the world.
The publishers further announce that
the new volume will record any changes.
geographical. political or otherwise.
that may follow upon the making OF
peace. 1t will also give new maps wher-
ever necessary: and another feature will
be the inclusion Of biographies OF the
leading personages of each nation. mill
tary. naval and diplomatic, who have
played a prominent part in the war.
Many of them were practically unknown
when the war started. The history of
own civil war affords many exam
pies Of comparatively obscure men who
won immortal fame on one side or the
other OF that conflict.
In this connection IL is interesting 70
note that when the present war began
in August. 1914, Sir Douglas Haig. now
field marshal was in charge of the
military camp at Aldershot; General
Petain, the new chief of staff of the
French armies in the field. was retired
colonel; the mighty Won Hindenburg
was enjoying life as a private individ-
ual in small town in Germany; Lvoff.
the new russian premier, was practi-
cally unknown outside of official circles
in Petrograd.
While the greater part of the contents
, Of the new Britannica volume will be
a connected narrative of the war the
less spectacular results will be covered
also. 1t will tell of any new dfscov-
cries or progress in fields that have
been directly affected by the war such
as surgery. aviation. the development
of the submarine, the utilization of man
power in the naturalization of indus
tries. new developments in public ny
giene. and in any other directions found
necessary This in effect will make the
new volume a supplement to the Ency-
clopedia Britannica itself-a virtual re-
vision of the. work, which will bring il
abreast of the worlds knowledge as it
stands at the end of the war
The new volume will be issued in
bindings TO match the Britannica, and
The prices at which it will be sold to
present owners of the Britannica will
not exceed the per-volume price of the
Britannica as now sold.

Everyone who owns The Encyclopde-

to the war.
When the war ends the world will no
doubt slip back into its old groove and
go on about as before, but every one
will want true account of the war
to know who began II. how it was
fought, what changes apd innovations II
brought about. They will want not the
ephemeral guess-work of the magazine
writer or the biased account of the ma
tional historian, but an accurate and ju-
diciaI story by scholars and experts
The features of this New Volume
which will strongly appeal to all Ameri-
cans. is the fact that the publishers will
apply to the preparation of the New Vol
ume the same high standard of impair
TALLY and accuracy and thorougnness OF
treatment that mark the parent work it.

speak. a complete reference work on the
