He said the extension was essential to provide the men needed to bring the war to a quick conclusion. After completing his statement be fore the full committee, Secretary Baker was questioned by the subcommittee investigating the airplane situation. In a brief statement to newspapei men before entering the committee room the secretary said the order issued yesterday supending all arm> and navy enlistments until definite action is taken on the manpower bill (ioes not apply to any person who had taken stens nrior to the issuance of the order to enlist or enter a military training camp.

S. campaign: "With reports incomplete. It now seems likely that as a result of the June lutein sive W. S. S. campaign nearly $15,000.0^0 worth of War Savings Stamps have been purchased and pledged. The war savings movement will, of course, be pushed vigorously until December 31, by which time the state's quota for the year will have been purchased. In the meantime, we wish to acquaint the people of South Carolina with the splendid results effected by the campaign and which do not plainly show in the cold figures: "Several hundred thousands of men and women? more than have been reached in any previous war campaign have voluntarily pledged to help win the war by saving and by lending their savings to the government; thousands of men. women. and children have started saving who never saved before: the practice of thrift has been encouraged in a way tit at will have a permanent effect; a splendid foundation iias been laid for meeting the economic problems that peace will bring: the sacred principles for which America and her Allies are pouring out their blood and treasure, and the necessity of carrying on to victory the war against German aggression have been brought forcibly and convincingly home v - ?

For these results, aside from the millions of dollars loaned to the government. the June campaign wa? fully worth the effort. The people now realize that when they do without noifc-eesential articles and lend the money thus saved to the government, they are releasing labor and material needed in prosecuting the war. "The great popular success of the campaign is due to several causes: Ho the winthe-war spirit which animates the people of South Carolina: to the loyal and un- , tiring efforts of thousands of devoted workers; to the patriotic zeal which imbues the county chairmen and their efficient coworkers; to the splendid co-operation of the press, the pulpit, and the public forum in conveying the War Savings message so ably and forcefully; and to the many patriotic advertU- j ers who donated their adv?r- S Using space for presenting * the W.
