 to Capture Singapore; ~ Errors Charged

World Battle Lines Today was the subject of an address by "Cy" Caldwell, military and aviation ex- pert, at a meeting of the Beth-El Mems Club, in the Beth-El audi torium last night.
 MT. Caldwell pointed out the er- TOTS in strategy made by Germany in Russia, England in Greece, and this country in teh Philippines, by not adequately fortifying the is- lands in the vicinity as auxiliary bases.
 The speaker said that he expect ed the loss of Singapore and the Dutch East Indies to the Japs, but that in the end the Allies would succeed in regaining these possess sions, and win the war. In reply to questions asked from the floor, MT.

Waterbury responded promptly to- day to the request for books for men in the nations armed services, as the Victory Book campaign was of- ficially launched throughout the country.
 At an early hour this morning, Silas Bronson Library, local head quarters for the drive, had received contributions of more than fifty books, ranging from collections Of poetry to a tract on "The Way Of Peace" from an unabridged An thony Adverse" to work on keep ing Fit" and from volume entitled Lyrics of Love" to Larned's His tory of the World in five volumes. Telephone calls had also been re- ceived from persons in the city who had books ready for collection by drive members as soon as flying squads have been organized for this purpose.
 Radio talks on behalf of the book drive have been scheduled for every day this week over both the local stations, several prominent citizens contributing their services to this end.
 Remember 1918.
 Members of the committee con- ducting the campaign in Waterbury and Wolcott today voiced their col Iective determination to outstrip the drive scheduled in this city ill 1918 at which time some 60,0O0 volumes were collected, total which led the state. Since the city's population at that time was a mere 80,000, they feel that a considerably higher re- turn is to be expected in the cur rent effort, which will last for six weeks.
 While contributions of books o1 any kind will be welcome at the lib rary at any time during the course of the drive, the committee is plan ming to have a house toulouse col lection on Saturday, Jan. "A, simi- lar to that which took place in 1918
 The latter drive, according to the files of the Bronson Library, was 6 colorful spectacle, in which 60 au. tomobiles and four times as many oy Scouts lined up at the Green or the afternoon of March 22nd, ant Wer eofficially launched by a pisto shot fired by Mayor William H Sandland. With this suspicious star the squadrOns of volunteers wen on to collect more than 10000 vol umts in that single afternoon.
 According to announcement b, the committee, books of all kind are to be gathered in during th' six-wtek drive. Unbound magazine and newspapers will not be collect ed.
 Technical Books
 It Is pointed out that while tn young men in the army and nav, today are eager for fictional mate rial, they are also anxious to hay books on mathematics, on technlca subjects, on current affairs, and ol practically every other subject.
 Tl.e men in the service today rep resent a fairly accurate croSs-sec ton of the countrys youth, ant their interests are similarly diversi fled. Many of them whose educa tion has been interrupted by tn exigencies of the Selective servic program are anxious for text books in order to continue studying ol their own initiative.
 The small libraries maintained b. the government in the larger arm camps are by no means adequat to meet the needs of the groWin number of men in the services Books are needed for purposes c instruction, for escape from the de mands of military life, and for en tertainment.
