Reading About Crisis Abroad

have noticed gradual but growing
interest in the latest books on
Europe.
You'd be surprised" said w. c.
Ballantyne, general manager of Will
liam Ballantyne & Sons bookstore,
"at some of the customers who ask
for 'Mein Kampf' or some other
book dealing with the origins of the
present war. They look like young
jitterbugs. You'd expect them to
ask for detective stories or light
romances"
Higher Rates Asked.
Mr.. Ballantyne said he had
noticed recent books on Europe we're
selling at many times the rate they
were before Hitler invaded Poland,
though he had not computed the
extent of this increase.
There has been an avid demand
by adults, he said, for the globes
ordinarily placed in stock for chill
dren at the opening of school. AS
for maps, he added, "just try to keep
them in stock" He has, however,
two new maps showing the setup at
the beginning of the Polish invasion,
and these are going like bargain
basement merchandise.
Brentanos has not noted such a
heavy sale of books dealing with
Europe's plight, though there has
been an increase.
The manager, Joseph A. Mar
golies, thought it might be too soon.

Today in Washington she recalled
that the French people were as calm
about future events as If nothing
extraordinary was about to happen.
Nevertheless, the American actress

scene of hostilities. She was three
days out on the ocean when war
