┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ BOOKS _by_ BOYD CABLE │ ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ The books by this young artillery officer have probably given the │ │ English speaking world a better understanding of the intimate │ │details of the Great War than anything else that has been written. │ │Cast for the most part in the form of fiction, and written for the │ │most part within sound of the German guns, they have an atmosphere │ │ of reality that no mere work of the imagination can possess. │ │ │ │ BETWEEN THE LINES _Net $1.50_ │ │ │ │ An attempt to convey the living humor or the glory that │ │lies _between the lines_ of the cold and formal official despatch. │ │ │ │ ACTION FRONT _Net $1.50_ │ │ │ │ These are the words that swing the muzzles of the advancing guns │ │towards the enemy. More stories that give you a respect for Thomas │ │ Atkins that borders on affection. │ │ │ │ DOING THEIR BIT _Net $1.25_ │ │ │ │A vivid description of the way the munition workers in Britain are │ │ backing the boys in the trenches. │ │ │ │ GRAPES OF WRATH _Net $1.50_ │ │ │ │ Twenty-four hours of a “big push.” What it feels like to be a │ │ private soldier for just one day of a modern battle. As heart │ │ lifting as the _Battle Hymn of the Republic_ from which the title │ │ is taken. │ ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ E. P.
