OVER 7,000 histories of the Civil War and not one so good as
this. Thousands upon thousands of sketches and paintings have
been made to illustrate these 7,000 histories, yet they give no
reflection of the war so vivid, so accurate so real, so living, as do the
photographs in this one history. '
Previous accounts of the Civil War are full of contradictions, dis
agreements. For no matter how fair-minded a man may be, his views
are liable to personal or party color. The most keen-witted and
observant of men is apt to overlook something; the most reliable
. memory is apt to forget something. But the camera is nothing but
fair; it overlooks nothing, and it cannot forget.
The discovery of the hundreds of Brady War Photographs,
hidden for many years in an old New York attic, now reproduced
and distributed by this paper, has brought to the world a mighty
message of the truth of that great conflict between the Blue and
the Gray. a .
These thrilling pictures tell more clearly than a whole library
of statistical works, the dangers and uncertainties from which our
nation was saved by the fight to a finish in '65 and you owe it
to yourself and to your children to secure every 6ne of the 16
Sections of these Long-Lost

If you want to go clear through the Civil ar , from scene to scene
and behold everything that transpired in the first and last great war that
was ever caught by the camera, lose no time but subscribe for this
wonderful work at once. ' " r ' . :
These pictures are the only war-time photographs which any government ever
allowed to be taken. The war correspondent today has become virtually a war pris
oner. Suspected as a possible spy, he is kept away from headquarters, from the
firing line, from any scene that might betray the losses suffered, the location of forts,
the extent of earthworks. ' , ,
But in '61, Brady and his daring assistants penetrated to the very storm centers.
There was no "censor." no orders restricting photographers, no suspicion fifty years
aeo Why should there be? The camera was thought a toy. Photo-engraviJg had
not been dreamed of. So la these 26 Sections of "The Civil War Through the
Camera" you see
' Thfe-' Oiily; Cbreat llrV ar; Ever
Photographed
and the only one It will always remain. The Civil War. was also the last grand
scale fighting that was picturesque, personal, hand-to-hand.- Think of it! In '61 no
general firing was done beyond 300 yards.. Brady and his followers did what will
never be done again. They crept close to the trenches and the earthworks and
photographed a great war In progress.
Modern field guns are deadly at three miles often while the cannoneers are
entirely out of sight. But In "The Civil War Through the Camera is picture after
picture taken while the enemy was not a mile away cannoneers actually working
their guns under fire, in sight of ramparts and buildings sheltering Tiostile forces.
Each section of this wonderful photographic history is complete as a novel and
the full set of sixteen form a history of the war such as has never before been published.
Beginning with the opening gun of the great war, these Sixteen sections pass on

-r While the United state has assumed
'responsibility for Cuba before the dvl
Ht4 world, tbe Immediate object of this
fovemmenfs activities in the Wand re
public just now is the protection of
(AMrlcan-owned properties, amounting
in value to something: like 1200,000,000.'
A battle-ship fleet with much more hit.
ting, power --than was possessed by the
entire naval forces stationed oft the
Cuban , coast in the . war with Spain, is
now in Cuban waters for the purpose of
affording protection for American prop
erty. More than a thousand United
States marines are encamped on Cuban
soil guarding American property. Half
a score of auxiliary naval vessels are
bujy on tbe same errand, and thousands
of additional marines and blue jackets are
ready to join their comrades already
acting as guards. Behind this great
force Is the rest of the Atlantic battle
ship fleet, ready to sail for Cuba on a
few hours' notice,, while an expeditionary
force of soldiers has been designated by
the army tor possible service in Cuba.
Accurate estimates of the total value
of American Interests in Cuba are diffi
cult It Is believed that the American
Investments of all classes in Cuba today
aggregate from $180,000,000 to $200,000,000.
This is probably one-third of the total
amount of foreign capital ' invested in
Cuba. Spanish holdings In Cuba are
larger than the American Investments,
while there is a great deal of British.
French and German money invested
there.
A recent estimate of American inter
ests In Cuba made the following classi
fication of investments:
Railways and tramways: t40.0no.ono
eugu and tgbKW.MMHHMUM. ,0W,0i
Rural and city projects.......... 25,000,000
Minor proauct T.ooo.OOO
Commercial and manufactures., t.000,000
Banks 6,000,000
Steamships and mortgages...... 7,000,000
Mines 5.000,000
It is difficult to estimate many of
these investments. For example. ' it
would he next to Impossible to trace
out the capital listed as being invested
in banks, mortgages and the like. Loans,
bonds, purchases and such forms of in
vestments are likely to lose themselves
in the great mase of commerce, industry
and finance. Tet the value of invest
ments of this sort rests, even more than
mere tangible forms, upon 1 the sta
bility and solvency of the government
and themaintenance of law and order.
American capital owns' the electric
railway systems of Cuba, the telephone
system and most of the electric light
ing plants. These holdings are prin
cipally in Havana, and have been little
menaced in the present troubled state-of
affairs in Cuba.
Similarly the great tobacco companies,
the cigar and cigarette factories, require
practically no attention from either the
United States government or that of
Cuba. They are located principally in
the cities, and the tobacco growing dis
tricts have not yet been affected by the
negro rebellion. New Tork Sun.
