RECORDS VOLUHE ELEVEN 



INTRODUCTION. 



With the issue of Number forty, Volume 

 Ten. Records passed its first decadal mile 

 post, and with the issue of the present num- 

 ber begins a fresh journey into the future. 



During a portion of the past ten years 

 the world has seen some of the most remark- 

 able events in its history, events which, at 

 least on this'side of the Atlantic, could not 

 have been foreseen in their entirety by any 

 one. Who, when the first number of Rec- 

 ords was issued in 1908, would have ever 

 even dreamed of the occurrence of such 

 a momentus event as the great World War 

 which has resulted in such stupendous chang- 

 es? Although we must ever deplore the 

 great sacrifice by which these changes have 

 been accomplished, it is easy now to foresee 

 the srreat advancements which must follow.
