Gerard's Diary
 Made His Book Possible

To be indefinite is to be misjudged. If you cannot be certain of date, place or persons present at an event your account thereof is not accepted as authoritative. A diary in which occurrences are recorded establishes with specific evidence the circum- stances under which agreements were made or important events transpired.
 These statements were never more emphatically upheld than in the ex- perience of Ambassador Gerard re- lated in his book, My Four Years in Germany" He could not have written his book except for his care fully kept diary. As it was the ann bassador was able to write accu' rately the conversations held with the Kaiser and his ministers through most intensely dramatic and his torcal period. Not every person con- nected with this war can keep diary as nationally important as MT. Gerard's: but everybody can keep one as personally important.
 The two most necessary books ln this interesting period are diary and an English French dictionary. The newspapers of Canada and the United States are supplying to read CTS a combination of the two; the soldiers-sailors diary and English French dictionary. In this city it is being distributed exclusively on simple coupon plan explained else where in The Age- Herald.
