Introductory material

We wish to call our subscribers' attention to our new binders for The Great Round World. During the past year we have received many requests for missing numbers, also suggestions that some sort of cover or holder should be supplied, in order that numbers might be kept together, constant reference being made to back numbers, the loss of one causing much inconvenience. After giving the matter careful study, we have at last succeeded in making a handy case, in which the numbers as issued may be inserted. This case is strongly bound in cloth, with a handsome design on back and sides; the copies of The Great Round World can be inserted without mutilating them in any way, and be kept clean and in condition for binding.

Editor Of the Great Round World.

I am very much interested in the war, and would like to do something for my country. Could you suggest something that a little girl could do?

Respectfully yours, Alma D.

Other boys and girls are gathering illustrated papers, periodicals, and books to be forwarded to the soldiers and sailors. You can help in this way.

Editor of the Great Round World.

In your issue of April 21st, you speak of the Russian officer Milutine having said that no Christian had ever succeeded in entering and leaving Mecca before his doing so. Sir Richard Burton distinctly states that he was the first man ever to accomplish this feat, as you will see by his book. Who is correct?

Very truly yours, J. T.

If you read the account again, you will see that Milutine is quoted as having said that he had heard that no Christian had previously gone to Mecca and returned safely. It is true that Burton did precede Milutine. Editor.
