AUTHENTIC WAR BOOKFOR READERS OF THIS PAPER Newspapers Unite in Big Flan to Pre sent the Facts of the Great Con vict Now Being Waged in Eu The world, as we know it to-day, is the result of what wars and their at tending causes have made it. The pres ent Kuropean war is the bloodiest of them all, and will make the greatest noise in history. I p to the present the public, on whom the burden of war falls, has had onh the dispatches and press news of what is happening across the Atlantic. These first reports are often denied or distorted by later reports to such an ex tent that they cause great confusion in the minds of our people, and wonder ment as to just what is authentic. The Star-Independent has striven to the best of its ability to give the latest news of this great conflict as fast as it could be gathered. But at best news and authentic historv must vary. Ever awake to the enlightenment of its readers, the Star-Independent, in connection with other large dailies, sought diligently for the best book it could ti 11 d which would be absolutely neutral, and setting forth the facts as they will go down in history. We discovered a remarkably com plete book entitled. ''The Nations at War," by the well-known writer. Wil lis J. Abbott, author of other standard books on international subjects, who has acquired recognition as an un prejudiced historian. This volume, just off the press, cov ers every event which has occurred during the first six months of the Euro pean war, and just as it will go into official history. This magnificently illustrated $3 volume contains several hundred pho tographic reproductions taken on the scenes of action. By taking its quota of the entire first edition, however, the Star-Inde pendent is in a position to distribute this interesting history to iti readers practically on a complimentary basis— requiring but a small deposit simply sufficient to pay the expressage. neces sary checking expenses nnd clerk hire incidental to handling such a large proposition. Our arrangement with the publish ers are such that the book can only be had through the daily newspapers. Every page is beautifully illustrated, showing graphically the deeds of valor, devastation of modern Europe, destruc tion of historic cathedrals and* the dia bolical havoc created by the grim, clutch of war, with its billions of cost and mighty harvest of death. The pictures have been taken wherever the events occurred by the brave photog raphers who risked their lives in order that the nations at peace may actually see what the nations at war have done in the gigantic conflict. The books are arriving in large quan tities and the presentation will begin this coming Wednesday. In a few years this unbiased history of the world's greatest war will be priceless.
