POSTAL SAVINGS ENDS BIG YEA During War This Forged Ahead About Thirty- the Department Four Million Dollars. Postal savings deposits forged ahead during the war $34,000,000, ac- cording to a statement just made pub- lic by the postoffice department. On March 31, 1917, six days prior to our declaration of war, deposits in the U. 8. postal banks footed up $125,- 424,686, On October 1, 1918, eleven days prior to the signing of the armi- stice, they had increased to $159,670,- $30. These figures are all the more remarkable when it is recalled that during the same period four intensive Jiberty loan campaigns, and an almost continuous drive for the sale of thrift stamps and war savings certificates were carried on. War activities had the complete right of way and an ap- peal by the postmaster general for active co-operation on the part of the 300,000 emplayes throughout the country, in all financial and charitable war activities, brought enthusiastic response, Meanwhile postal savings sin®ply Mmarked time excepting only such business as came to the postof- fice unsolicited. The postal savings bank are largely patronized by wage- earners of foreign birth.
