Troop Libraries
Eight large tents, each airy ,roomy,
and light, are being erected at Lei
lehua to serve as troop Libraries until
such time as a permanent building
shall be completed. Eacn of the
eight troops of the Fifth Cavalry has
very respectable library of several
hundred volumes, and just as fast as
the work can be done, accommoda-
lions for the books are being pre-
pared.
The American soldier. during his
spare moments, is an omnivorous
| reader, and his officers do all in their
power to encourage him. His occu-
patton is such that he needs little
physical relaxation beyond his work
and the athletic exercises in which
he delights, and, in consequence. the
libraries are well patronized evenings.
The books that find their way into
military library are not OF the
trashy sort. Histories are usually
very popular, as are also the classics.
The troop libraries OF the Fifth Cav
airy are no exception and. by COM
mon consent of the men, the trashy
novel is tabu.
The restaurant, which the Oahu
Service Company will conduct at Lei
lGhua, is about ready to open, and
may be running tomorrow. p. II. Sui
