added several hundred valuable books 10
the university library. He recently ad-
dressed TO the authorities OF the various
states a circular letter requesting con-
trihutions Of the books and documents
published by or under ths authority of
the several commonwealth. The result
IS that there are now arriving numerous
boxes and packages Of books, which on
being opened disclose many books OF
much value TO the different departments
Of the institution President Charles F.
Reeves also contributed a collection Of
publications lay the state OF Pennsylvania
Efforts VIII be made 10 complete all
these sets Of books. and II Is hoped that
before long the university VIII be able to
secure A complete set of the reports and
documents Of the state OF Washington.
Thousands Of some OF these publications
are stored AT the capital city. and not n
single volume is available for the library
% the state university. An effort was
made 10 remedy this unfortunate condi-
ton bv an Enactment In the last legisia-

The great drawback of the present sys-

for sudden small wars and il was pro-
posed to meet this situation by allowing
5000 infantry to go on the reserve and
draw shilling instead of six pence per

any such emergency.
Mr. Broderick outlines a scheme Of war

of initiative and financial control upon
