From the very day hostilities opened across the seas postal-savings receipts began to increase by leaps and bounds aud withdrawals fell off, a result quite contrary to the predictions of many well-informed persons who, in their imagination, saw lines of feverish de- positors at post-office pay windows anxious to again return their savings to the boot-leg and body-belt deposi- tories whence they came before in- trusted to Uncle Bam, But the fore- casters failed to reckon on the abso- late confidence of the American eiti- zn, regardless of the flag that first met his eyes, in the ability and pur pose of the Government to carry out its obligations, pot only among the nations of the earth, but with the humblest citizan of our land. Two important results have follow- ed ; thousands of people, largely of foreign birth, accustomed to send their eavings abroad, are now patrons of our postal-saviogs system ; and enormous sums of actual cash have been released for commercial uses among our own people at a time when he need for every available dollar is pressing. The growth of postal savings in the United Btates has been steady and healthy and the sys'em has filled an important gap between the tin-can depository and the factory paymaster. On July 1, when affairs were running smoothly here snd abroad and the transmission of money across the At. lantic was safe and expenditious, there was approximately $43,000 000 of post- al savings standing to the credit of about 355 000 depositors. Bince then over $10,000,000 of deposits have been added and the number of depositors has increased enormously, This un- precedented gain is the more striking when it is considered that the net gain in the last three months is larger than the gain for the entire fiscal year 1914 Scores of offices have done more post- al-savings tusiness since the war has been going on than was done by them luriog the previous existence of the service, The increases are confined to no special localities, but have been felt in every nook sod corner of the country. New York Uity alone made a gain io September of more than a million, while Brooklyn showed a relatively big increase. Chicago re- ported a larger gain in the past three mouths than for the previous twelve months. More than 7,000 pew ac counts were opened during the period, bringiog the number of depositors in that city up to over 21,000, The unexpected incresse in postal- savings business bas not oply added greatly to the g neral administrative duties of the system, but has brought up many new and ioteresting probe lems which have called for the careful personal consideration of Postmaster General Burleson and Governor Dockery, Third Assistant Postmaster General. But their task has been lightened somewhat by the prompt- ness of depository banks In furnishing additional security to meet the ab- normal deposite. A number of the very la.gest banks in the country, which have heretofore declined to qualify ss depositories for postal-sav- ings funds, are now among the eager applicants for them, ———————— A ————————— To Feed a Hunting Party, Do you know what it requires to feed sn army of deer hunters during their two weeks’ tramp in the moun- tains?
