The year 1916 was one of important records in war abroad and in peace industry and legislative, progress at home.

In the 1917 is- sue of nearly 1.200 pages, this annual presents the last word of the calen- dar hour for the first and last of it's uncounted consultants. It runs the ravage of events from pugilism to president making, from politics to preaching. from automobiles to agri- culture, from records of destruction to records of construction.
 In the pages given to war are a chronological table of battle events abroad, the kaiser's peace proposal President Wilson's note to the bellig- erents, list of peace societies and movements, the text of our own-arrny bill, details of American preparedness plans, texts of peace treaties. and con trfbutions to relief funds.
