BE RAISED FOR WAR

Washington, Sept. 22.-The Ameri-
can people must raise $4,000, ,G00,00y
to support the war this year. Secre-
tarv McAdoo told West Virginia bank
ers at White Sulphur Springs, W.
Va.
Less that s4,ooO,oOo,o00 Of this
probably will be raised by taxes. The
rest is up to the American people, he
said. They must show their faith
and patriotism by purchasing the
bonds to be offered.
Secretary McAdoo then urged the
necessity for every class to>get be-
hind these bonds, declaring that no
one class finance the war.
The funds so raised, he explained
IRE first, to maintain our own armies
m the field, and, second, to extend
loans and credits to the nations max
ing common cause with us.
So that every man, woman anc
child may help, war savings certi-
fcates are to be issued. Certificates
will be in IS denominations, purch-
asable for s4.1O and after five years
redeemable for S..
New bonds which Will De issued
will differ from the Liberty bonds OF
the first issue in that they bear I
ner cent instead Of IL per cent.
They will be exempt from all save
inheritance .supertax and war prohs
and estate tax.

TO BE LENIENT
WITH EXEMPTIONS

Columbia, Spet. 21.-Where drar-
ed men failed to respond to the call
of their local board through ignor-
ance or some other cause that would
relieve them from imputation Of bad
faith, the adjutant general is instruct
ed by Provost Marshal Genera
Crowder to postpone forwarding them
to mobilization camps until such
claims for exemption as they may
have can be passed upon.
General Crowder today wired Gov
ernor Manning as follows in this re-
gard:
washington, Sept. 21.
Governor of South Carolina, Colum-
bia, S. G.
1t has developed that many men
reported to the. adjutants general o1
the states on form 164-A, as provided
in section 3, form 25, have failed to
respond to the call of their local
boards due to causes that relieve them
from any imputation of bad faith or
desire to evade their obligations. In
some cases such persons are plainly
physically disqualified, in some cases
they are ignorant aliens who are un-
able to speak or read the English
language, and some times they are
persons living in remote districts who
have obviously irrefragible claims
for exemption and whose failure 70
present themselves is not at all cur
Fable.
"Whenever such circumstances
come to the attention of the adjutant
general he should postpone the for
warding OF such persons to mobilliza-
tin camps until he can request the
proper local board to extend the tine
and hear such claims of exemption
If the claim is sustained the ordo- IN

taken to restrict this leniency to

may not result in a lax response to
the calls of local boards"

Soldiers Libraries

The lonely hours, unoccupied by
military activities, are intolerably
long to the soldier, sailor or airman.
Homesickness, dread, fair, tempta
tion, enter and unfit men for duty.
Camp libraries, supplying the
right book at the right time, have
proven of inestimable value in mann
tanning morale, furnishing sane re-
creation, and permitting study for
promotion.
The Library War Council, Sppolns-
ed by the War Department, wh the
lAmerican Library Association, IS
raising one million dollars during
"Camp Library Week." September
1928, to build, equip, and maintain
libraries and buy books for every U.

HELP TO RAISE LIBRARY
FOB SOLDIERS IN CAMP

Columbia, S. c., Sept z0' lS1''
To the Editor of The Herald and
News:
An effort is now on foot to raise
a million dollars to furnish million
books for a million men in the MILL
tary service of the United states
The sum looks large; but In our
population of hundred million 1t IS
a dollar to every hundred persons, or
one cent to every person-three hum
dred and fifty dollars for NeWDerry's
population of thirty-fve thousand, OF
one cent for every one of the thirty
I'VE thousand. And any contribution
will be acceptable-a dime, or
nickel, or even penny.
Reading matter will be greatly
needed by our men during the months
they must spend in training camps
and in their service beyond the ocean.
Good books will give occupation TO
their minds during the many hours
of idleness, will afford them RELIEF
from brooding about home and their
kseparation from the .employments and
kpleasures Of their former lives and
will serve to improve their minds and,
in many cases, their morals. AS an
Old soldier, can testify that in the
war Of Secession one OF the most
wearisome features Of camp life, to
those Of us who could read, was the
want Of something tosread. Many
then could no5 read, but now there is
hardly a.man in the service who can
not read and write.
