 Le Queux Tearing His Hair
 William De Queux is tearing his hair (which Is scanty), and rendng his gar ments, which are always the acme of fashionable tailoring, because the war office has banned his new book. "Britain's Deadly Peril" I am unable to sym pathize with Le Queux who. though he knows how to tell a good story of the sensational sort, is guilty of terrible rot when he starts out as a pamphleteer. He sees spy in every man with a wig and a signal to German submarines in every match struck at the seaside, and he writes by the column about German clubs q Soho where the toast of "The Day. is still drunk nightly and all sorts ol ma Chinations against the realm planned un- der the noses of the police.
