If it were the correct point of view, it would be better that we had never fired a single gun against Germany. THE END PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The following pages contain advertisements of a few of the Macmillan books on kindred subjects. _OUR NATIONAL PROBLEMS_ Each Sixty Cents The World War and the Road to Peace BY T.B. McLEOD With an Introduction by DR. S. PARKES CADMAN _Boards, 12mo_ This volume contains a judicial consideration of the pacifist positions and some sound advice to the men holding them. Many of the supporters of pacifism Dr. McLeod treats in short order, but he discusses at considerable length and with sympathy what may be called the humanitarian basis for the pacifist. One of the marked features of the volume is the clearness with which the author shows that Americans are all essentially pacifists--they hate war and are afraid of it, but they are undertaking this war because as Americans they feel that all that this country believes in is threatened by German aggression. An Appeal to Conscience BY KELLY MILLER Mr. Miller discusses the Negro problem in this book, stating just what it is and the general lines along which its solution must be worked out. His text is divided into five parts: Race Contact; Lawlessness; Segregation; Negro Patriotism and Devotion; and Righteousness. Wake Up, America! BY MARK SULLIVAN There is no more pressing problem of the hour than the shipping problem. Upon its solution depends, more than is commonly realized, the early termination of the war. Mr. Sullivan makes clear just what the present situation is, shows the critical condition in which we are placed and indicates the program which in his opinion should be followed if we would cope with the situation, successfully. He writes with fearless frankness on a subject in which every American cannot but be deeply interested at this time. War Bread BY ALONZO E. TAYLOR This is a clear statement of the vital importance of wheat conservation. Dr. Taylor states that it is his purpose to make clear just what must be accomplished in order that we may give to every member of the allied people his full share in our pooled food stuff at the lowest comparable cost and with the least labor. With this in view, he takes up these topics: _What the Allies Need_, _What We Possess_, _Why We are Limited in Wheat_, _Food Value of the Different Grains_, _Ways of Stretching Wheat_, and _Waste in Wheat_.
