ANOTHER WAR BOOK.

PRAISE BY REVIEWERS.

ANONYMOUS AUTHOR

Received February 24, 9.20 a.m. LONDON, Feb. 23. Reviewers are praising the latest war book, “War Is War,” by ExPrivate “X.” Mr R. C. Sherriff, . who wrote “Journey’s End,” describes the book as the English “All Quiet on the 'Western Front.” . The author of “War Is War” bitterly criticises the staff officers, rails against war and attacks the Australians. He says: “I am sorry the Australians were on our side. I met some very good ones, but their black sheep achieved extraordinary prominence. They were brave men on the whole, but not nearly such fine fellows as they boasted of being. They ‘kidded’ the simple people into believing their brag. “Still, I must say this for them—they did kill a few of our military police.”
