THE NORTH-CHINA

so that we may understand whatever comment comes from Australia in the future on British Army methods. And having dealt with it, we may turn to the better nobler side of the campaign.

ome of our readers know the style of that campaign, so very different. from the struggle in France, and they will appreciate intimacy just as those others will enjoy it because of its strangeness. It contains generous tribute to what Sir Archibald Murray did prior to the arrival of Allenby, and it considers that, he justified his appointment, remembering always the inadequacy of the forces allowed him.

In the course of a review it is impossible to do more than indicate wi the book contains, but those who love stories of hard-fought actions on foot, of cavalry charges, and whose admiration is excited by tales of how men carried on lacking food and water, will find this volume full of splendid material. Incidents of battle are told in a manner which the Jarman can readily grasp, and the whole tale is one which neither time nor usage will ever stale.
