WFV • ,v„ 1,-". • ? • * I Our Army and Navy, Not until the close of the Spanish- American war, which proved such a brilliant success for our Army and Na­ vy, did foreign powers appreciate the strength and stability of our engines of war. Not only did foreign countries watch the movements of our troops and ships with amusement, but our own people, right here at home, were sur­ prised to find that the United States postered an army and navy of such strength and proportions. In one of the latest books to appear, Entitled "The United States Army jmd iNavy, 1770-1899," a grapic description V>f the operations of both branches of the service, from their inception to the close of the late "war, is to be found, It is a beautiful art edition, and no book sb complete, both from a literary and ar­ tistic point of view, has ever been pub­ lished. The text is by eminent authorities in both branches, and was compiled after a careful research of all government re­ cords. The illustrations and there are 43 of them, full-page size, are the finest specimens of art ever placed in a book. The volume is published by the Wer­ ner Company, of Akron, Ohio, who are making a special offer to introduce it to ti e reading public. In another part of this issue will be found a more detailed description of the book and how it can be secured. tt f t* , ' *' '» A. * «... +£J£ i . < ', ' *&• PHIL 8.
