  The books by this young artillery officer have probably given the English speaking world a better understanding of the intimate details of the Great War than anything else that has been written. Cast for the most part in the form of fiction, and written for the most part within sound of the German guns, they have an atmosphere of reality that no mere work of the imagination can possess. BETWEEN THE LINES Net $1.50 An attempt to convey the living humor or the glory that lies between the lines of the cold and formal official despatch. ACTION FRONT Net $1.35 These are the words that swing the muzzles of the advancing guns towards the enemy. More stories that give you a respect for Thomas Atkins that borders on affection. DOING THEIR BIT Net $1.00 A vivid description of the way the munition workers in Britain are backing the boys in the trenches. GRAPES OF WRATH Net $1.50 Twenty-four hours of a "big push." What it feels like to be a private soldier for just one day of a modern battle. As heart lifting as the Battle Hymn of the Republic from which the title is taken. E. P.
