(See discount offer on page 232) � ORDER THROUGH THE U. S. FIELD ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION 1218 Connecticut Ave., Washington, D. C. I SAW THE FALL OF THE PHILIPPINES. By Col. Carlos P. Romulo. 323 pp.; photographs. Doubleday, Doran & Co., Inc. $3.00. Two months before Pearl Harbor, the editor and publisher of the DMHM chain of Philippine newspapers made a personal survey (at the request of his personal friend, Gen. MacArthur) of conditions in Hong Kong, Chungking, Burma, Thailand, French Indo-China, British Malaya, and Java. His mission was to learn the attitude of the subject peoples to the sovereign ABCD powers. A brief account of his findings aptly introduces this book; his full dispatches on the Far Eastern situation won him the Pulitzer Prize. Just after war came to Manila he was appointed a major in the Philippine Army Reserve, inducted into our service, and put at the immediate side of his close friend the USAFFE commander, in charge of press and radio. Until Quezon and MacArthur were removed from Corregidor he was always near these old friends, completely in their confidence. He made frequent visits into the front lines of Bataan; was present when Base Hospital No. 1 was deliberately bombed by the Japs; and was flown off Bataan in the crippled "Old Duck" in the early hours of April 9th—day of the surrender of the peninsula. Col. Romulo's stark tale is gripping. There have been magnificent dispatches and other accounts of some of the events he relates, but none surpass I Saw the Fall of the Philippines—which fairly makes you see the scenes and smell the stenches. You should read it, by all means. MODERN JUDO. By Charles Yerkow. 295 pp.; illustrated. The Military Service Publishing Co. $2.00. Not tricks, but the fundamentals of close combat are the theme of this book. These basic principles are developed in logical sequence, so that by carefully working through the book with an equally enthusiastic partner, you learn them even without the personal help of a skilled instructor. 391 photos clarify the textual matter, so that a rounded explanation is given of every detail. It's a swell book, and deserves a lot of attention and use. ILLUSTRATION CREDITS (If not listed, unsigned illustrations are from authors, by the Journal staff, or from special sources.
