PREFACE

In the present volume-the thirteenth of the new series which began in 1907, and the eighteenth since the work was originally undertaken in 1898 the following articles may be mentioned as among those most likely to be useful for reference in discussions arising during the coming year: WAR OF THE NATIONS; WAR FINANCE; FRANCE; GREAT BRITAIN; GERMANY; RUSSIA; SOCIALISM; INDUSTRIAL RECONSTRUCTION; the groups of articles dealing with labor subjects, agriculture, industries, and applied science, including CHEMISTRY, INDUSTRIAL; AERONAUTICS; SHIPPING; SHIPBUILDING; topics in ENGINEERING; MILITARY PROGRESS; NAVAL PROGRESS, etc. The discussion of controverted questions arising from the Treaty will be found under WAR OF THE NATIONS and in the articles on the countries concerned, along with summaries of the treaties, and other important documents and the text of the Covenant. News throughout the year being wholly at the mercy of propagandism, the facts in regard to controverted international topics were not accessible, and it was necessary to give the opposing versions at some length. The articles on Literature seem to indicate that the war did not diminish the fertility of authors, and in the case of GERMAN LITERATURE, that it did not seriously alter their point of view. The political sections of the article on the UNITED STATES will be found convenient for reference in the Presidential campaign. The antecedents of the present Irish situation are given under the title of The Irish Question in the article on GREAT BRITAIN.
