There is still urgent need for books
Of fiction. preferably recent fiction,
and other lighter forms Of reading
matter for the soldiers and sailors Of
the United States, according to Off
cials of the American Library Asso-
citation.
Just as the American people were
exhorted to give money without stint
in the recent war work campaign for
the seven agencies. of which the as
sociation is one, SO are they urged not
not to relax in their contributions of
books and magazines.
OF course, the library organization
will get it's share of the money raised
in that drive. but it is apparent that
most of it must be Immediately spent
for technical and trade books to be
used in rehabilitation and vocational
education work.
On the other hand, convalescents
and hospital patients do not want to
study so much as to fill in the spare
time which sometimes hangs heavy on
their hands.
Please send your books to the Pub
lie Library, Sth and K streets north

will send messenger for them. All

Shared Desperate Fighting.

Both these organizations saw heavy
action with the British and were
highly mmended by British officers
for their desperate fighting when
Marshal Haig's armies were smash
ing the Hipdenburg line in northern
France early in the fall and in late
engagements. Their losses undoubt-
edly have been heavy, but it is not
regarded as probable that half their

N0DATE ESETFOR
TROOPS return
Radical Changes Noted in
Formation Of American Divi-
sions in France.

So far as known here no date has
been fixed for the return to the
United States Of any Of the American
divisions in France. Secretary Baker
says that none of the divisional or
ganizations will arrive homo before
Christmas, as the transport facilities
will be used in moving casuals and
sick and wounded.
When the divisions do return from
France they will bear little resem-
blance in enlisted personnel to the
same divisions when they started
overseas Application Of the one
army theory to all the forces and the
systems Of replacement employed to
fill gaps in front-line organizations
will be found to have obliterated to
a very large degree the lines which
before their departure divided the di-
visions into National Guard, National
Army or regular organizations.
10th Division Depleted.
That fact was illustrated today by
news from France that the 10th Di-
vision had reached its embarkat1on
port on the other side, with a.
strength of 81 officers and 1000 men.
1t went over filled substantially to full
strength of $1,000 men.
The 10th is the National Army divi-
sion trained at Camp Devens, Mass.
1t was composed Of selective service
men from part Of New York state,
Ne W Hampshire, Maine, Vermont,
MASSACHUSETTS,. Connecticut and Rhode
Island. From the time of its arrival
in France, however. it. has been a
depot division, from which replace.
front were drawn and which was in
turn filled up by drafts Of casuals
from this side, sent over on a regu-
lar monthly schedule.
Reports from France show that not
only have $4,000 of the $1,000 men of
the original 76th been scattered in the
fighting army in this way, but that
probably a large number of additional
men passed through its ranks in the
same way. The division itself was
never in action or near the front, but
it is evident that the bulk of its
original personnel did see action in
other divisions.

Applies to Other Divisions.

These conditions apply also 10 the
9th and 3oth divisions, which have
been fighting with the British army
and have been withdrawn with only
approximately 1880 officers and men
in each. The 9th Division is the New
York National Guard division COM
manded by Maj. Gen. John F. O'Ryan.
the only National Guard officer to
have served through the war with
that high rank. The 30th Division
was composed of the Tennessee,
North Carolina and South Carolina
National Guard and was known as
the ssWildcat, division.

was first Of the troops other than
those Of the Regular Army to reach
France. That division saw heavy
fighting in many sectors and won
an enviable reputation. It's casualties
are certain to have been heavy ana
it is quite likely that It was kept at
fighting strength by replacement
drafts from the 10th Division, which
was composed largely Of men from
the same part Of the country. II that
is true. the 26th, when it does come
home, will appear more like the old
76th than anything else, for the bulk
Of its personnel will have been drawn
from that SOURCE

AIR PROGRAM IS TWO
 MONTHS BEHIND TIME

WASHINGTON: Constant altering of plans to meet rapid changes in air fighting tactics in Europe, combined with delays in getting material and scarcity of skilled labor, has put Am erica's great aircraft program two months behind schedule, so it is now moving forward smoothly. In disclos- ing this in the senate military com mittee, Colonel Dodge, assistant to Major General Squircs, chief signal officer of the army, said that not single machine of the exact type plan ned when congress appropriated $64O,OOO,O O,O00 for an air fleet will see service in France.
 Colonel Dodge said that the ten dency was toward machines of great CT power and that valuable lessons in this respect had been learned at the last battle about Verdun. He believ- ed that the machines now being man ufactured and sent to France, not on- ly would meet present requirements, but would excel anything the enemy might produce.
