BOOKS ON EUROPEAN WAR IN
GREAT DEMAND AT LIBRARY
Calls Also Made for Copies of Official DocumentsNo Marked
Effect on Fction-Most Popular Books

White Paper of the British and the
German white Book" The Ameri-
can Association of International Con
eiliation has published in pamphlet
form "Ohicial Documents Bearing on
the European War There are
numerous inquiries for copies of
treaties and for definitions of ''neu-
trality," as well as copies of Presi-
dent Wilson's proclamation OF neil
trality. list of contraband goods
and up to-date war maps. Business
branches have calls for the exact
financial condition of the United
States at the time of the outbreak
of the war, and the imports and ex-
ports of the country for the year
1913, as well as the amount of the
national debt. Every phase Of the
situation attracts public interest and
inquiry.
The more studious readers are con-
sulting more than formerly the vol
umes on International law. Some who
are preparing addresses are asking
for books on arbitration. peace and
war and like topics. There is con-
siderable inquiry about the organiza-
ton of the Red Cross Society. its
history, achievements and methods
of work.

books on the war are not drawn by
pupils of high schools. They have
their own lists of books for study
and consultation as provided and ar
ranged by teachers. However, the
Board of Education has commended
to the schools on European sources
of American history the teachers
lists of the library. 1t may be in
ferred from the fact that high school
pupils are not largely reading books
on the war that they are not in
clined To enter on independent in
vestigation or are receiving adequate
information through the facilities of
the schools. The bulk of the demand
for war books is from the average
man and woman, the working men,
professional men and some business
men and women.
Inquiry does not show that the de-
mand for the literature of war has
perceptibly decreased the number of
readers of fiction, which remains
normal, 1t might readily be inferred
that the greater attention being
given to newspaper reports of the
progress of the war and the great
demand for war books would detract
from the usual interest in fiction.
There is some demand for stories
of war, and, interesting in a sug-
gestive way, there is an increased
demand for the life of Napoleon. THE
fact that the calls for fiction are
normal may be accounted for by as
Stunning that the class that reads
fiction is not as fully attracted by
war books. The readers of the latter
are those who desire as complete in
formation as possible and will mako

Tie public library is a fairly ae-
curate index of the public state of
mind on any subject that may be
holding at any time the position of
supreme importance. In the library
is registered the predominant inter
est of the public mind as shown by
the character of the books drawn by
daily readers No more striking il
lnstration of the public interest is at
present to be observed than the wide
spread demand for books and litera-
lure that will give information about
the European war and its causes or
that will throw light on the problems
IF European craftsmanship.
Inquiry q [ the Newark Public Ii
bfary brings out the fact that the
library has been obliged to duplicate
the books generally that have to do
with the war, and in the case Of the
more popular works on the war over
a score of copies have been provided
and still the demand is for more.
These books are not allowed TO re-
pose on the shelves.
Waiting readers stand ready to
seize the war books as soon as they
are returned to the library. Among
The books that are very popular are
PAN Germanism, by Professor
Ronald Usher; Causes of the Euro
pean Conflict" by Burgess: Ger
many and the Next War" Won Bern
hardi: German Sea Power-lts Rise,
Progress and Economic Base" by A.
s. Hard; History of German Civili-
za1ion." by Ernst Richard; War and
America" by II. Munsterberg; Ger

and and the English by Price Col
lier: "Men Around the Kaiser," by
Frederick William VILE. 'Imperial
Germany" by Bernard Karl Won Blu
low; Germany and England" by j.
A. Cramb. an answer to Won Bern
hardi; THE Secrets of the German
War Office by DR.. Armgaard Karl
Graves; and War, What For?e by
Kirkpatrick.
These are all receiving most popular
attention. The one book most called
for Is Kirkpatrick's War. What
For?" In the way of more historical
reading a book relating TO Austria
and much in demand is the "Haps-
burg Monarchy" by III. w. Steed.
Other books are Readings in Euro
pean History" by Robinson, and
Europe Since 1876 by Charles Dow
ming Hazen. More calls are made for
books on Belgium and France than
on Russia and Japan. In particular
there are many Inquiries for accounts
of the violation of the treaty guar
anteeing the neutrality of Belgium
and of the laws of war as related 10
the invasion of Belgium territory. A
that meets these inquiries
has been issued by the Macmillan
Company. New York.
There is a steady request for Of

etc. The purpose OF this book is 10
interpret religion from The point of
view of inner experience, in contrast
with the creeds and organizations bv
which ii is often judged. Approach
ing the subject in an essentially philo-
sophical spirit the author endeavors
10 discover and develop a standard by
which various types of religion may
be estimated. Emphasis is placed
upon the practical values, on the
common basis of the spiritual life. al
though the doctrines insisted on in
The churches are not excluded. The
essentially social nature Of man re-
sarded as a religious being is taken
as central clue and social SER
vice is given prominent place
as one of the chief tests of
true spirituality AS a whole the
book strongly emphasizes the in
ner light, spiritual guidance and the
modes of thought common to The
Quakers. Quietists, and all who be-
lieve in spiritual meditation Yet IL
departs in a measure from this type
nf thought by giving more attention
TO the social values of Christianity.
The experience of the divine presence
is taken as the clue to all that is most
consequential in the religious life, and
Zach individual is counseled to make
the utmost Of his own approach to
that experience. But the aim of the
book Is 10 supply the corrective of

On the night of the ball Norton
dined with Florence for the first time,
and for once in his life he experienced
that petty disturbance of collective
thought called embarrassment To
talk over war plans with Jones was
one thing. but to have Jones serve
soup was altogether another. All
through dinner Jones replied to ques-
tions with no more and no less than
YES, sir" and mo, sir Norton was
beginning to learn that this strange
man could put on dozen kinds of
armor and always retain his in

something vaguely familiar about the
impassive face of the butler, as il he
had seen it somewhere in the past but
could not tell when or where. AS he
and Florence were leaving for the
automobile which was to take them
to the princess. the truth came home
to him with the shock of a douche
of ice cold water. Under his breath
he murmured: You're a wonderful
man, Jones, and I take my hat off
to you with the deepest admiration.

asked the happy girl at his side.

only when the first waltz began that
she became herself and surrendered
TO the arms of the man she loved.
And they were waltzing over a
volcano. She knew il and he knew it.
From what direction would the blow
come? Well, they were prepared for
all manner of tricks
In an alcove off the ballroom sat
Braine and olga. both dressed ex-
actly like Norton and Florence. An
other man and woman entered pres

a moment, as if giving instructions,
which was indeed the case.
The band crashed into another
dance, and the masqueraders began
swirling hither and thither and
thither and yon. A gay cavalier
suddenly stopped in front OF Flor
