the war staff which conducted the
project for the benefit of American
soldiers in France itui'ned. the build-
ing over to the new corps of penna-
uent librarians.
It then became a rendezvous for
.people of la.ll nations wishing educa-
tion in American art science and
literature and for Americans in I2u-
ropo wanting to keep in contact with
"the States."
The venlture has been financed by
American business firms and Ameri-
can rciiilenls in Paris. The Anieri-
frn l.ibiary association contributed
the cli'ef lihi.irhin as its share In
jiromoling closer intellectual union
of ir'e new and old worlds.
The thousands of American tour-
ists due in France tho next few

brary one of Khelr liead(iiarters. It
I'cnti.lns an iniimenso collection of
H ravel books including virtually evo-
ly godd book in print dealing with
continental countries gathered to-
gether for the benefit of doughboys
wanting to ceo Europe before going
home.
Tho library is a composit of all
the army libraries operated by t':e
American Library association In
France. It comprises between 2-" 000
and 30000 volumes.
As it is the only place in Europe
where students can find a coiwpara-
tivciy complete array of best Ameri-

LIBERTY LOAN flols
The fact that so many government war time
Liberty Loan bonds have been placed on the
market has brought the price of; these securi-
ties to a low level. . .
' It is known that a large per cent of the pro-
ceeds of these bond sales has been used in spec-
ulative"und non-essential investments.
We believe that in the very near future the
market price of these bonds will advance.
And we therefore would advise you to hold
to these good government securities.
