G. P. Putnam's Sons New York London * * * * * Halt! Who's There? By the Author of "Aunt Sarah and the War" _75 cents net. Postage additional_ A volume comparable to _Aunt Sarah and the War_ from the pen of the author of that book. The scene is laid in a hospital, but the cases recorded are those of men who, though wounded in body, are spiritually whole. It is the ideals of England,--the essential England that, when the hour strikes, is all courage--that manifest themselves throughout. And be it said that it is an epitome not only of the spirit of England but of the United Kingdom, with the emphasis on the united. There is a fine strain of kindness and broad sympathy running through the book, and much of poignancy in the personal dramas glimpsed through its pages. G. P. Putnam's Sons New York London * * * * * A TALL SHIP ON OTHER NAVAL OCCASIONS BY BARTIMEUS _12 deg. PICTURE WRAPPER. $1.00_ Tales descriptive of life in the British Navy under stress of war-time conditions--the life of the officers' mess, and the stoke-hole--the grime as well as the glory. Vivid pictures of the ache of parting, of the strain of long waiting for the enemy, of sinking ships and struggles in the waves--and also of the bright side that not even war can extinguish. G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS NEW YORK LONDON * * * * * News from Somewhere By James Milne Author of "The Romance of a Pro-Consul," etc. _12 deg. $1.50 net. Frontispiece_ "Many things seen, heard, and thought during travels at home, on sea and oversea, in the war-time which we call 'Armageddon.' It is a chronicle of war impressions gathered during travel, near and far, on its edges red and jagged." "This indeed is a book of the war but it is not like the others. There is in it nothing that is harsh, cruel, ugly, such as there must be in nearly every other volume that is wrought about Armageddon. There is sadness in it but it is a sweet sadness. There is an immensity of pathos. There is much that is beautiful. And all of it is true."--_The Daily Telegraph._ "Great in spirit ... a book that will surely outlive the war."--_The Graphic._ G. P.
