The Presidency: World War

This week TIME introduces a new regular section, WORLD WAR (begins p. 20). Better to organize news of the conflict, WORLD WAR will report in words, pictures, charts, maps the war’s strictly military aspect. In addition, TIME’S war reporting will include occasional special documentary features, like this week’s preview of White Papers (see p. 38) and list of Europe’s Leaders (see p. 24). Political, social, ethical and other nonmilitary aspects of national life in Europe and elsewhere overseas will continue to be covered in Foreign News.

Where the War makes news in such general fields as music, science, education, it will be reported in TIME’S general departments. For example, this week for war songs see p. 68, for the evolution of poison gases see p. 51, for an account of the evacuation of London school children see p. 61.
