WARE WOLF ! By E. Lascefles Forester. (Cassell. 7s... - -6ii.)--The author

of this :book tries to reconcile the old Were Wolf legend with modern science and constructs a romance on this subject which' has as a background the con- spiracy for a world revolution on which so many post-War novels have been founded. It cannot be said that the explanation of the frequent appearances of an Alsatian wolf- hound or of actual wolves being caused by hypnotism is entirely convincing. The reader will be MOre than a little puzzled also when in the last few pages a real Alsatian wolf- hound is introduced, to be met by the heroine, not un- naturally, with cries of alarm. The book is full of plots and counter-plots, murders, kidnappings, and adventures of all sorts, and, althOugh it 'makes an excessive demand on the reader's credulity, it is entertaining.
