BOOKS FOR AMERICANS TO READ
Library IN Manila Needs Papers nd
Magazines


Washington. May 25-Mrs. Greenleaf.
wife of Colonel c. r. Greeneaf. United
States army, has succeeded in opening an
American library in Manila. for the use
of the American soldiers, sailors and cit
liens in Manila.
There are about 1000 volumes in this
library. many of them worn and soiled,
but greatly enjoyed by both officers and
men. About ten papers are sent regu-
larry from the United States, which are
read at the library and then sent to the
troops in the field. 1t is the earnest re-
quest of Mrs. Greenleaf that copies OF
papers from every part of the United
States be sent to this library. While con-
tributions of books and magazines are
most acceptable, the financial question is
the serious problem which confronts the
library.
The salary of the librarian and the rent
of the building, as we'll as other expenses.
have to be met each month, and a letter
from Mrs. Greenleaf. dated March 18th,
states that they nave only enough money
to keep the library open three months
longer at the most. Unless aid comes
from the United States they viii be COM
PEELED 10 close the library which has
been a source OF pleasure to the men who
are enduring the hardships of war in q
foreign country.
The Woman Army and Navy League,
an organization composed mainly OF the
wives and daughters of officers OF the
United States army and navy, has been
appealed to 10y Mrs. Greenleaf and they
will act as her representatives in this
country.
Contributions viii be received by Mrs.
Marshall /. LudinstOn, vice. president of
the Noman's Army and Navy League,

was held. The secretary Of agriculture.

ablest men in congress- paid very hand
some compliment the other day to Judge
Griggs. of Georgia, and as the story was
told me by q republican member who
overheard it. take the liberty of tell
ing it.
Griggs. who is very popular on both
sides of the house, was talking with sew
eral republican members just before the
days sessic: began. when Dolliver turn
ing to Griggs. said: You are young
ster who ought TO make ~ great mark IN
the house as the years go oy. Oi course
everything cannot be accomplished in
day and the way for "a man to become
useful uD here IS for him u see cohtlh-
uous service. Now. IL your district keeps
you here, there is no reason. In my opll-
ion, why you should not duplicate the
record of Judge Crisp from your own
state. / have watched you handle your
self on the floor and you have all the
poise which Crisp had and you have
clear-cut way of stating your propositions
which show you would make a good
judge. i see no reasons why you should
not be speaker Of this house OF repEesen-
t9,ives some day IL you work 10 that
end"
Which. coming from the source 1t did.
was a pretty handsome compliment. MIR.
Delivers statement of the impression
which Judge Griggs has made in the
house is In no sense an exaggeration.
Bartlet's Good Work.
The action Of the house elections COM
mittee. No in favor of Judge Rhea, the
sitting member from the ninth Virginia
district. instead of General Walker. who
has several times represented the district,
gives hardly less satisfaction on the re-
publican than it does on the democratic.
The republicans OF the north, as / have
had occasion to state several times. are
getting pretty sick of these southern re-
publicans VINO have TO break INTO congress
by the contest route. 1t was thought. now
ever. trat If any republican was given a
seat this session 1t would be General wal
ker whose prominence as confederate
soldier has always been urged in his De
half That the committee should have
found against him is due however, to the
splendid work of a Georgia democrat
more than the fact that the republicans
had tired Of this contest business or TO
any other sentiment.
Judge Bartlett. of the sixth district. Is
the leader of the minority of elections
committee No. l. He has had personal
charge of judge Rheas case and by MS
splendid management has succeeded IN
completely knocking out the case of the
contestant. Judge Bartlett was able to
show all sorts Of weak spots IN the Wal
kcr case and all the republicans on the
committee stood with him except Judge
Iinney. OF North Carolina who can al
ways he relied upon 10 stand by his fell
low southern republicans

NEW YORK WILL ENDORSE w. j. BRYAN

One OF Mr.. Hil's lieutenants. who spoke
FOR him. gave this explanation:
I'VE are agreed that Mr.. Bryan's re-
nomination is certainty, and that all
we can do is to fall into line, but we
cannot swallow the whole Chicago plat
form, and il is not necessary to do so.
Tho Kansas City convention may modify
that platform, so we can indorse Bryan
and declare that we Will support the
platform of our party. As to the instruc-
ton OF delegates. that is neither neceS-
sary nor i'm accordance with precedent.
Ii IS customary to instruct delegates To
national convention only when New York
has a candidate. 1t has no candidate this
year. 50 an Endorsement of Bryan Is all
that can be reasonably expected. We
will so to Kansas City as Bryan men,
but we do not care to be so committed
that We cannot ask for a modification OF
tho Chicago platform"
