About this issue
This index to Volume LXII–LXIII documents a publication dominated by World War I content. Special articles address military and political subjects: profiles of war leaders (Kaiser, Cadorna, Painlevé, Roosevelt), industrial mobilization (Frank A. Scott's War Industries Board), naval and military operations (British shipbuilding on the Clyde, U.S. Army and Navy), and geopolitical matters (Palestine's future, Poland's status, Latin America's position). Additional articles cover home-front concerns: pensions for soldiers, rehabilitation of the disabled, and the wool industry. Four serial novels appear: A Candle in the Wind by Mary Imlay Taylor; The Owner of the Lazy D by William Patterson White (a western); The Queen of Psalissa by George A. Birmingham; and The War Cache by W. Douglas Newton. Short stories by authors including William Stayens McNutt and James Hay Jr. range from war-themed to domestic narratives. Departments include editorial commentary, light verse, poetry, theater criticism, and book reviews.
