That savings will win the war was asserted Thursday in a statzment is- sued by President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale university through the Con- necticut War Savings Committes. Dr. Hadley's statement is as follows: The war reduced the available labor power of the country. Hundreds of thousands of our men have gone abroad; a still larger num- ber are in training camps at home. Others are making guns and ammu- nitions and aesroplanes. Still others are building ships in which to trans- port men and supplies. Probably one- tenth of the total labor of the coun- try, and one-fifth of its high grade la- bor, is being utilized for war pur- poses. To prevent thi€ loss of productive power from becoming o disaster, those of us whe stay at home must work harder and consume less. This is the onyl wady in which the nation can meet s war bills. Ioans and taxes may give the government the necessary dollars.. But loans and taxes will not enabic us to win the war unless they are backed up by actual savings. For the war is not won by dollars, It is won by food and clothing, by coal and iron. That is why a man or Woman who saves money to invest in a govern- ment loan helps the country more than the bank that finances the loan, the capitalist who sells railroad_stock to convert it into government bonds. The bannk or the capitalist glves the government dollars. But dollars without goddgs behind them mean in- creased_prices, net increased indus- trial officlency. A man who saves money out of current income furnish- es goods ag well as dollars. His! subseription to the government loan represents an excess of production over consumption; an actual creation of capital which can be used for war purposes. _If he has made money to put into the government loan by working harder, he has helped to make good the deficlency in labor power due to_the draft. If he has secured it by eating less food or burning less coel, he has in- creased the amount of food available for our troops and our allies, or the amount of ¢oal which can be used to produce munition: The ability of our troeps to fighs and of our allies to live depends upon the willingness of the nation to produce as much as it can and consume as lit- tle as it can. The margin between th eamount of food and fuel and cloth- ing and other necessities of life which on non-compatants produce and that which they consume is a rough but fair measure of our possible fighting efficiency. For these things are the sinews of war. GERMANS LOST GROUND ON FOUR MILE FRONT, Suffered Heavy Casualties in Fruitless Attacks East of Arras.
