The " Times" Documentary History of the War. Vol. VI.
(The Times.)—This is the first part of the " Overseas " section of this in- valuable collection of documents. It relates to Canada from the end of July, 1914, to the end of the following September, when the first Canadian contingent embarked for England. The Appendix contains papers of 1908-9 and 1911 relating to the proposed Imperial General Staff and to Imperial Defence, and reports by Lord French and Sir Ian Hamilton on the Canadian forces before the war. We notice a curious protest of July 30th, 1914, by the naturalized Ukrainians at Edmonton against the participation of Great Britain in a Russo-Austrian war, on the ground that both Russia and Austria had enslaved Ukrainia. Few British people at that time had ever heard of the Ukraine, but the war has taught us many things.
