  12°. $1.35 Perhaps the most important work of imagination yet written under the influence of the war. A French military hospital is the scene of the story, and its chief characters are a famous Paris surgeon and a young wounded officer, whose fervent Catholic piety is in sharp contrast with the doctor’s philosophic materialism. Death threatens both, and their opposing theories with regard to it are displayed in their relation to a drama of the most intense human passion. G. P. Putnam’s Sons

A TALL SHIP
ON OTHER NAVAL OCCASIONS
BY BARTIMEUS
12°. 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.

“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.
