The Last Lap. By "G." (A. Melrose. 20. 6d. net.)—These
well-informed and cheerful articles, which appeared in the Morning Post, explain how and why we are winning the war on the Western Front, and show that we have simply to continue our efforts in order to secure a complete victory over an enemy who knows that he is beaten. For the "dismal Jemmies " we prescribe them as an unfailing cure. "U." describes the military situation clearly, and avoids all the political recrimination which at this stage of the war is wearisome and meaningless. It is long since we read anything in the Morning Poet that gave us so much satis- faction as these articles, and we cannot help expressing the wish that the editor would allow his criticism of war policy and war problems to be more often informed by the good temper and simplicity which " a" displays.
