can no longer be avoided. The reason for saying this is that, if Turkey is
defeated, the Ottoman Empire will fall to pieces, and all the Powers may
join in one free fight for a share of the plunder.

LETTERS FROM OUR FRIENDS.


From Monterey, Cal., come the two following letters about books:

DEAR EDITOR:

I thought that I should take much pleasure in writing to THE
GREAT ROUND WORLD.

I have been reading your magazines for several months, and I
greatly enjoy them.

Among the books that I like to read are those of the Stories of
the Ancient Greeks, but for current events I greatly prefer
THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.

Ever your reader,
ROSA B.
MONTEREY, CAL.
