Showing Kaisers viciousness.

The Germans, in setting fire to the
Louyain library, totally destroyed not
only the printed books numbering
from 100000 to 100000 volumes and
nearly 1000 manuscripts which the
library contained. but also the famous
university halls, thus destroying IN
three days that which had taken nve
centuries to build up. Only once BE-
fore in history has such disaster
been inflicted upon the world, when
in A. D. 643, the Caliph Omar, with
blasphemy only equaled by that OF the
kaiser, destroyed the library OF Alex.

SECRET MEETING HELD
BY REVISION employees

Secrecy yelled a supposedly impor-
tant meeting OK reclassification work
ers this morning in the offices of
Congressman Lehlbach, chairman Of
the House Committee on Reform in
the Civil Service.
Although the leaders In the reclas
sification movement were included in
the meeting they refused to divulge
the names of those in attendance or
to intimate what the purpose of the
meeting might be. 1t is understood
that this secrecy was maintained be-
cause of an alleged dissension of
opinion which has sprung up over the
draft of the proposed new reclassifi-
cation bill.
Several meetings have been held
past few weeks and each had the CEN
sorship lid clamped down on 1t. Mr..
Lehlbach as chairman of the House
Committee on Reforms in the Civil
Service, has requested every bit of
Information available on the reclassi-
fication subject in order that he could
gather the best facts into one con-
crete report to be presented to Con-
gress when ii convenes.
In an effort to furnish Mr.. Lehlbach
with such information it was declared
today that opposing groups with di-
verging views on reclassification have
sprung up, and ii is understood that
each faction, striving to have its re-
port accepted, is the cause for the
secrecy in the session held today.
