WAR AFFECTS POSTAL SAVINGS
of foreign birth, accustomed to send
their savings abroad, are now pa
trons of our postal savings system;
and enormous sums of actual cash
have been released for commercial
uses among our own people at a
time when the need for every avail
able dollar is pressing.
Tbe growth of postal savings in
tbe United States has been steady
and healthy and the system has
filled an important gap betweeu the
tio-can depository and the factory
paymaster. On July 1, when af
fairs were running smoothly here
and abroad and tbe transmission ot
money across the Atlantic was safe
and expeditious, there was approx
imately $43,000,000 ot postal sav
ings standing to tbe credit of about
388,000 depositors. Since then over
$10,000,000 of deposits have been
added aud the number of depositors
has iucreased euormously. This
unprecedented gain is tbe more
striking when it is considered that
the net gain iu the last three
months is larger tbau the gain for
the entire fiscal year 1914 Scores
ol offices have done more postal sav
ings business since the war has
been going on than was done by
them during the previous existence
ol the service. The increases are
confined to no special localities, but
have been felt iu every nook and
corner ol the country. New York
City alone made a gaiu in Septem
ber of more than a million while
Brooklyn showed a relatively big
increase. Chicago reported a larg
er gain in the past three months
than for the previous twelve months.
More than 7,000 new accounts were
opened during the period, bringing
the number of depodtors in that
city up to over 21,000.
The unexpected increase in pos
tal savings business has not only
a 'ded greatly to the general admin
istrative duties ol the system, but
has brought up many new and int
eresting problems which have called
for the careful persoual considera-
tiou of Postmaster General Burleson
and Governor Dockery, Third As
sistant Postmaster General.
But
their task has been lightened some
what by the promptness of deposi
tory banks in furnishing additional
security to meet the abnormal de
posits. A number of the very lar
gest banks in the country, which
have heretofore declined to qualify
as depositories for postal-savings
funds, are now among the eager
applicants for them.
Postmaster Linegar, of tbe Co
quille office says that he can not
trace to the war any effect on the
postal savings business in his office.
The number ol depositors has re
mained the same, while tbe aggre
gate deposits have increased some
what. He says that the most of
the deposits here seem to come from
foreigners, aud he accounts for this
partly by the fact that native born
Americans, being more familiar
with business conditions, can get a
higher interest on their money than
is paid on the postal deposits. It
is probable also that Americans be
ing less settled in their habits and
plans are more inclined to keep
their surplus in checking deposits,
so as to be ready for any investment
opportunities that may come along.
Their less frugal habits, too, make
the small interest paid on deposits
seem hardly worth considering, and
they are more inclined to take a
chance on any money they have to
loan by placing it whete the rate is
higher.
There are nine accounts now open
in the Coquille office, and the
amount on deposit is $2071.00.

Eastern Correspondent
(By J. E. Jones)
New York City, Oct. 27— There
are tbe same eager crowds in front
of the newspaper offices as there
were a month ago when I wrote my
first letter from here.
Morning,
noon, evening or midnight— it
makes no difference at Times or
Herald square, as many ol these
people who scan the boards, and
buy up the "E xtras” for news, have
brothers and fathers engaged in
this deadly snuggle that is going
on in Europe, and the very scenes
of the world’s greatest battles are
on tbe identical ground where
many of these people we meet
here spent their childhood.
At Wasbiugton war is an eco
nomic condition that must be met
in such a way as to entail the smal
lest possible burden on the Ameri
can people —in New York war is a
real tragedy that affects not only
the lives aud happiness of a great
portion of the citizens of the me
tropolis, but it demoralizes business
as well.
The Vaterland, greatest ship in
the world, is still the center of a big
group of German boats that have
remained tied to their docks since
the last of July; and while German
commerce remains at a standstill
British cruisers have been maintain
ing a blockade ot the port of New
York
As time goes on the public
is inclined to take a more dispas
sionate view of events, and in con
sequence there is less talk of tbe
brutality of soldiers at the front,
since it seems to have been Deter
mined that whatever complaint
there might have been on that score
relates to individual instances and
the French and English here have
ceased to reproach the Germans
and Austrians; while the Germans
aud Austrians are willing to admit
in talking with the French and
English that the earlier reports con
cerning these matters were greatly
exaggerated. They all agree that
"war is bell" but the day of mud
slinging among the non-combat
ants has grown quite unpopular, as

itical campaigning iu the United
States.

The Washington government pre
vented American bankers from
making a war loan to France, thus
emphasizing that we are neutral,
and need our gold as well.
Much
has been said about the damage in
flicted upon foreign commerce; but
that it is ati ill wind that blows no
good is indicated by the fact that
the puns aud ammunition business
is booming on this side of the water
and the Allies are crowding tbe
American manufacturers to the lim
it. The Bethlehem Steel Works has
received a $5,000,000 order for war
automobiles from Russia; aud the
9ame ccnntry has purchased 180
motor cars and i,000,000 pairs ot
socks for its soldiers, and 1,000.000
horse shoes since the war broke out.
England has likewise been a good
customer, and among her orders
has been one for 100,000 cotton
night gowns for King George’s
soldiers. France has come through
with an order for 500,000 reels of
barbed wire, and this ought to lead
to the suspicion that the French
have been reading up ou the story
of San Juan Hill.

T h e American Trans-Atlantic
fleet now consists of six ships, and
in addition there are ships in the
South American trade. These boats
are popular because the stars and
stripes are not apt to be molested
on the high seae- And yet, what
is in effect a blockade of the port of
New York by a squadron ot British
war craft and cruisers has been so
annoying that even British ship
ping interests have complained of
the activities of their own govern
ment. The New York Sun de
clares "steamships under neutral
colors sneak into the Hook by bug

limit.” The same article tells how
Captain Anderson declined to "haul

British squadron; and at tbe risk of
