HOW THE SPIRIT OP THE GEOGRAPHIC AFFECTS THE SPIRITS OF THE 



WOUNDED SOLDIER 



A post-card greeting received from one of the American boys who is being nursed back 

 to health and usefulness in one of the Geographic wards in American Military Hospital, 

 No. I, at Neuilly, a suburb of Paris. 



The need for these splendid wards will 

 not cease for many, many months, and 

 it is hoped that the opportunity pre- 

 sented the membership for taking per- 

 sonal part in the operation and upkeep 



of the Geographic Wards will be em- 

 braced, especially since every dollar sub- 

 scribed is applied directly, there being no 

 salaries or overhead expenses of handling 

 the fund. 



"THE RACES OF EUROPE" NUMBER 



THE next number of The Geo- 

 graphic will be devoted to "The 

 Races of Europe," by Edwin A. 

 Grosvenor, LX. D. This will be one of 

 the most important monographs ever 

 issued by the National Geographic So- 

 ciety, because the complexities of the 

 race problem in Europe, which must be 

 surveyed and settled, are of more vital in- 

 terest to the world today than ever before 

 in human history. 



It is impossible to appreciate the variety 

 and the seriousness of the racial ques- 

 tions now being discussed by peoples 

 everywhere without a clear idea of racial 

 origins, racial characteristics, and racial 



boundaries as distinct from political 

 boundaries. 



Dr. Grosvenor's authoritative and at 

 the same time entertaining and dramatic 

 story of the "Races of Europe" will prove 

 of absorbing interest to the casual reader 

 and of invaluable assistance to the stu- 

 dent of European conditions. 



It will be accompanied by numerous 

 striking illustrations, and as a supple r 

 ment there will be issued with the maga- 

 zine a remarkable map, printed in 19 

 colors, which will prove a key and guide 

 not only to the accompanying text, but to 

 the day-to-day news from across the At- 

 lantic.
