FACTS OF THE GREAT WAR
Sir, To your correspondent Mr. Casley I recommend the perusal of «?iw B M Verb 5 ooks “Politicians and the War, as being the most enlightenmg work I have so far read on the subject under discussion. He will nnd that the most critical period of the Great War has been dealt with in a frank and impartial manner, which leaves no doubt in the reader’s mind as to the lamentable state of affairs on most important occasions. I shall not attempt to quote tlrerefrom. Justice could not be done to such a work save by reading the whole volume. That hundreds of lives were needlessly thrown away, owing to lack of munitions, in the earlier stages of' the War is only one of the facts mentioned in the book, to say nothing of the bickerings and quarrels of the “heads” in Great Britain who were falling out among themselves when they should have presented a united front to the enemy. Though the author makes no serious attempt to apportion the blame, the discerning reader may “read between the lines” and form his own opinions. J.M.J.
