Writs for TrmS Mr Boo. SSXJtlXB XI 8 KEMXDX CX. CHICAGO By PAUL 14. WARBURG, Tee Governor ef the Federal Reserve Beard. I am one of one hundred and five million of inhabitants of the United 8tates; my duties are the same as those of every other true American, and those of every other true Ameri can are the same as mine. Whatever I contribute to the cause of the coun try, I may expect to see done each In hla own way by 105,000,000 people. . Let us suppose for the purpose of Illustration that I decide that I shall effect a saving on clothes. I might se lect boots, automobiles, umbrellas, or any other article for which I regularly spend my money, as I have no desire to single out any one commodity, but clothes lend themselves to my thought, so I nsme them. If I nuke up my mind. then, at this Juncture that to wear old clothes ls more resuectable than to be seen In new ones; If I de cide to buy one new suit of clethes less than I usually purchase each year, sod If I figure rhat suit to cost no more than $10 the country as a Whole, should we all pull together and act on the same lines; would save thereby over one billion dollars. It is true fhat In dealing with our 105.000.000 population we Include children and many poor people that could not save ten dollars each because they never spend more for clothes than they absolutely must. But on the other hand $10 ls a .much smaller amount than the average man or woman spends for a new suit of clothes. The assumption that a billion dollars could easily be saved on clothes may, therefore, be accepted as conser vative. The first thought that occurs to us In this connection is, that by this sav ing In clothes. over one billion dollars would be freed to be hi vested-In Lib erty loan bonds. That ls the first Im portant and most obvious result. But there are other economic results In volved In this saving that are of far greater Importance than the mere sav ing of money. Economic Results Are Vast. Let us consider first what one billion dollars' worth of clothes means. Sup pose they were half-wool and half-cotton and that the value of the raw ma terial constituted only 50 per cent of the price paid by the ultimate consum er, that would, at the present price of GO cents per pound for wool and 30 cents per pound for cotton respectively, represent 208,334 tons of wool and 416, 607 tons of cotton. Can you imagine bow much freight space would be re quired on water and on land. In mov ing this mass of raw material? Do you realise that if these bales were put into freight cars, assuming a load ing capacity of 16 tons per car for wool and 13 tons per car for cotton, this would represent 13,021 box cars loaded with wool and 32,056 box cars loaded with cotton? Assuming 75 cars per train, there would be about 600 trains; the total length of these trains would be approximately 814 miles, and these trains, hauled by 600 engines, when standing In line would approxi mately cover the distance from Balti more to Pittsburgh? Can you Imagine the amount of coal consumed In first transporting and then weaving this raw material into doth? Can you Im agine the number of hands employed In these processes? And then consider that more coal, more labor and more transportation are required In distrib uting the cloth and again more labor and more material in converting It Into clothes, and again more labor and transportation In retailing the finished product to the final consumer. Let us be mindful that all the time these processes are being carried on. Uncle Sam ls short of the men neces sary to dispatch his war work, and furthermore that shortage of coal and the clogging of the wheels of transpor tation have stopped his progress at most critical moments and In the pres ent emergency continue to remain a constant menace to the country. May Cost Your Son's Life. My new sult-ef clothes means, there fore, delay'for our military operations; delay In transporting and equipping men, and In sending to them, and to our allies, the supplies they need ; means Increased ' losses and. a longer duration of the war. My new suit of clothes may cost, therefore, the life of my son. The supply of goods, of labor and of transportation ls limited. It is a mat ter of common agreement that this lim ited supply; Is not sufficient freely to satisfy all wants and that unrestricted attempts on the part of each Individual to satisfy his own requirements may lead to a wild scramble and destruc tive competition with the government, resulting In fatal delay and endless in crease In prices. . The loaf of bread available for our selves and for our allies Is not large enough to "go around" If we all want to est more than Is absolutely. neces iiry for our maintenance. It Is every body's duty,lhereforv"ak this time to "tighten, his belt" and to make a genu ine effort to live on a a thin a slice of, the loaf aa he can. ' Unless that bar done we must buy 'additional; food In neutral countries,; thereby using .ton nage that should be kept available for our military operations and Increasing pur difficulties In adjusting our trade balances with neutral countries. Hurts Uncle Sam In '.Many Ways. To return to our story of the suit of clothes: During last year the United States had to Import 421,000,000 pounds of wool, representing a value of about $172)00,000. About half of this came from Argentina. Our suits of clothes called for a substantial portion of this wool and therefore to that -extent rob bed Uncle Sam of the use of his ships. Moreover, our factories being busy in producing the things required for the prosecution of the war and our home consumption still proceeding at almost top speed, the quantity of goods avail able for shipment to Argentina in pay ment for the wool (or for that matter to Chile for nitrates, to Peru for cop per, and so on), ls .insufficient' As.s. consequence the United State-had to pay for more goods In South America than South America has had to pay for goods bought in the United States, thereby causing a decline of dollar, ex change In these neutral countries. This shrinkage In the price of the dollar means that It has lost a corresponding part of Irs purchasing power Ln neutral countries. The scarcity of goods avail able for our export trade has thus be come a serious obstacle In our way In trying to secure at reasonable price or in adequate quantities some of the things that we absolutely require from foreign countries. My suit of clothes has hurt Uncle Sam, therefore, In several ways: I have consumed more wool than neces sary and thereby forced the United States to import a correspondingly large quantity of this article; I have consumed more cotton goods than nec essary and to that extent have de prived Uncle Sam of the means with which to pay for the minimum of wool which we may have to Import. Clothing but One ef Many. I have used the Illustration of a new suit of clothes; It would be easy, though somewhat tedious, to show. that we have been dealing only with one case ln point The country Is short at this time of hides and skins and has to import large quantities from neutral countries because we are ex travagant ln our Individual purchases of shoes. Similarly, though we are the largest producers of copper, we are . forced to Import copper from Peru be- cause or civilian population has not begun sufficiently to curtail Its use. In like manner we might aak ourselves ls It at all excusable that at this time we still manufacture such articles as silk stockings, when every thread of "silk must be Imported, while we could use our own cotton? It ls Impossible and unnecessary to enumerate the many articles (hat are In a similar position. Many billions of dollars can easily be saved when once we are capable of realising "the cumulative effect of individual "sav ing;" take the word "saving" in Its larger meaning, as Involving not only money, but also goods and services. If every individual could be made to see with his own eyes that neglect of saving of this sort means decreased war efficiency, a prolongation of the war. and a larger number of casual ties; If every one who has a son or dear relative on the : fighting lines across the water could be made to feel that millions of small savings directly affect his boy there would be no doubt that we could secure the most conscientious and enthusiastic, coop eration of all the people. Thus, far we must say with regret of 105.000, 000 people. 100,000,000 do not see the connection between the suit of -clothes and the life of the boy. Germany's Enforced Economy.

Al the objectives set for the Australians, anadlans, English men and Frenchmen, were attained in remarkably quick time, and at last ac counts jthe allied, forces were still mak ing progress. .Wherever the enemy turned to give battle he was decisive ly defeated. Thousands of Germans were made prisoner. Large numbers "of - guns were captured, great quantities of war materials were taken and a score, or more of villages and hamlets were .re occupied. In addition, heavy casual ties were inflicted on the enemy. At its deepest point the penetration of the German line was about seven and a half miles eastward fromVll-lers-Bretonneux to Framervllle, while from two to five miles were gained all along the front trom northwest of Montdldler to the region around Mor lancourt. The fighting extended north of Morlancourt to the Albert sector, but no official details concerning, it have been received. Well out. on the plains and press ing forward, seemingly with great rap idity, the present offensive of the French and Britsh gives promise Of seriously menacing the entire Ger man front from near the sea . to Rheims. If the drive should proceed eastward to any great depth it cannot but affect the armies of the German crown prince now fighting betwen the Alsne and the Yesle and possibly make impracticable a stand by- them even north of the Alsne. Under the pressure of the offen t!ve the menace to the channel ports ulso seems for the. moment at least, to vanish. Already there have been signs to the northward from the posi tions where Crown Prince Rpprecht had formed his men for a drive toward the Channel that a retrograde move ment by the Germans was not Improb able. It ls apparent that Rupprecht will have to defer his campaign to cut off the cross-chanel serlvce. GOVERNMENT TO TAKE OVER COLD STORAGE PLANTS, ETC. Washington.

It stands right there and tells the truth.; What prohibition has done for one city; is told in part by the Spokane (Wash-) Chronicle.. After two years' : trial oi a" dry regime the proprietor of the largest department store in .Spobaij said: . : ' "We are doing 50 per cent more busi-; ness today than we 4ld three years ago under the .wet regime, ; ""I estimate that half of the increase is due to prohi bition. It Is astonishing how many people who voted wet' are now strong supporters of prohibition.? The tKHce commissioner, wnentues- ttoned concerning his' opinion of pro hlbltlon, said : , ; - v - - " "Washington, never, again will be wet There are not enougn people in the state who would vote against pro hibition, now that they have tried, it Crime, disorder and poverty have de creased and good citizenship and In dividual and collective property have been decidedly on the upgrade under prohibition In Spokane. -.-- ; - - In a similar-vein repued the county sheriff: : ' - "Conditions under prohibition are no tably better in many ways. . Even with the presence of the hootlegger there is so much in favor of a dry state that I cannot imagine anyone In legitimate business wanting to go back to streets dotted with open saloons.: ..Assault robbery and the more serious crimes are greatly reduced .- And the county farm tells Its story through Its superintendent: - "Our records speak for themselves. In 1915, with the saloons open, we had 217 people at the poor farm. In March, 1916, with no saloons, we had 168. In March, 1917, there were 122. March, 1918, found just 120." . 4 And one man who helps to feed the; people, the proprietor of Several gro-1 eery stores scattered over tne city, reported as follows: .- :- I do . not helieve there Is a mer chant doing business in Spokane to day who wants to go back to the con-" ditions which prevailed during the wet regime. x Easily 15 per cent of our 50 per cent Increase ln business now over three years ago Is due to prohibi tion." Maybe prohibition had nothing to do wlth causing these improved con ditions, but the fact remains that the conditions exist and that prohibition at least did not prevent the Improve ments nor bring to pass the dire dis asters prophesied by its opponents.

"Beer is & chemical combination of sugars, starches, extractive matters and yeast ferments, in a process of continuous change. This Is a com plex, chemical process which begins on the outside, and continues in the stom ach." The boasted claim that beer is a food and gives vigor and strength ia contradicted by statistics. "If beer had any food elements and were a tonic, exact measurements and I studies of statistics would confirm it, but the evidence from these sources is entirely the opposite. The congested face,, bloated body and dullness of body and mind are the best evidences' of the poisoning and degenerative pro cesses going on. There can be no con flict of opinions on this, .because It can be measured , and stated in mathemati cal termsi regardless of theories.
