We are not sure that any British
writer has quite so sauarely claimed.
Yet it is the impregnable truth, nobly
set forth by this brave French soldier
in terms which will not be successfully
controvertcd.
Never have we seen in print another
so scsthing arrsignment of the mp
palling mismanagement of the French
hospital administration in the Crimean
War; matter of which the author, as
a soldier in that war. had the most
direct personal knowledge. Louis Ma
olton was then new to the throne OF
France; yet already there seemed to

which in the Terrible Year reached a
climax which caused the defeat Of that
Amy and the irremediable fall of the
Emperor. "Nevertheless, he says
with bitter irony, at appeared that we
had the most perfect administration
in the world. That is an in
famous lie"
1t was largely the purpose Of Colonel
du Picq in writing this book to warn
France against the prevalence Of that
malacministration. Unhapply, his brave
wise words were not officially needed.
Another greater war than the Crimean
came on, with still worse unprepared-
ness and maladminis tration; and he
vas one Of its victims. But in death
his words have had an influence which
they did not have in life. Many edi-
tons Of his book have appeared in
France, and we must believe that they

tween the days Of Bazane and those

Brief Ronaances
Eight Short Stories of
English Life


TIE ROMANCE OF HIS LIFE BY Mary
Mo no ,nnoff @ offGe'ay Se, Published by Dodi.
7 ME author Of Red Pottage is repre-
L. sented in the seasons catalogue Of
fiction By collection of eight short
stories gathered together under the
title The Romance Of His Life. Not
one of the octet displays an unusual
or forced situation. Each depends on
the artistry of its author for deftness
OF Characterization and dynamics Of
climax, which may be cloudy wav of
saying that Miss Cholmondelay does
not fail to live up to what one expects
of her.
The book borrows its title from the
initial story of the group contained. a
rather close study in the psychology
OF game played by two or three
young students at an English college
on an instructor. lecturer of middle
age, who is fond of boasting quietly
of his magnetism when women are con
cerned. His obsession is a mild one
with an atom of selfshness in it, The
young fellows send him letter. in
splred by one of them, purporting to
be from woman who admires him
greatly. Maitland, that is his name.
falls into the trap and replies. To the
surprise Of the inventors of the CORE
spondence, he comes to love his unmet
friend, confesses that he has been alb
surdly egotistic, humbly Graves
friendship he admits he needs to make
him true man. This is denouc-
ment unexpected, and it requires much
cogltation on the part Of the contrte
students, who realize that they have
played a shabby trick.
To give a further inkling of the
contents OF this book we turn to the
story entitled The Dark Cottage. Here
we have truly dramatic setting, a
man of eighty, living in the year 1868,
who is still blind as result of a
wound received in the trenches Of 1915.
His mind has been in a haze all through
the half century. He is cured, as to
sight and memory, and is brought sud
denly face to face with the realities of
an England of strange inventions and
still stranger laws and customs. This
clever thrusting forward into years to
come, while built largely on conjecture,
is logical in its provision of possibli-
ties and shrewd in its presentation of
the prcdicament Of a mind freed from
the shell o. an ancient habit and
brought in a flash to confronting a new
world and new conception of the
duties of man.

Thereafter she probably loved him
more than ever before. Their story
was in a measure that suggested in the
prelude of Sapho. At first he loved
her, blindly, madly, utterly, while she
was Indifferent to him or cared for him
only for what he gave her. At the last
she learned to love him with some
thing like real passion, but after ne
had become irremediably Indifferent to
her. 1t was quite in accord with the
fitness of things that she should die
while he was at Elba.
The third attraction of this volume
is found in is profuse array of illus
trations, especially the numerous por-
traits Of Napoleon. These have been
made from the great collection of Ma
poleonic prints and engravings COM
piled by the late Gardiner G. Hubbard
and now in the Library Of Congress
and from the best French collections.
These, in number, variety and interest
are noteworthy for a work of so limited
compass, and they form in themselves
little less than pictorial biography of

OF the human factor; the truth express

human heart was the starting point
in all matters pertaining to war, and
by ourselves in our latter day talk
about "the man behind the gun" This
truth is enunciated by Colonel du Pcq
himself as if for a text for his
volume:
Battle is the final objective of
armies, and man is the fundame ntal
instrument an battle. Nothing can
wisely be prescribed in an army-its
personnel. organization, discipline and
tactics, things which are connected
like the fingers of hand-wthout ex-

Now that is a universal truth, ap-

small, offensive or defensive, and it
is therefore applicable and pertinent
to every nation in the world which is
potentially subject to war; and if there
nation not thus subject, its name is
not on record. Strategy, tactics and
armament are not neglected. The au-
thor discusses them with approved
authority. But it is to the human
factor that he gives most and best
attention, and that is what makes his
