A'Clear and Thrilling Picture
The wonderful LITERARY DIGEST LIBERTY
MAP shows at a glance how far the Huns have ad
vanced; how much territory they occupy, the area of
their latest "drives" ; where our own American armies,
shoulder to shoulder with our Allies, are fighting on
the great BATTLE LINE OF LIBERTY, and makes
filain the mighty task which-confronts America, the
ask of honor which our soldiers are fulfilling, glo
riously, over there, the task in which every one of
us',at home must bear a patriot's part.
If Someone You Love Is in France
this LIBERTY MAP will bring you into closer touch
with him and help you to follow his career.
When a letter comes from your boy, or your
friend, telling of the battle, you will study the Liberty
Map, and picture it all out, as he tells you where he
has been in action. And the family will gather
around that map, eagerly, to pick out the peaces.
And When the Boys Come Home
what an endless sourctTof satisfaction it will be as the
family gathers around it while the young veteran
from France points out all the places which meant
so much to him, and traces out the campaigns in
which he fought. What exciting stories he will have
to tell, and how this wonderful LIBERTY MAP will
help him to tell them, and you to understand and
enjoy them! The, Liberty Map will be a treasured
thing in-your home to keep in a place of honor and
to hand down to the next generation.
, All Arms of the Service Commend It .
On account of its remarkable qualities it has been
enthusiastically approved by the highest officials of
the Army and Navy. The Inspector General of the
Army, Major General John L. Chamberlain, describes
It as "an excellent map" which "conveys a very clear
idea of the situation." Rear Admiral H. P. Huse,
President of the Naval Examining Board, terms it
"J,J,the most satisfactory thing of the kind" he has
, seen, and adds that he does not know "how it can
be improved upon."
"It Will Be of Immense Value to Me"
writes Charles S. Sloane, Secretary of the U. S. Geo
'graphic Board, Washington, D. C., who praises its
size and 'scale particularly. The Aide to Brigadier
General Enoch H. Crowder, the Provost Marshal
General, characterizes it as "an interesting and help
ful map" and expects to "find it very useful" in his
office.
"Its Publication Is a Real Service
to the Country"
declares Daniel C. Roper, Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, and Captain Roger Welles, U. S. N., Director
of Naval Intelligence, speaks of it a,s "complete to
the minutest detail." Vice President Marshall has
given it "a prominent position in his private office,
where he may consult it from day to day."
America's Highest Map Authority ,
Endorses It
Chief Geographer It. B. Marshall, U. S. Geological Survey,
Washington, D. C, styles it "a fine piece of work in every re
spect and by all odds the best that I have seen. The shading
scheme is graphic indeed, showing at a glance the track of the
Hun in his effort to crush civilization under his cruel, inhuman
control. Each home from which has gone a father, a son, a
.jiusband or a brother, would certainly appreciate a copy of
your Liberty Map, as would those who can not go. By all
means try to put one in each home,"

Shows All the War Zones
Heretofore the lack of any war mapadequately designed
to visualize so extraordinary a situation or to give the com
plete information necessary for a full understanding of the
daily war dispatches was a serious handicap. No such war
map existed in America or Europe. So necessity drove us to
make the kind of map we needed and that all America
needed. It cost tremendously, as with the most minute care
and exactness, with the help of the best cartographers in
America we mapped the war zones in Belgium, France, England, Italy,
the Balkans, Turkey, Rumania, Germany, Austiia and Russia, but the
lesult has been worth all the great labbr and expense involved.
