THE SIX GREATEST MEN
(By Moses Folsam)

Herbert George Wells, one of the
most versatile and voluminous writ
ers of the present time, was born Gin
England. September 81, 1866, and is
therefore Sc years old, and his books
20 date number fifty-ive. He is a
worldwide traveller, and the range of
his work is not only amazing but
thought provoking His latest effort
is known as an "Outline of History,
in which he digests the whole record
ed story of man. With brilliancy he
batters the reputation of the worlds
greatest soldiers.-Alexander, Caesar,
Napoleon and others-who were de-
stroyers and brought untold suffering
to the world, all for their own selfish
purposes.
Mir. Wells came to the United
States to report the recent disarma-
ment conference in Washington, and
lust before his departure for home,
Bruce Barton interviewed him and
asked him to name six of the world S
greatest men. His list includes a
Jew, two Hindus, a Greek, an En-
glishman and an American.
Put on your thinking cap and see
how near you can come to his selec-
ton. With startling and effective
reasons he wipes all soldiers off the
slate, with one exception, that OF
Asoka, the only military monarch on
record who Abandoned warfare after
victory. He ruled a vast empire IN
his day, and after one war he de-
voted himself to the happiness of his
people. You may never before have
heard of Asoka, his name is not in
the encyclopedias, but Mr.Wells round
him in his study of the great men OF
the world. The story is found in The
American Magazine for July, with his
reasons why he named Jesus, Buddha,
Aristotle. Asoka, Bacon and Lincoln
This list may surprise you, but Mr..
Wells gives very substantial and con-
vincing reasons for his opinion. His
six men rendered large service, they
gave. while emperors, kings and mil
lionaires. took. He names Bacon as
the greatest Englishman, ard you will

1910, that the time. would come when
ships would move without rowers,
when cars would move without being
drawn By animal power, and when
men would navigate the air in flying
machines. Bacon had vision and de-
msnded that men should experiment

be possible when they threw off ths
