Action to this effect was taken last night, at a meeting of the directors, following the presentation of a motion by w. i-. woodward, director, for the speedy and complete destruction of the offending volumes, in line with his re quest at a previous meeting for an Im mediate and thorough search of the shelves for such works. Mr. Wood ward's motion reoeived no second. Incineration Provided For. The unseconded motion provided that the Department of Justice, through the United States District Attorney, con duct an examination of the books now interned, with a view to taking such action against the authors, publishers or circulators as might be deemed fit. and that, on the evening of July 4, the pro-Prussian volumes be Incinerated In the furnace of Central Library, all di rectors supervising the blaze. Upon the absence of any second to this motion,. Chairman Ayer authorized the book committee to take custody of the obnoxious 98, with instruction to take every precaution to see that they do not regain circulation. In re ply to Mr. Woodward's question of what would become of the books, the chairman replied that they would be locked up and made inaccessible. Chairman Ayer added in explana tion of the interment plan, that such works will prove valuable in years to come as tne means of light upon historical happenings of today, espe cially if they are of controversial char acter a position in which all the di rectors, with the exception of Mr. Woodward, supported him. Mr. Woodward Make Pica. "I take it, sir," expostulated Mr. Woodward, In one last defense of his motion for the Fourth of July cere mony, "that there are many of these books that have no value of an his torical character, whatever; that are so manifestly false and misleading that their very presence in this library la a menace. The 88 Interned volumes run the literary gamut, from philosophical works of German authors to fiction that bears the plain taint of propagan da. For the duration of the war they will be withheld from all access, under lock and key. Following the session, various di rectors. In discussing the internment plan, stated their opinion that the in terned books will prove Invaluable as evidence of the Prussian acherao to gain advantage through propaganda and to prepare opinion for the war they waged against civilization. Editor Defends Publication. Eugene E. Smith, editor of The Me diator, a Portland periodical, appeared before the board of directors and en tered objection to the classification of his publication by Mr. Woodward, at the meeting, as one which contained matter of questionable nature the di rect reference being to the January issue, which contained an article by C. E. S. Wood. - Mr. Woodward stated that he had no animus against Mr. Smith or The Me diator, but that he maintained his po sition concerning the Wood article. which dealt with the philosophical creed of the I. W. W., and spoke of the effectiveness of a general strike. if such should be organized, toward the dictation of National policies. That he did not appear for Colonel Wood, but that the article In question was susceptible of a broader interpre tation, was the contention of Mr. Smith, who said that his business had been In jured aeverely by the publication of the charge that the Mediator contained mattr inimical to the interests of the Nation. American Ideala Vpbeld. Mr. Smith declared that a perusal of the Mediator would suffice to convince anyone of his stand for the principles for which America is waging war, and of his constant endeavor to present these principles to his readers.
