August 17, 1916 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on the book "What Is Coming? A European Forecast," by H.G. Wells. Wells, reportedly, curbs his wilder fancies and makes a Serious effort to be realistic in this latest prophetical work. For the most part, it is an analysis of existing conditions on the European stage, with comparatively cautious conjectures at the direction that the forces there engaged will take within the next decade. He explored certain aspects of the war which have shocked, embittered, and slightly sobered him. But, on the whole, he claims that the war has strengthened his cheerful self-confidence.
