NelU History Of the War

Persons who desire an under
standing of the great war, the things
that led up to it. its developments
from beginning to end, and its re-
suits that changed the whole face
of the world, will find "The History
of the World War" which mas inst
come from the presses of the Liter
airy Digest a fascinating and en-
tightening work
This 10-volume history, which has
been five years in preparing, was
edited by Francis w. Halsey. I'm
like some histories, which are able
to give the reader only the second
hand knowledge of the historian,
this work gives the first hand knowl-
edge of statesmen. war correspon-
dents, fighting men, who lived
through the many phases of the con-
flict. The result is that this new
work gives the reader the personal
stories, explanations and reports of
such men as Marshal Foch, Sir
Admiral Rodman, Viscount Bryce
Cardinal MERCER, Prince Lichnow-
sky and many more who watched
the war at close range. All these
stories have been carefully welded
together into a rapidly moving and
graphic description of the whole
struggle IN all it's phases.
Nearly a Thousand maps and
photographs. including severa
which reveal what were conditions
behind enemy lines, add interest to

"DeDiPS Dyke" at Auction

The Devils Dyke, the world
famous spot with traditionary
legend, five miles from Brighton, the
noted sea bathing beach of England,
has been sold at auction for 5000
The Dyke estate includes 100 acres
of land, with a hotel and many
pretty bungalow sites.
Here is where old Satan kicked
up a muss in the misty past This
historic dyke is an abrupt declivity
in the Sussex Downs and has all the
appearance of a trench cut by giant
eXcaVators. According to the Lon
don Telegraph, local tradition
credits the Devil with the execution
of the work, the object being to cut
through the Downs in order to
drown the churches on the Weald
with the thrush of the sea. The
devil, however, was frightened, so
the story goes, by an old woman,
awakened by the noise he was max
ing. Her candle at the window,
shaded by a sieve, he mistook for
sunrise, ard bolted, leaving his foot
prints burnt into the turf on the edge
of the dyke. The estate stands
about seven hundred feet above sea
level and commands fine views OF the
channel, the Isle of Wight, Weald of
Sussex, Leith Hill, Box Hill, and even
so far distant "a place as Windsor
Castle.
During the war the military au-
thorities utilized the dyke as a train
ing ground for bombing operations

Why Consult Europe?
[From Kansas City Times ]

IL IOlll INstlSdS NllS
The President, it was said at the
White House, probably would take
up with the other powers what
compromise reservations would be
acceptable TO them"
Just why should we ask the pow
ers of Europe to what extent we
may refuse to entangle ourselves in
European affairs in the future?
The United States went into the
war wholeheartedly and without
stint. 1t spent 80 billion dollars, it
conscripted its young men, it sent
more than two millions of them
overseas, it left its thousands of dead
in France, it furnished the balance
of force that saved Europe.
In return it asked nothing for
itself except freedom to live its own
life. Other nations got extensions
of territory and vast colonies as we'll
as indemnities. The United States
took nothing. 1t was satisfied that
it's allies that had suffered terribly
should reap whatever material ad-
vantage was to be had. If the same
emergency should arise in the future
undoubtedly the course of this coun-
try would be the same. But it in
sists on being the sole judge as to
its duty.
