Every American of ordinary intelligence
wishes TO know something about the cause
Of the present war in Europe and the two
nations engaged in it, but comparatively
few have the time, even il they have the
inclination, TO read elaborate disquisitions
upon its causes or comprehensive histories
Of the two peoples probably engaged now
in the last Of series Of struggles that has
lasted for ages. Such persons need not
remain in ignorance Of the chief points ut
issue nor in total darkness as to the history
Of the Turks and Russians, when such
volumes ~ these noted above are issued
at 80 cents each in cloth, or 25 cents in
paper. They are by no means complete,
and the titles Of two of them are mislead-

clearly the character OF this Turkish
Empire in Europe, which is simply an
occupation of conquered territory by an
alien band of invaders, Notwithstanding
the fact that such occupation has lasted
for centuries.
The history of Russia is necessarily
yery condensed, but is most inter sting
and the same may be said of TAFT OF
Turkey, though IL bears mora obvious
marks Of haste than either of til, others.
We noticed, for instance, that Prussia was
named in one instance where only Persia
could have been meant. The ,lcrits OF
the little books, however, far outN eigh
