Part 9

By George Moore.

In these three volumes the author brings us into very close touch with many men and women who have helped to make the history of art and literature during the last decade. “It is a wonderful tour de force in literary art, with scarcely a parallel since Rousseau’s Confessions.”—_North American_, Philadelphia.

DRAMATIC WORKS

VOLUME V

BY GERHART HAUPTMANN

$1.50 NET WEIGHT 22 OUNCES

_Contains_: “_Schluck and Jau_;” “_And Pippa Dances_;” “_Charlemagne’s Hostage_.”

The second group of Hauptmann’s Symbolic and Legendary Dramas gains unity by a recognizable oneness of inspiration. The poet has become a seeker; he questions the nature and quality of various ultimate values; he abandons the field of the personal and individual life and traces for us, through the poetic fabric, the universal search for beauty, the problem of moral evil and the transitoriness of earthly glory. [A special circular, with contents of the preceding volumes, will be mailed upon request to the publisher.]

WISCONSIN PLAYS

$1.25 net; weight about 18 oz.

_Contains_: _“The Neighbors,” by Zona Gale_; _“In Hospital,” by Thomas H. Dickinson_; _“Glory of the Morning,” by William Ellery Leonard_.

A noteworthy manifestation of the interest in the stage and its literature is the work, both in writing of plays and their performance, of the gifted band organized as the Wisconsin Dramatic Society. The three one-act plays in this volume are fruits of the movement. Having met with success in the theatre, they are now offered to the creative reader to whose imagination dramatic literature is a stimulus.

These may be had from booksellers or from the publisher upon application, to whom a list of interesting publications of 1914 may be obtained.

Playing With Love and The Prologue to Anatol

“Anatol” has been spoken of as the comedy of Light Love, but “Liebelei” is its tragedy. If it is not Schnitzler’s ripest achievement, it is so far his finest play. Had he written nothing else, his fame would be secure, for there is among modern plays none with a deeper human note, none with less of false emotionalism. _12mo._

Daylight Reveals

To All Men Goodyear Tire Supremacy

Light on the tire question leads men inevitably to the Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tire.

It has led hundreds of thousands to them. Every month it leads many thousands more. This has gone on until Goodyears outsell any other tire that’s built.

Light—which means information—shows true quality in Goodyears. It is based on exclusive features. We spend fortunes on trouble-savers found in no other tire.

Rim-cutting is ended by one of them—by our exclusive No-Rim-Cut feature.

Blow-outs due to wrinkled fabric are ended by our “On-Air” cure. That exclusive process costs us $450,000 yearly.

Loose tread risk is reduced 60 per cent by a patent method we alone employ.

Punctures and skidding are combated, as in no other tire, by our tough, double-thick All-Weather tread.

For Comfort’s Sake

These things mean safety, sturdiness, less cost per mile, less trouble. They combat the greatest tire faults in the best ways known.

Remember them. Some day—for comfort’s sake if for nothing else—you are bound to adopt these tires.

Do it now. For winter tires, our All-Weather tread is sufficient inducement. Any dealer will supply you.

TWO NOTABLE NEW BOOKS

THE GREAT WAR

_The First Phase_

[FROM THE ASSASSINATION OF THE ARCHDUKE TO THE FALL OF ANTWERP.] WITH NEW MAPS

AT ALL BOOKSHOPS

$1.25 net

By FRANK H. SIMONDS of The New York Evening Sun

This is the first real history of what has actually happened since the great War began. There have been books a-plenty dealing with the underlying causes and ambitions, and with the Europe of July, 1914.

This book is not one of them; it deals specifically with the first phase of the War—from the murder of the Austrian Archduke to the fall of Antwerp. It traces the course of the different armies—English, German, French, Austrian, and Belgian—in language at once simple, clear, and vigorous; shows you what moves they have made and why they have made them; by what plan of campaign each hoped to achieve success and what the measure of that success has been. There are numerous simple maps specially prepared to make clearer the military operations.

Frank H. Simonds’ editorial comments on the War, as they have appeared in The New York Evening Sun, have attracted nation-wide attention. No one has better succeeded in showing people what the fighting is all about. Here is his book. The publisher hopes to follow it later with other volumes dealing with succeeding phases of the War.

DRIFT AND MASTERY

AN ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE CURRENT UNREST

AT ALL BOOKSHOPS

$1.50 net

By WALTER LIPPMANN Author of “A Preface to Politics”

This is a book at once comprehensive, shrewd, vigorous, searching, and interesting—with always a saving humor. In the course of sixteen chapters, Mr. Lippmann discusses practically all the more important problems of our political, social, and economic life, and the factors that have brought about that curious unrest everywhere so noticeable.

In one paper he shows that we are accustomed to methods in business that we would not for a moment tolerate in politics. In another he submits Woodrow Wilson to an analysis that seems to get under the man’s very skin. He analyzes proposed panaceas for our ills (as well as the ills themselves) and show why they won’t work. In “A Note on the Woman’s Movement” he explains with crystal clearness what it is all about.

But Mr. Lippmann is a great deal more than a brilliant iconoclast—he deals not only with the signs and cause of the present unrest, but with the order which is emerging from it.
