Escaping from Germany. By Edward Page. (Melrose. 4s. 6d. net.)'—Mr.

Page, a private in the reserve of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, was called, up when the war began, and sent to Dunkirk- in September, 1914, and thence to Antwerp. He was wounded in the closing days of the siege. He was captured in hospital in Antwerp, and when he was able to walk he was sent to Germany. His soberly written account of the brutal treatment that he and his comrades endured in the prison-camps should be widely read. Our officers had much to pat up with, but our privates were abomin- ably ill-used. Mr. Page escaped at the third attempt after three years of captivity.
