THE FIELD ARTILLERY JOURNAL WEST POINT IN OUR NEXT WAR. By Maxwell Van Zandt Woodhull, A.M., late Lieutenant Colonel and Assistant Adjutant General 15th Army Corps and Army of the Tennessee, Brevet Brigadier General United States Volunteers. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York. Price, $1.25. This book draws its name from General Woodhull's proposition to enormously expand West Point, and to draw therefrom the officers to train a large army obtained by conscription. His position is evidenced by the following quotation: "Let us give up the present fruitless method of recruitment of the Regular Army, and accept the necessary and the inevitable policy of conscription, which rests upon the principle of the natural obligation of every citizen to serve his country in peace or in war, for the creation and the maintenance of our armies and our reserve armies. Conscription is the most democratic, the fairest, the most equal, and the only logical method of raising and maintaining modern armies." THE BOMBARDMENT OF FORT SUMTER, 1861. By Oliver Lyman Spaulding, Jr., Captain 4th Field Artillery, U. S. Army. Reprinted from the Annual Report of the American Historical Association for 1913, Volume I. Pamphlet. No price given. Captain Spaulding was at one time editor of THE FIELD ARTILLERY JOURNAL, and is an officer who has written largely of the activities of his arm. This short historical study of one of the most dramatic moments of our history is careful, complete, and yet eminently easy to read. It is a pleasure to find, among the enormous masses of publications which see the light in this age of the busy printing press, a modest pamphlet presenting a professional study by a real authority. THE SERVICE OF INFORMATION, United States Army. By Brigadier General George P. Scriven, Chief Signal Officer of the Army. Government Printing Office, 1915. Government publication. This circular, issued by the Signal Office, is a complete and timely compilation of the history, organization, and activities of the Signal Corps. At such a time as this, when the whole country is interested but uninstructed in military matters, the publication of such an authoritative document must be to the greatest interest of any arm or corps. 148
BOOK REVIEWS This book includes the most careful notes on the organization of the telegraph troops and the flying corps of all the principal foreign armies. These notes alone would establish its value. It is doubtful whether there has ever been published in this country such a complete study of the activities of any particular corps in foreign armies. ROADSIDE GLIMPSES OF THE GREAT WAR. By Arthur Sweetser. The Macmillan Company, New York, 1916. Illustrated. Price, $1.50. Here is a record of personal experiences during the great German drive on Paris. The author, in the first mad days of the war, worked his way north to the west of the battle line, and succeeded eventually in completing a bicycle trip from the Belgian border to Paris, passing through both hostile lines. He got out of this trip some very vivid impressions and a German pass to Paris, which may some day be a document of considerable historic interest. Professional readers of this book will envy the author his opportunities for observation, opportunities which are perhaps inevitably denied them. It has been stated as a curious fact that the proportion of professional soldiers privileged to see a part of this great world war, is much smaller than the proportion of other American citizens who have at least glimpsed it. SELF-HELPS FOR THE CITIZEN SOLDIER. By Captain James A. Moss, 29th U. S. Infantry, and Merch B. Stewart, 5th U. S. Infantry. Illustrated by Lieutenant W. E. Larner, 5th U. S. Infantry. George Banta Publishing Co., Menasha, Wis. Price, $1.25. This is a valuable introduction to things military for the uninstructed citizen, free from the many shop expressions that mean much to the initiate but are puzzling to the novice. It should have a ready sale in these days when interest in military matters is sweeping the country. For the regular officer it is not without interest, as many old subjects are presented in a new and readable light. 149
