the most ambitious
plans for a tremendous supply of
everything needed to blast the Boche
out of his diggings. The army should
be given a supply of deadly weapons
far In excess of what any army has
had.
We need big guns by the thousands
an unlimited supply of high explosive
shells, and abundance of airplanes
and machine guns, and particularly
a vast supply or bomos to drop over
munition warehouses and trench lines
'inis means tne creation or more
plants for production of this material
We must concentrate more of our In
dustrial work on war production
Hundreds of factories that are turn.
Ing out a peace time product should
be provided with the means of getting
out war work. An abundant supply of
material will win the war with
great saving of life.
PARTY WILL IE!
WALKING CONDITIONS
Highway construction and main
tenance has long been one of the
principal items of municipal expend
iture in Oregon City and everywhere
else. It usually comes second to
schools. But sidewalks in most places
are only a minor item. That is, while
the great majority of the people are
forced to depend upon their feet to
get about, we only spend a small
amount on providing good walking
conditions.
Good sidewalks have a marked
tendency to encourage building. A
street thus Improved is an invitation
D. W. F. Amos, vice chairman of
the Prohibition party of Oregon, has
fixed June 29 as the time for holding
the state convention of the party. It
will be held at the Imperial hotel.
The purpose of the convention is
two-fold to maintain the organlza
tion by nominating candidates or in
dorsing candidates already nominated
by other parties and to outline
program that wllll aid In the ratlfl
cation of the federal prohibition
amendment.
Most of the prohibitionists of the
state are said not to be favorable to
the merging of the party in the state
with the National party, as suggested
recently at Chicago.
ALLEGES DESERTION
Minnie Clifton brought divorce pro
ceedings against her husband, W,
Clifton, Thursday, charging desertion,
alleged to have occurred in June of

MOSS PADS FOR R, C.
With the arrival of supplies and di
rections from the Seattle Red Cross
Chapter, the local branch Is again
hard at work making hosplul acces
sories. During the past two weeks
the girls of the Honor Guard have not
been meeting with the Red Cross
workers on Monday nights, as custom
ary, but with the arrival of the long
expected supplies it Is announced
that they will again be on duty to
morrow night. The present occupa
tion of the Red Cross hero Is the
manufacture of sphagnum moss pads,
for use In the hospitals. This moss,
gathered In the marshes of the Ore
gon and Washington coasts. Is an
Ideal absorbent, and Is highly valued
for bandages and pads. It Is stated
that pads made from thla moss will
absorb more than 20 times their
weight
The Honor Guard officers are desir
ous thnt a good attendance of mem
bers be rerordud at the Monday night
meeting. They also extend an Invita
tion to all patriotic citizens to aid In
the work.
