It is always easy to pick holes, if the critic is so minded, in contemporary military history, especially when the historian attempts to describe battle scenes in detail, because the evidence at his disposal is necessarily limited, and he matter has lost a good deal of its interest, but much remains which is worthy of attention and is thought-stimulating.

For reasons which were unconvincing either to soldier or layman, the various Commanders-in-Chief when writing their despatches during tho war wcro forbidden, even wben describing battles a year old, to preface them with tabulated statements setting forth the order of battle before fighting began.

For all tho uso Uvey were either to tho military student or to the general public, the despatches might as well have been in Chinese.

But why have the War Cabinet left an unofficial writer to remove the cloud which was allowed to hang for bo many months over General Gough 's head? Is this fair to any soldicr, least of all to the distinguished General who was made a scapegoat of for the sins of others? Someone must have blundered besides Russian rogues for omitting to reinforce General Gough 's front at a time when it was well known to our own General Staff tbat an attack was imminent in the locality chosen. by the enemy for delivering the blow. There were 400,000 men waiting at home ready to go out to Franco. Why were these men not sent out before instead of after tho attack Were the military authorities in France, or the War Cabinet at home, to blame for the omission?

(Chapman and Hall. 7s. net.) The texture of Mr. Marriott Wateon's short stories varies from playful fantasy to grim fiuspense-say from chiffon to serge. He opens with a pieco that recalls some of his' best sketches of irresponsibility a dream in a motor-bus, which' lights a candle of romance in actuality and then goes on to, present in turns a professional wife-murderer, a suffragette mix-up, a Canadian remittance-man, an American blackmailer, an episode, or two of war psychology.

Of the latter group, the tale of. wounded man who was, so to speak, white-: feathered; is not quite so. appealing as that of the yachtsman who returned from a remote voyage in ignorance of 'the commencement, of Arn'agoddon, and bumped, in all nonchalance on to the coastjpf Germany. Assuming that an innocent craft could evade investigation's sue-, cessfully as a German raider, the situation 'is and breathlessly handled.
