Army and navy journals and news

CARTER LIBRARY
At SCHOFIELDI IS
POPULAR PLACE
Average Circulation of Books
Per. Month is 5000; Writing
Room Always in Use

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Jan. Il
That the general library at Schofield
Barracks, product of the initiative
and energy of Maj.-gen. w. H. Carter,
is the finest thing that has ever been
offered to the enlisted men of the big
garrison, is amply manifested by the
records that have been kept since it
was opened two months ago.
These records we're accurately kept
under the direction of Chaplain Will
liam A. Aiken, librarian, for the pur-
pose of determining just how popular
this library would prove.
During the two months operation
the average number of daily visitors
has been 406; average daily cireula-
ton of books 220, represented among
the different regiments as follows:
First Infantry SO, 25th Infantry As, 4th
Cavalry "a, 1st Field Artillery Is,
Staff Corps Is, civilians 8. The aver
age circulation per month has been
$500, and the largest number of books
taken out in any one day, 1872
mere Is oil uI6cAI ASCu VI AlOiO
volumes, and the librarian would be
grateful for any contributions. There
are at present only 9017 volumes on
the shelves, classified in round num-
bers as follows: Fiction $500, history
and biography 500, travel and discov-
cry 200, science 150, religion and So
GEOLOGY 300, general literature $50,
bound magazines, encyclopedias, etc.,
200, military books IS.
Soldiers Write Many Letters.
Among other equipment the library
is supplied with several writing desks
where all necessary writing material
is kept on hand. These desks are
nearly always occupied and the rec
ords for the last two months show
that nearly 250 letters are written at
the library each week.
The new equipment added since the
library was opened includes a very
fine victrola with so records, large
map showing the theater of war in
Europe, new magazine racks and a
framed photograph OF. the brigade.
There are few specimens of rock
specimens of coral. The librarian
would be glad to receives more of
such articles or island cGrios.
Gymnasium Needed.
If the war department or the Y. NJ.
c. A., or the city of Honolulu will
build at Schofield a large and well
equipped gymnasium, the pleasure
which our soldiers get out of life at
our largest army post would be more
than doubled. ....-:"
There is at present no place to play
basketball. handball and indoor base
ball. Sports are confined to the few
that can be played outdoors. A big
gymnasium, centrally located, would
be place where the gymnasts and
of all the regiments could as
semble, and where the young men anx-
ious for development in this line could
receive instruction and encourage
ment i. H..
All of our other big posts have gym
nasiums-Fort William Mckinley, Fort
Leavenworth and Fort Riley.

MUNITIONS ARE
RAPIDLY Being
BROUGHT HERE
Supply of Rifle and Gun Shells,
Wagons. Etc., for Army is
Being Stored for Future

Large quantities Of ammunition for
small arms and fer the larger guns,
wagons for the use of the army. and
quantities of other supplies have
been reaching Honolulu recently,
showing the disposition OF the War
Department to accumulate here an
adequate supply of munitions
While IL is not possible to secure
detailed information IL is known
through information from the water
front that several heavy shipments OF
ammunition have reached here recent
~, large part of the small arms sup
PLIES being sent to Fort Kamehameha
Previous to this shipment of rifle am
mun,tion, there was a month or more
ago a heavy shipment OF ammunition
for the big guns. Wagons have been
received in large quantities, the ma
jority of them having been sent To-
Schofield Barracks.
During the past few months unusual
activity has been noticeable in army
circles in the matter of getting sup
plies, but far greater, quantities of sup
Plies are needed than have yet been
sent by the War Department.
Old Policy Huge Jest.
Since the European war demonstrate
ed the need of great stores of ammu-
milton in event OF war, military men
have more than ever taken the view
that the policy heretofore adopted of
accommodating the so-called two hours
supply of ammunition is huge Jest
Gen. Z. NJ Weaver, chief of coast ar
tillery, will, 1t Is reported from the
mainland, call the attention Of house
military committee when he ap.
pears before 1t to the shortage of am
munition as the most serious deficien-
cy that exists in accessory material
for the coast defenses.
Army and navy experts state that
the supply of ammunition kept by the
United States is far from adequate
and at outlying posts would be ex-
hausted after period OF fighting OF
too short duration to allow any gain
to be made
II is well known that the military
authorities are now endeavoring to
get large store supply here and that
Washington is cooperating By ship
ping ammunition as fast as possible
under present conditions. The United
States now boasts one of the largest
and most productive ammunition fac
tories ever built, at HopeweIl. Va,
where several kinds of munitions are
made, but most of this output is being
sent to Europe.

X BOATS Being
GIVEN ANNUAL
Cleaning UP

Receiving their regular overhauling,
having their hulls scrubbed, faces
washed, hair combed, or whatever cor
responds to that in a submarine, the
four K boats, forming the third sub
marine division, have been taking life
easy in drydock this week, and their
crews have been enjoying life in Ho-
nolulu instead OF at the sequestered
and mosquito-haunted retreats of Mag
aZine Island at Pearl Harbor.
The ks and KS were the first two
submarines to go into drydock. and
came out today. The XII and K-4 go
in Monday. The things done to them
during the regular overhaul period In
clude the following:
Examining all valves, renewing all
zines, polishing propellers, examining
stern tube glands, and seeing II any
further overhaullng or repairing Is
necessary. III it is, then IL is done.
Painting is also included in the pro-
gram.
After the submarines are through
with their looking over. the subma-
rine tender Alert goes into drydOck.
II is expected she will be there about
10 days, as one side of her hull has
to have scale removed by means of
sand-blast The other side received
this treatment year and half ago,
when the tender was at Mare Island
Navy Yard, San Francisco.
When the Kiss hull came to light
as the water was forced out OF the
drydock Tuesday. her bilge keel was
seen to be somewhat battered. as the
result of her accident Tuesday, De-
cember IA, when she plowed her nose
into a mud bank on the shore OF Ford
Island, Pearl Harbor, while making
practise run. Her rudders stuck, max
ing it impossible to steer the subma
rine away from the shoal. She sus-
tanned no material damage.

new ARMY Shoe MAY HAVE TOP
OFCANVAS TO SERVE ASLEGG|NG

While the military authorities who
have to do with the wearing apparei
of the army are not inclined to reopen
the question of footgear. they have
lately been Interested in new type
of shoe. THIS embodies covering for
the foot of the regulation pattern with
an upper extension of canvas, which
has the effect of converting the shoe
into canVas-top boot.
This is, in other words. a combina
ton shoe and leggin, the latter part
so arranged that it may be easily ad-
justed. There are obvious advantages
of an arrangement of this sort in that
it avoids the separation of two arti,
cles SO commonly used at the same
time in the service. Any change of
this sort, of course, would mean an
extra expense, and the benefits de
rived from new form of foot cover

Lieut. Ogan inspected the building
of the XII and KS, and had charge
of fitting them out and selecting their
crews. He has been with them ever
since their keelS were laid, said
Lieut. F. ]. Lowry, captain of the
Alert, the other day.
Lieut. Ogan was present at the con
