GETTING TOGETHER
IAN HAY
(Captain Ian Hay Beith)
In this book, the author of "The First Hundred Thousand" discusses in an honest, straightforward way the outstanding issues between America and England. As a result of his prolonged visit to this country as a lecturer, he knows, as few Englishmen do, how the average American feels, and has written a book that will have a profound effect on both sides of the Atlantic.
Published under the joint imprint of Doubleday, Page & Co. and Houghton Mifflin Co. 50 cents, net.
OBSTACLES TO PEACE
SAMUEL S. McCLURE
The author of this notable book recently spent several months in Europe. Recognizing his standing as an American publicist, the leading statesmen of the warring countries talked to him with extraordinary frankness, regarding both the war and the terms of peace, and put him in possession of hitherto unpublished documents of the utmost importance. As the result of this first-hand information gained from responsible sources, Mr. McClure has been able to write one of the most incisive and illuminating books that have yet been called forth by the Great War. $2.00 net.
