 Let me suggest that in addition to the subscripuon books also be given. There ale many private libraries throughout the state that may contrib ute u.rect.y to the cantonment iibrar- ies. 1 suggest that those Tn charge of .ne establishing of these libraries pub ilsh lists Of tile books desired and the numt CT of each required. Let these lists e mailed to every one who is be- lieved to be able to respond effectively and later let collectors go aDout and secure the volumes contributed. Ill the event that too many books of any class or subject are contributed the eX- cess may be returned. In this way only desired books in a serviceable and readable condition would be accepted. The adoption of some such plan would make impossible the dumping on the IibIarles a rot of the literary refuse : that generally constitutes a not incon- siderable part of most private libraries. The chance for posing as a loyal and self sacrificing citizen and at the same tune purging ones library of a large IIt'-ll Jl ubll anu NUiutitSS NOiulIto would not he overlooked by some of the less conscientious. The real citizen will give of his best books and he can him self measure the value of his gift when he looks into the empty spaces on his book shelves where once stood his be- loved volumes
 If the execution of this plan did not yield the books needed for the canton- rnent libraries the deficiency could be covered by purchase. 1 believe that the following of this plan would result in great saving of money and would touch chord of sympathetic interest hat would not be reached by the cold contribution of cash.

SCRIPTURE
Proverbs 16:1-9


 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, IS from the Lord.
 All the ways of q man are clean in his own eyes; bGt the Lord weigh eth the spirits.
 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established
 The Lord hath made all things ,fol himself: yea, even the wicked for the day Of evil.
 Every one that is proud in heart is n abomination to- the Lord; though nand join in hand, he shall not he Inpunished
 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged; and by the fear of the Lord ,len depart from evil. When a mans ways pleased the Lord he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is little with righteousness than great revenues without right. A mans heart devsseth his way: ut the Lord directeth his steps.

The Central Powers and Peace

Whether the Teutonic replies the papa peace note, appearing to accept the proposal of Benedict will bring peace appreciably nearer or whether they intended to have that effect for time at least be matter of conjecture There may be sig nificance in the fact that for twenty hours the chancelleres and the newspapers of the allied bel ligerents have withheld comment There may later be President Wilson who is understood to have been the voice of the allies on August 2S definitely rejected the proposal so that any official comment

may be regarded unnecessary. The incident may be considered by them to have been closed
 It must have been understood by Germany and Austria that their replies are the nature of fcial acknowledgements of the proposal which from that high could not have been received in silence
 The effect of the replies will probably be great only in the countries of the Powers in of the entente we'll The German emperor may say to his people: "The struggle is of life of death; enemies having rejected from the high est authority a proposal of peace terms under which the Fatherand could survive, relentlessly resolved upon it's destruction same appeal would be equally strong the Turks and Bulgarians and hardly less to the various Austria Hungary
 So, the replies though inspired by a deep respect for the Holy Pontiff may have been intended especially for consumption by the people of the Central Nations. To them the replies may be epitomized in the words Luther, "I stand here. I cannot do otherwise. God help Amen"
 The effect will not be felt among the people of the Central Powers alone In all the allied nations there is strong sentiment for peace. It is trouble some and dangerous in France It has been at the bottom of the frequent changes in the French min- istry It is controlled with the greatest difficulty and statesmen tremble for the moment when it may longer be kept in control It IS becoming more and disturbing in Italy There also strong peace sentiment in England though it is not embarrassing to the government a political issue and is likely to become In country. not taking into professional pacifists dreds of thousands of and who ask ing there is way of this awful conflict
 To all these the Teutonc reply will appeal strongly. It will not matter them that the replies not categorcal that while they express strong desire peace, they do touch upon the tentative suggestions by the pope for basis of negotia tions. We know of the terms which Ger many would accept peace than knew before
 It is possible that the replies intended only to precede definite statement by the German chan celor at meeting the reichstag Wednesday, of the which Germany will end the war
 In the meantime there is put upon all the allied the business of defense apd explanation to people and it will be easy business. show to the average citizen why destructive and ruinously expensive should be continued when side is camorng for peace.
