Hut the forecasters failed to reckon on the absolute confidence of the American citizen. regardless of the Hag that lirst met his eyes, in the ability and purjsise of the Govern ment to carry out its obligations, not only among the nations of the earth, but with the humblest citizen of our land. Tyvo important results have follow : ed : thousands of people, largely of foreign birth, accustomed to send their savings abroad, are now patrons of our |k>HtaMti rings system ; and enormous sums of actual cash have been released for commercial uses among our own people at a time when the nfted for ev ery available dollar Is pressing. The growth of postal savings in the United States has been steady and healthy and the system has filled an Important gap between the tin-can de pository and the factory paymaster. On July 1. when affairs were running smoothly here ami abroad apd the transmission of money across the At lantic was safe and expedition^, there was approximately $43,000,000 of pos tal savings to > the credit of about 388, 000 depositors. Since then over $10. 000, tHM) of deposits have lieen added and the number of depository has In creased enormously. This unprece dented gain Is the more striking when (t is Considered that the net gain in the last three months Is' larger than the gain for the entire fiscal year 1011. Scores of othces have done more postal savings business since the war has been going on than was done by them dur ing the previous existence of the ser vice. The increases are confined to no special localities, but have been felt In every nook and corner of the coun try. New York City alone made a gain In September of more than a mil lion, while Brooklyn showed a relative ly big increase. Chicago reported a larger gain In the past three months than for the previous twelve months. More than 7,000 new accounts were ofiened during the period, bringing the number of depositors in that city up to over 21,000. The unexpected increase in postal savings business has not only added greatly to the general administrative duties of the system, but has brought up many new interesting problems which have called for the careful per sonal consideration of Postmaster Gen eral Hurleson and Governor Dookery, Third Assistant Postmaster General. Hut their task has been lightened some what by the proippteuess of depository banks in furnishing additional security to meet the abnormal deposits. A number of the very largest banks In the country, which have heretofore de clined to qualify . as dejKisitors for pos tal-savings funds, are now among the eager applicants for them.

In many talkw with manufaeturerH, 1 merchants, clerkn, iiotelkeei>erH, teach era, noblemen, noldierH, and HervantH I lulve not heard one word of complaint against the financial burden of the war. On the contrary, the iieople of all eliiHHen lake an ImmeiiHe pride in tlio fact that the War hondH of 1 1-2 mil la rdw ($4,500,000,000) were heavily ov erHCrlbed. When1 a man cannot give money he gl,ven service. A Herman who was once u govern ment official, but in now living in re tirement, has a weak besit H,$ W?M anxiou to Join a party of youth* and farm laborers who were going into the fields to gather in the harvest an# pre pare the ground for ne<t planting Hia' doctor forbade any such exertion. The methodical German worked out a graded system of hi* own. He went into the lleldH. On the first day he worked two hours and felt no bad effects. The second day he remaiu- ! ed three bourn with the harvesters. The third day he added another hour, and ao on up to the fifth day, when he wbn able to work alx hours. "And" Ho," ,?aid the German who told the story? -"and ho all goes well !" The doctor's offended professional Hcn.se at t^i- conduct of his patient is said to have been considerably allayed by the fact that this conduct contribu ted something to "the cause." < If Germany wins thln> war an en la rued i kmihIoii system Is to l>e part of the fruits of victory, and It will be based, of course, on indemnities levied upon conquered nations. In most. In stances the pensions paid to disabled veterans of the Franco-Prussian war are pitifully meager, and that lias long been a source of national dissatisfac tion. The amazing fact has lately been brought out that as recently as 1870 various German cities were just clean ing up bond Issues made necessary by tributes levied upon them by Napoleo^ more* than half a century before. In the early weeks of the war the talk of "the man In the street" was for the levying on France of an indemnity of 15 mlllards. The figures have risen during the last month. "Fifteen milliards?" said a German officer; "be assured my friend, it will be nearer thirty." Everybody talks In the larger figures now. On September U9 it was estimated that Germany had already captured 2, 000 cannon ? as many as It took from France In 1870 and 1871. I saw a park of ten captured French guns in a Held on the outskirts of Mau l>euge. Two German sentries were per performing the dull duty of guarding the cannon, and they beamed with re lief when John McCutCheon promised that he take their picture, Meanwhile a German officer survey ed the trophies with a condescending eye. "They are not much good," he said. ?They made a fine show, though,- and one could foresee that they would pro vide a picturesque rumble in Unter den Linden in the event of a triumphant return to Berlin. The officer thought )>etter of three ;Frcneh heavy guns -which the Germans had loaded onto flat cars in the freight yarns a^ Miiubeuge. Manifestly, there was more service In them, and they were soon to be moved to the firing line. More remote iu?rts of the freight yards were strewn with other pieces of captured artillery, (mt on them the earlier verdict was passed ? "not much good." On the whole,* however, the Germans seem to respect the French artillery and the servWig of It. "Their artillery is goo/ " said an officer at Laon, "but their infantry is jio good. Their men jump up and lire wild. There Is noth ing In that." Remember The Orphan*. The Thormvell Orphanage, Clinton, S. (\, has 300 orphans to care for. Ev ery Presbyterian In the state should wend a Thanksgiving contribution to aid in earing for them. The low price of cotton Is affecting every benevolent educational, and public enterprise, but the cotton is here and will seW for what It is worth after a while. It sold at four and a half cents In 1898. How ever, the orphans cannot wait very long for their dally bread. Fire originating from a cigar stub thrown in some hay, caused a $125,000 flre In the Kansas Wty stock yards Saturday. Thirty acre* of cattle pens were destroyed. ? V* ? ? ? VULCANIZING.
