Know the Wars Real Cause

This great atlas gives the first authentic accounts of
events which led up to the War-a summary OF its
great battles-sketChe of its great men. 1t gives
special maps showing the various theatres of war
in Europe, and the details of the great war are in
condensed form for quick and comprehensive read

the vast amount of material contained in this big
atlas. The double page map of the Western Battle
front and the splendid map of the North Sea are
alone worth more than the price of the entire atlas.

The mothers of Chi, in the sweet

Why shouldn't they fill up with
