Soldiers In France Need More Books

The Skowhegan Public Library has.
received a request from the American
Library Associations Headquarters
in Washington for more books from
this community for the men overseas.
The appeal from Washington states
that new novels and good Western
stories. whether new or old, are most
needed Books by Zane Grey, Rex
Beach. Jack London, Ralph Connor,
Owen Wister and O. Henry are very
popular. The Public Library an
nounces that it will receive and for
ward all suitable books that are turn
ed in. 1t urges the friends of the
soldiers and sailors, many Of whou
have already responded most gener-
eusly, to give more books
The communication received by the
Library from the Washington Head
quarters states that over 100000 books
have been sent overseas. The supply
is nearly exhausted, and several hun
dred thousand more will be needed
soon by the six dispatch offices which
are now shipping books to France.
The books are packed at these dis
patch offices in strong cases, SO built
that they serve as a bookcase.
They go ON the decks of transports,
in cargo vessels and in naval vessels.
Those that go on the decks of trans
ports are open so that the men may
have reading matter for use on the
voyage All these books are gathered
together again, however replaced in
the cases and delivered to the proper
officials in France.
In France, the books are distribut-
&c by an experienced Librarian, rep
resenting the American Library Asso-
citation. Most of them go to Y. NJ.
C A, Red Cross and Salvation Army
huts, hospitals and canteens. Others
go directly to chaplains and officers.
