Oplum or Ft ive: snd ---- By E. Alexander Powell, McClelland, | Goodehild & Stewmrt, Toronto, | Publishers, 25:3 Pages, THusirat- | «d. R. Uglow & Co., City So far there are only two or thtee war books that stand out pre-emin- ently above the great tats of books already writteh. These include | Powell's "Fighting in Manders" and | Palnier's "My Year of the Great | War." Singularly enough, both au- thors are Americans and both are| pro-Allies from the drop of the nat. | And now Powell has given us a se! cond volwme, "Vive La France," no his first remarkable story. fty and sacrifice in a conflict which her the sympathy, respect and admir- ation of the world." and the ringing words will find an! cept where the German foot is plant- campaign have been accorded great-! j er opportunities or privileges than Mr. Powell. He has been enabled | to get close to great events, and with picture and pen he has faithfully and! realistically described them. The photos reproduced with such profus- fon in this book are quite the best | yet seen, They have been taken | "close up," and they show us things | as they are, That is also the key-| note of Powell's book, and the secret! of its wonderful magnetism. He| has been on the spot, and, without | bombast or boasting, he recounts his expsrience in simple gnd unaffected language. The tragedy, the pathos, | the drama---the undying story--are| all the more appealing when told in| Powell's clear-cut sentences. Here! is no striving for rhetoric, or fine writing. Here is the work of a! magnificent reporter, Occasionally he rises to heights of eloquence here | and there, as when he pays tribute | to the wonderful spirit of the people of France, Robert Herrick, in his "World's Decision," was, like some other Am erican writers, very bitter in his cri ticism of the British army. Not so Powell. He pays it and its work a splendid meed of tribute. He makes | it plain that the British have done marvels in creating an army. "The | machine that the British have knock- | ed together, though still a trifle wob- bly and sometimes creaky, in its] joints, is, I am convinced, eventually | going to succeed." The author pays | nigh tribute to the valor and value! of the ordinary British soldier, To! quote: { "He has now fouyd out to his cost, | and to his great disgust, that his op | ponent has no intention of being! hampered by the rules laid down by | the late Marquis of Queensberry, hav | ing missed no opportunity to gouge, or kick or hit below the belt. But the British soldier has now become | familiar with his opponent's tactics, | and one of these days when he is | good and ready he is going to give] that opponent the surprise of his! life by landing on him with both feet, | spikes on his shoes and brass knuck- les on his fingers," No less warm a tribute is paid the Canadians. Their place in the Bat-, tle of Ypres is described with simpli- city and clearness, but is none the less thrilling, Listen: "It was against the British, re-! meniber, that the Germafis first used their poison-gas. The first engage- ment of importance in which gas played a part was the second battle of Ypres, lasting from April 22nd until May 13th, which will probably take rank in history as one of the | greatest battles of all time. In it the Germans, owing to the surprise aud confusion created by this introduc- tion of poison-gas, came within a | hair's breadth of breaking through the Allied line, and would certainly | have done so had it not'been for the gallantry and self-sacrifice of the! Canadian Division, which, at the cost! of appalling losses, won imperishable fame. * * For days the fate of the army hung in the balance, for there! seemed no end to the German reser- ves, who were wiped out-by whole divisions only to be replaced by! more, but against the stone wall of the Canadian resistance the men in| the spiked helniets threw themselves | in vain." Powell graphically describes tho fighting In Champagne, where the French made such ai important ad- vance last September. Some new facts are brought out. For instance, | Were cannon everywhere, fired almost as fast as the infantry. Going over the battleground shorily afterwards, the author tells exactly 'what he saw: "The thing of which the Champagne battlefield most re- minded me was « gatbage-heap. It looked and smelled as though all the garbage cans in Europe and America destruction wrought by the French artillery fire ie almost beyond imag- inig®, 4 * * The captured German trenches 'presented the most horrible sight that ¥ have ever seen or ever expect to see.

This offensive in Champagne cost the Freneh very close to 110,000 men. The German casualties were about 140,000, of whom 21,000 were prisoners. In addition the Germans | Tost 121 guns, Despite this appalling | eost in human lives, the distance | gained by the French was so small | that it cannot be seen on the ordin- ary map. Mr. Powell also discussés the French appreciation of the British army, and especially of the fleet, He 4gain proves the ruthlessness of Ger- mans in shelling and bombing Red Cross locations, and points out in- stances of the treachery of German | soldiers when they are surrendering, less absorbing and instructive thao | whereby they frequently succeed in | injuring or killing those who are tak- "To France, whose courage, seren- {ing them prisoners. | Harken to this touching paragraph 4 chapter entitled "The Red Badge of Mercy'--a paragraph that comes closely home to us all: "On a cot beside the door was stretched a young Canadian. His face looked as though a giant in spik- €d shoes had stepped upon it. 'Look,' said the surgeon, and lifted the wool- len blanket, The man's body was like a field which had been gone over with a disk harrow. His feet, his legs, his abdomen, his chest, his arms, his face, were furrowed with gaping an- gry wounds. 'He was shot through the hand, 'explained the surgeon. 'He made his way back to the dress: ing station in the reserve trenches, but just as he reached it a shell ex- ploded at his feet." I patted him on the shoulder and told him that I too knew the land of the great forests and the rolling prairies, and that before long he was going back to it. And, though he could not speak, he turned that poor, torn face of his and smiled at me. He must have been sufféring the torments of the damn- ed, but he smiled at me. I tell you-- he smiled at me!" "Vive La France?" Yes. But also "Vive La Canada," as long as she can produce sons like that, ------------ THE BEASTS OF TARZAN By Edgar Rice Burroughs, McClel- land Goodchild & Stewart, Tor- onto, Publishers 387 Pages, Il- lustrated. Price, $1.30, R. Uglow & Co, City Burroughs is an author afflicted with a wonderful imaginations an Imagination te which he allows full play. His "Tarzan of the Apes' and "The Return of Tarzan" have been reviewed on this page The present book is merely a continua- tion of the exploits 'of the ape-man Tarzan, but by no means is the in terest of 'the story sustained.. One or two books were quite enough to exhaust such a subjeet; a third vol ume produces a feeling of nauseous- ness. One can read a certain amount of such improbable, impos- sible fiction, but after that it becomes tiresome, The wildest of crazy dreams is tame compared with this Jungle story, where the wild eat and the apes become the companion and champlon of Tarzan. Their ex- ploits, individual and collective, are about the. most improbable that could well be imagined. Probably, however, many readers will find the volume interesting. The villain is deep-dyed and defianig the hero is a marvellous combinatfn of man and ape to whom nothing seems impos- sible;\ the fair.ady is saved as by a miracle, and atl ends happily.

Another of the many war books, and one compiled by a thinker, a man who silts and analyzes and compares, rather than by a descriptive writer} It shows the work of the man of re- flection, and therefore is deserving os attention, Mr. Herrick spent the greater part of 1915, in France and Italy. It this book he describes and interprets the great events of which he was an eyewitness. From a liter- ary standpoint, the book is remark- ably well written, but with many of its statements and conclusions the average English speaking person will take conclusions. It is alto- gether too much pro-France and too anti-British. - While he hak perhaps faithfully analyzed the underlying causes of Italy's movements, he has been altogether too fulsome in his praise of France and altogether too severe in his censure of Britaim Herrick has misread the _spirit that aminated the British Empire; iu fact, he has floundered here almost as badly as Germany did.
