On this head an inquiry into the books bought for the German Reichswehr, whose library budget amounts to ten thousand pounds a year, is of interest. The ten thou- sand pounds includes magazines and newspapers, and works out, since Germany's new army consists of 100,000 men, at the equivalent of two shillings per head a year.
