The " Times " Documentary History of the War. Vols.
IV. and V. (15s. net each.)—The new volumes of this invaluable collection of Allied and enemy official documents relating to the war form the second part of the naval section, relating to November and December, 1914, and the first part of the military section, relating to the re- treat from Mons, the Marne, Ypres, and Antwerp. Statements in Parliament are given. The fifth volume includes the lying German statements made at the outset of the war. The fourth volume con- tains the despatches relating to the entry of Turkey into the war. The deposition of a German spy caught in Egypt shows that the enemy intended to sink a professedly neutral ship laden with cement in the Suez Canal ; fortunately the trick failed, and we have now repaid him in his own coin at Zeebrugge and Ostend.
