COMPLETE RECORD ON WAR
English Museum Gathering All
Available Data on the Conflict
Going on in Europe.
BOOKS OF ALL THE NATIONS

Correspondence OF the Associated Press)
LONDON. July 16.-The British mu-
scum plans to have the finest oollection
in the world Of the war literature pro-
duced during the present conflict. Not
only English books. but publications in
French. Russian. italian. German and
other European languages, are being OBJ
tained from every available source.
I'VE shall not expect or desire TO OBJ
tain every war book published" explained
the head OF the library, FOR many Of
them are OF course valueless. and we cx-
ercise the same discrimination IN pur-
chasing book about the war as we do
in buying other works. We want all
the cream OF the worlds literature, but
we want none OF the trash OF foreign
war-books generally We are taking about
two or three out of a dozen. We have
already secured fairly good collection
OF what has been published in Germany
and Austria since the beginning OF opera
tons.
Experts Write Books on war.
I'VE have not added any experts In
military literature to our staff We have
our own experts who devote their ener-
gies each TO the literature Of particu-
lar nation II IL for them to deal with
the war books OF the. nation concerned.
Germany seems to be very prone TO
religious works on tho war We have
quite number Of German theological
war books. although we have received no
German books for about ten weeks. We
shall have TO complete our collections Of
German works after the war, although
IN the meantime we shall pick up what
we can as opportunity offers"
The British museums library is admit
teddy the greatest and most cosmopolitan
i'm the world. 1t has the best French
library outside Of Franco and the best
Russian library outside OF Russia. its
collection Of Italian literature is unex-
celled except for that in the vatican. So
far as French literature is concerned, it
has books which do not exist even in
France, owing to the revolution and wars
of 1S4S and 1870. Refugees of the French
revolutionary period brought many vAlu-
able works to the great English library.

APPEAL OF The NAVY LEAGUE
Urges that All Vessels Of the Enemy
Detained in British Ports Be
Seized and Held.
CITES DUTY OF GOVERNMENT

tCorre spondence OF the Associated Press)
LONDON. July i5.-The Navy league,
through It's executive committee. has
published an appeal to the government
to seize all German. Austrian ana TURK
!sh merchant ships detained in the ports
Of the British empire as set-off, In
some measure, against the destruction OF
British merchant vessels without warn
ing by German submarines.
The appeal states that 119 German.
twenty Austrian and eleven Turkish
ships were detained in British ports at
the outbreak Of war. and there were also
eighteen German and three Austrian
ships detained in Egyptian ports. making
a total of III ships detained In all. In
addition. 119 German ships, seven Aug.
trian and five Turkish have been seized
on entering British and colonial ports
or upon the high seas, making total
of sO2 enemy vessels In the possession OF
the British government. The captured
vessels are. of course. subject to prize
court decisions. but the detained vessels
are apparently being held up pending the
conclusion of the war.
Duty of Government.
surely It is the obvious duty OF the
government to turn to practical account
every vessel in their hands for the BEN
eft of British interests" says the ep-
peal. 1.-THE destruction OF British nner-
chant vessels in violation of the laws
OF war offers complete vindication OF
this form OF reprisal. Whatever a prize
court decision may be az affecting
carEoes OF vessels which have been
seized, there should be no hesitation on
the part of the government TO confiscate
enemy ships as an act Of reprisal for
British merchantmen which have been
sunk.
I'm the present exigencies OF the ma
ton, every enemy merchantmen in sea
worthy condition should be actively EN-
ployed as part of the British mercantile
marine The immediate value Of the
adoption of such a policy would be to
convince Germany that It must pay In
kind and at once for its lawlessness at
sea, and in the second place to assist in
considerably modifying the quotations
for shipping freights by stimulating a de-
mand for the use OF these ships by mer-
chants.
THE Navy league, therefore strongly
urges that his majesty's government
should at once follow the example OF
our latest ally, italy. in confiscating at
least an equivalent Of enemy chips 10
those which have been destroyed by
German submarines; and further employ
all enemy ships for the purpose Of Brit
ish sea commerce upon such terms and
under such conditions az may be deemed
advisable"

DR., Miyama Would
Have Japan Secure
Trade Of Philippines

Correspondence of the Associated Press
TOXIC, July M.-"Expand Japan's
trade In the Philippines is the message
which DR.. X. Miyama brings back to hts
fellow countrymen after an extensive
business trip throughout the American
archipelago. He sums up his impressions
In an article which he calls Japan In the
Philippines"
Pointing out that after the United
States comes England and then Japan in
point OF trade, the writer remarks that
Notwithstanding Japan's geographical ad-
vantage over its rivals, II has been able
to surpass only Germany and China In
trading with the islands. The Chinese, ne
says, are especially strong in the interior,
but he thinks the natives have little re-
spect for the cunning Chinese whose
ways they do not like"
As for anti-Japanese sentiment, DR..
Miyama IL happy to say he found none
at all. He says: 1.-THE natives, suffering
to some extent from white oppression,
have little real respect for their masters.
In fact there seems everywhere to pre-
vail a warmer friendship for the Japan
ere than for any other race. even the saw
ages showing them kindness" Both the
American authorities and the natives. he
declares, welcome the Japanese and treat
them with due consideration. e-u..
THE authorities are specially anxious
20 introduce more labor from Japan as
the Japanese prove more satisfactory In
this respect than do the natives. Tho
white hemp companies utilize japanese
labor az far as they can with very salts
factory results Thus the demand for
Japanese labor in the Philippines is al
most unlimited at present. New planta-
tons are always being created: and the
new industry OF abaca promises phe.
