Ten thousand Serbian glrlB from ten to fourteen years old have been kidnap ped and deported from Serbia to the harems of Constantinople, to Bul garia and Asia Minor, says advices received iby"3l. I'esitch, the Serbian premier, who is now in London. "These deportations," said M. Pasltch, "have been going on since February, 191G, but the number was very limited until a few weeks ago. tXow'U has been systematized under Bulgarian controllers, and it is im possible to predict how fur it will go. "Eight thousand girls have been sent lo Constantinople, and two thousand more to Bulgaria and Asia Minor. Prisoners whom we have tak en on the Salonika front tell us that the traffic in our girlhood has grown to be a byword in Bulgaria and Tur key. "The girls are kidnnpped r-nd tak en away secretly, particularly from the smaller villages, until at present dozens of small towns have been quite denuded of the young female population. "I do not think that the Tuiks are the actual instigators of this gross violation of the rules of civilized warfare.

"The girls are too young to bo of any use for laboring purposes, be sides, neither Turkey nor Bulgaria Is seriously handicapped for labor. and in Turkey the use of young wo men for outdoor work is practically unknown. "It is very difficult tor us to do anything to help these unfurtunalo victims. Our affairs in Constanti nople and Sofia are now in the hands of the Dutch government. But von kuow how difficult it Is to get any action fionr 'turkey. We have sug gested, for instance, that Bouie scheme of repatriation be put Into effect immediately, that the girls should be Bent back to some place beyond the war zone. But 1 fear it Is loo late to save them, and that we can only wait in patience until peace comes." ATTENTION' SPANISH AMEIUOAN WAR VETKKANS.

NO WAR BOOKS WILL BE SENT TO SOLDIERS I Three hundred and fifty thousand books, hundreds, perhaps thousands 1 of the authors; not a cent of royalty to the authors and scant profits to i the publishers. J That is the work already acconi- plished by the war library council, . which was instructed by Secretary of I War Baker to raise $1,000,000 to ; construct, equip and operate soldiers' , libraries at the 32 cantonments and , camps In this country and at the base camps in France and also supply the soldiers and the sick and injured with books. Adventure tales will top the list and that is appropriate for the war will be the "Great Adventure" in the lives of most of those participat ing. So, Harold Blindloss, adven ture story writer, is drawn for 28 different works. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, comes next with 21, while immortal Charles Dickens and Rob ert Chambers are authors of 20 works which will be duplicated many times In libraries. Oh, yes, Mr. Ty rus Raymond) Cobb, better known ac "Ty," comes forward with his one book, "Bustins Em." Will there be books on war? There will not. The council feels that the soldiers will be getting all their war at first hand. So far, while contracts for hooks have been let, the committee has only reached the letter G. Hundreds of libraries were consulted and the soldiers and sailbrs, too. The book list will recommend not what some one thinks some one else "ought" to read, but what those some one sol diers and sailora want to read. Oregon cities are busily engaged In raising their apportionment or the war library fund and not ono but promises to exceed the small allot ments. I - "Do It Electrically".
