BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS. Do soldiers really need books? Tea. I don't know how we should live without jour circulating libraries." writes one wounded soldier to the "British Library association. Hugh Britling's letter to his father also answers this question in the affirmative, as do hundreds of other instances of this kind that might be given. Will the soldiers have time for reading in the training camps? Yes, Indeed. The soldiers in these camps are only required to work six hours a day. This leaves ten idie hours with leave granted to only small nu-nrbers at a time. It will be our fault if the right provision is not made for these idle hours. True, the men at the Officers' Training' tamps work and study all day Ions. We hove all heard how the officers at Fort Benjamin Harrison work sixteen hours a day yet it Is a fact that the three thousand volumes now in their library are circulated once .every ten days. This is a far better circulation than most libraries can boast. The Red Cross society serves chiefly the sick and wounded, which is less than ten per cent of the enlisted nien of any country in the present war. The Y. M- C. A. Knights of Colurribus. Y. M. H. A., and other organizations of this kind have failed to provide adequate reading for the men. so the I". S. War Department has left this Job to the libraries and library workers of the country. This is why the week of September 14-31 will be Camn Library week all over the Vnited States and eveiy one wil be asked to Rive a dollar or more t. help provide the necessary books for libraries at the training- camps, on board ship. In hospitals, and even for the mien in the trenches.

WAR CRANKS IN WASHINGTON (By Tnitea Press.) WASHINGTON-. Sept. 13.-Th real President of the United States arrived in Washington the other day. He admitted It. "I-come." he announced, as he stepped off the train from Keokuk, to take possession of the White House. Wilson was elected by fraud. I will drive out the usurper." "Welcome." said a cordial Secret Service man. ' Permit mi to escort you to the White House. Whereupon the self-styled President was whirled to police headquarters. Eventually he held forth in pomp at the Psychopathic Ward of the Washington Asylum Hospital. In the last few months this Institution has welcomed a few other Presidents. the Queen of Canada (who had come to ask Secretary McAdoo for $500,000 for coronation expenses). The Most August Oracle of the People (including Mexico), numerous crack-brained inventors, miscellaneous "Chums" of the President (who just wanted to chat with him), and sundry other members of the batty battalion.

One chap educated and ostensibly intelligent came all the way from California to arrest the President. He ran the Secret Service gauntlet at the Union Station and calmly walked up to the White House before guards nabbed him. Another sage came from New York with a weird tale of the shooting of 400 German spies on the Brooklyn bridge every day. He wanted President Wilson to have the same system started in Washington. A woman working in a government bureau had a revolutionary invention that she wanted to bhow to Mrs. Wilson. And on the psychopatic ward records there is a robust group of rabid pro-Germans. drien wild by propaganda and worry. There is pathos in many of those cases. The latest addition is a devout little Western farmer vho was haunted by visions calling upon him to end the war at oncj. The man soid all his property and made the trip all the way to Washington. The moment he stepped off the train he asked to see President Wilson. "Come rijrht in here." said a detective, motioning to an automobile, "and I will take ou to the president's uptown office." Tho farmer entered and was whisked to th- psychopathic ward. Eagle-eyed plain-cluthcs men, stem the tide of cranks at the Union Station. Only the cleverest crank can get near the White House. And it takes a fane mrr to get inside.
