Books Wanted for
Boys at the Front
Bring Spare Books to Library Next
Week and Have Them Forwarded TO
Soldiers in France

Next week while the people are
gathering up their spare clothes to
contribute to the Belgian relief fund,
they are also requested to remember
to gather up spare books to send to
the boys in France. The following APP
peal from the Idaho Travelling library
bears on this point:
Someone at the front is fighting for
you. Back him up by giving him
good books. We have not forgotten
that our men who are going to war
are human beings, and we do not want
them to be entirely without home-life
influences. Two million books are
needed to furnish reading matter for
our soldiers and sailors in camps in
America, on transports, on board ma
val vessels and overseas.
nationwide Book Drive is to be
conducted by the library war service
of the American Library association,
during the week of March 18th to 25th
and every citizen in your community
is urged to contribute books from his
private collection In almost every
home there are books purchased re-
Gently, or standard volumes still pop
ular, which are seldom referred to.
They should be put to use in these
free circulating Libraries for soldiers
and sailors.
There is no danger of giving too
good books or too many. All sorts OF
books are in demand; non-fiction is
called for as much as fiction. Books OF
references; books on the war; books
on the trades, technical and profess
sional subjects; recent text books in
mathematics; civil, mechanical and
electrical engineering; books of new
and standard poetry, biography, his
tory and travel are in demand.

construction after the war is over"
The national chairman arrived here
today to meet Republican committee
men from New England and Della

He. explains there is no political sig

MILWAUKEE,, March 11-With ex-
Governor Francis e. McGovern out
of the senatorial race today, Victor l..
Berger, Socialist candidate and under
indictment for alleged disloyalty, is
claiming victory both at the primary

says that with the indictment of Ber-

Berger in his statement said that
McGovern showed an ignorance OF the
law regarding his talk about the in
dictment "He should know" said
Berger, that an indictment is not a
conviction and that the indictment as
such, does not bar any man from
being elected to office"

This means that the schedule Of IN

Ambassador di Collere of Italy and
Minister Eckengren Of Sweden were
called to the State Department and
consulted about the situation The
Italian ambassador is understood to

II was also made clear that further
restrictions on trade between Italy

ranged in order to divert tonnage re-

have been obtained by the war trade
board to show that a considerable
quantity of the wheat exported from
America to Italy has returned here in

Minister Eckengren was asked to
urge every means of speeding up the
existing negotiations with Sweden for
certain number of ships from that
country. Sweden had received num-
Der of concessions from the United

The allied battlers, convinced that
they must carry the bitterest fighting
burden Of the war until the great re-
serves of America reach their side, are
battling desperately, The Service of
death performed by the gallant
French troops, who blazed away from
atop Mont KENNEL until wiped out by
the German hordes, is only one of the
many tales told in the cables. Dis
patches from Rome to Italian Ambasso-
dor Cellere told how two auxiliary Ital-

surrounded by Germans while engaged
in construction work in France, fought
with picks and shoyels-their only
weapons-until they escaped to the
British lines.

Misunderstanding of men who
have become p since last June was
approved by the house. Under an
amendment by Representative Hull OF
Iowa, they will be put at the foot of
the list and called only when all avail
able men under last years registra-
ton have been taken into service
This and another provision which
does away with military exemption for
divinity students will necessitate a
conference with the senate. Chairman
Dent of the military committee an.
nounced that the war department will
order the registration of the, men
made eligible by this bill June 5, the
anniversary Of the first enrolment.
All men who have reached q by that
date must register; they will be
classed after answering question
naires, on exactly the same terms as
men enrolled year ago.
Under an agreement proposed
amendments to register men from q
to 40 were postponed to prevent com

measure
II such men are registered, how
ever, It will be June also.
Representative Hull won his fight to
put the 1918 class of young men at
the foot of the list, after reading a
statement from the war department
that it neither favored nor opposed the
amendment The vote fayoring the
amendment was 119 to 81.
Divinity students lose their exemp-
ton, military committee members
said, because there has been an alb
