SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.

[Notice in this column does not necessarily previa& cubsepoed review.) Whams' A.B.C. of the Great War. Compiled by E. W. Colbrook. (Odhams. 6s. net.)—This book of reference to persons, places, and ships mentioned in connexion with the war has been prepared in an unsystematic fashion and the entries are often far from complete. Nevertheless it may be useful in finding the dates when places were taken or lost or when particular ships were sunk. The names of most of those who gained the Victoria Cross are included.
