SOME BOOKS OF THE W EEK.
[Under this headingtee notiee such Book. of tho web no haw tut Dona toonwoot (Sr ether Jams.] The British Army How it is Made and Used. By W. G. Clifford. (Keith, Prowse, and Co. ls.)—In the course of arranging for the production of the "British Army film," which has lately been so popular a success, Mr. Clifford had many opportunities of studying our modern Army alike in peace and in mimic war. He has turned these opportunities to excellent account by writing what he modestly calls "the story of a great film," but what is really a most interesting sketch of the soldier's daily life and work. Its purpose—to make the reader determine to see the film for himself on the first possible occasion—is efficiently carried out, if we may judge by ourselves. But the booklet is so well and enthusi- astically written that it should also serve in itself to stimulate public interest in our Army. As a spectator was heard to say at the cinematograph, "The British Army is all right—the pity is there is not more of it."
