Harvard men will read John Gallishaw's "Trenching at Gallipoli," (The Century Co.,; $1.30) with interest, because it tells of a Harvard man's part in the world war; and because it is the product of English 12. "Of all that Harvard has given me," reads the dedication, "I value most the friendship and confidence of 'Copey.'" The book is one of a steadily increasing number whose authors credit a good part of their ability to Professor Copeland's teaching.

Mr. Gallishaw's is not one of the great books of the war. It lacks the skill of the professional writer, the humor and insight of the trained observer, which we find in "The First Hundred Thousand." It is however, a thoroughly good piece of work for a novice at journalism. Primarily a personal narrative it succeeds in giving a picture of the methods of fighting "Johnny Turk," and a general idea of that most splendid of failures, the Gallipoli campaign. The framework of the story is the brilliant career of the First Newfoundland Regiment, from which the author was parted only by a wound, leading to his honorable dismissal from the service. Anecdotes of other regiments and of brave comrades, tales of heroic deeds, and convincing description round out the tale.

The author takes us from the recruiting office on our own side of the Atlantic to the training camps of England, and thence to Gallipoli. We see the troops land and watch them fighting in the trenches and in "no-man's land," or trying to rest in their dug-outs. We grow to admire the British Tommy--Scotchman, Irishman, Newfoundlander, Canadian, Anzac or city-bred Londoner; and to respect the heathen Turk, his honest enemy.

It is good for us, who are still at peace to keep before ourselves the bitter likeness of war. Mr. Gallishaw, by his able writing, makes the picture easy to look at.
