LITERATURE FOR SOLDIERS.
Contributions VIII Be Forwarded to
Manila Free of Charge.

There were several enquiries yesterday
at the War Department in response to the
letter printed in The Times from Lieutenant
Patten, in which he said that the soldiers
in Manila were sadly in need of reading
matter Colonel Bird, of the transportation
department of the Quartermaster General s
Office, has decided that all contributions of
proper literature will be forwarded to the
troops at Manila free of charge. Colonel
Bird explained that it was desired that, as
far as possible the literature should be se-
Iected with view TO eliminating whatever
might not be desirable. Magazines are par
ticularly desirable, and so are illustrated
publications; but such literature as the At
kinson anti-imperialists' organization is
printing will most certainly be thrown out
by the officers, and not sent to the Philip
pines. While II is proposed to transport
free of charge all publications of interest
and benefit to the soldier, the Quartermas-
ter's Department wants it understood that
space on the transports is too valuable to
devote TO the sending as Colonel Bird ex-
pressed il, "of trash"
War Department officials desire that per-
sons having literature that would interest
the troops send it to either Colonel Jones.

Long. the quartermaster ar San Francisco
It is requested that such publications be Sc
curely wrapped or boxed, and they will be
