II BATTLES WHICH
MADE THE WORLD

In these stirring war times. our
thoughts turn naturally to martial
subjects. We read and talk OF
armies and battles. Ono OF the
most interesting contributions to
the war literature Of the hour is
series by Capt. Roland F. Andrews
entitled Battles Which Made the
world" In every great crisis OF the
worlds history there has been a
great battle to tip the scales OF
destiny. Captain Andrews starts
with the battle Of Marathon. when
the hordes of Asia were turned
back from Europe BY the brave
little army cf Greece. and traces
the course of history down to our
own Gettysburg. The articles are
concise and entertaining as we'll as
