there were left Of the faithful to wear
the forgetmenot of Alsaee-Lorraine only
"a few mothers, few widows, few old
soldiers, and your humble servant" But

1C all students of military history and
Il likewise to all mere readers of
military campaigns there is deadly dull
sameness about descriptions of engage
ments in war of position such as never
pertains to battles fought in war of
manGuvre, as they call open fighting in
these days of our international rap
prOchement. To such students AMI read
ELS there will be found uncommon pleas
ure in the pages of The Desert Cam
paigns, in which W. T. Massey tells TO
stirringly and so admirably the story of
the Egyptian Expeditionary Force and
its work in clearing the Sinai Peninsula
of the German-led Turks and of driving
the Senussi revolutionaries out of the
Egypt which lies west of the Nile up to
the borders of Libya.
Mr.. Massey begins his narrative with
a description of conditions in Egypt at
the outbreak Of the war in 1914, and he
pays high and deserved compliment to
Sir John Maxwell, the British chief in
Egypt, for his handling of the situation
then and af;,rward. There was strong
element in Egypt in 1914 that did not
believe the Turks could cross the desert
of Sinai, but in spite of this some de-
fences were created for the Suez Canal,
of which Lord Kitchener is quoted as
asking: "Are you defending the canal or
is the canal defending your This was
after the Turks had actually reached the
eastern bank of the canal in some places
but without doing any material damage.
They were eventually driven back to a
comparatively safe distance from it.
The real story of the Sinai campaign
begins when Mr.. Massey returned to
Egypt in February, 1916, and found that
Sir Archibald Murray had worked out
plan for an offensive defence that even
tually carried the Egyptian Expedition
airy Force not only across Sinai, where
Mr.. Massey's narrative ends, but up into
the Holy Land itself. The building Of
railway and the carrying forward of
water supply were the chief features OF
the campaign, the military end Of which

muniti,.n and 500 eamels among other war
materials. Then came the battle of
Maghdaba and Rata, the last in January,
1917, with which the narrative of tue
Eastern campaign ends, on the border OF
Palestine. What the fight at Rata was
like we give in the war correspondents
own words.
THE action, as | have said, was pic
turesque one, and the scene more resem-
bled battle of the generation ago than
a fight with modern type rifles, field guns
and machine guns. The Inverness, Som
erset and Leicester batteries galloped to
positions which were unavoidably exposed
and well within range of the enemys
guns, and actually carried on direct fire.
1t is very seldom during this war that
our gun layers have seen their targets
over their sights, but they did so at Rata
all day long. B Battery of the Honorable
Artillery Company enjoyed the same
privilege when the mounted brigade came
into action, and the Londoners, as you
would expect them, quickly settled down
to good rapid shooting Then there was
the stirring picture of the Light Horse
galloping into action over wide stretch
of green turf, getting move on much
more quickly than the German text books
on which the Turks were fed had led
the Turks to believe possible.
.'And all this time there were Bedouin
spectators who had come out to watch
the battle fought with the same GOODNESS
as if it were field day in peace time.
So confident were the natives that they
would be unframed that they sent their
women folks to Craze floeks and herds be-
hind our lines, and at one period there
was actually girl with some sheep be-
tween the trenches and our firing line.
The whisthng shells overhead neither IN
terfefed with the feeding sheep nor dis
turbed the girls equanimity. And when
the Light Horse made their rush to the
trenches q COW and her calf accompanied
them"

fist has ever been a pacifist; there is no
battle hymn of peace. All is war and
beauty-this world belongs to the warrior
and the artist.
Art, according to D'Annunzio, is the su-
preme adventure of the Intellect. Great
artists are marauders. There are no shut
doors, no forbidden routes, to a Shake
speare, a Blake, a Balzac, Wagner, a
D'Annunzio. The latter in his superb ego
ism declares that the world exists for him
alone; that all that has been heard, seen,
felt, known, are only colors for his pal
cite; that the world has only meaning in
so far as it can be written about, sung
about, put to music or eternized OIL canvas.
It is his first and last tenet-the world
for Arts sake All is loot TO him. And
the Great War is only branch of Art.
The supreme artist in D'Annunzio here
merges itself with the Supremer Artist
who is the author of this supreme tragedy
of mankind.
He is mental aristocrat and will never
be beloved of the mob, although the heroic
superman of Italy. He loves the strange,
the abnormal, the exceptional. He would
rip the veil from Isis, if he could find Isis
or the veil He knows that adventure is
better than truth, for the first thrills, while
the latter Stays.
Gabrielle D'Annunlo is the essence Of
the Latin Genius-a soul of flame and
steel; vibrating, intoxicated Imagination
that creates suns, hells and chants that
are demonic and transfgurating.
In war or in peace he is the stuff out Of
which posterity fashions immortals.

Major r. NJ. Johnston in his General
Foch: An appreciation, says that when
Foch was an instructor at the Eeole de
Guerre several classes of young officers
sat at his feet and carried away with them
the idea that in the next conflict the
French army must necessarily adopt the
offensive at all costs. "As to Gen. Foeh,
he will undoubtedly attempt to show US
at the present juncture the working of this
doctrine in its soundest aspect" wrote
Major Johnston. "While maintaining, as
he must, the best defensive that can be
organized against the vast weight of the
German armies, we know that he will seek,
and seek with the keenest vision, for any
point in the German line at which eoun-
ter offensive blow can be launched" The
Major said it!

- F who is taken awe is a traitor
L to the Allies" cried Gabrielle
DAnnunzio, as implacable in war as he
is in his art!
1t may be said of Goethe that he gave
speech to his country. 1t may be said of
Gabrielle D'Annunzio that he gave to his
country triple tongue of fire. The magic
OF his genius has penetrated to the very
roots of his language; he can take words,
words, words, and make them blazing dia-
dems of thought, or conjure up with them
subtle moods, airier than springtime
zephyrs; or touch the soul with nameless
horror, infusing nightmare into the heart
and brain of the reader-and set them to
the grand sweeps of passion that send
men TO the battle line and death in the
name Of the Latin Genius!
For D'Annunzio only two things exist
Beauty and Conflict Art and War are
the two things worth while. No great ar

man eligible to be drafted into the Army

Juliette Adam has been telling her eoun-
trymen the truth about the Beast of Ber-
lin.
In his introduction to a series Of her
articles in her own paper, La NouueHe
Rerue, Mr.. ]. o. p. Bland tells US that
Nine. Adam believed 1917 would Ere
venge and reverse the tragedy of 1871"
The charm of the figures must have led
that brilliant mind momentarily astray,
but even the grants of intellect can hardly
have resisted quite unrelaxingly the
temptation to fix date for peace! And,
most likely, La Grande' Franchise yielded
to it before the Russian smashup came to
upset all logical calculations.
Always Nine. Adam has upheld the
ori1amme of la revanche. To see "the
black wreaths on the statue Of Strasbourg
in the Place de la Concorde changed to
garlands of rejoicing has been the dream
of her life. And now, while the calendar
still hides the day and date, the free
nations begin to see the last stretch of the
long road before them! Must we be &C
cused of reading ethics into the universal
constitution because we say that there Is
no better reason for our confidence IN
the ultimate destruction of the German
militarist power than this: That God did
not make His world for ruinf Alsace and
Lorraine shall surely De freed and bleed
ing Belgium salved, and the German
shackles struck from every victim Of
Hohenzollern brutal mania. We see it
now; Nine. Adam saw it long ago-saw
what the mad mind Of Germany's tryant
was leading to, and what the end would
be, and what price the threatened strue-
ture of civilization would pay for its con-
tinued existence.
She saw it coming, and raised her voice
in warning. But Lord, what deaf ears
received the monitory vibrations! AT
times her fate seemed to match Cassan-
dra's. Mr. Bland enumerates some of the
times: at was so at the time of the Ber-
lin Congress in 1878, when, after his visit
to Germany, Gambetta abandoned the
idea of la revanche. 1t was so in 1891,
when she realized that the influence of

absolute justice of the Allies cause-or,
less reprehensibly, perhaps, to wonder
how far we may be justified in adding to
self-protection the retributive and puni-
tive motive-if there are such people,
they could not more surely and swiftly
restore their souls peace and equilibrium
and fortify themselves for the task laid
upon each of US than by reading thess
reprinted articles.
Nine. Adam will show them how old
and inveterate is the German offence
how deliberately the House of Hohen-
zellern, perverting its subjects, sowed the
wind whose harvest of whirlwind it is now
to reap.
