the South Pole may have been reach

expedition his blessing and half a cargo

nation has the largest section devoted
to II and all branches Of its history
are we'll represented. The collection OF
material for United States history Ia
by far the best In Germany and an
excellent selection. Besides the Ger
man and American sections the library
Is especially strong in Its collection OF
Belgian, English colonial, East Asiatic
and still more remarkable collection
In the Chinese and Japanese sections.
Another remarkable fact about the II.
brary Is that the books here deal not
only with political, constitutional and
economical history, but also with the
history of art, music, sculpture, relig'
ion, education, manners and customs
The idea Is that knowledge Of all the
different kulture branches Is necessary
really to understand the history Of a
people. So we find here an unusually
rich assortment Of art collections, at
lases, some 100000 drawings by chill
dren from all nations, family letters
of the earlier centuries, many that
cannot be found elsewhere.
