"The Eoad Back," Remarque's sequel to ''AH Quiet," is the story of the soldier's return to civil life. It has been translated find will tie published in full, unabridged and finally revised, by Messrs. Putnam, who were also the publishers of "All Quiet.'" The same firm are also publishing the translation of a new German war-book called "The Cross Beavers." This they describe as a plain, cold-blooded account of life in the.German back lines as seen-by a Ked Cross orderly. "Soldiers and Women," by Otto Wendlcr (George Allen and Umvih, Ltd.), has little to commend it, either as literature or as a psychological study. It describes the lives of several men in the same platoon and the tragedies that arose from the enforced separation of the sexes during the war. As the blurb says: "Some of the episodes shock in their brutal directness."
