Explanation Words and figures inclosed in brackets [] are given for information, but do not appear on the title-pages of the publications catalogued. When size is not given octavo is to be understood. Size of maps is measured from outer edge of border, excluding margin. The dates, including day, month, and year, given with Senate and House documents and reports, are the dates on which they were ordered to be printed. Usually the printing promptly follows the ordering, but various causes sometimes make delays. When Congress and session are not given with the numbers of Senate and House documents and reports, 63d Con- gress, 2d session, is to be understood. 2 Sales of gover nment publi catio ns The Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., is authorized to sell at cost of paper and printing any United States public document in his charge, the distribution of which is not otherwise provided for. Publications can not be supplied free to Individuals nor forwarded in advance of payment. Publications entered in this catalogue that are for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, are indicated by a star (♦) preceding the price. A dagger (t) indicates that application should be made to the Department, Bureau, or Division issuing the document. A double dagger (t) indicates that the docu- ment is not obtainable. Whenever additional information concerning the method of procuring a document seems necessary it will be found under the name of the Bureau by which it was published. The Senate and House docu- ments and reports are issued in limited editions and, unless otherwise indicated, may be obtained only through Members of Congress. In ordering a publication from the Superintendent of Documents, give (if known) the name of the publishing Department, Bureau, or Division, and the title of the publication. If the publication is numbered, give the number also. Every such particular assists in quick identification. Do not order by the Library of Congress card number. The accumulation of publications in this Office amounts to several millions, of which over a million are assorted, forming the sales stock. Many rare books are included, but under the law all must be sold “at cost,” regardless of their age or scarcity. Many of the books have been in stock some time and are apt to be shop-worn. In filling orders the best copy available is sent. A gen- eral price-list of public documents is not available, but lists on special subjects will be furnished on application. MONTHLY CATALOGUE DISTRIBUTION The Monthly catalogue is sent to each Senator, Representative, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, and officer in Congress, to designated depositories and State and Territorial libraries, to substantially all Government authors, and -to as many school, college, and public libraries as the limited edition will supply. Subscription price to individuals, $1.10 a year, including index. Back num- bers can not be supplied. Notify the Superintendent of Documents of any change of address. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CARDS Numbers to be used in ordering the L. C. catalogue cards will be found at the end of the titles of the more important monographic documents. The figure following the card number (separated from it by a slanting line) indi- cates the number of cards required for entries suggested (title entry not included) on the cards. The price of the cards is 2c. for the first card and Ac. for each additional card for the same title ordered at the same time. Remit- tances for the L. C. catalogue cards should be made to the Librarian of Congress. They can not be furnished by the Superintendent of Documents. 3 4 July , 1914 INDEX An Index to the Monthly catalogue is issued at the end of the flscal year. This contains index entries for all the numbers issued from July to June, and can be bound with the numbers as an index to the volume. Persons desiring to bind the catalogue at the end of the year should be careful to retain the numbers received monthly, as duplicate numbers can not be supplied. HOW TO REMIT Remittances for the documents marked with a star *() should be made to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C.. by postal money order, express order, or New York draft. Currency if sent will be at sender’s risk. Postage stamps, foreign money, and defaced or smooth coins are not acceptable. No charge is made for postage on documents forwarded to points in the United States, Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, Samoa, or to Canada, Cuba, Mexico, or Shanghai. To other countries the regular rate of postage is charged, and remittances must cover such postage. The issue of coupons redeemable in public documents by the Superintendent of Documents has been discontinued. Holders of coupons are requested to re- turn the same for redemption. Note s of General Intere st The annual list of Radio stations of the United States for July, 1914, is in press. It contains, in addition to the data concerning Government, commercial, and special stations, a list of the amateur radio (wireless) stations of the United States. Corrections for the amateur list will not be given in the quar- terly statements by which the annual list will be supplemented during the present fiscal year. As information concerning the amateur stations is of no particular value to the Navigation Bureau, printing it once a year, as a matter of general information and convenience, is thought to be sufficient. The tangible rewards of teaching, a detailed statement of salaries paid to the several classes of teachers and school officers, is the title of Bulletin 16, series of 1914, Education Bureau.

  • When Diplomats Fail: Aostrian and Rossian Reporting from Belgrade, 1914

    When Diplomats Fail: Aostrian and Rossian Reporting from Belgrade, 1914

    WHEN DIPLOMATS FAIL: AOSTRIAN AND ROSSIAN REPORTING FROM BELGRADE, 1914 Barbara Jelavich The mountain of books written on the origins of the First World War have produced no agreement on the basic causes of this European tragedy. Their division of opinion reflects the situation that existed in June and July 1914, when the principal statesmen involved judged the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Habsburg throne, and its consequences from radically different perspectives. Their basic misunderstanding of the interests and viewpoints 'of the opposing sides contributed strongly to the initiation of hostilities. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of diplomatic reporting, particularly in the century before 1914 when ambassadors were men of influence and when their dispatches were read by those who made the final decisions in foreign policy. European diplomats often held strong opinions and were sometimes influenced by passions and. prejudices, but nevertheless throughout the century their activities contributed to assuring that this period would, with obvious exceptions, be an era of peace in continental affairs. In major crises the crucial decisions are always made by a very limited number of people no matter what the political system. Usually a head of state -- whether king, emperor, dictator, or president, together with those whom he chooses to consult, or a strong political leader with his advisers-­ -decides on the course of action. Obviously, in times of international tension these men need accurate information not only from their military staffs on the state of their and their opponent's armed forces and the strategic position of the country, but also expert reporting from their representatives abroad on the exact issues at stake and the attitudes of the other governments, including their immediate concerns and their historical background.

    Front side of Meyer Medal. Courtesy of the San Diego Historical Society. 74 WHEN DR. FAIRCHILD VISITED MISS SESSIONS: SAN DIEGO 19191 ■ By Nancy Carol Carter n 1939, Kate Sessions received the prestigious Frank N. Meyer Medal for distinguished services in plant introduction by the American Genetics Association. IShe joined the ranks of previously recognized male botanists, including Louis Charles Trabut, a French doctor teaching at the University of Algiers; Henry Nicholas Ridley, an Englishman who learned to tap the rubber tree for latex; Palemon Howard Dorsett, who spent the 1920s identifying plants in China and Japan; and wealthy amateur plant explorers Barbour Lathrop and Allison V. Armour. It was thirty years before another woman received the same honor.2 Sessions was nominated for the award by David Fairchild, plant explorer, botanist and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) official. A newly-explored archive of letters, photographs and manuscripts at the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden expands our knowledge of their relationship. Their seventeen-year-long correspon- dence suggests that he was the most enduring and influential of her professional contacts.3 This article reveals both the professional and the personal nature of their relationship, giving us a more nuanced understanding of Kate Sessions herself. By the end of the nineteenth century, botany had moved almost entirely from its Enlightenment origins as a proper and recommended activity for women and children to a professionalized and almost exclusively male pursuit within the science culture. Some exceptional women made a place for themselves in the field at this early date, but had to overcome barriers.

  • World War I 1914-1918

    World War I 1914-1918

    A Significant War Over 16 million people died in WWI and over 20 million were wounded, totaling over 37 million. There are 317 million people in the United States today. That means, that if the casualties from WWI were applied to the United States today, one in every nine people would be dead or wounded. That is how much of an impact this war had on the world, especially Europe, and why it is important to know and understand. World War I What was the correlation between the Age of Imperialism and the outbreak of World War I? Long Term Causes Militarism- Glorifying Military Power Keeping a large standing army prepared for war Arms race for military technology Long Term Causes Nationalism- Deep Devotion to One’s Nation Competition and Rivalry developed between European nations for territory and markets (Example France and Germany- Alsace-Lorraine) Long Term Causes Imperialism- European competition for colonies Quest for colonies often almost led to war Imperialism led to rivalry and mistrust amongst European nations Long Term Causes Alliance System- Designed to keep peace in Europe, instead pushed continent towards war Many Alliances made in secret By 1907 two major alliances: Triple Alliance and Triple Entente The Two Sides Triple Alliance Triple Entente Germany England Austria-Hungary France Italy Russia Central Powers Allied Powers Germany England, France, Austria-Hungary Russia, United Ottoman Empire States, Italy, Serbia, Belgium, Switzerland Game of Allegiance Did it get confusing trying to keep your allegiances
