WILSON'S DAUGHTER
VISITS HIS OLD HOME

SAVANNAH, Ca, Dec. l1-Spend-
ing the day in the city that had been
her mothers home and the scene Of
Of her marriage. and meeting many
OF the family friends and renewing
old associations, Miss Margaret Will
son, daughter Of the President, had
her first glimpse of Savannah yester-
day since the time she was here as
little child OF FIVE.
Miss Wilson attended services yes
terday in the Independent Presbyte-
rian church, sitting with her cousins,
MIR. and Mrs, Palmer Arson and the
Misses Arson. It was an occasion
Of great significance to her as this is
the church in which her great-grand-
father, DR.. Arson, preached for more
than thirty years and which her moth
er attended as a girl. After service
the members of the congregation gath
cred around her and she held what
amounted to a reception, although one
for which she was unprepared.
The cordially of the greeting she
received greatly touched Miss Wilson
and her own interest in everything
about the church associated with her
family was very warm Afterwards
she visited The Manse', where her
mother was married to Woodrow Will
son, and saw the place where they
stood for the ceremony and the room
in which part of her mothers girlhood
was spent
Miss Wilson dined with Mr.. and Mrs
Palmer Arson, the only other guests
being the Misses Arson. Many people
called afterwards and she was very
late starting for drive, which took
her over the White Bluff road, many
OF the scenes along which her mother
was fond of sketching, and out to
Laurel Grove where her great-grand-
father is buried Mrs. W. w. Doug
las was her hostess for the drive. III
tie evening she had a tea with the
Misses Arson in their apartment
Today will be spent by Miss Wilson
very quietly in her apartment in the
De Soto. Her first public appearance
will be tonight when she will sing 1T
the auditorium for the benefit of war
relief, the occasion being the first time
the auditorium has been used. AT
forwards she will hold an Informal re-
ception there and later will be enter
tanned by Mr.. and Mrs. Lawton at a
buffet supper

AID TO GERNANY
TEN DIVISIONS HAVE BEEN
SHIFTED FIRM RUSSIAN FR0NT
AND SENT To FRANCE AND
ITALY TO FIGHT.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 1.-THE re-
ported presence of ten new divisions
OF Teutonic troops on the Italian front
is as convincing an answer as could
be made to your query as TO the eff
feet of the German-Austrian-R Russian
armistice on the eastern 'front.'
This statement was made by milf
tary expert Of high rank, who was
asked to discuss the probable effect
of the armistice on the Italian AMI
western fronts. Continuing, he said
1T is entirely probable also tina.
the vicious blows struck by Crown
Prince Rupprecht on the Cambriai
sector of the western front were the
result of strong reinforeements Of
picked troops from the eastern front
"We do not know just how many
German and Austrian troops are on
the easetrn front 1t has been put as
high as lat divisions This probably
Is an exaggeration, especially in view
Of the fact that the Russians have
been doing no active fighting fof
months. The skeletons Of 14i diyi
sions may still remain on the Russian
front, but I am sure that the person
mel of that number of divisions is not
there.
With the formal suspension Of hos
tiiities under the armstice there will
be nothing to prevent the Germans
and Austrians Withdrawing all but
a thin line OF troops from the eastern
fighting front
"An armstice forbids any increase
in the fighting forces involved, but
does not prevent the furloughing OF
the men by either side. My idea is
that Russia is now definitely and
finally out of the fight, and that the
talk about the Cossacks and other
more conservative forces coming for
ward again as an effective fighting
force may as we'll be dismissed right
now.
"Refardless OF what may have been
responsibleIr press dispatches for
months have made it clear that the
great masses Of the Russian people
favor a cessation of hostitlities. 1t IS
reasonable to assume that Hindenburg
will make the greatest possible use o.;
the forces so released on the western
and Italian front.
There would seem to be COOL
ground for the persistent reports from
Paris, London and Rome that tho
enemy Is planning smashing drives on
the western and Italian fIorts not
later than early spring, in the hope
OF being able to smash through before
tie United States can make its great
strength in men and resources fully
felt.
Germany and Austria will have
little hope of smashing through either
front when large numbers of thor
oughly seasoned American troops have
taken their palces in the fighting lines.
They may be able to make real pro-
gress against the Allies by utilizing
at once the men released by the armis-
tice."

THE REPORT FILED
Of PUBL|CL|BRARY
Branches, School Library Sta
tons and More Maintenance
Money Needed.
LIBRARIANS BRANCH PLAN

Theodore w. Noyes. president of the
trustees of the Public Library. filed the
report of the library board with the
District Commissioners this morning.
Mr.. Noyes points out that thus far in
the history of the Public Library the
primary effort has been to strengthen
and develop the central library by
building up a strong collection of books
for circulation purposes and by the or
ganization of an adequate and efficient
library staff to make this collection
available to the public. He points out
that the basic support of the library is
and long has been Inadequate. and that
the trustees have for years made deter
mined efforts to secure from Congress
an annual appropriation of at least
100000. in order to raise the library
standard of support to that of libraries
in other American cities of Washing
tons class and to equip and sustain 1t
like other municipal libraries. He
states that the library trustees have
shown again and again that in COM
parison with other cities Washington
has neglected it's Public Library. and that
among municipal functions library
maintenance here has been permitted
to fall behind

Specific Recommendations.

The librarian closes his special report
with the following specific recon
mendations on the first steps toward
carrying out his program:
1. Try to secure legislation designed
to grant authority to erect the first
branch library building, the proposed
southeastern branch.
2. In addition to putting forth efforts
to secure the increases in the library
staff still needed for the main organ
ization, strive to secure an enlarge
ment in the appropriation for the Ii
brary's substitute fund, from which it
would, If Increased, be possible to en-
ploy a number of branch librarians,
who would conduct library branches in
several of the school buildings now
having vacant rooms. 1t would also be
necessary to secure a considerable in
crease in the book appropriation to
make even a modest beginning in es-
tablishing school branches.
s. Designate the thirty-four emu
merated school buildings as present or
future branch library centers and adopt
ton that before any school building is
erected or enlarged the Public Library
board shall be consulted as to whether
branch library is needed in connec-
ton with such school building.
DIR. Bowerman states in his main re-
port that arrangements are being made
for opening branch libraries this fall
in the Park View and Powell schools
on substantially the basis recommended
in his special report, except that the
libraries will be housed in enlarged
second floor corridors and not in first
floor rooms with street entrances.

subject, made several months ago to the
Commissioners, at their request. are sub
mitted as parts Of the report Of the library
board.
From the librarians report 1t appears
that several years ago the library board
had adopted a resolution declaring that
1T is desirable to establish small branches
Of the Public Library in public school
buildings. SO selected az to bring library
advantages within easy reach of residents
including children. now practically unable
to use the library; and that in
the erection Of new school buildings the
library needs Of sections not otherwise
furnished with Public Library facilities be
kept in mind and selected school build
ings be provided with library rooms. hav-
ing outside entrances convenient to the
street" This resolution. the librarian re-
ports. has been adopted and readopted by
successive boards of education, but. no
public school buildings have yet been
built to afford the recommended space for
Public Library branches
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-10-10

posal to have branch libraries in school
buildings, for use by adults as well as
by children. is in harmony with the
movement for the fuller use OF pubic
school buildings as community centers,
and that authorities on community cen :
ter activities agree that tho Public LII
brary Is an important feature In COM
munity center work.
Before giving his list OF present and
future schools which he selects as ap-
propriate as Public Library centers the
librarian states that wherever new
buildings are to be erected for SUCH
schools or old buildings are to be en-
larged it is exceedingly important that
separate rooms be provided on the
ground floor. convenient to the street.
with outside entrances. BY this means
1t will be possible to use the library IN
dependently of the rest of the building.
with consequent saving in light, heat
and janitor service"
The librarian also recommends that
wherever Public Library branches are
established in school buildings light
heat and janitor service be sup
piled at the cost of the board Of educa-
ton, and that the books and library
service be furnished at the cost of the
Public Library"
The librarian then lists thirtyfour
schools, for the most part located in the
suburbs, that he picks out as serving
communities lacking branch library ia
cilities. These include buildings that
no" nave vacant rooms lhdI couiu nc
adapted to library use, buildings that
are to be enlarged to meet the needs of
growing school populations and pro-
posed new school buildings. The list
includes a few school buildings that
might be temporarily used for library
purposes until the proposed separate
branch library buildings are establish
ed. The librarian also raises the ques-
ton whether, in cases where school
buildings cannot be enlarged and there
is no space in the buildings for branch
libraries. portable buildings for the
branches might not be used, just as they
are now used for overflow school build
inc
