Straight America, a call to national service
Kellor, Frances
National service -- United States; United States -- Defenses
What are we doing to Americanize the alien? How can we make sure
that he will emerge from the melting-pot willing to support and
to contribute to our institutions? These are the questions which
Mr. Dixon asks and to which he offers a clear and simple answer,
broad and practical in vision. His suggestions are more than merely
constructively patriotic--they are stirringly hopeful.

The Heritage of Tyre
BY WILLIAM BROWN MELONEY
_$0.50_
The first, direct, uncompromising demand for a new American mercantile
marine. Mr. Meloney points out the opportunity that is now ours, the
opportunity to recover our lost sea prestige and to set our flag
waving again in every great port of the world. Not only is this
merchant marine needed by our commerce--it is absolutely necessary
and indispensable to the support of a truly adequate navy. The United
States must be a vassal on the seas no longer.

Their True Faith and Allegiance
BY GUSTAVUS OHLINGER
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY OWEN WISTER
_$0.50_
A fair, impartial discussion of German propaganda in America describing
the methods in use and the results achieved.
“For the sake of the facts that it gathers, this book should be read
not once, but two or three times, by all Americans who believe in
Union, in Lincoln, and in Liberty--worth keeping in mind and dwelling
upon, not merely to-day, but during many to-morrows. It bears upon the
future of our national health.”--_Owen Wister._

The Forks of the Road
BY WASHINGTON GLADDEN
_$0.50_
Awarded the prize offered by the Church Peace Union for the best essay
on war and peace.
A powerful indictment of war which calls upon the political and
religious forces of our country to give up preparedness programs and
to follow a policy that will make for the prevalence of peace. Never
has Dr. Gladden written with such fervor and inspiration; his book
goes straight to the heart of our national problem; without cant or
sentimentalism, he shows the course true Americanism must take.
“A wise and noble essay.”--_Independent._

“Not since Mercier, Archbishop of Malines, gave his now famous
pastoral letter to the world has more eloquence and truth been
compressed into so small a space.”
