Doughboys on the Rhine Show
Preference for Stories Of
Adventure in the West.
JULIUS CAESAR A FAvORHE
Activity Of Caesar In Rhine Valley
Makes TranslatIens of His Gallo
Wars Of Interest TO Soldier
Legends Also Popular.

COblenz.-Tales OF adventure In the
American West are the favorite read
ing matter of the American forces in
Germany. and Zane Grey is the most
popular author.
} Strangely enough. julius Caesar
runs a close second with tine dough-
boys, who are very keen about trans
lations of Caesars activities In the
Rhine valley and the ruins Of bridge
he built across the Rhine, which lifts
Caesars work out of the schoolbook
class and makes 1t guidebook that
carries the Americans back nearly
1900 years.
Books which describe the legends
centering about the Rhine are also
popular. especially with the soldiers
who are unsteady inclined and who
attend the Wagnerian performances
given by the various German grand
opera companies which play In Co
logne, Coblenz. Wiesbaden and the
other cities near the Rhine frequented
by soldiers on leave.
Like Story Magazines
All-story magazines which special
lie in adventures are more popular
with the American soldiers than any
other periodicals., and the American
Library association has been unable
to supply the demand for publications
Of this sort.
With the assistance OF the Young
Mems Christian association, which
aids in the distribution of reading ma
teriai In the American area, Miss Ala
Weyth, who is in charge of the Amer
lean Library associations reading
rooms, has been able to make a gen.
eral poll of the reading taste of the
army and finds that foreign residence
has not won the young Americans
away from fiction laid in America. par
ticularly in the West.
The American Library association
has about 10000 books available for
Americans, French. Belgians and Eng
fish residents of the occupied area, and
also has circulated many books by
mail to Americans living in other parts
of Germany. Three hundred copies

Turned Over to Y. NJ. C. A.
With the beginning of 1921. the
American Library association turned
Its books over to the Y. NJ. G. A. and
Is no longer supporting the work.
The main library In Coblenz was
formerly a German officers club and
is ideally suited to library purposes.
1t has great ballroom. which makes
an excellent reading room, and also
has sun parlors and large drawing
rooms. with many windows. Many
Germans have asked for the privilege
of using the library, but this has been
denied. as the army. did not think 1t
advisable. One German told the H.
brarian he had lived many years In
America and should really be allowed
to have books, because he was an

Toxic Candles
AS War Weapon

projected in any way. The need Is
very apparent to make the movements
of small groups of men close Mt hand
possible.
Tried by British.
THE British. early In the war, de-
veloped very satisfactory smoke can
dies which were used by all the al
lies. The Americans also developed a
candle which was satisfactory, but
which did not get Into production and
use In France before the armistice.
The smoke is normally white, must
have maximum capacity and be cool
enough to prevent the setting up of
air currents and thus rise from the
ground 1t must be heavy so as to be
displaced by the minimum amount of
wind at low velocity. These require
ments are admirably met by candles
which produce smoke consisting OF
zinc chloride.
'As regards the future of incendlary
material. my own opinion, which opin-
Ion, however, is substantiated by at
least some of the military critics, is
that incendiary material. except for
small arms and long range shell and
drop bombs, will have at least lin
lied and, perhaps, no use. The flame
projectors will probably never be used
In future war. Smoke material, on
the other hand. will have a very extern
sive and ever-increasing use. BY the
use of the smoke screen during an at
tack the casualties can be largely re-
duced.
New Use Of Smoke.
There was In progress of develop
ment by the British and Americans
during the latter part OF the war smoke
candles which would give toxic
smoke. The toxic material en-
ployed was diphenylchlorarsine. d.
phenylchlorarsIne Is a solid which va
porizes in the heat of the candle and
is obtained In such a state of division
that 1t will penetrate most gas masks.
Such toxic smokes, OF which there will
probably be others developed, will find
very extensive use In the future 1t
is the greatest step made thus far in
the new use Of smoke"
