More Than Sympathy Needed.
Chicago Journa})


 Secretary Lansing said yesterday that the United States government views with earnest sympathy the nationalistic aspirations of the Czechs and Slovaks and of the Jugo Slavs.
 Earnest sym pathy is good, but 1t is not enough. IL is time the Am erican government and the American people understood and acted upon the abs0- 1ute community of interests between these little nations and ourselves The Cho-Slovaks and the JugO Slavs are the outposts of our own liberties. If they are free, our own freedom Is secure. Ii they are left slaves of the HapsburgS. who in turn have come to be but puppets of the Hohenzollerns, then that family of congenital crim- inals will be able, after a season of recuperation, to begin again its scheming for world mastery, and the whole weary struggle will have to be fought anew.
 There are nearly 10000 slavs and Latins in Austria Hungary All of them hate both ftohenzollern and Hapshurg. All of them long to be free from the savage dominion of Teuton and Magyar. All of them pray for the victory of the allies. But all of them are compelled to give their wealth. their labors, and in many cases their blood to serve the monarchs whom they hate, uphold the regime which they ahhor, and de feat the friends whom they love.
 Such 9 system must he destroyed. The world can not exist half Pal German and half freo. II must he one thing or the other; and in a free world, there is no room for an Aus tria-HungarN We should give the Czechs and Slovaks and the Jugo slavs, not merely our "earnest sym pathy.'' but our frank recognition as free and independent peoples; and then we should work with money and propa ganda, as well as arms and mu- nitions to make that freedom real and permanent,

 Library War Service. American Library Association, To the Librarian:
 We are glad to learn from many sources that the successful intensiye campaign for camp library books is regarded as a continuous campaign, to last for the duration of the war. Three and a half million gift books will supply many men with reading matter, but the supply will not equal the demand. unless the books con- tinue to come. Draft orders are be- ing extended, thousands more men are going to training camps, hun- dreds of thousands are going over- Seas. More books will be needed con- stantly.
 Tn making appeals for books the following unsatistied demands should he kept in mind: For new fiction; for books in modern foreign languages especially French; for text books in good ondition-rhetoric, grammar, mathematics, science, European and American history.
 One librarian suggests that every person ask every one else, Have you given any books for the camp H- braries ?'
