All through the Ypres fighting it was a conspicuous landmark well known to every soldier, and used, as things got hotter and hotter, as staff headquarters, first for corps, then for division, and finally for brigade and battalion. Strangely enough, the chateau never received a direct hit, though all the country round was ploughed up and every other building practically flattened out. The camp tales accounted for this immunity in all sorts of sinister ways. One story was that some big German personage had occupied the place. Probably these were romantic fictions. But the fact remained that "Goldfish Chateau" bore a charmed life in spite of the fact that the German sausage balloons almost looked down the chimneys and so many staffs lived there. Hundreds of thousands of men in this country who could not name half the county towns in England would be able to describe every room in this Belgian villa outside Ypres. Lancashire soldiers are well acquainted with it. During the third battle of Ypres the transport of the 55th Division had to leave the fields just opposite the chateau in a hurry. The Germans not only shelled the place searchingly, but one morning sent over about a dozen bombing planes. Simultaneous shelling and bombing is not good for the nerves of transport mules. But the luck of the "Goldfish Chateau" held. Nothing hit it. * * * * * THE ROAD TO EN-DOR By E. H. JONES, Lt, I.A.R.O. With Illustrations by C. W. HILL, Lt., R.A.F. Fourth Edition. 8s. 6d. net. This book, besides telling an extraordinary story, will appeal to everyone who is interested in spiritualism. The book reads like a wild romance, but is authenticated in every detail by fellow-officers and official documents. _Times._--"Astounding ... of great value." _Daily Telegraph._--"This is one of the most realistic, grimmest, and at the same time most entertaining books ever given to the public.... _The Road to En-dor_ is a book with a thrill on every page, is full of genuine adventure.... Everybody should read it." _Morning Post._--"It is easily the most surprising story of the escape of prisoners of war which has yet appeared.... No more effective exposure of the methods of the medium has ever been written. This book is indeed an invaluable reduction to absurdity of the claims of the spiritualist coteries." _Birmingham Post._--"The story of surely the most colossal 'fake' of modern times." _Daily Graphic._--"The most amazing story of the war." _Spectator._--"The reader who begins this book after dinner will probably be found at one o'clock in the morning still reading, with eyes goggling and mouth open, beside his cold grate." _Punch._--"It is the most extraordinary war-tale which has come my way. The author is a sound craftsman with a considerable sense of style and construction. His record of adventures is really astounding."
