More Books Needed

Books, papers, magazines and games are needed at the war camp community service headquarters and an appeal has been made to the people of Birming- ham who have finished with them to notify K. F. Smith, at headquarters, and he will call for them. Large num- bers of men are visiting our reading rooms daily said MT. Smith, war camp community service organizer, and we are in urgent need for these current periodicals for the men. Almost every one has magazines and books they have finished and do not care for any longer. and we would appreciate 1t very much if they would give them to us. If they will just notify us, we will send for them.'

Chicago's Fatal Delay
 In Calling For Troops

'N HICAGO'S race riots were W promptly ended when federal aid was invoked. With 5000 soldiers patrolling the "Black Belt" in the Southside district, a semblance of or der was soon restored, although prac- tically the entire police force of 5000 men had fought for several days with out being able to control disorderly crowds and individuals who turned large part of the city into battle field for guerilla warfare.
 The lesson is obvious. Either through a mistaken belief in their power, or the usual disinclination to ask for troops, the authorities permit ted outrages to go for days that should have been stopped in few hours. Newspaper accounts of scenes in South Chicago during the recent out break showed the folly of few thou sand policemen trying to cope with a negro population of more than 100, 900, large part of whom were armed and looking for trouble, while other thou sands of white people were fighting Ethe enraged negroes. Yet soldiers were on the scene and waiting to be ordered out.
 It is impossible to estimate how many persons were involved in the lrioting, since fighting in various To- calities on the Southside was almost continuous, and there were hundreds of minor clashes in which groups of whites attacked small bands of ne- groes, or vice versa. Sniping and in cisdiarism added to the destruction of life and property. The exact num- Iber of dead and injured may never be known, but death list of at least 30 and more than 800 injured prove the Chicago riots to have been among lthe worst ever seen in this country.
