PARIS SOCIETY IS
SHOPPING FOR SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press

Paris, July 21-Sunday last un-
der other circumstances would have
been the day of the Grand Prix, the
great summer social and sporting
event that marks the close of the Per-
sian social season and the exodus of
fashion to the mountains, springs
and seashore. This year the exodus
began earlier but was less noticea BILE.
Society remained to collect money
for the orphans of the war and judg-
ing from the animation at the prin-
cipal shopping centers since 1t is in
no hurry to go. From four to six
the big stores are as crowded as at
any time of the year and it is due to
the Parisienne to say she is not
merely shopping" and that what she
buys is not always for herself
Articles for soldiers" Is the de-
partment most frequently inquired
for. Which," is the stereotyped
reply, for nearly all have their sold
iers' annex The essential, the use
full. the agreeable and even the triv-
ial have their place in the cOllec-
tions of articles to be sent to the
front, from bullet proof head shields
to rerfumcd tale powder and bon

The makeup of soldiers packages
follows not only the season but also
every variations in tactics at front
With the gauze to keep flcs and mos
quitoes from carrying disease to the

Waterproof garments that were in
great demand when the soldiers were

secticides TO flight the yermin that
have invaded the trenches since they
have dried. The pipe of triumph"
and the 'repast of victory are
among the articles offered every

Many houses are doing thriving
business in aluminium bottles and

EGYPTIAN IN CHARGE
OF SULTANIC LIBRARY
(By Associated Press }

Cairo, July 21-The directorship
of the Sultanic Library, which has
heretofore always gone to a German,
is to be given to Ahmed Lutfi Bey,
native Egyptian. This was one of
the posts reserved for the German
government though an agreement
made in years gone by. just as some
Egyptian positions still remain which
belong ia the French In 1911, the
Egyptian government tried to induct
Germany to allow the appointment
of an Egyptian, and during dispute
of two years the dictatorship was
untitled. Then the Egyptians gave
in and a German was appointed. The
war. of course, afforded an excuse
for breaking the agreement.
The Sultanic Library, one of the
finest in the Near East, contains 76,-
900 volumes and some rare manu-
scripts.
Ahmed Bey is not a librarian, but
a lawyer. Under the old regime, no
Egyptian received any special train
ing for the work.

CENSORSHIP IS VIGOROUSLY oP.
POSED BY PRESS AT ROME
BY Associated Press }

Rome, July 21-The Roman press
has Joined vigorously in the chorus
of protest which is going up from
every country in active war, against
the difficulties of the censorship.
Aside from the fact that the censors
are military men, and unable to
Judge matter from newspaper view
point. embarrassment is caused be-
cause there are several distinct bod
les of censors, some of whom allow
certain news to pass while others
suppress it.
An effect of the censorship on
Roman papers is that the Milan jour-
nails are finding great favor in the
capital. The reason is, the Milan
censor is very liberal, and the Rom
an censor severe, the consequence
being that the Milan papers are Of
ten the first to bring news to Rome.
The latest and most notable exam
pie is of the Pope's interview with
tht vi tHt
berte. The Corriere Della Sera pub
lished it in full. while no Roman pa
per was even allowed to mention it,
but when the Milan paper arrived in
Rome, the censorship on the inter
view was finally lifted here.
The Roman papers do not object
to the suppression of military news,
which might even indirectly help
Italy's enemies, but much is censor
ed which is not military news at all.
The newspapers here are also con-
frOnted with the mystery of the fact
that some foreign countries are al
lowed to have Italian news two or
three days earlier than the italians
themselves get it,

GERMANS ARE TRYING TO CUT
OFF RUSSIAN RETREAT AS
WELL AS CAPTURE WARSAW
(By Associated Press.)

London, July 81 1.-Rumors that
Warsaw had fallen are circulating
here. The latest communications
from both sides, however, indicate
that the Austro-German rush to-
ward the Polish capital has slowed
down. The Russians continue to
lose ground apparently, though the
campaign has not yet reached a de-
cisive issue. The latest important
German success is reported south of
Invangorod. The Germans claim
that the Russians counter attacks
have failed and Windau ID definitely
in the hands of the Germans, who
are now thirty-five miles from Riga.
The possession Of Riga would force
the Russians to retreat from near
Shawl and Mitau The actions of
the Germans indicate that they are
trying to cut off the Russian retreat
as well as capture Warsaw.
Mine warfare on the British
front and isolated actions on the re-
mainder of the western battle line
are not important enough to detract
public attention from the Russian
front.
The Italians are reported to have
waged fierce battle yesterday
along the lsonzo front, with success
on the COrse Plateau.

BRITISH MUSEUM COLLECT.
ING WAR LITERATURE
Associated Press.)

London, July 81. The British
museum plans to have the finest COL
lection in the world of the war liter
ature produced during the present
conflict. Not only English books,
but publications in French. Russian,
Italian, German and other European
languages, are being obtained from
every available source.
1--WE shall not expect or desire to
obtain every war book published"
explained the head of the library,
"for many of them are of course
valueless, and we exercise the same
discrimination in purchasing a 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 a fairly
good collection of what has been
published in Germany and Austria
since the beginning of operations.
1--WE have not added any experts
in military literature to our staff.
We have our own experts who devote
their energies each to the literature
of particular nation 1t is for them
to deal with the war books of the ma
tion concerned.
Germany seems to be very prone
to religious works on the war. We
have quite a number of German the
illogical 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
admittedly the greatest and most
cosmopolitan in the world. 1t has
the best French library outside of
France, and the best Russian IL
brary outside of Russia Its collec-
tion of Italian literature is unex-
celled except for that in the Vati-
can. So far as French literature is
concerned, 1t has books which do
not exist even in France, owing to
the revolution and the wars of lS4S
and 1870 Refugees of the French
revolutionary period brought many
valuable works to the great English
library.
Have the Belgian refugees of the
4iresent era brought many gifts to
the museum" the director was
asked.
"A few." he replied, but unfor-
tunately their departure was gener-
ally so hurried that they had little
opportunity to bring such things
with them"
The staff of the museum has been
depleted about 80 per cent by en-
listments. Several of the official
staff are officers in the new armies,
while the library and museum at
tendants are serving as non-com-
missioned officers or in the ranks.
The work of those who remain is
partly lightened by the fact that
the number of visitors and readers
has fallen off nearly so per cent
during the past year.
