GREATER ITALY

BY WILLIAM KAY WALLACE

Mr. Wallace presents to us not the romantic Italy with which we are all too familiar, but the realist Italy, the Italy of to-day.

He shows how, in pursuance of this stern realism in politics, Italy's intervention in the war on the side of the Allies was compelled in spite of the resistance of such powerful forces as Giolitti, the ProGermans, and the Vatican.

He carefully traces Italy's rise as a world power, showing the causes of her unnatural alliance with Germany and Austria.

He lays bare the intrigues and schemes of the Pan-German movement endeavoring to sap the blood of Italy and compel her submission. But at the same time he shows the forces at work for Italy's emancipation from foreign control.

The book is an intensely fascinating and peculiarly lucid study of European history and the inner workings of international politics during the past sixty years. With maps. $2.50 net

ITALY AT WAR

That she holds more enemy territory in Europe than all of the other nations?

LETTERS AND DIARY OF
ALAN SEEGER

With a Portrait Hitherto
Unpublished

The letters and diary of this young
American warrior-poet give a most
intimate and personal record of his
stirring life at the front up to the
time of his death on the field of
Belloy-en-Santerre.

Alan Seeger's prose has the emo-
tional imagery of poetry and the
force of a soldier's direct narrative.
It is the expression of a brave and
sensitive soul meeting gladly and
courageously all of the vicissitudes
and tragedies of the Great War.

POEMS BY ALAN SEEGER
4th Large Printing

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY
WILLIAM ARCHER

$1.25 net

That in one battle she lost more men than both sides lost at Gettysburg?

That her trenches if stretched out would extend as far as from New York to Salt Lake City, and these trenches were not dug but, for the most part, blasted from solid rock?

That she has engaged as a minimum 750,000 men?

That her position in the war is largely unknown because, a very young and unsophisticated nation, she is ignorant of the finesse of ad- · vertising and propaganda?

Mr. Powell reveals in this book a splendid effort of a sincere people and in so doing presents by far the most picturesque, interesting, and ingenious type of fighting of this war-it is like reading about a new and utterly different war. $1.50 net

WHITE NIGHTS

AND OTHER RUSSIAN IMPRESSIONS

BY ARTHUR RUHL

Far from being a routine, descriptive book, this is one of those rare studies which, through its vivid impressions of Russian ways of thinking and feeling and of such cities as Petrograd and Moscow, seem to get at the very essence of a people and its environment. The chapters "White Nights," "At the Front," "Russian War Prisoners," and "The Volga Refugees" give some key to directions in which the book touches the most recent life of Russia. The chapter on the Duma, carried as it is to the very date of the revolution, supplies information and intelligent explanation nowhere else available at this moment, when they are so greatly needed by American readers. $2.00 net

THE WILL TO FREEDOM, or THE GOSPEL OF NIETZSCHE AND THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, by Rev. John Neville Figgis, D.D., Litt.D., of the Community of the

Resurrection, Honorary Fellow of St. Catherine's College, Cambridge. This is a discriminating and brilliant discussion of Nietzsche. It tells briefly the story of Nietzsche's life, summarizes his message, contrasts it with Christianity, traces its sources in part to earlier thinkers, and estimates its value and significance. Nietzsche's central doctrine is shown to be his ideal of a superior order of beings, the supermen, who are to be evolved at any cost either to themselves or to the inferior mob. The best in Nietzsche, according to this author, is. his.scorn of cowardice (as contrasted with easy-going utilitarianism) and his gospel of freedom as against mechanism. $1.25 net.

FAITH IN CHRIST, by John J. Moment, Pastor of High Street Presbyterian Church, Newark, N. J. Doctor Moment, who in his modernness exemplifies the "priest in tweeds," sets forth the essentials of Christian doctrine, stripped of externals and accretions, and he does this with the ardor and vigor of one who, after the apostolic example, testifies that which he knows. Many readers, repelled by the elaborate apparatus of systematic theology on the one hand and on the other by the outworn literalness of traditional interpretations, will find in Doctor Moment's volume just the book they have been looking for. $1.35 net.

THE SOCIAL TEACHINGS OF THE PROPHETS AND JESUS, by Charles Foster Kent, Professor of Biblical Literature and History in Yale University. The great prophets and the founders of Judaism and Christianity were pre-eminently social teachers; the Bible is essentially a social book. This fact, which is at last beginning to be generally appreciated, is admirably brought out in Professor Kent's new volume. It is an invaluable book for the man who has learned that the Bible has something vital to say about such matters as the living wage or the direct primary. The book is, in short, a veritable power-house of social inspiration. $1.50 net.

THE AMATEUR PHILOSOPHER, by Carl H. Grabo, Instructor of English at Chicago University. "Dr. Grabo's book is unique and valuable. It is for the average American, not scholars or specialists, not ignorant or untrained, but living, thinking, working, striving to face clearly the problems of life and of the relation of man to the universe that brought him into being and to the society in which he lives."-New York Times. $1.50 net.

STANDARDS, by William C. Brownell.

With penetrating analysis, keen wit, sarcasm that lays open the bare spaces in our national taste, Mr. Brownell keeps his readers in a constant state of expectancy and amused surprise. He writes of "Measures of Value," "The Public," "Taste," and "The Individual." "Judged by the most exacting standards, and in the international field, Mr. Brownell holds a foremost place as an essayist of critical temper and analytical method, broadened and enriched by vital human interest. In the hands of this able and courageous writer the essay in America has reached its highest level of penetrating intelligence and intellectual vigor."-HAMILTON WRIGHT MABIE. $1.00 net.
