HAIL, COLUMBIA! 
THE advent of America into the war has been hailed 
with enthusiasm, but even now the far-reaching conse- 
quences that this event portends are not fully realised. To 
show more clearly the immense possibilities in America's 
action, and to bring still closer together by mutual under- 
standing the people of this country and those of the United 
States, a special number of LAND & WATER will be 
published on Thursday, June 7th. 
Among the special features of this American Number will 
be: "The Genius of Raemaekers," by Theodore 
Roosevelt; "America's Military Effort," by Frank H. 
Symonds, the well-known Associate Editor of the "New 
York Tribune"; "The Nelson Touch," by Rearr Admiral 
Bradley A. Fiske, U.S.N. ; "American and British De- 
mocracy," by L. P. Jacks; "Our Tone in Transatlantic 
Discussion," by G. K. Chesterton; "Organising America's 
Food Supply," by Herbert 
Hoover; "American Humour," 
by J. C. Squire; A Poem by 
Henry van Dyke; "What the 
United States proposes to do in 
the Air," by Henry Woodhouse,a 
leading authority on Aeronautics 
in the States ; and the usual 
Military and Naval articles by 
Hilaire Belloc^and Arthur Pollen. 
These together with a Double 
Page Cartoon, by Raemaekers, 
2:0 to make what will be one 
of the most interesting and 
important special numbers that 
"Land & Water" has yet issued.
