WAR BOOKS.

The talent Of Philip Glib. as a
novelist is demonstrated in the coll
lection of his articles for the London
Daily Chronicle entitled The Soul OF
the War" Mcbride, Mast and Com
pany). The sphere of his activity
was France. about which compare
lively little has been written. with the
exception of Paris. He deals with
every day incidents. with
stories told him by al. sorts Of people,
which he does not try to verify. and
with some things that he saw himself.
He dresses up all this ~attractively with
philosophical and emotional refiec-
tons, that reflect the spirit of the
time when they were written. 1t 10
