BOYS LIKE GOOD MAGAZINES
New Light on What the Soldier Likes
to Read.

What do the soldiers read?
New light has been thrown upon
this question by resolution adopted
at a recen' conference of camp libra
rians at Waco, Texas. These men are
representatives of the American LII
brary association, and are presumably
experienced, both in general pubic
library work and also in the new
camp libraries over which they now
have charge.
By resolution these men called upon
the people of the United States to
give, thru the 1-cent stamp arrange
ment, more of the good magazines.
They specifically named Punch,
Judge, Life Popular Science Monthly,
Popular Mechanics, Scientific Ameri-
can Atlantic Monthly, Harper's Maya
zine, Scribner's and Century.
All that is necessary is to put :
cent stamp on the magazine and hand
it to a United States postofflce en-
Move.

BlRKES AS AN INVENTOR
Business Manager of 'Y" Receives
Patent on Window Ventllator.

e. NJ. Birkes, camp business man
ager of the Army Y. NJ. G. A at Fun
ston, formerly a real estate dealer in
st. Joseph. Mo-. has received word
from the United States patent office
that his design for a stormout window
ventilator has been accepted and a
patent issued.
The ventilator patented by Mr..
Birkes keeps out the rain and snow
and admits air. 1t is adjustable to any
windov and can be attached without
hook, screen o. eye and can be re-
moved at will. 1t is made of metal
and will last many years
Owing to he fact that Mr.. Birkes
has given up his business interests TO

the window veltilator on the market
until the war i over.

Marshal Joffre, with the reticence so
frequently characteristic of great mill
tary commanders, spoke very seldom
while on his tour of this country. 1t
was not alone because of his inability
to speak our language that he was so
seldom heard; but because he is a
man OF action.
When he spoke his words were
eagerly heard. 1t was felt that he
would not speak unless the occasion
demanded some word from him and
unless he had something to say He
coined one epigram that will be as
ISOLATED with him so long as his name
shall endure-and the hero of the
Marine is not likely to pass soon from
the memory Of man. This was the
epigram: German soldiers are dis
ciplined by force; our soldiers by faith.
In that single sentence he spoke
volumes; his message compensated
for the many long and sometimes awk-
ward silences.
America is coming to know just
what the marshal meant by the dis
cipline of faith. The Prussian Kaiser
to whom might is right and whose Cos
pei is that of the sword, could not
comprehend this discipline America
as fighting force will be negligible,
the Kaiser told his counsellors and his
troops, for discipline in a democracy
is impossible and without discipline
there can be no military efficiency"
For many months it might have
seemed that the Kaiser was right The
instant click achieved by force was
not attained by the French or British
troops-not, by the admission of their
own officers, until months, even years
after the outbreak of hostilities. To
learn the lesson of discipline cost mil
lions in money and thousands of hui
