filled cigar made from tobacco thor
oughly ripened under the rays Of the

Chicos is fully matured and seasoned
and burns finely and perfectly, with
tne flavor and fragrance. Mr. Glenn
mer says a cigar with a dark wrapper,
as this shows that the tobacco has
been fully matured, but whichever

"The Moral Damage of War" by Rev. Walter Walsh, is published by Ginn and Company, Boston, and Is a strong arraignment of the war system. and is 8 most timely volume in view of the spread of public sentiment against war as a method of settling interna- tional differences. The book is a pow erful condemnation of the Boer war and all such war. The sweeping repu- diation by the English people of the sentiment and policy which made the nation responsible for the Boer war is dwelt upon and MT Walsh's burning pages make us well understand this noteworthy revulsion in English poli
 ties and feeling; and the morals which he points for England are morals like wise for America and every nation tempted to similar courses. He traces in successive chapters the moral dam age of war to the child, to the soldier, to the politician, to the journalist, to the preacher, to the trader, and to the patriot; and he fortifies his judgments by such body of references to specific words and deeds in England during the madness of the Boer war as eonsti- tutes for the student of war almost the most valuable feature of his work
 MT. Walsh, who is an eloquent Scotch clergyman, was present at the Boston Peace Congress in 1904, where his fer vent speeches deeply impressed all who heard him; and to those who attended that congress this new American edi- ton of his powerful book Is especially dedicated. Unhappily much of his cen- sure and warning is needed among cer- tain sections of our own people as truly as in England. Wherever the work is read it will be a wholesome and com manding call to a better way of arbit- rament among Christian nations than the brutal way of war. This volume is the seventh in the International Libra ry series edited by Edwin D. Mead and published for the International Union by Ginn and Company, It comprises 462 pages. Price only seventy-five cents. The previous volumes are Bloch's "The Future of War" Charles Summers Addresses on War" Chan ning's Discusses on War" Warmers ''The Ethics of Force" Bridgman's World Organization" and Dodge's War Inconsistent With the Religion of Jesus Christ" the price of each of which is fifty cents, mailing price from ten to fifteen cents additional. In an appeal in behalf of the beneficent cause represented by this International Library Mr. Edwin Ginn says In clos ing: Deeply impressed by our obliga- tions and our great opportunities as
 Americans at this juncture, I have felt that the most effective influence against the military spirit would be the wide circulation among our people of the best international books, condemn ing the methods of force and inculca- ting the methods of reason in the set clement of the differences between na- tions. The literature of the peace movement is very extensve; but almost all of it is unavailable in cheap and at tractiye form This should be reme-
