Two significant items come from the
publishers. Doubleday, Page & Company
are reprinting Astronomy for Ererybody,
because, among other orders, 500 copies
of the book are wanted for soldiers and
sailors The Frederick A. Stokes Com

American Library Association for 500
copies of William Atherton DuPuy's
Uncle Sans Modern Miracles, book tell
ing of big undertakings of the Federal
Government-census taking, Weather
Bureau work, irrigation enterprises, &C.
As every librarian knows, there never was
anything like the demand among our men
in service for books dealing in popular
style with scientific subjects, the workings
Of the Government, all kinds of industrial
processes-cverything from aviation TO
laying sewer pipes. An appetite for use
full books has been created that will have
to be stated after these men, or most OF
them, return to civil life. Authors, take

Press) Trotsky was expected to- pre-
sent n new note to the Allies yesterday
but up TO an early hour this morning
no information AZ TO its contents had

patches from Petrograd told Of his

4 Even in Germany the proposed peace
terms are not meeting with undivided
satisfaction. The Bangerman Presse

having betrayed the army Of his coun-
cry. He is expected TO reach Berlin
today from Russia and Is TO be Inn

Macmillan Hardin in commenting
editorially on the peace terms said
that granting freedom to Alsace and
Lorraine cannot be considered an OBJ.
stacle TO a peace agreement.
In Petrograd the terms are consider.

say that the Belgian minister is quoted
as asserting that he was told by of.
ficials of the Petrograd government
that the terms as offered could not be
accepted because the proffered terms
failed to indicate any means for the

PARIS, June 20.-(Nia Otcawa)- Eight hundred and thirty-five German airplanes have been destroyed since January 1. according to an official an- nouncement just made which tends to prove that the German communiques are not reliable when the dealing with losses of airplanes.
 The statement says that on June ?. the Germans lost AS, while on Iune 3 and 10, there were 49 of their ma chimes brought down. The British were responsible for the destruction of 3S of those lost on the latter date.
 The German official statement ac- knowledges the loss of 10 on June 2 and eight on June 9 and 10.
 The monthly losses during the pres- ent year follows:
 January. France 20 and Germany 7S February, France IS and Germany 70; M9 rch, France 50 and Germany 1S6: April, France 46 and Germany 136; May France so and Germany 356.

 ENEMY AT CANT|CNY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, June 20.-(By The Associat- cd Press).-At dawn this morning American troops stormed German trenches and machine gun nets in front of Cantigny, in the Montdidier sector. Those of the German garrison who re- mained to fight and carry out their or ders to hold the positions at any cost, were killed by rifle and machine gun fire and bayonet.
 The Americans also took prisoners.
 The American artillery put down a heavy box barrage on the rear of the enemy positions. A few minutes later the infantry swarmed over the top and rushed the trenches. Some of the Germans had tried to escape through the barrage, crashing to their rear, but few of them got through, for numerous German dead were found later
 Prisoners captured declared that they had orders to hold on at all costs, and this was apparent by the desperate manner in which they fought. The battle was short but deadly. for the en- emy positions were swept clean of Ger mans. The official report says that a great many Germans were killed.
 One machine gun nest containing eight men. which had been sprinkiing Cantigny for some days, was blown up by direct hit from a trench mortar bomb
