"OVER THE TOP" GONE FOR GOOD
When there is dirty work at the cross-roads in the next war it will not be the infantryman who will bear the brunt of it. Armoured mobile units will lead the attacks.
"No longer will he be sent over the top to hurl his manly but un- protected chest against the barb- ed wire, concrete machine-gun em- placements, land mines, barrages and bombs. He hopes for more consideration next time and he is entitled to expect it."
That is part of an encouraging verbal picture drawn by Lt.Col. T. A. Lowe, D.S.O., M.C., in "The Citizen Soldier," (Hutchinson, 5s.)
Secrecy
Colonel Lowe is one of six ex- pert
to the book, contributors which is fairly described as a com- plete manual of the latest innova- tions in Territorial training..
The importance of Air Defence, now entirely in the hands of the Territorial Army, is stressed.

LIFEBOAT OUT -FOR PANTS
Lifeboatmen of Deal and Walmer leapt to their stations when they saw an open boat two miles out to sea flying signals of distress at the masthead.
Out went the lifeboats, ploughing through the heavy seas which at times could be seen washing over the boat and its five occupants.

British shipbuilding companies may soon establish building yards in Canada.
So certain is Scotland Yard of its facts that the gang is known to come from east of Aldgate.
Scotland Yard also badly wants the high-powered American-make car the thieves use. It hides away in a side street and to it is driven the stolen car with its cargo of furs.
