Some folks cr i t ic ise t h e policy of going" to the people of iMJchigan fo r $70,000,000 in W a r Sav ings pledges on the heels, of the Thi rd Liber ty Loan and Red Cross drives.

Dr ive these f ac t s home : 1. The Gove rnmen t has a l r eady

spent t h e ent i re proceeds of the Third L i b e r t y Loan. In fact , t h e loan was t a r g e l y spen t in advance by tempora- r y b o r r o w i n g by cer t i f ica tes of indebt- edness sold to banks.

2. The June income and corpora- t ion t axes have a l so been spent in ad- vance .

3. [n Ju ly cer t i f icates of indebted- ness wi l l be sold ii~ ant ic ipat ion of the F o u r t h L ibe r ty Loan. In o ther words , Uncle S a m is bor rowing money to t ide h im over unt i l pay-day.

4. I t is absolu te ly necessary to get th is $2,000,000,000, which the Govern- m e n t is depend ing upon from Wa~ S tamps .

5. This is War ! W a r is hell[ And t h e r e is no reason why the soldiers should ge t all the hell.

REASD $ FOR TiE WAR SAViN6S PLEDGES

This Is a W a r (ff Nat ions and E v e r y o n e i~ Land Must

De His Share .

D u r i n g the p resen t intensive W a r Sav ings campa ign we a r e asked by the P r e s i d e n t and by Secre ta ry Mc- Adoo to p ledge ourseh, es to save and w i th our savings to buy at definite t imes a specific a m o u n t of War Sav- {ngs S tamps . W h y should we be called upon to do this and w h y should we do it ?

We a re called up to do it because, as President Wilson says, this 'is a war of nations, not of armies, and ev- eryone in the land must do his share. So far moreth'an 2,00~,000 men have gone into the Army and Navy and I,- 000,000 more are to join before August i. These 3,000,000 men give themselves as their donation to the war. The remainin~ 97,000,000 people left a5 home must give something else as their share.

This sav ings p ledge gives the stay- a t -homes an oppor tun i ty for service. We are asked to pJed~e ourseh-e,~ to save and economize, ~o use labor and

l m a t e r i a l s only as necess i ty demands. and to inves t our savings in War Say/ ings S tamps .

The Gove rnmen t asks us to do this because the amoun t of labor and ma- t e r ia l s in the coun t ry is l imited; t h e r e is no t enough of e i the r to pe rmi t us to use it in the same f ree way as we did in peace t imes and a t the same t ime to leave enough in the marke t s fo r the use of the Government . I t is p/~rely a quest ion of supply and de- mand . I f we use the supp ly the Gov- e r n m e n t does not have it for w a r needs. And the smal le r the amount the G o v e r n m e n t has for use the long- e r will the w a r last. T h a t is the pri- m a r y reason fo r the savings cam- pa ign .

But t h e r e is ano the r side to the quest ion. The Government asks us to p ledge ourse lves to save to he lp win the war . I t does not ask us to give i t a n y t h i n g except our co-operation. In r e t u r n f o r our help we receive a Gov- e r n m e n t secur i ty which pays us a good r a t e of in te res t .

I f we do as the Government asks, algd as w e should, this , then, will be t he r e su l t : (1) We shal l buy only those t h i n g s nece s sa ry to main ta in us in the bes t of hea l t h and spirits; (2) by r e f r a i n i n g f r o m b u y i n g unnecessa- r y things ' we shal l l eave in the mar - ke t s f o r Gove rnmen t use a g r e a t e r supp ly of labor and mate r ia l w i th w h i c h to win a quicker v ic tory; (3) by no t f r i t t e r i n g ouP m o n e y away on t h i n g s t h a t do not m a k e f o r efficiency we shall keep ourse lves in be t t e r h e a l t h and increase our powers of pro- duct ion; (4) by inves t ing our savings in Wal~ Sav ings S tamps w e shall be p u t t i n g as ide fo r those days which in- ev i t ab ly come, if we live long enough, t h e m e a n s to g r e a t e r happiness.

W h e n so much can be accomplished by joining" in th is W a r Savings cam- pa ign , w h y should we not do it ?

Whi le the t ruck was be ing loaded, the cars to t ake the Guards were beginning" to assemble . By the t ime each car had been filled wi th gasol ine and oil, the company was r eady to s ta r t .

A short stop w a s made in Bad Axe to load addi t ional supplies. The las t lap of the t r ip was made in good t ime, Lts. Hel le r and Fa r re l l and 1st Sgt .

In the a f t e r n o o n , the Case City Band who accompanied the Guards on Sunday, r ende red a musical pro- ~ r a m for the benefi t of the Company and camp visitors. At five o'clock as- sembly was again blown and the Company fell in for a short drill fol- lowed by "Retreat" and "To the Col- ors" at 5:30. Evening" mess was at six o'clock and from then until 9:30 every man was free to go where he wished. At I0 o'clock "Taps" was sounded and everyone had to be in bed w i th all l ights out except those on g'uard duty.

The date has not been definitely de te rmined , but the d rawing probably will be Thursday or Fr iday, depending upon the time the final complete repor ts are rece ived f rom dis tr ic t boards.

The procedure to be followed, it was s ta ted officially Monday, will be s imilar to tha t of last year , wheI~ near ly 10;000,000 men were g iven their relatives places in the draft .

The same bowl will be used with capsules conta in ing number s up tc the l a rges t number of r eg i s t r an t s in any dis t r ic t in the country.

Last year 10,500 capsules we re pr~' vided, but the number this y e a r will be much smaller , and it is expected the drawing will be comple ted much more quickly.

The lottery system is based on th~ select ion of mas te r number~, each oi which governs similar numbers in ev- ery one of the 4,500 local district~ over the country.

Employers o:f Labor There is a certain munitions factory in England, where young

women and girls do practically all the work. Several t imes ~here have been disastrous explosions in ~his factory.

Sh i f t s of girls coming to work saw the mangled bodies of the un fo r tuna t e young women coming out. And the men who saw the i r looks of hor ro r has tened to assure t hem tha t they could tu rn back; t ha t they were not compelled to r e t u r n to work in the factory t h a t was being raked by the hand of death.

But these g M s said NO; We have promised the Tommies t h a t we would make good, and we WILL.

And they are making good [ They are working in these places, under the mos t hazardous conditions, day and night, mak ing shel l s - -shel l s shells and inseri.bing the name WOMAN last ingly into the annals of Engl i sh history.

Now, then, Mr. Employer, the woman of America is jus t as patr iot ic . She is ready to s tep forward and t ake the ptaee of men on the f a r m s a n d in the factory. Thousands of girls are doing this work now, and thousands more are ready.

So wit1 you not encourage the YOUNG MEN, the able-bodied young fellows, in your employ, to step forward and answer one of the mos t u rgen t calls of our Nat ion ?

At the Governor 's direction, the War boards of Michigan a re about to launch an intensive campaign for Navy volunteers. The Governor, the War Boards, the Navy Officials, and all patr iot ic citizens are wa tch ing and hoping t h a t Michigan will go 'over the top' as quickly in this campaign as she has in those which involved only money. But if we are to do this , we m u s t have the full co-operation of every citizen.

Help us eall to the a t tent ion of our young men, the u rgency of this message, for they m u s t be enl is ted and t ra ined in t ime to meet and man our new ships when l aunched ; h.elp us to impress upon them t h a t i t is the i r sacred duty to s tep forward and give thei r country the ass is tance they are asked to give; join us in telling t h e m of the g rea t advan tages offered t h e m in the N a v y ; help b r ing before t h e m the fact t h a t all men m u s t serve soon, and t h a t oppor tuni ty is now offered t hem to place themselves where they can do the mos t good.

The campa ign formally opens on July 1, and con t inues to Ju ly 15. But all young men who wish to enlist immediately, may do ~o by applying a t any one of the s tat ions named below. Each man should b r ing a certifi- cate signed by pa ren t or responsible citizen, showing t h a t he is a citizen of the Uni ted States , toge ther with the date and place of bir th. Men of d r a f t age m u s t b r ing a release f r o m the i r local board, which will be given t h e m if t hey are not ' in a cu r ren t quota of the draft .
