COURT MEMOIRS 1914-6
Never was a book so opportune. It tells of Court, Political, and Social life in Petrograd during the years of the war, of the private and official life of Nicholas II and his family, of German influence and intrigue.
The importance of the book may be gathered from the fact that a representative of the publishers journeyed to Petrograd and conferred with the anonymous author, and the manuscript was sent to this country by special courier.
WHY HAS RUSSIA REVOLTED?
WHY HAS THE CZAR ABDICATED?
WHY HAS GERMAN INFLUENCE FAILED?
To know these things you must read the above book of the hour.

Sir George Younghusband’s new book is full of good stories and amusing experiences in four continents. He has encountered many famous men and women and has interesting things to say or anecdotes to tell about them. Among the long list are King Edward VII, King George V and Queen Mary, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, the Duke of Cambridge, Admiral Dewey (of Manila fame), Lord Roberts, Lord Kitchener, Lord Methuen, Lord William Beresford, Sir William Robertson, Sir Douglas Haig, Sir Robert Baden-Powell, Sir Edward Chichester and the ubiquitous Kaiser, who once wept because he was not an Englishman! Sir George also tells many interesting things about native ways and customs, dogs and horses, in short of the thousand and one things that come the way of a very observant man who has lived a life full of incident and adventure, and who is also gifted with a clever pen.
