They were now destined to take part in the great battles of Mons, Le Cateau, the Marne, the Aisne and the first de- fence of Ypres. Except at Mons, the | British were everywhere faced by| vastly -superior numbers, and Sir Conan points out -that the defeats {hey suffered were really victories. . Official - records show that at Mons & British army of 80, 000 men was attacked in front by almost 200, 000 Germans, while 40,000 more were thrown upon its left flank, The story of how Sir John French's men svaded the trap, fought rear-guard is day after day and agpitched battle at Le Cateau and vet were able after a ten days' retreat to face the enemy again at the Marne, will live in history wherever the English tongue is spoken. The battle of Le Cateau was fought by Smith-Dorrien with 70,000 weary and worn-out men against 170,000 Germans, provided with an overpowering artillery, yet Smith-Dorrien extracted himself and the bulk of his army. It was here, says the historian, that the British guns rap short of shellse and British gunners} under a heavy fire, were seen sitting in gloomy groups around the guns, which they had neither the shells to work nor the heart to abandon. German superiority in heavy artil- lery was very pronounced, and al- most won them the war. In a chap- ter on "The Battle of the Aisne" Sir Ah: writes: "About this period both the British and French armies began to strengthen themselves with those heavy guns in which they had been so completely outweighed by their enemy. On Sept. 20th the French in the neighborhood of our lines received twelve long-range cannon firing a 35-1b, shell a dist- ance of 13,000 yards. Three days 4&ter the British opened firé with four new batteries of six-inch howit- zers, From this time onwards there was no such great disparity in the hedvy artillery, and the wolnded from the monster shells of the enemy had at jast the slight solace that their faté was not unavenged. The expenditure of shells, however, was "still at the rate of ten German to one of the Allies. If the war was not won it was no fault of Krupp and the men of Essen. In two weeks the British lost pearly 3,000 men from shell fire Further describing this Battle of the Aisne, the author writes: "The shell4ire was incessant and from several converging directions. Ger- man infantry attacks were constant hy night and by day, and the un- drained trenches were deep in water.

SOMME BATTLE STORIES, By Capt. A. J. Dawson. 239 pages. Prige 75¢. IHustrated ' by Capt. Brae Bairnsfather. Hodder & Stoughton, London and Toronto, publishers. - The College Book Store, city. The Somme offensive of last sum- mer clearly demonstrated what the British armies could accomplish when the leaders deemed it advis- able. Many 'have been the moving stories written of this gigantie con- flict; yet the censor's'activities have prevented the true facts from com- ing to light. The * British soldiers described it, consist- ed of a score or more of engage- ments, which, as we used to judge war, would take rank as very notable and sanginary. battles. In lected the narratives of various of- ficers and men who arrived at South- ampton on the hospital ships, fresh from the great offensive. WA colonel sums up the result thus: "Yes, I think you can take it Master Boche will never again set foot on the ground we have won from him, and I think he knows it. But, al- though its mighty hard to get, the ground we've got from him is the least of the things we've taken from the German army, as I see it. The main gain is in the changes wrought in the two armies--the Huns' and ours----since July 1st. And that you can't reckon in figures. Begad, there aren't any figures big enough | for the reckoning." The men of the new armies, hav- ing come to real grips with the foe, have found him a good fighter and splendidly equipped. But they've found something else: they've found they can beat him. This has put the 'spirit of victory into the British | Tommy, and made him well nigh ~{invincible. It has, #5 returned of- ficers declared, seriously Neakened the morale of the Boche. 38 pus of them: "Since July 1st Bun w army has inflicted a crushing blow in Steam Engineering, D.

No, good my masters, this is not as are most of the books that reach the reviewer's desk these days, It is, on the contrary, one of those good, "old fashioned yarns con- cerning the sea, and far-off islands and buried treasure. Into its warp and woof is woven the thread oa Fif- | teen. years before our story begins, | millions of dollars of gold intended | for China had been buried on the Foank of a river in New Guinea. One of the members of that ill-fated ex- pedition. had married a native wo- man, but was subsequently murder- {ed by his white companion, named | Smith. The latter now turns up in Sydney, Australia, under 'ie name | of Maequart, and tells the story in | all its glowing details, He had it, | he says, from Smith, Macquart in- | terests a few adventurers and a fin- | ancier in his object, with the result that a ship is equipped and sets out {in search of the gold, Their sub- | sequent adventures form the basis of this interesting story. Despite -| the passing of fifteen years, the na- | tive woman recognizes 'her busband's slayer and lays plans to satiate her revenge, Meantime her daughter fallfyn love with Houghton, a mem- ber [of the expedition, and by her devotion saves the rest of the party after Macquart had succeeded in los- ing them in the midst of a jungle. Macquart, after many adventures apd the death of his two aides, un- covers the treasure and begins to transfer it-on board the ship. But the curse that follows gold was upon him, and he goes insane. His head is taken by a Dyak warrior, and the rescued members of the party arrive upon the scene, recover the gold and sail away to freedom and happiness. Of course, they take with them Houghton and his prospective bride. The story is. well told, and abounds with many thrilling incidents. Not the least of its merits is the deserip- tion of tropical scenes and the nights at sea<in the antipodes.

William Briggs, Toronto, publish- er. The College Book Store, city. We venture to affirm that no book issued since the war began can at all record of sea fighting or as a close- range view of life aboard a battle cruiser, The author writes with pon- summate skill of the daily life of | the seamen and sailors at watch in the North Sea, in English harbors, on voyages through the tropics, in the memorable and glorious fight off the | Falkland Islands, northward again to home via Gibraltar, and back once more to the fateful North Sea, where his beloved ship went down in an en- gagement with the enemy. Through all these vicissitudes of fight and 'fortune and fun the author takes us, and so vivid and alluring is the tale that the reader almost fancies he ls cone of that noble ship's company. The name of the ship is carefully con- cealed. We .earn that she is rushed into commission just after the out- break of the war, did patrol duty on the British coast, was "blooded" the fight off Heligoland, and an a leading part in the, naval battles of the Falklands.

Price, | | $1.25. Hodder & Stoughton, To- ront, Publishers. The College Book Store, City. John Buchan is' one of England' s foremost novelists, essayists and his-| torians, His present great book, viz., "Nelson's History ef the War," many volumes of which have already been published, have given him a world- wide reputation. Therefore, a nov gl from his pen must command atten- tion, From such a writer much can be expected---and in this case--much He has snatched the time from his more serious duties as an historian to write a novel of surpass- ing interest. The great war, which has engrossed his time and talents, has suggested to him the theme of a fascinating story, and "Greenmantle" is the uappy result. In his dedica- tion, he tells the reader that it has amused him in the intervals of an active life, to construct this tale, and he hopes it will like- wise amuse tae reader. It does. It is®ne of the best romances built upon the war that we have read. * Improbable, impossible? Such words might have been used before the war, but they are meaningless now, To-day melodrama has be: come the prosiest realism, Some day, he confesses, when the full his- tory of this<waifs written, --sober history with ample documents----the poor romancer will give up business and fall to reading Miss Austen in a hermitage, 4 This story, which has its initial setting in the British war office, i to do with the bewildering and bafr- ling East, A new evangel has arisen there, somewhere between the Bal- kans and Asia Minor, and the people are aroused as never before. Ger- many, it is surmised, is in the back- ground of this strange movement, part religious, part individaalistic. Its effeét upon the impressive East- ern temperment is electric and pow- erful, The menace to Britain is re- cognized. It must be combafted. The secret must be unravelled, and the plans frustrated. Therefore the war office commissions three men, among them an American, to travel by different routes to Constantinople in an endeavor to solve the secret. Their adventures are many and excit- ing, and give the reader good value for his money. One of them passes through Germany---falls under sus- picion, and only his ability and Brit- ish pluck save his neck. The tale of his experiences throws a vivid-side- light upon German character .and methods. The three meet in Con- stantinople, and here it would seem, their troubles only begin. Yet fate is kind; they emerge unscathed and in their possession the secret of the movement that might have fired all the Moslem world and seriously im- perilled the Allied | course, was the secret, what the solution? It would spoil the story, gentle read- er, were we to tell you, Suffice to say, the problem is well worked out to a satisfactory conclusion, and a splendid story is the result. SONGS OF THE SAILOR MEN, By "T.B.D." Hodder & Here is a collection of rollicking, breezy songs of the sea, each of them breathing the spirit and hope of the gallant British tar. They speak of the perils of midnight vigils in the North sea, when the storm king of winter holds sway; of the gallant deeds- of Admirals of glorious mem- ory; of the army, that sister ser- vice they love and praise: ot affairs on land and on shipboard.

After Contractor Payne gets through with the City Council it will be in order for the Board of Works to produce that well-known play, "Paid in Full." Dollars to doughnuts the city fathers will lose if they go to law. Let that Frontenac story about the sacrifice the county 'made in freeing its roads of tolls be told only to the plumber. Fike it from one who knows, the Frontenac Council had to abolish the tolls, for the Ontario Government put the screws on that body a dozen or more years ago, as the -records will"show. In the first place, Frontenac owed the 'Ontario Government nearly $70,000 for the old York road, which it had never paid, and that account was wiped out on condition that the road tolls be. abolished. The tolls on other county roads were abolished in order to get the Government road grants, which are given only to rural muni cipalities having free roads. --THE TOWN WATCHMAN.
