down the issue of new clothing and

The war service committee of the
American Library association reports
that 435,000 books were shipped to
American soldiers in France up to
July 1. The books went in tonnage
space granted at the request of Cen
eral Pershing on the decks of trans
ports, where they were used by the
men on the voyage and unpacked for
use in France; in naval vessels for
naval bases abroad; and in Red Cross
tonnage for the hospitals in France
and England.
A total of more than 100000 books
have been supplied by the American
Library association to the camps and
stations in the United States and over
seas. Approximately 100000 of these
BOOKS were purchased, others having
come as gifts from the American peo-
pie through the public libraries of the
country. Nearly 40 library. buildings
have been erected, and 600 camps in
America, alone, have received collec-
lions of books.
Two hundred librarians, including
leaders in their profession in this coun-
try, are giving their time to library
war service. Most of these are serv-
Ing as camp librarians, assistants, and
organizers in the field; others are in
dispatch offices for the shipment of
books to France.

Charles Frederick Weller, associate
secretary of the Fairgrounds and Rec

er, and man power cannot be sustain

Far worse than exhausting Ameri

heavily for the war in child labor, In
creased delinquency, overtaxed nerves,
weakened bodies, and premature
deaths, but England and France turned
to lift war burdens from the children
by giving them q chance to play. There

Offenders Of Ruling VIII Be Punished

Administration Taking Matter

Washington.-The coal industry
vital to winning the war-wll pass
under rigid government control on
April l.
In a proclamation President Wilson
ordered the licensing with exceptions
of all producers, jobbers and dealers
in coal and coke.
At the same time the fuel admins
tration issued drastic regulations re.
ducing to fixed limit the profits Of
middlemen, jobbers, selling and pur.
chasing agents.
Selling agents for anthracite per.
forming no service whatever were cut
off without any profit at all; those re-
screening the coal were allowed five
cents ton for this service. This rule,
II was explained, will automatically
eliminate this class of middlemen.
Purchasing agents who buy for an,
other without becoming the owner OF
the coal may charge 10 cents q ton
for bituminous. 20 cents for anthracite
for delivery east OF Buffalo and 80
cents west Of Buffalo, with an add
tional cents per ton In each case
for rescreening at ports. So-called
purchasing agents" who in reality be-
come owners OF the coal are barred
from extorting any Commission" what'
ever.
There can be but one commission
paid for the purchasing service; or II
there are two or more purchasers their
combined commissions must not ex.
coed that Of one.
The move was aimed almost wholly
at the middleman. the jobber extorting
excessive profits and the hoarder;
since those miners OF coal and manu-
facturers of coke distributing their
own products exclusively are exempt
under the proclamation. Retailers,
though. for the present are not to be
affected.
The control to be set is almost ident.
ical with that exercised over food.
Dealers must do business under gov
eminent license. and must conduct
their affairs and regulate their profits
and practices as the fuel administra-
ton says.
