A NATIONAL WAR SAVINGS LEAGUE.

In the wars of olden times the king looked to the City of London for men and money. To-day. history repeats it - self, with this great difference —that now Irs Majesty the King leads the nat on, by having, with his accustomed thoughtful and welt-directed generosity given—not lent—the munificent donation of C100,fM)0 towards the country's needs. The City has responded nobly to tlie appeal for men. Yast sums of money are essential to success, because on Britain falls tlie'chief nurden of financing the Allies. Bankers

finance houses, and merchants have contribiited liberallv to War Loans, and private citizens nave greatly helped In reminding us of all this, the Lord .Mayor of London, in a general appeal to the citizens and others, suggests that i veryoiin should strive to save at least Hi per cent, of income and lend it to the Government. Wh'lo all certainly cannot afford to do this, others are in a position to lend more than 10 per cent; nearly everybody can help to tome extent. Love is a good bit like soda-water — mostly g.'is.
