President Coolidge said of him: "Such a life as his should be held up as a model to all generations."

little thinking that his letters would be eagerly read by the whole world

WHILE England slept, even under the shadow of the Z

pelins, a tall, gaunt figure in a dressing gown sat at bedroom table, into the small hours, and wrote vivid pen tures of what he saw from his international watch tower. man was Walter H. Page, our wartime Ambassador to Gr Britain. He wrote to President Wilson, Colonel House and oth intimate friends and relatives.

"I shall always wonder but never find out what influence had in driving the President over," he wrote after the stream 2,000,000 men of the A. E. F. had begun to reach the front. And President Wilson, from this side of the water, wrote Pa "Your letters are a lamp to my feet."

PAGE'S position was unique in all history the central, "Page's letters will be quoted by historians for all the

pivotal figure of the Great War. He was the lone advance scout of the greatest army we have ever raised - the contact point with the battle of nations. And this man's whole life had been a training in observation and the penning of what he observed. Is it any wonder then, that Bliss Perry said,

We feel that readers of THE WORLD'S WORK, { magazine that Walter Page founded and edited, should a special opportunity to secure these immortal letters; so have printed a special edition for that purpose.

LIVINGAGE

BRINGS THE WORLD TO AMERICA

A WEEK OF THE WORLD

OUR MONTHLY ISSUE

THIS week the Living Age undertakes a new service for its subscribers. Our regular weekly issues, prepared in the press of keeping pace with current world-affairs as recorded in two hundred or more foreign publications, afford less opportunity than we should like to give our readers larger and more leisurely surveys of art and thought abroad. Therefore we plan to expand one number each month to receive longer articles of the type that justify keeping a magazine on the table after the immediate topics of the day are exhausted.

FRANCE AND THE DAWES REPORT

THE Paris correspondent of Journal de Genève reports that France is divided into three camps with regard to the Dawes Report. One party, which is preoccupied primarily with domestic policies and approves everything the present Cabinet does with its eyes shut, is inclined to treat any criticism of Herriot's proposal as blasphemy. The principal Paris press organs of this

party are L'Ere Nouvelle, Quotidien, and Paris-Soir.

The group at the opposite extreme, whose principal spokesmen are Pertinax M. Géraud-in L'Echo de Paris, M. Jacques Bainville in L'Action Française and La Liberté, and M. Buré in L'Eclair, takes the position that Poincaré accepted the Report provisionally when he was in power, and more or less under duress, but always with the assumption that this committal did not limit the French Government in prescribing the way the terms of the Report should be applied. Between these extremes stands the great body of French citizens, who believe that the Dawes Report affords the only chance there is of obtaining anything for Reparations, that an agreement must be reached in general conformity with that plan, and that the country is deluding itself if it expects to obtain any real advantage from remaining in the Ruhr. Many of Poincaré's former supporters now hold this view.

Jean Herbette, foreign editor of Le Temps, and 'probably the most quoted journalist in the world,' says Copyright 1924, by the Living Age Co.
