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
