War Map Supplement in Star
Today Praised by Legislators
Senator Copper Calls 1t the Best Piece
OfWork Done Along Thot Line

Although the present European
conflict is establishing one prece-
dent after another, the basic prin-
ciples of warfare remain unchanged
and an understanding of the his
tory Of the World War and of the
events leading up to the present
struggle should do much to clear
up otherwise puzzling features of
the daily news.
Maps Of Frontier.
BY consulting the first map in the
supplement, showing the ground
battlefields along the Franco
German frontier, for example, it is
believed the reader will be able to
gain clearer idea of the relative
Importance of war moves which may
be made by the opposing armies.
In this connection, those who like
to keep their own "score" by using
colored pins or pencils will find the
heavy-paper editions of this supple
ment ideally suited for this pur-
pose.
Similarly, the other maps and
texts will be found useful in con-
nectlon with the day-to-day news
OF naval engagements. ocean COM
merce raids, air raids or other mill
tary or naval developments.
Economic and commodity develop
ments may be fully as important
possibly more important-than mill
tary developments alone in this war.
Such news in itself becomes the
more important when the back
ground is considered. For this rea-
son the supplement will be found to
include, on the last page, a special
commodity" map and a summary 1t
the situation regarding the various
classes Of war materials essential to
the German military effort.
