despair Of ever conveying to paper

End" has such exquisite simplicity,
such quiet honesty, such forceful
character that it Is felt through every
fibre of your being.
r. G. Sheriff, the author, does not
let Journeys End" shout at you,
shock you. incite you. It doesn't
boom or rant or preach, but 1t tears
at your vitals and fingers in your
mind! Those mel in that British

frightfully real-and when the shell
bursts on the dug-ou roof and the
last of them finds his journeys end,
they will continue to stay with you.
They do not stay to torture you.
Rather they seem to be telling you
that their journeys end "a a haven

to do. War was their penance, death
their release.

Some divisions have been able to
maintain the interest and support of
the community" said Capt Blakely,
land it has been evident that these
divisions are usually above the average
in efficiency and morale. The board
feels that substantial progress is being
made in Naval Reserve aviation and
that this progress will be continued
during the next year as the result of
the acquisition of additional new air
craft of the service type and the adop-
ton of a system of consolidated drills
Unit commanders should be re-
quired to use every effort to train and
drill their organizations as practical
units, placing emphasis on squadron
organizations, in order that their COM
manus may be called to active duty in
national emergency with a minimum
amount of refreSher training.

it had decided the two different kinds
of work of wrecking buildings, on the
one hand, and of grading for parks on
the other, were so different that it
would be better to split the contract in
stead of letting it to one firm.
Specifications for filling the cellars
and depressionS in the area are exact

the land will not sink after it is seeded
to grass. For the present the area will
be turned into parkway of level grass.
