The cable mossago published a few days ago, stating that Miss Flora Sandes is a patient in a camp for wounded Serbians at Salonika, recalls interest in her recently-published book, "An Englishwoman sergeant in tho Serbian Army," in which the authoress described her adventures as a Serbian soldier during 1915. Originally she went out to that distressed little country as a nurse. Her book ia fine—a simple, but graphically-told , narrativo which gives ono a better picture of> Serbia and its people than the more pretentious literature of the war. Her work is very clean-cut, aitd, although she does not tell one in her book that the soldiers "worshipped her," or made hor a figure of romance, yet one can imagine the heartening influence of such a lino type of Englishwoman as Miss Sandes amongst tho war-har-ried soldiers. The experiences in her book mostly dealt with the Serbian retreat of 1915, and was written while on furlough. It closed with a, hope that she would soon bo back again with the Serbian Army, and evidently sho has had her wish. BarradougVs Nervine stops Toothache.—Advt.
