THE WAR and the Encyclopaedia Britannica TX 7E have decided to undertake the preparation of a New " " Volume to be added to the present 29 volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition. The New Volume will be devoted to the war and will have the effect of bringing the information in the Encyclopaedia Britannica down to the date of the conclusion of peace. It will contain a full and authoritative account of the historical background out of which the war sprang, with special reference to the political, social and racial conflict of interests of all the nations concerned. ' It will give exhaustive treatment to the progress of the war, step by step and in all countries. It will show the immediate results of the war not only on the mili tary side, but on the economic side as well, and it will thus enable the reader to foresee its ultimate results in the readjustments that will follow in ail nations. The war's geographical results will also be fully dealt with, and new maps, to take place of present ones, will be given wherever there are changes in present boundaries. The new volume will be written on the same high level of au thority, comprehensiveness and impartiality which has always dis tinguished the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and which has made its pronouncements on any controversial subject of unique value to the reader. , I The editor will take especial care to give readers a judicial account of the war, and will exercise such control over the contributors that the narrative will be foefajn-^artisarvfeel^ Those who will be asked to contribute will be writers of the same standing and qualifications as those who wrote for the Britannica itself. The magnitude of the war, in which practically all countries are directly concerned, makes it necessary that its history should be treated with the high authority that can only be attained by em ploying the incomparable resources of the Britannica; it also calls for the putting into concrete and authoritative form, for present-day readers and for posterity, of the facts of a chapter of history which will be of immeasurable influence on the future of civilization every where in the world. The War Volume will be, in fact, a complete reference work on the greatest war of history, and in its own field just as good a book as the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The New Volume will not only give a fair, unbiased and full account of the war itself— how it started, how it was fought, the changes and innovations it brought about—but it will also deal with the results of the war outside the sphere of fighting. Particular attention will be given to those economic factors in the present war which have led to the adoption by all the belligerents of new meas ures to safeguard their national welfare. Articles will also be writ ten to tell of any new^discoveries^i^gTOgres^i^ndustryandscience. For instance, in surgery, aviation, submarine warfare and public hygiene there have been developments of primary importance. These and any other advances in knowledge will be fully dealt with. Thu^vill^virtually^j^akjjjjhe^^^jw^Volume^^^^upglemen^t^the Whether peace shall be made this year, next year, or the year after, the additional new matter will bring the contents of the Britannica abreast of the world's knowledge as it stands when peace has been made. The date of publication will be as soon as possible after the end of the war. THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, Per President. P• S. — We have received hundreds of letters asking about thia New Volume since a newspaper paragraph announced that it was to be published. We therefore now wish to inform mil owners of the Britannica that they will in due course be notified of the date of publication. Thia New Volume will be issued in bindings to matoh their aeta, whether they bought The Cambridge University issue or the low-priced "Handy Volume" Issue, and the price at which it will be old to owner* of the Britannica will be the aame a they paid p<-r volume for the t of the Britannic* which they already own.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH SEEKS ADVICE ON GETTING MARRIED Male Reader of Mrs. Wilson Woodrow's Article Asks Her Aid The food was excellent, the atmos phere agreeably stimulating, the music pleasantly subdued. 1 thought I had a restful evening before me—Just the sort of thing that a tired business woman would enjoy. The restaurant held a par ticularly large number of interest ing types, and one of the most amus ing games in the world is to sit in a restaurant sipping one's coffee and building up the characteristics, oc-1 cupations and fortunes of people one has never seen before and never ex pects to see again. The man who had asked me to dine with him said: "I've been reading your articles in the Jour nal." There was something warm and appreciative in his tone, and I beamed. "And I want to ask your ad vice!" The happy evening of the tired business woman fell in ruins about me. He was going to ask me to hurry home and listen to a four-act play he had written, or a tifty-page motion picture synopsis. Drops of sweat beaded my brow. Every writer on the firing line knows and fears those ambuhed manuscripts which lie in wait for him at every turn of the road. "It's about getting married." The color came tack to my cheek, the light to my eye. "Oh, tliats easy," I said. "You either get married or you don't. It's pure ly a matter of choice. "That's the difficulty," he pon dered solemnly. "Now, what would you consider the two most desir able things in life?" "Every one makes a different es timate," 1 replied. "What would \'qu ?•' "Love and success," he asserted without hesitation, thus showing that he had given the matter thought. "Now I," he frowned, "have won a measure of success." "It does not require a Sherlock Holmes to tell me that," 1 assured him. "Any man who can order a dinner in these days without study ing the prices on tne menu must indeed have prospered. But it is odd that you should have intro duced this particular subject," I off, "because 1 have a letter at home from a man who is tor mented by the same perplexity." "What does he say?" he asked eagerly. "Why, that he has devoted his younger years to building up an im portant business, and that now, when he is between forty and fifty he wishes to establish the ties of home. But he is so afraid of draw ing a blank and being miserable for the rest of his life that he doesn't dare venture." "My case exactly." Herbert nod ded. "What advice did you give him?" "Nothing as yet. All I could think of was to tell him not to be faint hearted, and that 'One day with life and heart is more than time enough to find a wife.' But that sounded flippant. It's apparent that he has very consistently guarded himself against the danger of falling in love." "Well, I don't think he should be blamed for that," contended Her bert. He wants something more than merely to get married. He wants a delightful and congenial compan ion, a woman with similar tastes and a sympathetic nature. At least that's the way I feel." "Yes, and both of you are un willing to incur any risks in the ven ture. But there's no undertaking in life that 1 ever heard of where you don't to take risks and plenty of them." "It isn't that we lack courage, insisted Herbert, who had now made hia case identical with that of my correspondent. "It's rather an em barrassment due to the fact that we feel ourselves on unfamiliar ground." "But look at this side of it," I argued. "Either of you is sure enough of himself in matters of business, otherwise you would hard ly have achieved the success of which you boast. That shows that you are accustomed to take risks and discount them. Both of you, I haven't a doubt, have always mini mized the risks where it could be done; but still there have been a lot of hurdles that you've had to take at full speed and without know ing just where you were going to land. As businessmen you are trained to a constant calculation and weighing of chances; to do so is sec ind nature to you by this time. You know that in buteiness, when there's something to be done, the choice of methods, important though it be. is subordinate to the spirit behind the doing of it. 'because the determina tion and the energy that one puts into it are what bring it to a success ful issue." "All true, agreed Herbert, but this matter of marriage is a venture in a new direction. It's of grave significance to me, and also evident ly to this correspondent of yours, riot to make a mistake. Naturally we hesitate." "And that very hesitation makes you magnify the chances against you," 1 said. "Why don't you apply the same methods here that you have used to such good purpose in your business affairs? There you trust vour instincts, and go ahead. Whv don't you follow the same logic where your emotions are concerned und plunge as whole heartedly? I haven't a doubt, Herbert." I, make a hazard, "but that you have some girl in mind you want to marry, and in the end you'll probably do so in spite of your terrors." "That's the bother," he muttered desperately. "How do I know that I am going to be happy?" "You might better be wondering whether you are go\ng to make her happy," I rebuked sternly. "What is it the scientists call a particular fear that haunts one? Oh, yes—a phobia. That's what you have—a marriage phobia. I have a manu script phobia. Once a woman begged me to read a story she had written. I took it home and/ lost it. I spent days in a desperate search; the car pets were taken up, the pictures lifted from the walls; I offered a re ward. But that lost story was never found. Before it disappeared the woman told me that it was just a little thing, her first attempt at writing; but after it was gone you might have thought that I was a second John Stuart Mill and it the original draft of Carlyle's "French Revolution," which his careless maid burned up. "Surely," I reverted to my theme, "marriage is no more hazardous than business. What's the first prin ciple of a business partnership? Reciprocity, of course. Well, isn't that true of marriage also? 1 ' "Then you believe that sound busi ness principles. If applied to mar riage, will insure supeess?" There was an eager light In Herbert's eye. "If you wanted to get married, would you" "If I wanted to got married," I interrupted, "I would waste no time in tiinorpus reflections. I would aim- ■.ply pick my man and then go ahead and marry him. He gasped. "But other women" he began. "I am speaking with the voice of Judge O'Grady' and also of the 'Colonel's lady,' I replied. 'You and my correspondent both may spare yourselves all your tremors and your debatings. Some charming girl has probably decided on each of you already, and you will have nothing to say about it except to beg her to be yours." CHINESE ARE ANGRY Peking, May 22.—Bitter criticism has been aroused among some of the more radical Chinese newspapers by publication in Japanese newspapers of statements that Wang Ta-hsieh, a special representative of the Chinese government sent to Tokio to confer the Grand Order of Merit on the Jap anese Kmperor, was paying tribute to Japan. The Chinese critics insist ed that China, instead of paying tribute, conferred an honor upon Japan by giving the order to the em peror. AIRPLANES DEVELOPED Paris, May 22.—The speed of light ing airplanes has been doubled dur ing the war, while the ascending power of the airplane has been mul tiplied ten times. The progress in aviation provoked by the needs of the national defense has given rise to speculation as to what advan tages may be derived from it when peace has been restored. Letter and parcel carriers in regions lacking railroad communications is one sug gestion.
