BOOKS FOR OUR
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
A Second Call To Newark And
Vicinity

VI ore DOOkS-nuQQfeQ OF LNOu- .
sands Of them-are needed for the
War Service Libraries maintained
by the American Library Associa-
tion at cantonments, training
camps, posts, forts, naval stations,
on vessels, and overseas. Our men
must have these books. They want
them for their leisure hours-for
recreation and for study. EXper-
ience has proved that they are
eager to read, and books must be
provided.
What Remains to be Done
Half a million books are still re-
quired to meet the actual needs Of
men in the "a large camps. An
other half million are needed i'm
mediately for the military forts,
posts and small camps; for the
naval stations and vessels; for the
marine corps training stations and
barracks. And for the men on
transports and oversee there IS
need for an almost unlimited sup
ply. For every man in service
/ there ought to be book in service.
That means at least a million more
books at once. And books wear
out in use. They must be replaced
frequently.
What You Can DO
You can pass on to the men IN
khaki the books you have enjoyed
but will not read again. You can
give them some of the books you
like best-books you would like tt
keep. They will like them TOO
You can send novels, tales OF ad
venture, detective stories ant
standard fiction; up-to-date books
on civil, mechanical and electrlca
: engineering, the trades, business
the professions and agriculture
recent textbooks on military sub
iects, mathematics, the SCIENCES
and foreign languages; books 0
travel. history, biography, poetr'
: and the present war; dictionarle
and new encyclopedias; interest
a ing books in foreign LANGUAGES. ..
e One of the great needs in tn
War Service Libraries is for En2
Iish classics in recent and AURA
tive editions and for recent Dooh
9 belonging bel to or dealing with Ems
1ish literature. Books that al
e ,,,odern in tone, as we'll as in al
r NJ, naarance. are always desirable.
/ ' Four hundred and twenty-tov t
c hooks have already been sent lro.

A. Mitchell Palmer Refers to Pur-
chase of the Washington
Times.
GIVES FIFTEEN NAMES
Alien Property Custodian Asserts
$4,000 Was Loaned to Arthur
Brisbane-Policy of Paper
Was to Be Pro-German.

Washington, Sept. 21.-A. Mitchell
Palmer, Federal alien property custo-
dian, made public the names of Is
brewers who, with the United States
Brewers association, raised a fund
of $407, 900 from which 1875, 900 was
loaned to Arthur Brisbane to buy the
Washington Times.
Mr.. Palmer acted Immediately after
the Senate had passed a resolution in
troduced by Senator Jones of Washing
ton, calling upon the property custo-
dian to show the proofs on which he
made his speech in Harrisburg, Pa,
last Saturday, describing the efforts
of brewers to control a newspaper in
pro-German interests, to exert their in
iuence upon Congress and the add
tional charge that the brewing inter-
ests had advanced the money for the
purchase of a newspaper to fight the
battle of the liquor traffic under the
shadow of the dome of the Capitol"
Other documents sent to the Senate
judiciary committee by Mr.. Palmer in
cluded correspondence between Ger
nan propagandists i'm this country and
certain brewery interests relative to
the purchase of a newspaper to be n
tagonistic neither to beer nor to Ger
many.
Loan Admitted by Brisbane.
MIR. Brisbane in published state
ments in the Times already has stated
that he bought the paper with money
loaned by G. w. ~Feigenspan, a brew
er, and president of the Federal Trust
company of Newark, N. j. Mr.. Bris-
bane also has published a letter from
~Feigenspan defining an arrangement
by which the loan was syndicated to
Is brewers. Mr.. Palmer includes in
his disclosure this letter and also
documents to support his assertion
that the loan was made i'm a way to
conceal it's course and purpose.
Included In Mr.. Palmer's papers are
copies of letters written by Alexan-
der Konta, evidently a German agent,
to Captain Hans T%auscher, VIGOROUSLY
associated with German propaganda In
the United States, and to DR.. Bernard
Dernberg, G~ermany's chief propagan-
da agent, upon the prospects of buy
ing some great American newspaper.
Mr.. Palmer connects these with his
declaration that the influence which
the brewers attempt to exert was thor
oughly in the interest OF Germany.

MAY REJ0IN ALLIES, REPORT
Rumania Likely to Re-enter War
Against Teutons.

Amsterdam, Sept. 81. - The North
German Gazette, semi-official organ,
reports there is serious agitation in
Jessy and the unoccupied parts of Ru-
mania in which the queen is the prime
mover, to m the association of Ru-
mania with the Allies. King Ferdi-
nand, it is asserted, is holding aloof,
but under certain circumstances might
yield to the pressure. The North Ger
man Gazette and likewise the Rhen-
ische Westphalian Gazette, which also
prints the report, both warn the Ru-
manian government that it is assum-
ing a great responsibility in counte-
nancing the agitation.

Stockholm, Sept. 81. - President
Wilson previously stated his view,
and, therefore, there is no reason for
a further statement by him, but the
Allies ought to answer the Austrian
note in such a way that their war
aims will appear as plain as Mr.. VIII
sons" said Hjalmar Branting In an
interview. They ought to Q this

cratic movements In the Central pow.

Amsterdam, Sept. 21.-Social Demo.
Gratis organized and held peace meet
ings at Essen and Cologne and in
many towns in SaXony, according to
a dispatch from Cologne to Dutch
newspapers. Thousands of persons
are said to have attended the gather
ings.
The German press generally, from
Socialistic to conservative, regards the
American answer to the Austrian
peace note, taken in connection with
the speech of Foreign Secretary Bal
four, as final proof that the Allies seek
to complete the destruction of the
Teutonic powers and their peoples and
the Acknowledgement of their territory.
Hope of Peace Gone.
The Socialist Vorwaerts of Berlin
is bitter and pessimistic. 1t declares
that the American answer and the ut
terances of Secretary Balfour compel
the conclusion that the Allies will not
hear of a peace by agreement.
Mr.. Balfour's speech" says the
Vorwaerts, contains two points which
a great part of the German people
are ready to discuss and others that
will evoke powerful opposition from
every German.
THE first two points are Belgium
and the Brest-Litovsk. The other two
concern the German colonies and AL
sace-Lorraine. If Mr.. Balfour wishes
that these last two points should be
fulfilled, which would be possible only
through a complete military victory
by the entente, there would be a feel
ing left among the entire German peo-
pie that they had been made the vic.
tins of a robbers warfare.
Victory or Destruction"
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung. refer
ing to the demands regarding the
colonies and Alsace-Lorraine, declares:
What does this mean If not that
the Entente intends to dismember and
crush the German empire There is
but one thing left for us-victory or
destruction"
The Hamburg Fremdenblatt is in
censed because, as it said, the United
States refused even to consider the
matter and took no time for reieo
ton.
Like madmen," it says, they
howl their force to the uttermost when
other people exert themselves TO find
a way out of the slaughter OF the
world war;"

with evidence of a decrease in their

SHOWS FOE CLAIMS FALSE
General Pershing Captures German
Military Orders.

Washington, Sept. 81. - Captured
German orders prove c~onclusively that
the German official boast that Amer
lean troops took the st. Mihiel salient
because the German army had been
considering the evacuation for years
Ia e typical deception.
The official orders of the Tenth Ger
man division, dated Sept. s, far from
giving orders for a retreat which had
been planned "for years." gives the
most detailed instructions for defense
of the salient. General Pershing
transmitted a copy of the order by
cable to the War department.
The German commanders thought
they had provided for every contin-
gency.
