Andrew Carnegie says: "I have read "WAR 

 AND WASTE" by Dr. Jordan with interest and 

 satisfaction. Viewed from his standpoint it is an 

 unanswerable argument against War." 



A Practical Book on Peace 



David Starr Jordan is one of the most eloquent advocates 

 of universal peace, his eloquence being particularly effective 

 because his arguments are so largely economic and practical. 



— New York Tribune. 



War and Waste 



By 

 DAVID STARR JORDAN 



One of the New York Times "One Hundred Best Books" 



A very full and able presentation of the case 

 against war. The facts are marshaled in an admir- 

 able and convincing manner, to which the author's 

 personal views concerning current international 

 problems lend added interest. — New York Times. 



Second Large Printing. Net $1.25 



Many people cannot get books. If there is no bookstore near yon we shall be glad to send books on 

 approval. We do not wish to interfere with the trade of the bookseller; we wish that every locality 

 in the United States had a good bookseller and that you would buy the books selected from him; our 

 suggestion is addressed to readers who have no convenient bookstore to go to.
