XSZTm NO REDTAPE DISTRIBUTION Simplicity of Plan Meets With Public Approval in Star-Independent's "The Nations at War" When the Star-Independent first con templated the presentation ot' the fa mous volume, "The Nations at War," to its readers on practically a gratis basis, it rejecteu every plan which would render it difficult or expensive for its readers to own this valuable lit erary work. The sole desire was to place within easy reach of every man, woman and child the means of securing this, the Jirst authentic history of the tirst six months of the great Kuropeau war with out trouble, expense or red tape, and testimonial of its success is shown by the great number of appreciative read-* ers who have availed themselves of the privilege. There is no club, no paid-in-advance subscription requirement, no promise of jatrouage, and 110 contracts to sign— merely the calling at the distribution office and securing the handsome $3.00 volume without a cent of cost except the small sum of 9S cents, to cover book rights and handling fees. It is safe to say that no library in this city, or any large city in this country, contains a work 011 the first six months of the war anywhere as near complete, compact and concise as this excellent volume, and to -obtain first editions of this story of the war was an achievement worthy of note. Although many reader" have secured copies for their hom>s and libraries, to those who have not yet done so the fol lowing description will be interesting: The "Nations at War" is by Willis J. Abbot.
