RUSSIA TO INTRODUCE
 A TIMELY REFORM

PETROGRAD. Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Aa5or-General Klado. Chief of Naval Educational In. has prepared . radical plan of naval training reform. based on the doctrine that the recent granting Of full political rights to fighting men of both services involves the infusion of new spirit into their education.
 The plan provides that the existing Naval Academy. School for Marinss. Marine Engineering Institute and Sc bastopol Naval Training Corps shall all be directed from q central naval educational institution in this city. Other marine and naval schools will be united with the Sebastopoi corps into a single naval school to be situ. ated in Sebastopol. A radical reform is that, for these schools. all persons will be eligible who have had second. ary education. There will be no priv. ileges for nobles. Thereby the car. ger of naval officer will be opened to Russians of relatively humble posit. ion and means.
 The ultimate aim of the reform il that naval education after the wal will be conducted In . pacifist and sn' ti-militarist spirit. 90 as to prepare for the expected reduction of srmamsnts

ROTTERDAM, Aug. 17.-Experi- ments with 2 newly invented device intended 10 cut the anchor chains of Heating mines and 10 prevent them rom coming in contact with vessel passing through a mine field have been conducted here. it is claimed, win success. The contriyance was invented by Rear Admiral Goedharr Ot the Dutch Navy.
 II was affixed 10 steamship Of the BatayieT Line for series Of tests. The vessel steamed thru field of harmless mines with the result it is asserted, that every mine which bar red her course automatically was pushed aside and it's anchor chain cut
 The invention consists Of a steel prolOngation Of the ships bow. which is easily hoisted or slowed away. IL extends eighteen feet under the water and is designed 10 push the mine an- chOring chains or cables aside to a distance of fifteen feet from either side Of the vessel. Al that point the cables or chains are clipped and the liberated mine rises to the surface fifteen feet from the vessels side. Having once been passed safely, the plan is 10 explode the floating mine by shooting al it.

BOOKS ARE IN GREAT DEMAND IN
 MILITARY CAMPS
Fifty Thousand Books a Week Are Sent in All Parts of
 World.

LONDON. Aug. 17.(Correspondent of The Associated Press)-Opposite Marble Arch stands the home of Lady Battersea. which in pre-war days was the centre of social activity. Now 1t is the headquarters Of the Red Cross Library and is run by Mrs. Gaskell and an army of voluntary assistants. The house is packed with books from floor to ceiling, they cover the walls. are piled up on tables and shelves, overflow into the servants quarters and even into the stables at the back of the house.
 Nearly 50,000 books a week are sent out to all parts of the world. and, in addition to gifts. 100000 books and the tastes of the soldiers are remark. able. and an amazing light has been thrown on the matter of best sellers. Far away into the millions scars the demand for Nick Carter detective stories.
 Every hospital in France. of which there are some 290. receives a parcel of 130 books every three weeks. Pc etry Is very largely in demand and ranges from Shakespeare to modern living poets. The Colonial soldier has an unsuitable curiosity and his chief demand Is for Encyclopaedia Britan. mica in 70 volumes. No demand is refused whether 1t be for the latest handbook on oil engines. theosophy, poultry farming or boxing.
 These parcels of books. 50 forth to all parts of the world wherever the British soldier is fighting. Malta re. ceived 1000 per month. Basrah 5000. Alexandra 5000.

(Associdted Press1

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1S.-Officials here regard it as more than possible that it will become necessary to send federal troops in the states of Mon. tana. Idaho. Washington and Oregon in order to keep the war industries moving and check the disorders pre- valent in those states. The l. W. w. are threatening a general strike to take place on the 20th. Should 1t take place, the situation would become serious. The civil authorities of these states claim that it will be impossible to control the situation.
