BRITISH WAR RELIEF
Threnody
Look to your tlestiny, Oh Rome,
That from the earliest years
Has wot the world in tears,
Whether for Titus oi Saint Peter's
dome.
Arc these your brigadiers,
This Aryan horde, half myth, half
Esquimaux
Like dark Attila fed
On the world's dread,
And man and woman's woo'?
How like the morning mist
Has vanished triumph now,*
Where   are   tho   laurels   for   the
Roman brow,
The marble for the dead?
And name her generals: Yamnshita,
List, Haruba, Roichcnaul
Duo to amount of armaments being
sent to England, as well as food and
Other necessities of warfare the civil
ian requirements must bo cut down to
•allow more shipping space. Therefore
we no longer send our special layettes
which were assembled with such great
care by Afrs. A. S. Freeman, and- Mrs.
.Teanetto Roney. However, we are more
than ever anxious to have enough workers to sew the children's and baby's
dresses that wo send singly without the
appurtenances of soap, wash cloth, and
talcum. Since we are so restricted it
is important that we use every bit of
space that we nvi allowed for our goods
and since wo may be more restricted
it is expedient that wo arc regular and
prolific in our production of clothes.
Beginning next week we will return
to our former plan of being open from
nine thirty to four on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, instead of every morning as wo have 'been in the summer.
Please remember that this 'is tho fouvth
winter of tho war for tho British and
help us try to keep them warmly
clothed for their ordeal.
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
Books on the War and Peace to Come
everyone to be informed as far as possible—Our latest addition to the Citizens
series is What the citizen should know
about the submarine by David O. Woodbury. No doubt you have seen the other
books in this series on the army, the
navy, the marines, the coast guard, the
air force, and civilian defense.
Plans and programs to win the war
and to win the peace must grow out
of our common national purpose and
with democratic participation in planning by all of us. If all of us are to
plan intelligently wo must get » background from which to plan. This we
can get through various agencies but
especially through the library, which is
endeavoring to cover all services and
countries. Look over tho defense material in the library and note the books
you would like to read on the development  of  the war.   It  is  the  duty of
Problems of a lasting peace by Herbert Hoover and Hugh Gibson is very
popular and should help materially in
planning the future.
Several other books of current interest have just been added; Parachutes by
Herbery Zim; American in the new
Pacific by George Taylor and Economics
of tho war by Horst Mendcrshausen are
here. A reporter's report of the Singapore affair is 0. D. Oallaher's Action
in the east, a most readablo account.
Albania's road to freedom by Vandelour
Robinson will enlighten us on a little
known country.
