Germans Ask What They Are Fighting For The persistent peace talk in the German papers and the equally persistent official and semi-official denials that Germany has no desire to open negotiations for peace, present a curious contradiction. In THE LITERARY DIGEST for November 20th this phase cf the war is covered in an interesting way. Direct translations from the German press for and against peace are given, and the American reader is enabled to sense the feeling of the German people as reflected in their newspapers. One editor who is not altogether friendly to Germany has described her as being in the position of a “poker player, who, after a run of luck, is anxious to get out of the game while the majority of the chips on the table lie before him. Other features that command attention are: WHAT WILL GREECE DO?

For, I think, at least fifteen years my name hat been on your subscription list. 1 expect to continue a reader of the DIGEST as long as I continue to read anything. “ To attempt to gain anything like a clear view of the world's activities through the fogs of prejudice and the clouds of self-interest that han« always about thp local newspaper i i hopeless task. For one who would look with unobstructed vision upon the moving world forces that make for or against the welfare of human kind, THE LITERARY DIGEST is a mountain peak in n clear sky. “ To spend hours searching the daily columns of chaff for a few grains of possible truth is a heart-breaking waste of time. And more—one’s eyes become so blinded, one’s brain so bewildered, by the whirl of unholy dust that one is made incapable of recognizing with any degree of certainty the truth for which he searches. To have the best thought of the best thinkers separated from the mass of worthless matter, winnowed from the dirt of sensationalism and, irresponsible thoughtlessness, and presented clean with the unprejudiced scientific dependability of a modern threshing machine, is a Godsend to all who feel that they have work to do that requires clear thinking. “ Because THE LITERARY DIGEST gives me an unclouded view of the world's doings, because it places me in an atmosphere above prejudice and local self-interest, because it separates for me the grain of the world's thought, from the chaff ot idle words, and cleans it of the dirt of sensationalism, I appreciate and enjoy it, and am correspondingly grateful to the bunk & Wagnalls Company for the service.’’— Harold Bell Wright, Author of “The Shepherd of the Hills,” "The Eyes of the World,”_etc. Get the November 20th Number Now —Newsdealers —10 Cents The Jiterary Digest FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY (Publishers of the Famous NEW Standard Dictionary).
