44 Anglo-American Library for Central Europe 
at present been established: Berlin, Budapest, Frankfurt, Gottingen, 
Munich, Krakow, Prague and Vienna, and several consignments of 
literature have already been sent to these centres. The organisation 
for the United Kingdom is under the control of a strong committee 
under the presidency of Viscount Bryce and the chairmanship of 
Sir William Beveridge. 
Gifts of separate copies of scientific papers which have appeared 
since 1914, as well as spare copies of books and periodicals, would be 
very useful, and should be sent to the Hon. Secretary, Mr B. M. 
Headicar, London School of Economics, Clare Market, London, 
W.C. 2, by whom they will be gratefully acknowledged. Cheques 
and money orders to help the scheme should be sent to Lieut.-Col. 
George Schuster, at the same address. 
We appeal to our readers and contributors to do what they can 
in aid of this admirable scheme of help to our fellow-workers in 
Central Europe. 
THE BRITISH COMMITTEE FOR AIDING MEN OF 
LETTERS AND SCIENCE IN RUSSIA 
A strong committee of British men of science and letters, in¬ 
cluding the President of the Royal Society, the Editor of 
Nature , Mr Ernest Barker, et al., has been formed to help Russian 
men of science and letters, who are suffering great privations and 
have had practically no access to European literature since the Revo¬ 
lution. Some members of the British committee have recently been 
in direct communication with the Russians, and a comprehensive 
list of books and other publications, which they most urgently need, 
has been made. The purchase of these and the cost of transmission 
will involve a considerable expenditure, and the British committee 
are asking for subscriptions, which should be sent to the Treasurer, 
Dr C. Hagberg Wright, British Science Guild Offices, 6, John Street, 
Adelphi, London, W.C. 2. 
It is understood that there will be no obstacle to the transmission 
of the literature to the House of Science and the House of Literature 
and Art in Petrograd, the present headquarters of the Russian 
savants. This scheme also we cordially commend to those of our 
readers who can afford financial help.
