This book has been excluded from several public libraries. This book has been excluded from Fort Myer, Virginia (near Washington). A dozen copies circulated in Fort Snelling (near Minneapolis, Minn.) produced remarkable results alarming to the officers in command. Distinguished officers of the Army have been overheard _cursing this book bitterly_—so the author has been informed by a well-known Army officer in New York City. =The power of this book has been admitted. (See following pages.) You can help circulate this book very, very easily. Thus:= A large, handsome, two-color circular with _full information relative to the book, and_ =twenty-five facts that challenge and create discussion of the War Department=, will be sent =free= to any address furnished to the publisher. _A post card request is sufficient._ Address: =Publisher of WAR—WHAT FOR?= Box 293, West La Fayette, Ohio. Care of J. M. K. TWO LETTERS “1426 Hoyt Ave., Everett, Washington, April 21, 1911. “Publisher of WAR—WHAT FOR? West La Fayette, Ohio. “DEAR SIR: Enclosed find $8.40 for which send me 12 copies of WAR—WHAT FOR? Every one who tastes the book buys it if he can, and those who have not the price to buy it outright, rent it at a small sum per week. One person told me that he knew of six boys that were going to enlist in the Army, but after reading WAR—WHAT FOR? they had all the war they wanted without getting into the Army. So let us keep up the good work of spreading the book wherever we can. “Yours for no more war, (Signed) “MRS. HELEN ROEDER.” =Why should a boy enlist, when even the Commander-in-Chief publically sneers at those who are already in the Army? (See pages 10 and 191–199 of this book.)= “Smith Building, Auburn, New York, May 25, 1911. “DEAR MR. KIRKPATRICK: “I know you will be more than gratified to hear that your invaluable book, WAR—WHAT FOR? is fulfilling its mission among the farmers in this section. “Over four months ago a farmer called and asked me if I had anything to place in the hands of a boy which would ‘take the Army Bug out of his head.’ The boy was about to join the Regular Army. His mother and father had appealed to him—had tried to talk the idea out of the boy’s mind. “On my table was a copy of WAR—WHAT FOR? I said, ‘Here is a book that will sterilize the love for murder instinct.’ A week later he called and informed me that the boy had read the book and now it is ‘_No Army for me!_’ “Both parents also read the book. It has been going the rounds among the farmers ever since. Each week Mr. Marquis calls and asks to extend the loan of your book. He says that some farmers stay up all night reading its contents. Parents are thanking Marquis, with tears in their eyes, for placing the book in their hands.
