POINTS TO
NEEDS OF
LIBRARIES

Mrs j. A. Thompson returned Sat
urday night from Oklahoma City
where she attended the session of
the Oklahoma Library association.
In an address to the association mem
bers, Mrs. Thompson pointed out the
needs in Libraries throughout the
state. In this regard she said in
part:
THE most immediate demand is
for vocational and technical books
and magazines, and an advertising
campaign that will bring men and
books together. This schedule will
call for larger and more attractive
reading rooms, with suitable phys
ical equipment, of chairs, tables,
heat, light, janitor service sufficient
to keep rooms neat and sweet; com
mensurate collections of books, cat
alogues, indexes, photographed
tools; and a capable and sympathet-
ic custodian. The needs and re-
qurements of each group of return
ed soldiers will largely determine
the methods used by local Libraries
in reaching their potential constitu-
ents. Well organized progressive IL
braries will proceed with publicity
plans already in operation. The aim
of the American public library has
been the enlistment of every citizen
as a patron of some department of
the library; this class Of institution
will not need to change its standards
to minister to ex-soldiers but will de-
velOp established ideals and continue
the business methods that succeed in
reaching other classes of citizens"

GOVERNMENT E PLANNING MOVE
 10 QUIET REDS

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21. As the direct result of the recent bomb outrages and the fear of the department of justice that addi- tional similar outrages are in con- temptation, officials of the govern ment are now considering a plan which involves the wholesale de- portation of undesirable residents of the United States. The move is aimed at Bolsheviki, anarchists and radicals and is regarded as the only logical solution of the grave prob lem now confronting the govern ment.
 Should such a step be decided upon, 1t will be up to thousands O. questionable characters in this coun- try to convince officials of the de- partment of justice that their pres ence here is not menace to society and law and order. Those who are unable to make the right kind of showing will be given the oppor- tunity to return to their native lands.
 Transports which are now en- gagged in bringing American soldiers home, could be used to advantage, department officials believe, in car rying undesirabes from the United States to Europe.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21. Tt is apparant from dispatches reaching this city today from the other side of the Atlantic that the Germans do not intend that the Allies shall know their attitude to- ward peace until every possible step has been taken to secure a modifi- cation of the revised terms. The collapse of the Scheidemann govern ment has necessitated the selection of new German peace delegation and this work is reported to be now in progress. The new delegation probably will be headed by Matthias Erzeberger.
 In the meantime, reports from Germany indicate that objection has been raised to numerous of the pro- visions contained in the new treaty and it Is expected that the new delegation will try to persuade the Paris conference to consider fresh counter proposals, as coming from new German government. One of the requests that will be made possibly is that the German gov ernment be admitted immediately
