The Way of Honour. By H. Carton de Wiart. (Allen

and Unwin. 5o. net.)—Now that the Belgian Army, with French and British support, is reconquering its native soil, the patriotic addresses of the Belgian Minister of Justice, collected and translated from the French, appear opportunely. We cannot be reminded too often of the early days of the war, of the unprovoked invasion of Belgium, and of the horrible and deliberate atrocities which marked the progress of the German hordes. H. Carton de Wirart's address on " The Endurance of the Belgian People " is well worth reading. The " cold hostility " of the Belgian people has perplexed their oppressors even more than the gallant resistance of the little Belgian Army to the overwhelming German hosts.
