THE CAMPS LIBRARY.

(To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]

Sue—You would be greatly assisting our troops in the various theatres of war if you would be good enough to remind your readers of how greatly the books which they read and enjoy are needed and appreciated by our fighting men. Books and maga- zines have only to be handed over the counter of any post office, unwrapped and unaddressed, when they will be sent to the Camps Library without delay, for the use of the troops in all the theatres of war. In these days it is practically and patriotically immoral to leave any book unused or unread upon a shelf. As food-hoarding is to be deprecated, so too is book-hoarding !—I am, Sir, &c.,

EDWARD WARD,

Chairman, The Camps Library.

45 Horseferry Road, Westminster, S.W. 1.
