THAT HOME PAPER.

London, July 10.—“ More home newspapers, is the constant appeal from the American soldiers in the camps and hospitals in Great Britian,” says an American Red Cross report made public today. The American Red Cross library committee in London is now providing reading matter for 25,000 men weekly, the report states, but the supply consists largely of books. The supply of home newspapers is not equal to one-tenth of the demand for them. “Regarding books,” the report states, “the men ask principally for fiction, and light fiction at that, but the American magazines and newspapers give far greater satisfaction than do books. The cry of the men is continually for more home newspapers.”
