The Motor - Bus in War. By A. M. Beateon. (T. Fisher

Unwin. 5s. net.)—This plain narrative of the experiences of an Army Service Corps officer attached to the Mechanical Transport Service will, we think, help readers to realize the importance and com- plexity of the work performed by the " Army behind the Army."

It may be inferred from this that the Army Motor Transport Service alone is a tremendous affair.
