The principal work engaging the association since the entrance of the United States into the war has been that of providing library facilities for the army, navy and marine corps, a task delegated to the American Library association by the commissions on training camp activities, war and navy departments.

Doren, Dayton (Ohio) Public library. Herbert Putnam, librarian of congress, is general director of the library war service.

A fund exceeding $1,750,000 was raised by popular subscription. The American people further contributed to the work by donating several millions of books. Under the comprehensive plan of service adopted, special library buildings, housing large collections in charge of trained librarians, have been established in the large army, navy and marine corps camps. service having been given as well to smaller camps, posts and stations. to ships, and to the men in service overseas. The following figures are of September, 1918: Forty-one library buildings in operation, forty-three large camp libraries established: 143 hospitals and Red

WRECK OF THE PRINCESS SOPHIA.

The Canadian Pacific Steamship company's passenger steamer Princess Sophia, caught in a snowstorm, ran on the Vanderbilt reef in Lynn canal, south of Skagway, Alaska, Oct. 24, 1918, while on her way to Vancouver. Help was summoned and several boats arrived on the scene, but as there did not seem to be any immediate danger the passengers storm sprang up and the steamer, after bewere not taken off. On the following day a ing pounded against the rocks, was lifted from the reef and dropped to the bottom of the channel. There were 343 persons aboard. most of them outbound Alaskans and residents of the Yukon territory, and all lost their lives. The Princess Sophia was a vessel of 2,320 tons.

WORLD'S GREATEST BUFFALO HERD.

The herd of buffalo in Wainwright park, Alberta, Canada, contained 3,500 animals in 1918 when a roundup was made. This is believed to be the largest buffalo herd in the worid. The original herd from which this has grown consisted of 402 head bought in 1909 by the Canadian government from an Indian named Pablo in the Flathead valley, Montana. The United States government has a large and growing herd on a reservation in the Flathead valley. There are other herds of buffalo elsewhere in America and it is evident that there is no longer any danger that the buffalo will become an extinct animal.
