FOUND BOOKS DEEP DOWN IN OUG-OUTS American Libra^ Association Books Sure Reach Soldiers, Says ^ BavmnnH Fasdiek & . *1 found the books of the American i Library Association everywhere in ' France," says Raymond Fosdick, chairman of the National Commission on Training Camp Activities, who has just \ ' returned from an extended trip over[ seas, during which he conducted a thorough investigation of the work being done by the various war work agencies. "I found them in dugouts thirty or forty feet below ground, in cow-barns v where shrapnel had blown parts of the roof away, as well as in the substantial huts and tents far baok from ^ / the firing .line. "I have found them in hospitals and \ dressing stations; in scattered villages In the training area where our men are billeted and even In the remote parts of France where the forestry units are carrying out their lonely, but efficient ^ and essential work. Your books are in , continual demand from the time the > soldiers arrive in camp in America ' > until they come back home after service over there." The A. L.
