1914. By Viscount French of Ypres. (Constable. 21s. net.) —Lord

French's account of the British operations in France and Flanders in 1914, which appeared recently in the Daily Telegraph, has now been published in book form, with maps and a very friendly Preface by Marshal Foch. We have commented more than once on the sharp criticisms in which Lord French has indulged at the expense of Mr. Asquith, Lord Kitchener, Sir H. Smith-Dorrien, and others who were closely associated with him in those critical months. Readers who desire particu- Lars of Lord French's part in this unseemly controversy may be referred to the hook.
