General Pershing wants fifty tons of reading
matter every month. That means at least one hun
dred thousand books per month.
The thirty. seven libraries in the big camps need
from ten thousand to forty thousand books each
There are nearly three hundred comparatively
small camps posts, forts and stations. which need
from few hundred to several thousand volumes
each.
The daily demand for military, naval, technical
and educative books is overwhelming, and nearly
three hundred thousand have been purchased. But
we need at least two million gift books and we need
them now.
