...continues to do so, we gain by it. If, however, there is doubt as to its durability, or if men under age are as good soldiers, it seems fair to summon the latter, especially since they are less likely to have dependents. There are many between nineteen and twenty-one who have finished their education, but not really started their life work. Proof of equal ability, or a scarcity of older draftees, will bring them into the army...
...Oxford and Cambridge. I have been told that at Oxford at the present moment there are no more than 120 undergraduates; the situation at Cambridge being approximately the same. The dons, or, as we should say, the faculty, have had their incomes from all sources reduced at least one-half or two-thirds in most cases. While it is difficult to estimate situations of this sort before-hand, I should imagine that if the war continues and we raise larger armies with a reduced draft age, the attendance in the College might well drop to three or four hundred students...

A revised list will be published later and will give exact details. The following is the provisional schedule...

Although the stamps are to be redeemed finally in 1923, this may be done with interest at any time. By saving nickels and dimes now, one may buy stamps later which cost $4.12, and which in five years will be worth five dollars. Likewise, a full certificate will rise in value from $82.40 to $100. To encourage personal thrift, to build up its financial strength, the Government offers this opportunity for investment. Let no one neglect...
