o the war and drove an
ambulance car in the Verdun and Champagne sectors. He tells
exactly what he saw and heard in the American Ambulance
Corps, bringing his story down to August, 1917. His accounts
are modest, interesting, sometimes amusing--always vivid.

War books by soldiers are very popular these days. The
author-fighter has contributed some of the most informing
volumes that have been issued on the great conflict. Of all
of those who have been to the front and have returned to
write about it, no one, perhaps, has had more unusual
experiences than fell to the lot of this youth. He has
written a book in which he tells what happened to him and his
immediate associates; a book that is remarkable for the
thrilling character of its narrative, the spirit of good
humor, of adventure and excitement which runs through it.

Mr. Bryan had his kodak with him and his text is illustrated
with many altogether unusual pictures, giving a new and clear
idea as to the war and its method of prosecution.

_MASEFIELD'S NEW WAR BOOK_

The Old Front Line

BY JOHN MASEFIELD

_Illustrated. Cloth, 12mo. $1.00_

What Mr. Masefield did for the Gallipoli Campaign, he now
does for the Campaign in France. His subject is the old front
line as it was when the battle of the Somme began. His
account is vivid and gripping--a huge conflict seen through
the eyes of a great poet, this is the book.

Of the importance of the battle, Mr. Masefield writes:

"The old front line was the base from which the battle
proceeded. It was the starting place. The thing began there.
It was the biggest battle in which our people were ever
engaged, and so far it has led to bigger results than any
battle of this war since the Battle of the Marne. It caused a
great falling back of the enemy armies. It freed a great
tract of France, seventy miles long, by from ten to
twenty-five miles broad. It first gave the enemy the
knowledge that he was beaten."
