Let's Get together on this thing, nov
there is no reason for delay. A Lib
erty Bond here and there will soon pay
the bill.
To get the matter in shape, without
committing themselves in any way and
without expense, we suggest that a
committee of five be organized to get
facts and figures on the subject and re-
port their findings to the public as
quickly as possible.
TO form such a committee, we re-
specially urge that the County Court
appoint one member, the City Council
appoint one these two to serve with the
County Superintendent of Schools, and
either the City Superintendent of
Schools or a person selected by the City
School Board. These four members to
select the fifth member.
This committee would incur no ex-
pense but would merely gather infor-
nation on the subject and put it into
such shape that action could be taken.
May we urge that the selection be-
made at the earliest possible day SO
that the committee can get to work?

the ideals for which we fought rather
than take the form Of a statue, foun-
tain, monument or other thing not com
bining the above features And that
use should be one that could be enjoy
ed by the entire population of city and

Therefore we urge the building of a
small but attractive and modern free
public library, the Memorial Library
of Berkeley county, and filling its
shelves and racks with good books and
periodicals, including the best obtain
able histories of the war and collec-
tons of TIE public documents, messages
and speeches of the times. There should
be fiction, history, travel, text books
and technical works There should also
be tablets naming our boys in The SER
vice.
1t should be accessible to everyone in
the city and county and afford a source
Of entertainment and knowledge not
now obtainable.
We doubt if there is another city and
county Of this size in the whole United
States that is without such an irstitu
ton and we doubt if there is another
that needs one more than we do.

BRAZILIAN STEAMER

Forced German U-BOat to
Submerge

New York, June 12.-Enemy submar-
ines now attempting to blockade the
American coast are becoming increas-
ingly bold in their operations, accord
ing to information in shipping circles
today. A Brazilian steamer arriving at
an Atlantic port, reported it was pur-
sued by U-boat off Jersey but Unit
ed States transport opened fire on the
pirate and made him submerge.
AT another Atlantic porI, sailors of
a British vessel described an encount'
er with two submarines in which one Of
them was rammed by the Brltisher and
possibly destroyed.
Some of the Pinar De Rio crew insist
ed the submarine which attacked their
ship Saturday was accompanied by a
5000 ton steamer with one funnel, paint
ed light grey. This may have been a
"mother ship" or captured freighter
which the Germans are looting at their
leisure.
There were reports Of another mys'
terious mother ship" off the New
England coast. Boston harbOr was clos
