Excerpt from Harper's Pictorial Library of the World War, Vol. 7 of 12 IT is indeed fitting, that among the records of the war, space should be found for War Relief Work. One of the outstanding facts in the war just finished with so much glory and credit to our beloved America, was the spontaneous and universal support given the Government by men and women of all creeds, classes and conditions. In the Five Liberty Loan Appeals, the amount asked for was oversubscribed. In the purchase of War Savings Stamps, everyone, the poor as well as the rich, displayed an unparalleled willingness to lend their aid to the Government. In responding to the appeals of the seven organizations approved by the Government to look after the welfare of both soldiers and Civilians, our people dis played a generosity unequaled in the history of humanity. Thus were Americans at large brought into intimate contact with the sufferers of the war-ridden countries, so that, in the words of the Apostle St. Paul, their charity is spoken of throughout the whole world. This uprush of sympathy and eagerness to help the sufferers Of the war, whether soldier or civilian, Gentile or Jew, forms one of the brightest pages in the history of the World War.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Harper's Pictorial Library of the World War, Vol. 9 of 12: War Makers and Peace Makers; Character Studies of the Leading Actors in the Conflict The great war was a conflict of ideas. Back of the men and munitions, the armies and navies of the Allies and of the Central Powers, there were the directing and controlling personalities who won and lost for their causes. It was a contest of wits, mind challenging mind, will against will. Natural resources and equipment were essential, but nevertheless second ary to the wise intelligence capable of using them so as to serve its cleverly conceived purposes, and sustained in every crisis by a spirit which, conscious of the power and promise of its cause, never lost faith in its will to conquer. Therefore it is peculiarly fitting that the American people, particularly the youth of the coming generation, should have at hand a dependable record of the lives and character of those conspicuous figures whose names will be forever intimately associated with this war which has shaken the very foundations of the world, and, as we confidently believe, marks the beginning of a new heaven and a new earth. The brief biographies of these men are a revelation of their character, their temperament, their struggle, of their defeats and their victories, their perseverance in the preliminary tests of the temper of their spirits all preparatory to the great crises, in which they proved their power, as leaders of their people and saviors of the world's civilization. To understand fully the significance of the lives of the victors, it is necessary to recognize by contrast also the defects and shortcomings of their foes. Consequently, a portion of this volume is given to an account of the personality of those who sought the destruction of the world that they might build it anew in all the arrogance of their pride, and in cruel contempt of the rights and liberties of their fellow-men. A biographical sketch does not explain a great man. Is he ever ade quately explained? It does serve, however, to illuminate his personality and powers, by bringing him out of the shadow, and giving to a figure vague and indefinite a concrete setting distinctly focused and clearly de fined. Biography gives life to a name, arousing our interests and sympa thies, by presenting to us something which has the true ring of reality. From time to time we see human nature in its lowest phases, and it is good for us to come into intimate contact with that other phase which appears as the highest and best expression of human endeavor and achievement. Our national heroes become symbols for us of the supreme values in life. They illustrate and embody in their own persons a set of ideas which express the traditions and aspirations by which we as a people must live or perish.
