(Signed) CARL H. MILAN"
Library War Service Library of
Congress-"
This means that the people OF Rich
mond must contribute 1000 books for
the boys that are overseas" says the
local librarian. During the war the
Library association did good work for
the boys in Europe. Since the sign
ing Of the armistice there has been a
lull
Soldiers Have Much Leisure.
Now the boys have great deal of
time in which they have nothing to
do. They are in a strange country
and are not sufficiently acquainted
with the language of the country to en-
Joy the literature. Many Of the boys
writing home say they have nothing
to read. not even magazines. The need
OF fresh fiction, that is enjoyable is
absolutely necessary to keep the boys
in good spirits, and keep up the morale
OF the American army.
'At this time of year many people
are discarding old books which they
no longer want. They are asked to
give them to the War Service Libra
ary."
Persons wishing to make book con-
tributions are asked to take them to
the Morrisson-Reeves library, il pos
sible. II this cannot be done, word
should be sent to the library and Mrs.
Bernhardt will make arrangements to
send after the books.

Germans Hint at Big
Surprise in AeronautlCs

Berlin, Sept. GA note of lronic
bitterness marks German press com
ment on the achievements of the
British dirigible R-34 in making the
transatlantic round trip. Every
German newspaper emphasizes
proudly that the R-34 was built on
the basis of secrets of German air
ship construction "culled' by the
British from Zeppelins brought
down during the war. Some call
the big dirigible a true copy" of
1.-THE German aerial cruisers of the
FL" type.
While generally giving the British
due credit for the feat, all the Ger
man commentators attach to their
left-handed compliments few sar
castic remarks, and all point out
THAT the record for long-distance
Nights still belongs to the Germans,
THE "L-5o" having made the round
"trip from Bulgaria to Africa in 1917.
III covered 4,220 miles in 95 hours,
st an average speed of 43 miles an
hour.
Much emphasis also is placed on
the distress in which the R-34' found
herself on he'd voyage to America,
German experts pointing with glee
no her many S. o. S. calls for help
from the American Navy depart
ment.
The L-59 after its record trip had
fuel left for two and half days,
IL is pointed out, while the R-34's
supply was exhausted when it
Feached its destination in America
Some of the German commenta-
Tors make mysterious hints at Ger
pnan aerial surprises Immediately
hfter the formal conclusion of peace.
Df this the Frankfurter Zeitung
lays
THE English are mistaken if they
believe they have built the largest
herial liner. They are due to expe-
renee some surprises as soon as we
ran live and fly again.
II was the fear of German COM
petition that inspired the British to
accomplish recordmaking feat as
ong as we were still cut off from
he world, unable to show what we
ourselves can do.
1T is interesting to watch the
British go through the infantile
icknesses of aeronautics that we
passed through years ago.
we cannot but smile at the
ltatement of the American comman-
Ter, Read, the first to cross the
ocean, that he saw the time when
yers would attain a height of
0,0O0 feet and make the round trip
cross the ocean in one day. There
limit to the physical resources
man that cannot be overcome

ROUND. OF
 CONNECTICUT SJ.ACkERS

Department of justice agents all over the state are joIning in the na- tioE-wide roundup of these who are cl&ssed as deserters and dalinquents under the provision of the selective service act. It is estimated there are at least 100000 delinqrcnts and de sCrters at large in the United States end Special Agent George ". Lillard, in charge of the department of justice work in Connecticut has teen inves- tigating a list of about 2,00G persons designated as deserterS by Connectl- cut draft boards.
 Clerks of fhe state draft boards have been holding conferences it the capi- to. for the last few months compar- ing lists and trying to locate the men who did not answer the draft call. In many instances it was found that men Classed as LeseTters were already in service = even in France--having en- listed before being drafted. The draft board clerks finished their confer ences last week and the draft records arc now being boxed up 10 be sent to Washington.
 The list, furnished to tha United States district attorney was not as valuable as it might have been and Agent Lillard believes the number of
 
 duced when the investiga tior is com pleted. Some of the reports have been very carefully made. and are a great aid to the departmens. Other boards reported every absen- ! tee as a ''wilful deserter," and other clerks noted on their lists mo recom- mendations." This left to the depart ment of justice the task of finding cut how many were really wilful de- l serters, and Investigating the no re- | Ccmmendation" eases to learn if there was wilful evasion of military ser vice.
 | The fact that the war is ended, it is 1 said, will afford no immunity for the | draft stacker and every or who Is rounded up will be prosecuted as viz erously as if the soldiers were still fighting. Being a nation -2vl6e round up it will avail the stacker nothing to be thousand miles away from his l.tistrict. Wherever located the draft violators are to be taken into custody and returned by the federal authori- ties to the proper district for inyes- tiSstion and prosecution.
 For several weeks the officers of the provost marshal generate office 1T | Washington have been at wcrk listins tbe men who are reported by theil draft boards as delinquents or desert CTS. Men classed as deliuquents art those who failed to obey the draft law provisions and regulations, such as
 filling out a questionnaire, or failure
 to report for examination, but who a the same time were not actually or
 d2red to join the color5 by their draf
 board. The deserter is the man wht failed to respond when called to tn,
 cciors by his draft board or who hay
 ing reported subsequently, deserted be
 fore his contingent was euilained fo

 ffom their regiments are of cours
