No correspondent In active operation
during the great World War was more
widely read or more implicitly relied
upon than Philip Gibbs--now Sir
Philip by grace OF kingly authority
,and In deserved recognition OF his
ability and eminent services. He
proved himself a man OF keen and
sure appreciation, with unusual pow
crs of observation a..d during bis war
career had ample opportunity OF get
ting at the facts. as he was trusted
by the leaders OF the allied armies. and
allowed every assistance in the per-
formances Of his work that was re-
garded as consistent with the stern
rules OF. military procedure. His war
pictures were vivid reproductions OF
the scenes of battle, and his observa-
tlons OF the after effects OF war upon
both countries and people. especially
as they affected the future OF the lat
ter. were so comprehensively set forth
that they carried conviction wher-
ever read. For these reasons all that
he wrote, and all that he said in his
public addresses and formal lectures,
both In Europe and In this country,
were received with interest and with
the abiding faith that he knew where
OF he wrote or spoke.
Sir Philip Gibbs previous work,
Now II Can be Told" has been called
| by critics "the most thrilling, dramatic
and permanently valuable literature
of the war" His latest book, More

bulent years since the war came to an
end. In 1t the author again turns the
searchlieht on another vital epoch In
world history--of conditions in Europe
since the war. He has seen what few
others have seen, and has learned
from personal conversation with
thousands of people of all classes
throughout Europe startling facts
which ccnsors and potent secret in.
fiuences have kept from the public
since the war.
