K - D U TT O N'S 68 1 Fifth Ave. JVe w York A GREAT- NOVEL AND A MARVELOUS PICTURE OF FRENCH AND GERMAN CHARACTER The Four. Horsemen of the Apocalypse ' By VICENTE BLASCOIBANEZ Author of "The Shadow of the Cathedral," etc. BECAUSE it is beyond question the greatest novel the war has produced certainly the book most talked of everywhere just now, one that every one will find of deep interest. BECAUSE, besides being n story of compelling interest, it is an analysis of the shaping of national character which tiemendously concerns the American people, the more effective because it is so unobtrusive. BECAUSE, in the opinion of many critics, it is the one novel which will long survive the war. As one critic says, it has all the elements which assure to a novel life. "It is full of the pain and beauty and desire of life, but it is never hectic, it has a large canvas but is never uncertain of focus, and its author knows life deeply and yet has faith in it." (X. Y. Times.) BECAUSE this very human and interesting .story in its last scene "turns the reader's mind away from the horrors of war and the great crime of the Geimans to the time when other life bhall inhabit the earth and be the wiser and the freer for the sufferings of this generation and this war." The Diali "Blasco Ibane: is, above all things, a writer of intense, radiant power, . . . ICe triumphs in scenes demanding epic descrip tion, until we are overwhelmed with the aense of actuality and feel a strange thrill of actual participation . . . the Spaniard stands easily in the forefront of those who hare written of the present con flict."
