SOLDIERS LIKE FICTION
Harold Bell Wright, o. Henry and
Peter Is. Kyne Are Popular.

What sorts of books do the wound
ed soldiers in hospitals and men in
camps awaiting rehabilitation most
desire? According to the library war
services of the American Library asso-
citation the Immediate pressing need is
for light current fiction. the mems
minds turning quite distinctly just now
to recreational reading
A recent list of books particularly
wanted includes such writers as Rex
Beach. B. NJ. Bower. Edgar Rice Bur-
roughs, Zane Grey. Henry Herbert
Knipps, o. Henry, Peter B. Kyne, E.
Phillips Oppenheim. Mary Roberts
Reinhart. Bertrand W. Sinclair. Booth
Harrington, Stewart Edward White
Harry Leon Wilson and Harold Bell
Wright
1t is evident from this list that what
the soldiers are looking for is stories
Of action The one characteristic these
writer's have in common is their dra-
matte ability. Books by any of these
writer's are especially welcomed as
gifts for the men in service and can
be sent to any public library with the
assurance that they will promptly be
forwarded.

MORALE WAS Low
Discipline on Hun Ships Vic.

British Hercules After Inspec.
ton Trip, Brings in Report.

London. Dec. 2s british Wireless
Service1.-Bearing an allied commits
sion which inspected German naval
bases and airship and seaplane sta
lions under the terms of the armistice,
the British battleship Hercules has re-
turned to her home port. During q
trip fraught with peril many German
ports were visited and preliminary ar
rangement fof the surrender of Ger
man warshfps made.
A dramatic episode of the voyage
was the passage Of the Kiel canal on
December 49, Accompanied by the
British destroyers verdun and Viceroy,
the Hercules gave the Germans along
the banks OF the canal their first
sight of the British flag since 1914
when light British cruisers passed
thru
Made En- s.Sing OUT
Germans who watched the ships
were, for the most part, indifferently
curious but not infrequently women
and children waved their hands
There was not the slightest response
from the ships. Discipline on board
the German war ships is very low ac-
cording to officers of the Hercules.
They found on the first enemy ships
boarded, sailors were lounging about
the ships in bad condition as a result
of neglect. This was in direct viola
tion OF the terms OF the drmlsIlce ana
drastic action was taken by the in
speeding officer. He notified the Ger
mans that the ships must be cleared
of sailors and il his orders were not
obeyed he would return to the Hercu-
les and report that he was obstructed
in his work. Fearful of probable con-
sequences the German seamen left
their ships at once
Germans Well Clothed.
Inspection of airplane and seaplane
stations required considerable land
travel, which permitted the members
of the commission to gain information
as to the condition of the people in
the interior of the country. II is re-
ported that every one encountered in
Germany, even in such an industrial
center as Hamburg seemed as well
clothed and fed as are the people of
France and England. Winter crops,
owing to the mild season are doing
well, and the land is well cultivated
and fertilized.

we are content to revive many of the

Roses and Layers OF Tulle.
Since time was and nations have
conquered each other, there has been
a fashion in gowns of gayety for pill
ing one color atop another. 1t has
gone thSu excessive phases in its re-
cent revivals, and we are rather
weary of it in certain manifestations
which have been exploited by the best
known dancers
But hoop-skirts and gypsy ragged
ness have not appeared in the new
ors. Tulle is put over tulle and then
over satin in even lines and with ex-
ceeding slim effect
1t is the same in the usage of roses
as in the layers of colored fabrics.
They have always been symbolic OF
victory and have come in the conquer
or's train. They 1eaped into fashion
after the armistice Das signed in the
same quick and mysterious fashion OF
the numerous French flags that ap-
peared on the balconies and terraces
of the French buildings scarcely ar

it with an air of brayado, rather than
one Of frivolity and gayety. The only
real call for such clothes was for the
opera and the entertainment of SOL
diers and sailors.
