NJ BATTLES OF THE SOMME By Philip Gibbs. 336 Pages. Price, $1.50. McClelland, Goodchild & Stuart, Toronto, Publighers. The College Book Store, City. Philip Gibbs is well known to all newspaper readers through his des- patches from the- front, He repre- sents the best traditions of the Bri- tish war correspondent. In this book, as he announces, he has put together the articles which he "had written day by day for three months, since that first day of July, 1916, when hundreds of thousands of Bri- tish troops rosé out of ditches held againdt the enemy for nearly two years of trench warfare, advanced over open country op 133 the most formidable system of defences ever organized by great armies, and began a series of battles as fierce and bloody as anything the old earth has ever seen on such a stretch of ground gince the beginning of human strife. Gibbs, ashe accredited corres pondent with the British armies in the field, saw perhaps more of the great struggle than any other writer, and was thus enabled to send out those marvellous daily reports that electrified every reader. His' own feelings, as he penned these vivid let- ters, can be gathered from a signi ficant senténce: 'I was only a looker- on and reporter of othér men's cour- age and sacrifice--a miserable game, rather wearing on the nerves and spirit." 'We can well imagine how he must have longed to grab a rifle and jump into thé fray, and thus re- lieve his pent-up feelings. How- ever, when a previous war-corres- pondent, one Winston Churchill, did this in South Africa, he soon found himself a Boer prisoner--though la- #67 a British Lord of the Admiralty. It was only the weather, the au- thor. states, that stopped the British advance on the Somme. The ham- mer-strokes, though Germany reeled under them, were not decisive of victory. "I believe," he writes, 'that the German strength of resistance and attack is still great... 1 do not see a quick ending of this most horrible massacre in the fields of Europe."

W, SS first time and concerning the value of which there has been much doubt, find a champion in Gibbs. *"These new machines of war," he declares, "have justified their inventors a huadred- fold. They saved many casualties at many points of thé line. If we had enough of them--and it would be a big number-trench warfare would go forever and machine-gun redoubts would lose their terror." The fighting around Coutalmaison, Trones Wood and Mametz Wood was particularly fierce and deadly, and Gibbe' record of it is a masterpiece of descriptive writing. To quote one typical paragraph "Wave after wave went up Not one of places was won easily. The spirit of our race, all the steel in it, all the fire in its blood, was needed to gain the ground swept by machine-guns and ploughed by shells There were hours when men weaker stock would have despaired and yielded. But these men of our#™would not be beaten Fresh waves of them: went to get back in the morning what had been lost at night, or at night what had been lost by day, because of the fire which had destroyed those who had_gone up first, And every day they pade a little progress, thrust- ing forward an advance post here, winning a new bit of wood there, bombing the Germans back from ground we needed for a new advance, "| watched them passing along the roads towaml the front, saw old friends in their ranks, and knew, as I looked, that in all the world there are not more splendid soldiers. Hardened by atong campaign, bronz- ed to the color of their belts, march- ing with most perfect™ discipline, these handsome-clean-cut men went into the battlefield whistling as on the first day of the battle their com- rades had gone singing, though they kiew that in a few hours it would be hell- for them. As I watched them pass something broke in my heart so that 1 could have wept silly tears. There were other men, harder than 1, who were stirred 'by the same emo- tion, and cursed the war." Thrilling indeed 'are the pages de- voted to the gallant performances of the Scots at Longueval. Their first charge was one of the finest exploits of the war. "It was to the tune of 'The Campbells are Coming' that one regiment went forward, and that mu- si¢ was heurd with terror, beyond a donbt, by the German soldiers. Then the pipes screamed out the Charge, the most awful music to be heard by men who have the Highlanders against them, and with fixed bay- onets and hand grenades they storm- ed the German trenches." plendid men of these of The work of the guns is described] with wonderful reality, and a high tribute paid to the men who serve them. "The work of our artillery is a wonderful achievement," he de- clares, "and all the success we have gained during this great battle has been largely due to the science and daring of our gunners and to the la- bor of all those thousands of men at! home who have sweated in soul and NOW READY : y.

OH MARY BE CAREFUL! By George Weston. 178 Pages. Price, | $1.00. McClelland," Goodchild & Stewart, Toronto, Publisher. Mary's aunt had had an unhappy love affair and distrusted all men. So when she died and left 'her for- tune to Mary there were conditions attached. In fact, the fortune stood between the girl and a husband. So Mary had to be careful you see. De- sides the fortune, Aunt Myra Tet a book entitled, 'Why Mary Shouldn't Marry," in which she suggested threp | tests, declaring that no man could possibly pass all of them. But Mary chalced upon a chap who could, and did. What the tests were it would be unfair to tell here. The author has given us a harmless but rdther heavily sugared piece of fiction, which we can easily drop from memory without much loss. yr BLACK AND WHITE. Another, and the seventh, ment of this attractive little zine, edited by H. M. Nimmo, of De- troit, has come to hand. It is as full of satisfying satire and common-sense as its predecessors. The articles in toto are written by the author, and are each marked by a *"'punch" that drives the truth of them home most forcibly. "How Bryan Kept Us Out of War" is a masterly unmasking of this loud-talking pacifist. There is much 'food for thought in an essay entitled "On Being Governed by La- bor Unions." Some of the epigrams that adorn the pages are striking. For instanee: "All the stripes om Ole Bill Bryan's flag are white and all the stars are yellow." Again: "If the Father of his Country had crawled under the bed in '76 he would have done more honor to some of his preseiit<day progeny." Altogether, we have sixty pages of very bright, entertaining reading. The style and letterpress of this publication makes its perusal an additional pleasure. wv instal- maga- GERMAN SNEERS AT U.S, Major Moraht Says Army is Useless and War Material Shoddy. Amsterdam, April 13.--The Am-} erican army is held up to ridienle by sche Tages Zeitung, who jeers at the any effective military aid to the Al- Mes." Major Moraht says: "The Am- erican army is no danger to Germany. because neither side Jiad a trained army. Now Wilson, forgetful of his- tory, is trying the same thing, but it will be shown once more that the braggadocio of his countrymen is in inverse ratio to their fighting value." He concludes with a sneer at "shoddy American war material,l' concerning which he says that the Russians could tell a tale. t SUBS.
