WAR IS PROVING BOON
TO POSTAL SAVINGS.
People of Foreign Birth- Are

From the very day hostilities oi*med
llcroHN t lit? SOUS JM>St?l SavlllgK receipts
began to Increase l>y leajw and bounds
ii ii' I withdrawals foil o ft, a result quite
contrary to the prediction* of many
well-informed persons who, in their im
aKlnation, huw lines of feverish depos
ltors at |H>st ot|l<'o pay windows flux
ion* U> again return t l???lr savings
the hoot-leg and body -belt depositories
whence they came before intrusted to
UnCle Mam. 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.

Ah the w?H?kn juikh the cxiauiditure
Ih hound to increase, for Germany la
coiiHtantly pouring more men Into the
field.
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
