ADMIRAL SIMS’S The Victory at Sea (World War).

BRAND WHITLOCK’S Belgium (World War).

RAY STANNARD BAKER’S Woodrow Wilson and World Settlement.

Ambassador Morgenthau’s Story (World War).

Memories of a Turkish Statesman, 1913-1919, by DJEMAL PASHA. A very spirited account, well-written; almost unique as a book from the Turkish side. Interesting in its contradictions of Morgenthau.

An Ambassador’s Memoirs, by MAURICE PALEOLOGUE. By the last French Ambassador to Russia. Volume I. covers July 3, 1914-June 2, 1915; Volume II. continues to August 18, 1916.

LAURANCE LYON’S The Pomp of Power and his When There Is No Peace, both published anonymously. The author is in close touch with French policy.

Old Diplomacy and New: 1876-1922: From Salisbury to Lloyd George, by A. L. KENNEDY.

The Drama of Sinn Fein, by SHAW DESMOND. A new and pretty complete history.

The Life of Sir William Harcourt, by A. G. GARDINER. Harcourt was born before Victoria ascended the throne and he outlived her; Mr. Gardiner brings unusual talents to what becomes less a biography of one man than a portrayal of an era.
