Soldiers In France
Require More Books

The Ashland public library has re-
ceived today a request from the
American Library associations head
quarters in Washington for more
books from this community for the
men overseas.
The appeal from Washington
states that new novels and good
western stories, whether new or old,
are most needed. Books by Zane
Grey, Rex Beach, Jack London,
Ralph Connor, Owen Wister and o..
Eenry are very popular. The pub
lie library announces that 1t will re-
ceive and forward all suitable books
that are turned in. 1t urges the
friends of the soldiers and sailors,
many of whom have already re-
sponded most generously, to give
more books.
The communication received by
the library from the Washington
headquarters states that over 60O.-
900 books have been sent overseas.
The supply is nearly exhausted, and
several hundred thousand more will
he needed soon by the six dispatch
offices which are now shipping books
to France. The books are packed
at these dispatch offices in strong
cases, so built that they serve as o
bookcase.
They go on the decks of trans
ports, in cargo vessels and in naval
vessels. Those that go on the decks
CT transports are open so that the
men may have reading matter for
use on the voyage. All these books
are gathered together again, how
ever, replaced in the cases and de-
livered to the proper officials in
France.
In France, the books are distribut-
cd by an experienced librarian, rep
resenting the American Library
association. Most Of them go to Y.
NJ. c. A., Red Cross and Salvation
army huts, hospitals and canteens.
Others go directly to chaplains and
officers.
