A Concise Chronicle of Events of the Great War. By

R. P. P. Rowe. (PhilipAllan. 10s. 6d. net.)—We can heartily commend Captain Rowe's scholarly record of the war. It is concise, clear, and accurate. There is a good index, and there •is a useful appendix of documents including the declarations of war, the " Fourteen Points," and the Armistices. Captain Rowe has earned the gratitude of students of war by giving for each date the day of the week. There are few blanks in the calendar of the crowded years to which Captain Rowe has supplied this convenient guide. His naval entries have been corrected by the Admiralty records and occasionally mention for the first time the names of the ships engaged.
