This week has been set aside for the collection of books for the soldiers, at the express recommendation of General Pershing. Like the clothing collection, it entails a minimum of sacrifice and a maximum of use. Books of all kinds that are modern and readable are in the greatest demand...

There is, unfortunately, a great possibility that the same radical elements which have made themselves felt before will oppose the measure on the ground that many roads will continue extravagant management and dividends of unnecessary size; they may do their utmost to so reduce the compensation and restrict the owners that some roads will not be able...
