Capt. Thomas G. Chamberlains book "Why We Fought with 'Foreword" by Ex-President Taft, the following are some of the most interesting:
 Dr. Charles R. Brown, Dean School Of Religion, Yale University, says:
 "The, league of nations is the most im- portant question now before the world, and these clear, straight words from one who fought in the great war will |serve the cause of reason and justice
 Hamilton Holt, editor The Independent says:
 q bespeak for Capt. Chamberlain's book a wide reading. No soldier in the United States army is greater authority on the league of nations. Dr. A. Lawrence Lowell, president Of Harvard University, says: By the speeches of Captain Chamber lain upon the belief of our fighting mer in France in league of nations to put an end to war, his audiences were strongly moved"
 Hon. Gilbert A. Hitchcock, United States Senator, says:
 Next to hearing the story of one who fought, the most convincing experi- ence is to read the book giving his req sons for the league of nations Hon. Alton B. Parker, formerly chief justice, New York, Court of Appeals, says:
 This is an interesting brief and bril- ] liant explanation of the great question upon which every American citizen should be informed"
 l pr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary pres-
 ident National Women's Suffrage asso- citation says:
 Captain Chamberlains book like his speeches gives one a glimpse into the heart of an actual American soldier who ! knows that to live for great principle and to inspire in others love for it is as
 noble as to fight for it. FALL THE BROTHERS WERE VAL ! IANT."

 adventure in an unusual setting; hidden treasure, mutinies, tropic love, all these
