WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 American
i soldiers and sailors in training at
| l.ome or in the service overseas are
learning the game of war "on their
own hook." This Is the use they are
j making of the library war service,
| conducted by the American Library
Association, for the previous idea—
and it was that of some library work-|
ers -that the library service would
be mostly for recreational purposes,
is being disproved by the heavy de
mand for hooks on military and naval
science and related subjects.
In nine months after a most hum
hie beginning the library war service
has become the most universal library
in the world In brief, its accomplish
ments include 3<5 camp library build
I ings erected. 41 large camp libraries!
established. 1‘ 1 hospital and Red Cross
houses supplied with books, 212 libra
ries in service. 237 small military
camps and posts equipped with book
I collections, 249 naval and marine sta
tions and vessels supplied with libra
ries, 1,323 branches and stations
placed In V M. C A. and Knights of
Columbus huts, barracks and mess
halls, 385,310 books shipped overseas,
I 411,505 books bought, most of them
technical, and 2,100,000 gift books in
service
Wherever there are American fight
ers. there is to be found the library,
and in the big military camps are
numerous branches and company sta
tions Even American prisoners of
war in fiermanv are not neglected by
the library service, for arrangements
have been completed In Switzerland
for serving them through that conn
try. The army, with its combat j
| troops, its training areas and schools,|
j lines of communication, including con i
struction men, guards, stevedores and
ottiers, ami the headquarters and de
tached units, is reached by the library
I
war service The service extends to
the navy, with its vessels, ship buses,
mine bases and aviation stations, as|
also to both the army and navy at J
recreation centers, in hospitals and ini
captivity.
While the interest now is marked!
in a serious study of the war, the war
libraries are not confined to technical
books on I hat subject. Instead these
compose the smaller part of the libra-j
ries, and are largely the ones that
have been bought by the library asso
ciation. Medical and veterinary books |
at hospitals are supplied by the sur-!
gcon general Other books are pro
vided from gifts gathered by public
libraries throughout the country.
Hooks to aid vocational training and
scientific studies usually are pur
ichased. Recreational reading, fiction,
war books, history, biography and [
travel are supplied from the gift col -
lection. Scrap books are useful for'
bed patients and for illiterates A de
mand also has been supplied for books
to classes In French and to classes ol
men with'an imperfect knowledge of
I English Magazines in endless num
ber are added monthly.
More than four million books were
collected during the gift campaign
conducted recently by public libra
i * *r" ««* unj ui nit* country. nil1
exact number reported to headquar
ters here was 3,896,054, but this does
not include thousands distributed by
the city libraries to near-by military,
naval and marine camps and stations,
of which no record was sent to head
quarters. A summary of the distri
bution of gift books follows: To 41
large military camps and naval sta
tions. 1,317,304; to 237 small military
camps, which include 47 aviation
j schools and repair depots, 244,784; to
116 small naval stations. 135,480; to
17 marine stations, 21,183; to 116 ves
sels, 32,029; to 91 hospitals, 29,503;
to 6 dispatch offices for overseas ship
ment, 385,3X0. Total. 2,165,593.
The service of the library associa
tion is welcomed by both military and
naval leaders. Vice Admiral Sims (
says the book service is of "great
value in increasing the contentment
of our forces," and (leneral Pershing
adds, "the scheme Is commendable
and the service is welcome " In the
army abroad these words from the
commander are printed in the books:
"These books come to use overseas
from home.
"To read them is a privilege.’ ’
"To restore them promptly nnd un
abused, a duty."
The cost for the library service—
although many of its workers are vol
unteers—has been about three-quar
ters of a million dollars, and the fu-l
ture monthly expenditures are ex
pected to be about 3150,000. The as
sociation has sufficient funds to con
limn* its work until n* xt Hecmnber.
The receipts of the assoeiation to June
1 last were $1.759.230.IS.

GERMAN PRESS CHARGED
WITH SUPPRESSING NEWS
NKW YORK. Aug. 1J The press |
in Germany was accused during a re-1
rent debate in the reichstag of spread-|
ing false reports regarding allied air'
raids on Herman cities, according to
Herman newspapers received here.
The case in question was the air raid
jn Cologne (in May IS.
Deputy Kuckoff of the Center party!
said there had been no timely warn
ing of the population by the military j
authorities.
Deputy Meerfield, Socialist, said j
that although every child in Cologne
knew that twenty five persons had
been killed, the newspapers on that
day were forced to say that "unfor
tunately they have been some casual
ties"
“What will be the reputation of the
press if they are forced to spread such
false reports?" he asked Meerfield
said that the methods of the general
command reminded him of the saying
that "under martial law every jackass
can rule."
