The author has been informed from several sources that the suppression of this book has been seriously considered.
This book has been excluded from several public libraries. This book has been excluded from Fort Myer, Virginia (near Washington). A dozen copies circulated in Fort Snelling (near Minneapolis, Minn.) produced remarkable results alarming to the officers in command. Distinguished officers of the Army have been overheard cursing this book bitterly—so the author has been informed by a well-known Army officer in New York City.
The power of this book has been admitted. (See following pages.) You can help circulate this book very, very easily. Thus:
A large, handsome, two-color circular with full information relative to the book, and twenty-five facts that challenge and create discussion of the War Department, will be sent free to any address furnished to the publisher. A post card request is sufficient. Address:

“Publisher of WAR—WHAT FOR? West La Fayette, Ohio.
“Dear Sir: Enclosed find $8.40 for which send me 12 copies of WAR—WHAT FOR? Every one who tastes the book buys it if he can, and those who have not the price to buy it outright, rent it at a small sum per week. One person told me that he knew of six boys that were going to enlist in the Army, but after reading WAR—WHAT FOR? they had all the war they wanted without getting into the Army. So let us keep up the good work of spreading the book wherever we can.
