MEN IN HOSPITALS
WANT HOME PAPERS

LONDON. Aug. 15.-"More home
newspapers" is the appeal continually
made to the library committee, of the
American Red Cross by AmsricAn sol
diers In hospitals in Great Britain.
The library committee is at present
furnishing reading matter for more
than 25.000 men a month, both in hos
pitfalls and In camps. The COMMITTEES
has its headquarters in 4 building at
II Pail Mall East. London, where II
keeps on hand at all times about
$4,000 books and n large supply Of
magazines and newspapers.
/ The books are either gifts or are
purchased in London. In its pur-
chases, the committee restricts itself
almost entirely to cheap popular edi-
tions, costing from Is to 80 cents a
volume.
I'VE have made no attempt to i'm
port books from America, because we
realize that at the present time tom
mage Is needed in more essential d.
rections. As to the class OF reading
matter selected, we leave IL mainly
to the demands OF the men, and they
ask principally for fiction. and light
fiction at that
"The magazines and newspaper
must of necessity come from America
1t Is our experience that this class OF
literature gives greater satisfaction
to the men than boks. Their cry ID
