A Splendid Record Quest By Jerome Hurst Blackett, London. as "a terribly attractive city, but its ace was feverish wills 10/6.
Three Years with Reuter This fascinating 246 page volume is a highly interesting record of Mr. Jerome Willis' extensive travels, studied reflections and mental experiences over a period of eighteen commencing in 1919 when, as y of eighteen, newly left school, served in the Royal Air Force with Deniken's Army in the Russian Revolution, and coming to a conclusion in 1937 when he was carrying out the arduous and hazardous tasks of a war correspondent during the siege of Madrid, The author makes no attempt to disguise the very obvious: fact that throughout his life, his sympathies have always been with the underdog, the poor and the oppressed, and he skilfully relates how, on several occasions in various parts of the Empire, he has, by the employment of a little mental dexterity, been able to heavily score off tHe "pukka sahibs," the "Egadsirs" and their feminine counterparts. the "mem-sahibs," much to their discomfort and of course to his and his pals' great delight, A typical Irishman, he writes in a witty and racy and quite the approved modern vein that will certainly appeal to many readers. His graphic powers of description, whether they be of "an old girl friend" with whom he went on "a wild jag" in Paris, or of a voyage on a P. & O. liner eastward bound, are uncannily realistic and lifelike, while his calculated observations on matters of everyday importance are to say the least, extremely refreshing and novel,
