This official and amazingly cynical War Book of the Prussian General Staff lays down the rules to be followed by German officers in the conduct of War in the field, e.g., as to non-combatants, forced levies, neutrals, hostages. Its importance and interest cannot be exaggerated. FRANCE IN DANGER By PAUL VERGNET. Translated by BEATRICE BARSTOW. _Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d. net._ Monsieur Paul Vergnet in this book did for the French Public what Professor Cramb did for England. After a careful study of the Political Movements In Germany, and of German literature, he warned his countrymen that War was imminent. His aspect of the question has never been fully discussed in England, and the translation of this book ought to have a very special interest and value for all students of the Great War. WAR, ITS CONDUCT AND ITS LEGAL RESULTS Including a critical examination of the whole of the emergency legislation (with a chapter on Martial Law); a chapter on the Neutrality of Belgium; a survey of the Rules as to the Conduct of War on Land and Sea, and a complete study of the Effect of War on Commercial Relations. By THOMAS BATY, LL.D., D.C.L., and Professor J. H. MORGAN. _Crown 8vo._ IN WESTERN CANADA BEFORE THE WAR A STUDY OF COMMUNITIES By E. B. MITCHELL. _With Map. Crown 8vo._ This is an attempt to describe truly the social and economic state of things in the Prairie Provinces of the Dominion in the years 1913-14, at the end of the great rush. The writer, who is neither a summer visitor nor a professional advertiser, nor a disappointed immigrant, had unusual opportunities for the study of life in a small prairie city and among the real prairie people on the farms; the picture drawn is neither all gloom nor all brightness. At the present time, when the War has made the whole Empire realize its unity anew, such a disinterested study of Western communities is specially useful and timely. LONDON: JOHN MURRAY
