What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements with one book review**—not political satire. The **Havone Case ad** uses military language ("standing at 'tention," "casualties") to market a cigarette case to servicemen, playing on WWI-era Army/Navy appeal. The cartoon shows a uniformed soldier, illustrating the target market. The **book review** discusses "With the Turks in Palestine" by Alexander Aaronsohn, praising its authentic WWI narrative without "literary taint"—a serious review, not satire. Other ads include Bell-Ans (indigestion remedy), American Express tropical cruises, and Frank N. Nathan diamonds. These reflect 1920s consumer culture. The small cartoon captioned "Bill: FILL THE BARS, AND CRAWL THROUGH WINDOW, I'LL BE WAITING.—JIM" appears to be a humorous domestic scene but lacks sufficient context to interpret its specific meaning or reference. This is fundamentally a **commercial page**, not a satirical one.

BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indig proves it. HAVONE OUR Army man, your Navy man, values the Havone Case because it keeps his cigarettes in well ordered ranks, white, clean, unmusséd and unfumbled, all the time. There are no “casualties” amon cigarettes carried in the HAVON —every one standing at ’tention and ready for action. The Havone Case springs open at a touch on the little cap, and it i filled as an ordinary case. The cigarettes are held so lightly that one may be taken with the lips if your hands are soiled. Havone Cigarettes Cases are made in heavy Silver-plate, in Solid Sterling and 14K Gold. The silver-plated cases at $5 are especially popular. If your dealer hasn't stocked up on the HAVONE, send us $5 and we will mail you one direct—either plain finished, or with mon- ogram spot, or one of the all-over patterns. At any rate, send us your name ona post-card for one of our handsome catalogues. HAVONE CORPORATION 21-23 Maiden Lane New York estion. One package 25c at all druggists.

What he finds is a makeshift; and the universality of this ending of the great search is imperfectly driven home. But so rich a canvas, so multitudinous a background, so living a presentation of the life about us, promise tremendously for the possibilities of the author's later work. H E is a new note in war books. It is called “ With the Turks in Pales- tine” (Houghton, Mifflin, $1.25) and pre- sents, without any trace of literary taint, professional or amateur, a narrative of personal experience so surcharged with tragic meaning and so free from any intent to make capital of the tale, that it takes on a combination of dig- nity and “ punch " not similarly discover- able otherwhere in the annals of the pres- ent war. The author, Alexander Aaron- sohn, is a native of Palestine whose chance presence at his father’s home at the outbreak of the war caused his en- rollment in the Turkish army and led to his participation in the events recorded.
