These seven legs" accompanied by

from start to finish representing the
authors travels of nearly $4,000 miles.
There is NO dawdling along the
f1owery meads of literature for the
mere purpose Of strewing verbal ex-
travagancies along the way. Mr..
Murray is too wise printer to waste
words on splendid facts that speak
for themselves. And yet. few travel

ing clearness the scenes and per-
sonalities of strange countries or the
inscrutable wonders of the waters
that lie between. The book will be
of especial value to the many OF
modest fortune who would love to take
their little world-peeps but fear to
adventure for lack Of knowledge as
to cost. In contrast to the average
writer who tantalizingly disregards
the human nature that makes.a read

his itinerary and mile-distances from

LIEGE. On the Line of March. BY
Glenna Lindsey Bigelow. New
York: John Lane Company.
This is the journal of an American
girl, who, for the three months from
August to November. 1914. was vir-
tually a prisoner in Belgium. from
which place she finally escaped to
Holland and then 10 Paris. The
period taken into account here by
Miss Bigelow covers the twelve-day
bombardment of Liege. the capture
of the city. the burning of parts of
the town, the shooting of civilians,
and the taking Of citizens as hostages:
OF all this the writer kept journal
for the benefit of her family. This
benefit is here extended to the gen.
eral reader. The journal forms a
Straightforward and Unconditional ac-
count Of what the writer herself saw
in Belgium under the Prussian in
shifts and hardships of life in the
immediate neighborhood of the
chateau where Miss Bigelow and her
friends were housed-a typical picture
capable of expansion to cover many
miles of unhappy Belgian soil and
situation. The little book takes it's
rightful place among the other valu-
able hrst-hand accounts of the early
months of the war.

Of a variety and substance to cover a
few frailties. This is a story of the
popular girl who becomes, by easy
and insensfble stages, the selfish girl
also. Growing and growing in her
own estimation there comes. finally,
to be no room for any one else in her
own cosmos. A series Of pretty well
managed incidents-all certainly up

stated that he had already reached

which was his third objective, and
was now only waiting for our barrage
to lift to storm the village.
The battalion had not won this sue
cess easily or without heavy losses.
and it was largely due to the untiring
energy and indomitable resolution of
their colonel that they won it at all.
The battalion advanced in three
waves across the enemy's first system
of trenches as far as Station road,
three-quarters of a mile from Beau
court Companies and platoons lost
touch with one another in the fog and
their ranks were thinned by the pitt
less fire, which WIS concentrated upon
them, and, by the time Station road
was reached, the battalion was in al
most inextricable confusion. But Col
Freyberg never lost heart. By super
human exertions, he succeeded in re-
organizing the battalion in two waves,
with the addition of several men Of
other units who had missed their way
in the fog, and, placing himself at
their head. went forward once more.
He walked so close behind the British
barrage that shells frequently burst
within twenty yards of him and
twice he was slightly wounded by fly
ing splinters. One OF his officers i'm
plored him to keep back, but he replied
that, If he did that, the men would
lose confidence.
Only a little more than two hours
after the attack had begun the remnants
OF the Hood battalion had reached the
German positions outside Beaucourt.
No other troops. either north or south
OF the Ancre, had gone so far and the
battalion was in grave danger of being
surrounded. Food and ammunition were

self.
Col. Freyberg had now barely 300
men left with him, and none knew bet
ter than he the strength of the position
he was about to attack. But he never
hesftated, and was himself the first
man to leave the trench. He was
knocked down by a bullet which
struck his shrapnel helmet. but he rose
to his feet and went on. Cheered by
his fine example, his /men-now no
longer the 300-never faltered un-

ranks. Their gallant colonel at their
head. they swept through the viii
lage, and long before noon there was
not a single German left in Beau
court. They took 500 prisoners and
large quantities Of stores.
German shells soon began to pour
into Beaucourt, and Col. Freyberg at
once set to work to organize it's de-
fense against the inevitable counter
attack. He established posts to the
east and northeast to guard against
surprise. At 3:16 p.m.. when his work
was almost done, he was hit for the
fourth time. Severely wounded as he
was, such was the grit of the man
that he refused to be taken to the
dressing station until he had given
detailed orders for the defense Of the
village to his second in command.

boat. But the darkness. which had
shielded him before. now proved a
false friend. For two long hours he
battled with strong cross current
and. lusty swimmer that he was, his
strength was all but exhausted when
at last he saw the welcome bulk Of

sourcefulness and pluck which he dis
played in this adventure the young
ohcer was awarded the distinguished 4
service order.
Some eighteen months later he won
the Victoria cross during the attack
on the village of Beaucourt in the
battle of the Somme.
The Royal Naval Division had seen
hard service at Antwerp and in Galip-
oil, but never before had they faced
so stern task. While farther south
the German defenses had crumbled
away before the swelling flood of the
British advance, the stubborn front
ON the right bank of the Ancre had
stood firm as granite. The German
soldiers lived securely behind a solid
wall of barbed wire, in deep trenches
that were full of cunningly devised
redoubts and studded thick with ma
chine gun emp!acements. The slopes
behind were honeycomhed with tun-
nels that ran deep beneath the earth,
where whole battalions could shelter
and into which no shell could pene-
trate.
On the morning or November 13 the
British attacked on a front extending
roughly from the Grandcourt-Thiep-
val road. just south of the river. to
the village of Serre on the north. At
5:45 am, in darkness which was in
tensified by a dense fog. the British
troops crossed their parapets. On the

northeast. They dug out 400 Ger
mans from their warrens, and their
spoils included more than fifty ma
chine guns. An equal number of
prisoners fell into the hands OF the
new army division on the right. at a
cost of less than 500 casualties. They

morning. and by evening the British

Extremes of fortune fell to the lot
of the battalions of the Royal Naval
Division. Their front extended from

river. The first two lines of trenches
were carried. but in front of the Ger

which had survived our lombard

LONDON. May 20, 1918
TT falls to the lot Of few men to
command a battalion at the early
age Of twenty-eight. Bernard
Cyril Freyberg was no older than
that when he found himself in COM
mand Of the Hood Battalion Of the
Royal Naval Division on the Somme
in the month of November. 1916. He
was well worthy of his responsible
post, for he had to his credit a bril-
liant record of service throughout
the war, and had proved himself in
many a hazardous enterprise to be a
born leader OF men.

fame through all Australasia as an
exceptionally fine athlete. He stood
six feet in his socks and was broad

But his restless spirit craved for

from New Zealand to America in
search of adventure. and finally
drifted to Mexico. where he fought
in the civil war.
