g sense of humor amid dreadful and depressing
conditions are the salient features of this little book. The
author, who preserves her anonymity, has been "over the top"
in the fullest sense. She has faced bombardments and aerial
raids, she has calmly removed her charges under fire, she has
tended the wounded and dying amid scenes of carnage and
confusion, and she has created order and comfort where but a
short time before all was chaos and suffering. And all the
while she marvels at the uncomplaining fortitude of others,
never counting her own. Many unusual experiences have
befallen this "war nurse" and she writes of them all in a
gripping, vivid fashion.

Victor Chapman's Letters from France

_Illustrated, $2.00_

Victor Chapman was studying architecture in Paris when the
war broke out and at once he joined the French Foreign
Legion. A year later he was transferred to the Aviation Corps
and went to the front as pilot in the American Escadrille.
This volume comprises his letters written to his family,
covering the full period of his service from September, 1914,
to a few days before his death. "They are," says the _New
York Times_ in commenting on them, "graphic letters that show
imaginative feeling and unusual faculty for literary
expression and they are filled with details of his daily life
and duties and reflect the keen satisfaction he was taking in
his experiences. He knew many of those Americans who have won
distinction, and some of them death, in the Legion and the
Aviation Service, and there is frequent reference to one or
another of them.... In few of the memorials to those who have
laid down their lives in this war is it possible to find
quite such a sense of a life not only fulfilled but crowned
by its sacrifice, notwithstanding its youthfulness, as one
gets from this tribute to Victor Chapman."
