It tells of the declara- tion of war and the French mobiliza- tion, of the invasion of France, the premeditated eruelties of the Ger- mans and of the German organized spy system The author sums up the reasons why France is fighting in the following words: "We may say that France is fight- ing for two reasons. The first rea- son is that on the third of August, 1914, war was declared on her; she was forced to fight; her territory was invaded, her cities burned to the ground, heér fields ravaged, her citi- zens massacred. The second reason is because ghe does not want to have to fight in the future; she does not wish this Horror to be reproduced a second time; she wishes, in the im- mortal words of Washingtén, 'that plague of mankind, war, banished off the earth." " The second, chapter tells how France is fighting, how her men, wo- men and children vie with each oth- er in heroic effort. Lauzanne illus- trates this chapter with incidents from his own personal experiences at the front ,and tells of some thrilling episodes of the Marne and Verdun. The armies of the rear and the work- ers at home are shown in, all the splendor of their self-sacrifice, and the whole chapter is summed up in ne soulstirring passage: ro geen ~Hiuture-bistorians will-state-that} France has fought, not only with all her courage, her tenacity, and her soul, but with all her men, women and children, terrible times, . their sufferings, an their mourning, have remained firm- ly united, forming a firm rock from which not a single stone has been splintered." The third chapter utterly refutes the German statement that France is bled white. The noble little re- public has suffered tremendously, but it is still secure. The author Fshows the exact condition of his country in men, money and muni- tions, and gives a summary of all the great resources still at her com- mand, in spite of what has already been accomplished. Financially. France is more secure than at the beginning of the war, Lauzanne's own words are: "Yes, France is dutrering. But it is not bled white. It is not true that she is worn out . The horrible hope Germany had formed of emp- tying France of her strength, of leav- ing her, fighting for breath, and con- quered, beaten to the earth for cen- arm is still strong, her muscles vigor- ous and her blood rich." And full proof is' given of that statement. The final chapter gives a clear enuneiation of France's war, aims. They are stated in three words, Resti- tution, Reparation, and Guarantees.

Sergt. Empey starts at the very beginning of the soldier's career in the army, and from his own extensive experiences tells what can bé doné to make army life pleasant in the training period, gives pointers on all the tricks and dodges which every recruit has to face, and shows the' way towards promotion. The main purpose of the book, and it is a book with a purpose rather than a story of war, is to give the civilian and the newly drafted man the bene- fit of a number of hints on all phases of life in the army in wartime. The writer has seen six years' service in the regular United States army, seven years in the National Guard, and over a year in the English army, in the trenches on the western front. So he is well qualified to deal with his subject . After dealing with the reéruit period, Empey takes his read- ers with hifi' overseas, and tells of the life of the soldier overseas, in the base camp, the rest billets, and the firing line. The chapter * entitled "From My Trench Note-Boek" is very ingtryetive, and initiates the recruit to many devices and plans adopted by the troops to make life more bear- able on the firing line. His account of a trench raid and the treatment of the woupded,are thrilling to a degree. In one chapter he emphasizes the great need of the men on the firing line for smokes. He says: "Do your bit--send contributions to the 'smoke fund,' and win the gra- titude and thanks of the boys who are fighting your fight--our fight Uncle Sam's fight -- the civilized world's fight. Let your slogdn be, 'Smokes for Sammy," and turn the who, in spite of the Words inte action." No one need expect to find in this a thrilling story 6f actual war deeds. It 1s simply a book showing the new soldier what confronts him all the way from training eamp to. trench. He shows the people at homé, those who are left behind to wait and work, what the boys are doing every day. He tells them what they, what every American and every Canadian, can do to help him. i ---------- New Books Worth Wil.
