Increased Demand
For Soldiers Books

Paris. Nov. 26.-(By Mail With
more reading time on their handS than
ever before. now that the fighting has
stopped, the American eXpedltionarF
force. which required a million books
month, will deyour literature at a
much more staggering iSure. The book
shelves of every Y. NJ. c. A. hut are
polished daily by the constant return
of books read and the taking out OF
new books and the difficulty Is in sup
plying rapidly enough, according 10
Burton Stevenson, head of the Amer
lean Library Association.
What the soldiers like best in the
way of reading is reported back to MI.
Stevenson thru the y. NJ. c. A, the
Red Cross. and the other organizations
among which the books of the American
Library Association are distributed
as well as thru letters straight from
the soldiers themselves. His forecast
Of what they are going to want was
ca bled back TO the United States the
other day in the following order for
books
Need Immediately 1000 each elem
ontary, advanced arithmetics. geome-
tries. chemistry books, physics agri-
culture stock breeding. forestry. bust
ness methods, accounting, commerce
banking. law. architecture. Two hun
dred each bookkeeping, poultry rails
ing Requests pouring in show trern-
endous demand for echicai, educational
books. Reoryanizing warehouses TO
expedite distribution
Fiction continues to be read by the
army, in spite Of It's more serious trend
of mind at the rate of hundreds of
thousands of volumes a month, Mr..
Stevenson said. kipling and Service
are still the favorite poets OF the Am
orican soldiers. Among the requests
that came in during the past week
we're two for ordinary primers or b
c books. from American born men who
are finding their first opportunity TO
study their own language in foreign
country. Mr.. Stevenson believes that
the need for such educational books in
the months after peace Is declared be
fore the men can go hack to their own
country. will be tremendous.
The American Library Association is
so we'll organized in France that any
soldier who makes a request for
particular book from any camp is apt
to find i. in his hands almost more
quickly than he would be able to pro-
cure Il in the United states. The as
ISOLATION beat It's own records the
other day. however. when two boxes
of books were delivered by airplane to
aviation camps.

Berlin, Dec 19.-The commission ap-
pointed to make a preliminary draft OF
a national constitution has completed
its deliberations and the department
of the interior shortly will present the
proposed charer to the German 1ed-
Grated states for approval.

to have been modelled after the Amer

an executive who will be more re-
stricted in authority than the presl-
deat Of the United States. The upper
chamber, it is proposed, will be MADE
~ Ct delegates from the federated
states. while the lower house will %
composed of general and popular
representatives. Referendum LIS pro,
vided for and suffrage will be universal
direct, equal and secret.

SMITH WOUNDED
 FOR THIRD TIME

Thomas J. Smith, son of MT. and Mrs. Thomas Smith, 1414 Pembroke street, appears on today's casulty list as severely wounded. Corporal Smith who has been wounded three times and is now at the hospital at Camp Dix, has written many interesting letters to his parents telling of his experiences. The second time he was wounded, one of his letters state, he was granted a leave of absence which he refused. telling his com manding officer that he wanted in stead to get back on the firing line for another chance at the Hun. An other letter tells of the time he was cited for bravery and made corporal. He volunteered to take an important message through an exposed section and was severely wounded, delivering it. He dropped fainting from loss of blood.
 His parents are anXiously waiting | word from him, as his latest letter stated that the doctors had just re moved ten pieces of shrapnel from his l body, and that there were more left

TOO EMPHATIC IN
 CONDEMNATION OF FUEL COMMISSION

Because the man who delivered his coal refused to carry it up two flights of stairs without extra pay a man named Verhele, giving his address as 63 Burroughs street called at the of- flee of the Fue, commission in the County Court building this morning and started a general bawling out Of the clerks in the office. He was lis tened to until he began to abuse American citizens, when Supt. Ed- ward Chadwick was called and he was escorted from the building. Mrs. Di;- lon, clerk in charge objected to his manner, which was not in strict ac- cord with the most polite conduct.
 One of the chief complaints made by Verhele was that he had lost three days of his wifG's wages while she stayed at home from work waiting for the coal dealer to deliver the ord CT. When in addition the driver de- manded pay for Juggling it up two flights of stairs his indignation nov ed him to go the office of the comis- sion with an emphatic protest.
 Complaints of all kinds come to the office of the commission, some of them well founded, but most of them of a captious nature. Verhele, who says he has been in America three years, i expressed some uncomplimentary i opinions of American citizens.
