we have not only obtained a one-am-
munition rifle but a rifle with parts
which may be interchanged quickly
on the battIefields Of Europe and
which may be turned out by three
factories in this country. The ord
nance bureau is willing to stand on
this basis, inasmuch as every soldier
will be supplied a rifle Of that type
when he starts for France.
There are now at each Of the
cantonments 5000 rifles suitable for
drilling purposes. A rifle to each
man is not imperative for purposes
of drill as the companies can drill at
different hours. The main thing is
to supply rifles when the trained men
are ready to leave. and such rifles
will be rapidly turned out now by
three factories and two government
factories which have equipped them.
selves during the summer for the
work and can supply the rifles in suf-
ficient numbers at the required time

Brig. Gen. William Crozier. chief OF
ordnance, authorizes the following
stateme emit:
"My attention has been called t.
published reports that there is a
shortage of rifles at the cantonments
and that three rifle manufacturing
concerns have been idle during the
summer when they might have been
engaged in manufacturing rifles.
These arms companies have not
been idle, but have been making ex-
tensiye preparations for turning out a
rifle which would give us both a rea-
sonable degree of Interchangeable

munition. Two of them have begun
making deliveries.
1.-TWO days ago the deliveries OF
these three factories and the two
government ones were 1900 rifles per
day. The deliveries now are more
than 1900 per day and the deliveries
will progressively increase. The
third company, engaged until recent
lily on British contracts, is practically
lready to begin deliveries.
ct may also say that whenever a
soldier is ready to go to Europe-that
| is. when he is trained and equipped in
every other way-a modern rifle will
| be ready for him.
| "At the outset Of the war it was
| fully recognized and explained that
we could pursue two courses-eitheI
| experience a perfectly endurable de
| lay and produce a rifle with inter
changeable parts to use a standard
ammunition, or produce rifles more
rapidly but without INTERCHANGEABLE
ity of parts and incapable of using a
uniform ammunition.

Many towns Not Heard From.

Many Towns NOT 7eard fToH.
It is the statement Of Johnson Brig
ham that there are many cities and
towns of the state, and even entire
counties, which have not responded
with contributions to the library fund.
The plan as begun by the national
council was to raise 100000 Tor the
purchase of books to be placed in the
environments throughout the United
States.
The motto originated by Harold
Braddock is, RAISE 100000 for
ZOO, 900 books for 100000 sol
diers."
Plans for library buildings to be
erected at each Of the environments
have been drawn by architects. The
plans are now in the hands of the
government.
It is planned that $1,000 library
building will be erected at Camp
Dodge. The main building is to be
used mainly as a distribution point.
Each of the main buildings at the
camps is to have circulating libraries.
The camp libraries will be estab-
lished in thirty-two environments and
national guard training camps. 1t is
said that the government will main
tain the libraries at whatever points
there are sufficient soldiers stationed.
Plan of Buildings.
The building as drawn by the
architect will be 40x120 feet in size,
one story high, and will have accom-
modations for 5000 to 10000 books,
newspapers and magazines, and liv-
ing quarters for the staff
This building will have as its dis
tributing points such agency build
ings as those maintained by the Y.
NJ C. A, Knights Of Columbus, and
other similar organizations.
An effort is being made to secure
trained librarians to take charge of
the camp libraries.
The Iowa librarians have recon-
mended the name Of l.. l.. DECKER
son. who resigned as librarian at
Grinnell college to attend the mill
tary training camp at Fort Smelling.
East Preferred.
The first movement was the COL
lection of books. Soon after the
moveme nt was started, the campaign
was stopped In the interest Of a
newer drive which was for the secur-
ing of funds with which to buy books.
The first movement was dropped en-
tirely for the time.
According to the Iowa state direc-
tor of the library fund campaign, the
campaign for the collection Of books
for soldiers is not dead. 1t is stated
that this campaign will be revived
as soon as sufficient money has been
secured to assure the success of the
fund campaign.
Miss Julia Robinson, secretary of
the state library commission, of Des
Moines. has charge of the collection
| of books for soldiers.
At the present time there are
between 5000 and 5000 books
pledged for the cantonment.
It is the plan of the state director
to have at least 5000 books in each
of the Y. M. c. A. buildings at Camp
Dodge as soon as possible.
A question is being asked of the
library directors as to the disposi-
ton of the books after the war.
