From Mons to Mari,c
General Mauricc's Story of u
Memorable Forty DAYS


f9Fr{, DAYS II loli ny Msles General ST.
tisofss II isofan COMPANY.
The author Of this book and the ep=
efatiehs which he Describes, paftieu=
lAfly at the climax, have been the
themes Of so much controversy that
these spirited and luminous pages will
be eagerly scanned by all who have
been interested in the strategy of the
early months of the great war, before
open field fighting had given place to
"dlgging in" General Maurce's OBJ
lect is to explain the campaign from
Mons to the Marine, to tell what the
Germans were planning and expecting
while they were driving the little Brit
ish army before them, and to set forth
the facts as he saw them of the mir
ace of the Marne. Concerning the
latter he regards Won Kluck's errors
as having been highly disastrous to
the Germans, and he maintains that
much credit is due to the British arms:
l yield to no one in my admra-
tion for Foch's generalship and the
cool judgment which, after days of
almost intolerable strain, he dis
played IN seizing at once upon the
weak spot in the enemys line and
aiming at it, at exactly the right
time, a blow which changed what
would otherwise have been a limited
success into complete victory. Con-
temporary opinion has already done
justice, both to Foch's leadership
and to the endurance and valor of
his troops. Nor has there been any
failure to recognize either the splen-
OF Won Klucks desperate efforts, or
which contributed so much to the
final victory. But nowhere yet, so
far as l am aware, has justice been
done to the part played by the Brit
ish army in this glorious episode.
Our men were not called upon to
fight as they had done at Mons and
at LIE Cateau, nor as Foch's and
Manoury's men had to fight in this
battle. But l am convinced that his
tory will decide that it was the
crossing Of the Marne in the early
hours of the 9th by the British
army which turned the scale against
Won Kluck and saved Manoury at a
time of crisis
with further controversy we need
not here concern ourselves, nor is
there space to consider the detailed
and expert discussion of national mill
tary organization in which General
Maurice engages. His book is written
with the authority of knowledge and
experience, and in a spirited style
which makes the reading of it q de-
light even to him who cares nothing
for the strategy Of the great war.

Poems of Uncr0wned Laureate
Aftermath of War Literature
BY Willis Fletcher Johnson

kipling writes. as quite unworthy of
the author of "Barrack Room Ballads
and "Plain Tales from the Hills"
Well, quondoque bonus Homerus do,rni-
tat. Not everything that Kipling has
written is equal to "Gunga Din" and
"The Man That Was" But II he at
his best ever surpassed some of these
latest lyrics from his incompatible
pen, our studious reading of every line
that he has written fails to disclose
the fact.
The poems in this volume have
chiefly to do with the war, and they
are worthy of the theme Never, we
think, have there been written lyrics
on themes so provocative of extreme
passion which have shown at once so
much force and so much restraint.
There is not one of which you can say
that 1t is weak and falls short of its
opportunity, nor is there one which
contains single word of bombast or
rodomontade. Note, as single ex-
laws:
They paid the price 10 reach their goal
Across 81 world in flame
But their own hate slew their own eoil
Before that victofy came.
There Is not word that IL not per
feet IN choice, absolutely simple, abso=

majesty and the Irresistible conviction
Of An ancient Hebrew prophet. From
