ALSATIANS COMPELLED
TO DEPOSIT SAVINGS
NEW YORK.—Workers of Alsace
and Lorraine under eighteen years
of age may receive only 24 marks
a week of their earnings. Every
thing over the prescribed amount
must be deposited in a savings bank
and cannot be drawn during the war
except with the consent of the
mayor of the municipalities in which
they live.
These restrictions are only part
of a system of compulsory saving
devised for the young of Alsace and
Lorraine and made mandatory by
a decree issued by the commander
in chief of the army group of Duke
Albrecht of Wuertemburg, accord
ing to the Cologne Gazette.

MRS. SINGLETON
SAYS C0S1 OF
LIVING^ IS HIGH
In a letter received recently by
Mrs. R. R. Myers, wife of the popu
lar dentist, Mrs. Singleton, wife of
the army officer who was in charge
of the Signal Corps at Fairbanks
many years ago, tells of her hus
band’s movements while on active
service. “Over There”. He will be
remembered by a great many Ne
nanaites as Lietenant Singleton dur
ing his long stay in Fairbanks. He
is now chief of staff of the Eighth
Division, stationed at Camp Fre
mont, Palo Alta, Cal-, and expects
to be sent to the front again soon.
Mrs. Singleton, who is now in
Washington, D. C., doing Red Cross
work at national headquarters, writ
ing under date of September 22,
says:
“My husband was in France for
eight months, and last month was
ordered home to help organize those
twelve divisions that are to go over
soon. He is at present at Camp
Fremont, Cal., as chief of staff of
the Eighth Division and expects to
go back to France soon.
“He saw all kinds of service
while in France, and had many inter
esting things to tell of. His corps
was the point of the wedge in the
last big drive (probably in the St.
Mihiel sector) and they did wonder
ful work. He says our boys are
just perfectly wonderful.
“He thinks the war can’t last
more than a year longer, and that
next August will see it finished.
I certainly wish it would finish soon.
“Life in Washington is very inter
esting; there is every kind of
fighting men in every kind of uni
form in the war (except German)
to be seen here. We have seen the
‘Blue Devils’, ‘The Ladies from Hell’
and now the ‘Fighting Legion’, who
are here to hasten the Fourth Loan
Some are without a leg, and some
an arm, and all have been wounded
and all decorated at least once, and
some many times.
“We also had the Russian woman
eader of the ‘Batallion of Death’,
vho wore a uniform like a man
short hair, and is very large.
“The suffragettes get out and
aarade too, and get arrested almost.
;very day; so there is something
;o see all of the time.
“The cost of living here has
Alaska backed to the wall. The
‘ood is awful, and no service, but
ve don’t care so long as the men
‘Over There” get enough.”
