WHY EEMAM
With the American army at Sedan, the British tppfoaching 'Waterloo, and ..d
whole southern frontier of Germany opened to Allied armies through the surrender of
Austria, Germany was doomed when her representatives met Marshal Foch and Admiral
Wemyss to agree on an armistice. As The Evening (New York) remarks, "Foch,
the master, has played with skilled touch on the keys of a mighty organ from the North
Sea to. the Meuse; and in the fina), harmony the American Army has rung true."
Do not miss reading the leading news-features in THE LITERARY DIGEST for

Splendid Tvo- Page Colored Map in This Week's Number
This fine double-page' Map is printed in fvto colors
and presents the "Scene of the Western Battle Line.
It shows alj territory from London to the River Rhine
including all of Belgium, Luxemburg, Western Ger
many, and Northern France. The famous Hlnden
burg line as it existed before March 21, 1918. is indi
cated, also the line of furthest German advance this
J ear in the big drives of March, April, May, and
une. and the present line of battle where the Allied
armies are driving the Germans back, including the
terrain contiguous to Sedan where the American
doughboys have just won one of the m6st brilliant
victories of the war. . The Map is prepared with a
special view to the conclusion of peace with Germany
and shows all of Alsace-Lorraine, which Germany
undoubtedly must surrender to France. The great
fortress cities of the Rhine, which will no doubt be
occupied by Allied garrisons as guarantees that Ger
many will pay for the damage she has dona in tha
war. are also clearly shown. Practically all of the
towns that are being liberated by the victorious Allies'
advance and which are mentioned from day to day in
the press dispatches are clearly visualized,. This Map
Is so valuable as to be well worthy of preservation
' for present and future consultation.
