ASIA 
The American Magazine on the Orient 
this story will be told for the first time. It will be a series of 
articles, vividly presenting a career as romantic as that of a 
Clive or a Stanley, by 
MR. LOWELL THOMAS, War Correspondent, 
Traveler, Explorer, Associate Editor of ASIA 
who lived with Lawrence on the 
Arabian sands during the campaign, 
and knows him in action as no 
American does. 
ASIA, richly illustrated, is the 
only general magazine published, 
treating exclusively of Oriental mat¬ 
ters. It is as instructive as it is 
entertaining. 
ASIA fills the need for correct 
knowledge about the countries and 
peoples of the Orient. The high re¬ 
sponsibility we now hold in our new 
international position brings us into 
close diplomatic and trade relations 
with every part of the world. 
China’s affairs are our affairs— 
Japan’s interests are our interests- 
Near Eastern matters are our con¬ 
cern. No longer can we stand aloof. 
And, therefore, we must know more 
about Asia. 
ASIA, the magazine, brings the 
Orient to you. Not as dry as dust 
discussion, but through articles con¬ 
tributed by authorities, illustrated 
with remarkable photographs and re¬ 
productions of paintings. Each issue 
contains an average of ten articles, 
and is profusely illustrated with 
from fifty to sixty illustrations.
