Read 
In the pages of this book, written months ago, the author predicts the present European conflict, 
the remarkable chapter on THE GERMAN WAR MACHINE. 
Dr. Graves, called by the London Times, “The most dangerous spy of the century, ’’ was for many years 
a secret agent of the Kaiser, under direct authority of Count von Wedel, privy councilor. With characteristic 
ruthlessness he exposes the details of his secret missions that have had a startling influence on the present 
war, and reveals for the first time the operations of Germany’s secret diplomacy.

THE LOVE LETTERS OF 
JULIETTE DROUET to VICTOR HUGO 
THE RECORD OF A GREAT DEVOTION 
Edited hy Louis Gimbaud. Translated by Theodora Davidson 
The letters of Juliette Drouet to Victor Hugo are not 
ordinary love missives that record daily the ardent sent¬ 
iments of this beautiful princess of the theatre for the 
greatest lyric poet of France. By force of a dominant will 
he cloistered this beautiful girl in a shabby apartment, and 
when she complained of ennui, told her to write everything 
that caused her heart to beat. This is the originating idea 
of the letters out of some twenty thousand of which the 
editor has selected the most witty and eloquent.

THE 
SUBTERRANEAN BROTHERHOOD 
By JULIAN HAWTHORNE 
Official investigations generally accomplish nothing; the

This book is a Wonderfully vivid picture of life inside the 
walls of a prison, and a serious attempt to reveal the in¬ 
sidious influences which surround the convicts and how 
little incentive they have for reform.
