S e Great European War in AM NO HISTORY OR VOLUMES ON THE WAR will ever cover this vast subject a it is done in THE AMERICANA. It is not their aim, purpose or intention. The following list of subject-headings will serve to convey a slight indication of the all-embracing scope of this Encyclopedia. It has never been equaled. From no other source could the reader gather so complete, dispassionate and unbiased a history of the great conflict and the thou.and-and-one side issues it has raised. The task of collecting the materials involved a labor of years; the searching through thou sand of newspapers in different languages, and struggling through a bewildering avalanche of published boohs, reports and state documents. This laborious process has been performed for the reader by the editorial staff of THE AMERICANA and by Special Contributors of recognized authority. They have extracted the quintessence out of the enormous, overwhelming mass of literature evoked by the war, and now present the gist and kernel of the whole, shorn of all irrelevancies and carefully sifted from the one-sided controversial chaff. In short, THE AMERICANA treatment represents a whole library of war books such as no individual could hope to possess,, or even to read in a lifetime; and the information is accurate and trustworthy. History of the War The National Statements Under this head will be found in a connected form the "na tional case" presented, setting forth the grounds upon which the respective countries entered the war. These are now matters of history, and the Nvarjous "claims," "statements" and "rea sons" are reproduced without prgument, cersure or justifica tion, in ordr th?t the reader may father esch ration's standpoint for entering the conflict.

The great war has brought to the front the eminent men of all nations; many of them new to fame, but whose names have now become household words.
