“A pretty story of a group of English children who lived in Santa Cruz, West Indies. Little Jill, the narrator, looks up to her brother Jack with loving admiration. The mischief they get into and the honest way they get out make delightful reading.”—Outlook.

Yellow war, by “O.” [**]$1.20. McClure.
Dramatic episodes of the war in the Far East are given here with a touch of imagination which only adds to their reality: we see things as the yellow men must see them. There are scenes of war on sea and land, scenes at the front, and at home, most of which tell of the systematic subordination and sacrifice of the individual to the system.
“It is a book which gives an excellent idea of the actors in the war.”
