GOOD FOR THE YEAR ROUND AND ALL TIME; Chicago, I, Dec. 13.—Every per- son may help win'the war by not| spending money or consuming mater-! ial needlessly and by forming first himself, and then his friends regard- ing all phases for the war savings stamp campaign, Frank A. Vander- lip, chairman of the National War Savings committee, declared here to- night in addressing a meeting of the Illinois Manufacturers’ association. Lesson of Thrift. ' ‘This war savings campaign is some- thing that will, | believe make a great impression on the character of the country by teaching the lesson of thrift.” Mr. Vanderlip said, “it is a campaign where it can be. brought to every mind that here is an individual oportunity to help win the war, that every time a man saves a dollar from going into an expenditure for a non- essential, every time that he re- frains from consuming material and employing labor unnecessarily, he has released : material and labor for the uses of the government and has made his direct individual contribution to winning the war. The Liberty Loan. “You have rendered wonderful ser- vice in aid of the government in the Liberty loan campaigns. Here is a continuous campaign; it is going to run for a year. Personally, I believe the theory of it so good that it will run for many years; but congress has authorized only a single issueiof $2,- 000,000 and we can not predict, what may occur beyond that. “Here is an opportunity for all to make a great contribution to the gov- ernment, in.the help that they give in putting this lesson before the peo- ple, because the lesson is more im- portant than the money that will be lent. “That is the job we have on hand, and. this message of personal thrift, this message of economy, this nec- essity for releasing to the uses of the government men and material must be learned, if we are to strike a military blow that is at all commensurate with what we should strike. Billion a Month, “The government today would like to be spending, estimated that it would spend on its domestic expendi- tures for the war, a billion dollars a month. As a matter of fact, while that estimate stood in the early days of October, the month closed with ex: penditures of about $460,000,000. Now what! was the reason? It was that the workshops could not produce the things that the government wanted as rapidly as they had contracted to do. It was a question of man power, or industrial “organization.” Mr. Vantderlip will go from here. to St. Paul and Minneapolis, where he will speak tomorrow. ‘ EMEGRGENGY BUDGET Washington, Dec. 13.—An account: ing to congress for the hundred mil- lion dollar war emergency fund placed in President Wilson's hands last. April - shows*<hat the president: has allotted to 21 departments, bureaus and newly created war bodies $21 00, of which ‘$21,651,000 has been spent. Con- gress now has heen asked to make the remaining $668,402,000 available up to the close of the fiscal year next June, instead of only to Dec. 31, and today the house appropriations committee favorably reported a bill for that pur- pose. Executive Allotments Five of the president’s allotments were made under the head of “Execu- tive,” ‘for which no itemized disburse- ments were given. They were $1,350,- 000 for the committee on public infor- mation, ‘$340,000 for preliminary work of the food administration, $25,000 for preliminary expenses of the fuel ad- ministration, $250,000 for the war trade board, and ‘$25,000 for adminis- tration of the priority in transporta- tion daw..

Two temporary allotments or loans ; tothe war department, aggregating $65,000,000 were made, but the money | was returned when regular appropria- ; tions became available, and the de-; partment now has nothing charged against it from the fund. A temporary allotment-of $500,000 also was made to the war risk insurance bureau and $100,000 of it turned over, to be re-i paid when premiums accumulate. In the seven months up to Dec. 7, when the report was compiled the gov- ernment spent $1,679,000 from the emergency fund for secret service ac- tivities and gaining information from abroad. The president granted $2,- 203,000 for that purpose. For Seized Shipping. Almost eighteen and a half millions went to the shipping board to repair German and Austrian vessels seized in American ports when the United States entered the war, and with the exception of $1,358,000 all of it has been turned over to the board. The federal trade commission -was | allotted $200,000 to investigate costs and prices up to the time the report was compiled had received $196,268 of it.
