Plans Are Under Way to Provide Suf ficient Reading Matter of the Proper Kind For Each of the Thirty-two Cantonments ? Prominent Bankers Lend Support to Nation Wide Plea. Governors of the various states have been invited to assist the Library War Council, appointed by the secretary of war, to establish libraries for our sol diers in the field and our sailors on shipboard. Telegrams and letters re ceived at the headquarters of the Li brary War Council in Washington show that Secretary Baker's action In ap pointing a national body to provide li braries for our troops has met with popular approval throughout the coun try. The fact that the work is being done under the expert direction of the War Service Committee of the American Li brary association has brought Into serv ice the assistance of trained librarians in all parts of the United States, who are acting as sponsors and collectors for the movement in their respective lo calities. The council comprises Frank A. Van derlip, chairman, president of the Na tional City bank, New York city; Asa G. Candler, banker, Atlanta, Ga.; P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education; J. Randolph Coolidge, archi tect, Boston; Mrs. Joelah E. Cowles, pres|deyt general Federation jf Wo men's clubs, Los Angeles, faf ; John IT. Finley, New York state commissioner of education; James A. Flaherty, su preme knight, Knights of Columbus; E. T. Stotesbury of J. P. Morgan & Co., New York city; Colonel Theodore N. Vail, president American Telephone and Telegraph company, New York, and Harry A. Wheeler, vice president Union Trust company, Chicago. Librarians on the Committee. A campaign for 4he raising of the necessary funds is in charge of Harold Braddock of Montclair, N. J., with of fices in Washington. The war service committee is headed by J. I. Wyer, Jr., of the New York State library. The other members are Edwin II. Ander son, New York Public library; Arthur E. Bostwick, St. Louis Public library; Gratia Countrjlnan, Minneapolis Pub lic library; Electra C. Doren, Dayton (O.) Public library; Matthew S. Dud geon, Wisconsin Free library commis sion, and Frank P. Hill, Brooklyn Pub lic library. Already several governors have ap pointed state library war councils, and cities are organizing local councils to carry on the work. Tlie appeal is for $1,000,000 for the purchase of regularly constituted li braries of 10,000 volumes each, one for each of the thirty-two cantonments. These libraries, the experts say, will be equal if not superior to the average library in cities of from 18.000 to 25,000 population. The same system of selec tion and circulation which governs city libraries will prevail in the camps. A $1 contribution, library experts say, will place a book in the camps and will keep it in good condition and cir culation for three years. The re sponses from officers and soldiers and sailors themselves reveal that thoy are eager for the plan to be put into effect as soon as possible. "Give us libra ries," is their appeal. Authors are giving their royalties, and the publishers are giving a liberal discount on volumes purchased. The appeal is not only for $1 popular subscriptions, but for corporate sub scriptions, large individual contribu tions and bequests of money by libra ry boards. The Y. M. C. A. and the Knights of Columbus are working closely with the war service committee of the Ameri can Library association in making the appeal. TO GIVE PRIZES FOR ESSAYS.

GOOD PRIZEFIGHTERS AT NAVAL TRAINING STATION # Champions Must Be Ready to Meet All Challengers ? Every One a Fan. Seasoned scrappers guaranteed t^> stand up against any of the kaiser's are being turned out by Captain W. A. Moffett, commandant of tlie Great Lakes naval training station, north of Chicago. Of the 12,000 in training there, all picked from perhaps 50,000 applicants for perfect physical condi tion, scores of first rate boxers have been uncovered, and the game in the squared ring is second to none in pop ularity among the "landsmen for ad mirals."^ JS. f Aspirants are given tryouts upon merit alone. From the first day in camp the newcomer is given an oppor tunity to try his hand when volunteer scrappers at all weights are c filled for. By elimination the best scrappers in each class have been discovered. Aft er proving their ability In the ring they are given an opportunity to chal lenge the champion for his title. Bouts of three two-minute rounds each are held regularly each Tuesday after noon. A big natural amphitheater seating 3,000 is the scene. Wilbur Kendall, who hails from Ko komo, Ind., is pronounced by Martin Delaney, director of athletics at the Chicago Athletic club, one of the classi est amateur scrappers he has ever seen. Kendall, a lightweight, was so far above the rank and file of boxers at the Lakes that he tired of success fully defending his title time after time and finally "retired," giving the cham pionship belt to Xaman Favor of Gal veston, Tex., a boy who had shown the most class among the aspirants. Joe Dowd, who received his first training in the amateur rings of Ni agara Falls, N. Y., and Detroit, is hold ing the featherweight title against ali comers, while Steve Gunshaw of Wilkesbarre, Fa., Is the best of the ban tams. Every one is a boxing fan at the Lakes, from the lowest "boot" to Commandant Moffett himself. TO SING WAY TO WAR. Plans Completed to Convert Army Into Legion of Warblers. United States soldiers are going to sing their way to the trenches. Plans for converting the new national army into a legion of cheerful warblers who will hum their way through the Iluns have been formulated. The organiza tion which will have charge of this work, under the direction of the war and navy departments, has been nam ed the national committee 011 army and navy training camp music. W. Kirkpatrick Brice was elected chair man. The task of selecting thirty-six song leaders who will teach the drafted army to sing has been left to Lee F. Ilanmer of the war department's com mission 011 training camp activities and appointed to the same post by the navy department. These leaders will be trained by Harry Bamhart, leader of New York's Community chorus. Mr. Brice has been placed In charge of a subcommittee to compile and issue a song book by Oct. 1. This book will contain the old, familiar American folksongs as well as the new, patriotic marching words and tunes. GUARD SCHOOLS IN CRISIS. Commissioner of Education Urges Wo men's Clubs to Aid. A special appeal to club women and ministers in the United States has been issued by the United States Commis sioner of Education, Dr. P. P. Claxton, urging that their influence be given to the maintenance of the schools of the nation in their full efficiency during the war. Dr. Claxton says : "Everywhere there seems to be fear lest our schools of all kindfeand grades, and especially the public schools, will suffer l>ecause of conditions growing out of our entrance into the war. On the other hand, both for the present defense and for the future welfare of our country as well as for the indi vidual benefit of the children, it is of the greatest imjtortance that the schools shall be maintained in their full efficiency. "While the war continues there will be many unusual temptations to many kinds of Juvenile delinquencies. Prompt and regular attendance at school and roper employment during out of school ours will be the children's protection." Luxburg to Leave Buenos Aires. The German minister to Argentine, Count Luxburg, has been handed his passports with tho news that he is no longer acceptable to the govern ment on account of his taking advan tage of the kindness of the Swedish Legation to send secret code messages to Germany. Argentine is demanding of Germany an explanation of the Count's conduct. The standard medical books endorse the ingredients in I)r. SETH AR NOLD'S BALSAM for Summer Sick ness.
