Technical
Books

These wartime dispatch Offices.
which followed in the wake of the sue
cessful operation of arDrary methods in
the army, were established on both the
Atlantic and the Pacific. The Offices
nave been maintained at Boston, New
York, Brooklyn, Hoboken, Philadel-
phia, Newport News, Charleston,
Seattle, San Francisco and San Diego.
Those near the navy yards were the
busiest, so that there was great ac
tivity at the brooklyn and Newport
News branches
The Brooklyn office has specialized
particularly in naval technical litera-
ture and during the present stay of the
ships in New York has been busy
place. Books of this class are do
manded especially by those who are
planning to take examinations for COM
missions or in connection with en-
glneering work or who have problems
to be worked out. The ease with which
they may be obtained has added ma
terlally to the pleasure and satisfac-
tlon of serving aboard the naval yes
sels, and the plea that has been made
Tor the continuance Of the system bv
these experts will perhaps have great
weight with those who provide for che
navy's activities in peace time.
The stocking Of the great Atlantic
fleet with literature which has been so
successfully carried out is the greatest
single naval enterprise ever under
taken by the American Library Asso-
citation. The cordial welcome that has
been extended to it by officers and men
is commensurate with the skill with
which, it was successfully conducted. So
much space had to be provided for the
$4,000 books when they arrived at
Guantanamo Bay that after thoro Ugh
search for quarters it was decided that
they should be kept on Barge &C, an old
towboat formerly used by the Coast
and Geodctic Survey. SO completely
was the barge identified with the IL
brary shipments that when Mr. Woos-
ter, the associations representative
told chaplain on one Of the battle
ships that he probably would see him
in New York, the chaplain asked
"Will you make the trip on your
barge ?"
The barge did not bring the books to
New York. for they came on the whole
fleet, so wisely and effectively were
they distributed under Mr.. Woosters
direction.

Present on the piers when the

the Atlantic fleet when its big
and little ships swept into New
York harbor on the present
visit are not to be classed as book
0xorms, but some facts were disclosed
IN the course of their last stay at
Guantanamo Ray before coming here
which gives them new standing in
The readers world. The rugged repre-
sentatives of the navy also made o
5jscovery-that the American power to
organize assured them almost unlim-
tied opportunities to enjoy good liter
ature of the best type and instructive
works of the most scientific sort.
Soon after the ships finished a short
trip away from the Cuban base there
descended upon them an avalanche Of
printed products. The men aboard the
seventy vessels numbered many more
than a score Of thousands, but the ship
ments of reading matter that reached
them were sufficiently large to assure
book for every two men from the start,
and through the system of exchange
that was employed there was no end
TO the variety.
Americas boys afioat proved to be all
that the nation expects of its young
manhood They worked with zest,
played with energy, and in their seri-
Gus moments dreamed in the field of
ambition. They eagerly seized upon
the books which meant first of all i'm
provement of the mind. They con-
tinued to read on the way to New
York, and after their arrival here still
found the time to keep up the ac-
quaintance.

"a hardly think him dangerous in
a any kind of fight. At Camp
Dix he seldom got up enough
wrath to incur the anger of member
of the squad he commanded-and anv
corporal will tell you that this is un-
usual.
True, he was red-headed and Irish,
but somehow the iron-hand methods
were not included in his ideas of dis
cipline. He never tired of explaining
drill movement, and always in a
way that seemed not quite forceful
enough; and yet, when the training
campaign was over the non-coms whose
methods differed from Jimmies had
to confess themselves beaten. Jimmie
had the best drilled squad in the
company.
Captain Keating's attention was
first attracted to Jimmie during the
312th's course of training with the
British army in Northern France.

How Boats
Took TO Fiction

There were also in the fleet seven.
teen battleships, nine repair and sup.
ply ships, and twelve submarine
chasers, the men of which were pro.
vided with reading matter. On the
battleships there were 1880 men, for
whom 1000 technical works and 6.OOC
volumes OF fiction were provided. On
the submarine chasers fiction of the
western and outdoor type proved to be
the favorite means of relaxation from
the serious duties to which that branch
of the service is assigned in war time
This fine book work for the feet
may mean something important for the
navy in the future. The American n
Library Association believes that If
should. Mr.. Wooster advises the in
corporation of the library association
system in the navy after the A. L. A,
War Service shall have become a thing
of the past. He suggests that the
navy could probably use several libra
rlans to advantage for book circulation
and exchange, and thus the young men
who are serving the country on the
water will have the same fine facili-
ties for improving the mind that have
been provided since the plans arranged
at first for the soldier camps were ex-
tended to furnish similar advantages at
sea-
In the case of the smaller types of
vessels it is urged that great service
could be rendered by system of dis
patch offices at all important points on
the same plan as that which has been
employed IN carrying out the purposes
of the library association.

JOHN FLICK LOSES NEPHEW

John Flick of Ohio City. this week
received the sad news that his nephew
George Flick, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas.
Flick of Washington, on the Peters
burg road, had died while in the SER
vice of his country. The young man
died at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, on
April 9th, after an illness of only
two days. His relatives were un-
aware of his serious illness SO that
his death came as quite shock. He
was but twenty-one years of age and
volunteered for service in the army
eleven months ago, following his grad
uation from the Washington high
school.
The funeral was held on Monday
and detachment of soldiers attend
ed the services. Interment was made
in the Bethel cemetery, his body hav-
ing been shipped from Fort Leaven-
worth to his home.
Surviving relatives are his parents,
three sisters, and a brother, John
Flick, who is now with the Army of
OCCUPATION in Germany, besides vari-
Gus other relatives.
