long as the war lasts.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis Of
Illinois is very much in favor of cur
failing debate in the senate. Although
he is engaged much of the time in max
ing speeches throughout the country
on subjects pertaining to war work. he
stopped long enough in the senate the
other day to deliver number of inter-
esting observations.
There are orators in this body, but
there are no orations," was one Of his
observations. He went on to say that
if Clay, Webster and Calhoun should
deliver some of their phil0sophic dis
QUESTIONS in the senate at the present
time even the pages would not remain
to listen. During the debate on the
resolution declaring war on Germany
there was not one grafton delivered in
the senate that will ever be quoted by
historians as a model of eloquence or
as an inspiration of patriotism" was
another remark by Lewis.

Association Has Real Task
Dividing Soldiers Books

the following statement yesterday:
Men Who Use Library.
'To this central library come the
men who are accustomed to use pub
lie libraries for study and recreation.
They are the ambitious ones vino
know they need books, and who want
them. But they are perhaps the mi
nority in a large camp, where there
is diversity of tastes as wide as
that among men in a city.
THE camp librarian must see that

in all the recreational agencies in
