A wir savings propaganda amongst merchant seamen is, saye the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian in preparation, & comprehensive ffort being about to be made.to interest the merchant service in the scheme: The War..

This ja all the more reason why the merchant service abcalá ba attacked, con tinues the correspondent, for the magnificent work of officers and men he been recognised by the abipowasie, and the smount of money now reaching the merchant service.is,vory great.

It would be a good ides. if war savings committees could be organised on me obant chips as well ea on warships.
