PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION.
president wilson sets aside june 28 as national war
savings day.—appeals to everybody to buy
war savings stamps.
in a proclamation designating June 28 aa National War Savings
Day President Wilson said:
"This war is one of nations—not of armies, and all of our one
hundred million people must be economically and industrially ad-
justed to war conditions if this nation is to play its full part in
the conflict. The problem before us Is not primarily a financial
problem but rather a problem of increased production of war essen-
tials and the saving of tho material.) and the labor necssary for
the support and equipment of our army and navy Thoughtless
expenditure of money for non-essentials use< up the labor for non-
essentials uses up the labor of men, the products of the farm, mines
and factories and overburdens transportation, all of which must
be used to the utmost and at their best for war purposes.
"I earnestly appeal to every man. woman and child to pledge
themselves on the 28th day of June to save constantly and tn buy
as regularly as possible the securities of the government: and to do
this as far as possible through membership in War Savings Societies.
The 28th of June ends this special period of enlistment in the grt t
volunteer army of production and saving here at home. May thera
be none unenlisted on that day."
WOODROW WILSON,
President of the United States.

Spies and Lies
German agents arc everywhere, eager to gather scraps of news
about our men, our ships, our munitions. It is still possible to pet such
information through to Germany, where thousands of these fragments
—often individually harmless—are patiently pieced together into a
v. hole which spells death to American soldiers and danger to American
°mCBut while the enemy is most industrious in trying to collect infor-
mation and his systems elaborate, he is not superhuman—indeed, he is
often ver\ stupid, and would fail to get what he wants were it not
deliberately handed to him by the carelessness of loyal Americans.
Do not discuss in public, or with

Do not become a tool of the

eagerly sows. Remember he a-ks
no better service than to have you
