WAR HITS LIBRARY
OF congress HARD
Left With Depleted Force to
Meet Increased Demands,
Mr.. Putnam Reports.

OF the list of library workers from
the entire country with the colors on
June 80, 1918, more than one-fifth
went from the Library of Congress
according to the report of the-librariar
of Congress. Herbert L. Putnam. for
the year ending on that date.
The librarian calls attention to this
depletion in connection with the
greatly increased demands upon the
Library. This greater demand fol
service was entailed partly by the
large amount of research work car
ried on in connection with the war
and also by the increased population
of Washington, resulting In many
more visitors to the Library's reading
rooms.
In addition to the men who went
into military service there were many
who entered other civilian positions
the librarian states. The reading room
! staff alone lost forty-four young men
of whom twenty three entered the
Army or Navy. Fourteen went to
other government services at higher
salaries.
| The number of weekday readers, II
is stated. has been 10 per cent greater
! in the five and a half hours after 4:3t
pm. lHdH III the Sefc1t dHH d fttil
hours before 4:30 o'clock. The num-
her of Sunday readers increased 81
per cent.
The Library now contains 2,614,52:
volumes, an increase over last year OF
1861 volumes. The most timely pub.
lication of the library during the year
it is considered, was THE Check List
of Literatur and Other Material or
the European War;"
The number of visitors to the blind
room increased about 1000.

100000 TO LEAVE NAVY
Discharge of 20 Per Cent of War
Time Personnel Au-
thorized.

Discharge of 90 per cent of the
Nays wartime personnel, about
100000 men, has been authorized. Sec
rotary Daniels said today that men
would be released as rapidly as posi-
BILE, with due regard to the conyen-
fence of the service.
Private yachts, motor boats and
other craft taken over by the Navy
for the war already are being turned
back to their owners. MIR. Daniels
said by February 700 craft will have
been stricken from the Navy list.
The release of enlisted men is au.
thorized not SO much because the
Navy is overmanned, but to permit
the return to civil pursuits of youths
who joined for the war and who do
not intend to follow the sea.
Members of naval units in schools
and college will complete their train
ing at the end of the Christmas holt
days. In the cases of special stu
dents bodies, such as the paymasters'
school at Princeton and at the en-.
signs. school at Annapolis, students
classes now in training will complete
their scheduled course and be COM
missioned in the reserve.
