Should any have been inadvertently overlooked, will they please communicate at $100,000,000 on Books of War-Savings Funds The National War-Savings Com mittee issues the following: The war-savings fund to-day has a round $100,000,000 to its credit on the books of the Treasury. The stream q/ small savings is now pour ing into Uncle Sam's war chest at the rate of $700,000,000 a year, with every indication that the anticipated rate of $1,680,000,000 will be at tained soon after the Liberty loan drive. The Treasury war-savings figures record only the actual cash received, and not the pledged subscriptions for those securities, which, it is esti mated, are now in excess of $500,- 000,000, or about one-third of the total issue. The $100,000,000 cash fund now in the Treasury is the equivalent of 24,- 000,000 of the $5 "baby bonds," or 400,000,000 of the "two-bit" thrift stamps. The government is print ing 400,000,000 of the "baby bonds" enough to fill 20,000,000 war-savings certificates. Although figures are not yet avail able as to the number of Individuals who are carrying thrift cards in their pockets, and cutting down their own spending, in order that the gov ernment may spend more, the Na tional War-Savings Committee esti ates that at least 5,000,000 Ameri cans are now enlisted in the war savings army. The minimum goal is 40,000,000 war savers. It is expect ed that 10,000,000 of these will be In the schools.

MILLAR, Secy. Public Service Com. GEN*. JOHNSON LAUDS PATRIOTIC MOTHER Camp Upton, L. 1., March 20. — Brigidier General Evan M. Johnson turned from the stern realities of training an army division long enough yesterday to pay a soldier's tribute to the patriotic devotion of Mrs. M. E. Jenkins of Holladay, Tenn., whose son, Regimental Ser geant Major William B. Jenkins of the 304 th Field Artillery died in the camp's base hospital recently. He ordered a letter Major J. D. Whitham, commander of the base hospital,, had received from her to oe posted on every bulletin board in the camp. "It will serve as a model of pa triotism to the mothers of America," said the division commander, "ex emplifying, as it does, recognition of the national necessity which tran scends all present and private inter ests." Mrs. Jenkin's letter follows: "Allow me, as one who has lived until now I am an old woman, to express to you my thanks and ap preciation for your many courteries to me as mother of Sergeant-Major William B. Jenkins. T had hoped my boy would get his chance in France, but it was not to be, so I am as sub missive to his death as if he had died in* the trenches in Europe. "Please accept my thanks for all your kindness and to any of his com rades that were with in his sick ness. With a sad heart I dictate these lines, but with a quickening pulse and an acce'erated being I look forward to the day when victory shall come to the brave boys who are giving their lives for our beloved land. I shall ever love a soldier boy. May God's blessing bo on you!" MiBS Ruth Dowdell, of 1819 White i hall street, will visit in Philadelphia during the Easter holidays. M.E. CONFERENCE STANDS LOYALLY BEHIND NATION Resources Pledged That the United States May Win Righteous Cause That the authtoritics throughout i the country put clown with an "iron \ hand" the seditlouss meetings of pacifists in order that the name of free speech may not be used to poi son the wells of patriotic thinking is one of the requests made by the Central Pennsylvania Conference of tho Methodist Episcopal Church made public to-day. The document Is one of the most resolute, frank declarations made by any great body of citizens since America entered the war, pledging that the members of this church will not forsake the great cause until the liberty of man kind be secured. Following is the complete statement: "Sine the last session of the Cen tral Pennsylvania Conference the American nation has taken its place in the great world conflict. Wo deem It appropriate therefore that wo should put into formal expres sion profound sentiments, convec tions and motives that stir our souls and guide our conduct, both as in dividuals and its a great church. "I—Our Attitude "We are in this war not of our own desire or for our own gain. We could have grown richer and saved our sons for a time by keeping out of it. We are in this war to make safe tbe liberties of mankind. We fully believe that eventually we our selves would have been attacked on our own shores and pur liberties assailed. But even if Our liberties were safe we could not ehjoy them in smug satisfaction while the lib erty and democracy of the world were being trampled down under the iron heel of autocracy. Having drawn the sword in a holy cause, we will not lay it down until the liberty of the nation is secured, not by a 'scrap of paper,' but by the overwhelming and linal overthrow of autocracy; until not only Britain and France safe, but Belgium. Servia, Roumanla, Poland, battered and broken Russia, bleeding and crushed Armenia and all other peo ples involved are established in their liberties. "LI—Co-operation of Government "We record our deep sense of appreciation of the many marks we have reoelved of the Implicit confidence the Government has in the complete co-operation of the churches. The Government shall not be diappolnted. And we pledge ourselves and our people to the heartiest response to every call made upon us. We especially pledge our selves (a) to secure the maximum results In our schools, Dickinsen College and Williamsport Dickinson Seminary, for the immediate service of the country In the war and also for the leadership necessary after the war; (b) to secure the "largest possible response to the Govern ment's suggestions for the conserva tion of food, and we urge our pas tors to keep our people Informed on what these suggestions are and to impress upon them the fact that 'wheat will win the war'; (c) we further pledge ourselves as pastors to co-operate in every possible way with every movement in our sev eral communities. We will gladly take our places on the Liberty Loan, Red Cross or other committees and count It a joy to do our bit in every possible way. "Ill—Suggestions to Government "We would respectfully but ear nestly make the following sugges tions to the government: (a) That the authorities throughout the coun try put down with an iron hand the seditious meetings of the so-called pacifists, men and women who are either in German pay or are against everything we hold sacred. The name' of free speech must not be used to poison' the wells of patriotic thinking. lin this connection wo record our deep satisfaction with the prompt action of our church in dealing with the pro-German utter ances in a certain paper and school, (b) That the overwhelming and im perative demands of the country for war prohibition be granted. We have gladly pledged ourselves and people to conserve efood in every possible way, but. we submit, it is a gigantic blunder to waste the grain, coal and railywav service for booze, at the awful risk of losing the war. The call must not be only •Save the wheat and win the war,' but 'Cut out the booze and win the war.' "IV.—War-Time Committor "We desire to express our great satisfaction over the presence of Bishop Theodore S. Henderson at our conference session and our deep Interest in and sympathy with his utterances. And we pledge to him and to the War-Time Commission of the church which he represents our fullest and most hearty co-op eration in the plans announced for the May Drive For Patriotism. We will carry out the program to the letter, and we assure him that the Central Pennsylvania Conference will go "over the top." "V—Our Roll of Honor "We record the fact with pride and joy and tears that boys from our parsonages have enetered the Army and Navy, and that girls have gone as nurses, 'that liberty might not perish from the earth.' A great army of our young men from all our churches have responded to the country's call. We assure them all of our love and constant prayers. We earnestly recommend that every official board shall have a special committee which shall keep in lov ing touch with all those boys and girls and shall render every service to their loved ones. "Vl—Our Faith In Gml "We do not claim an exclusive knowledge of the will and plan of G be her hus band's companion. She must realize that, in the family, husband and wife are entitled to the same rights lin their common struggle for the n. m st. Easter Flowers A.
