McADOO CALLS ON INDIANA TO FULFILL W. S. S. PLEDGES

South Bend, Dec. 6.—William G. McAdoo, secretary of the United State etreasury, today sent a message .to J. D. Oliver, director of War Savings Stamps sales in Indiana, urging this state, with other states, to fulfill its stamp pledges before the end of 1918. The message is as follows: “I most earnestly urge upon you that your organization make every possible effort to the end that pledges for the purchase of War Savings Stamps be fulfilled before the -clbSe of the year. The government monetary requirements were never greater nor more pressing than they are today. Expenditures for November were greater than in any similar period. “These expenditures, growing out of the war, must be met by borrowing from the people, and their magnificent response heretofore to the gov- 1 ernm ent’s (requirements makes me confident that they will not fail to continue their support, ter the end that all payments resulting from war necessities will be promptly met. Much remains to be done. Our brave troops must be maintained and paid until their work is fully accomplished and they are returned to their homes. “Thie is not a time for us to relax our efforts and the Treasury Department is making plans for larger and even more important work during the doming year. Please make effort to bring this statement before the people in your district and to urge upon them the continued holding of their War Savings certificates, the fulfillment of their pledges, and additional purchases as their means permit.”
