WAR DIARY SECRETS OF LORD RAWLINSON.
L
THE KING AND "K."
Secrets of Lord Rawlinson's war diary and war time letters to the Earl of Derby and others, includ: ing sharp criticism of Mr. Lloyd George, are disclosed in "The Life of General. Lord Rawlinson of Trent, from his journals and let ters, edited by Major-General Sir Frederick Maurice, and published by Cassell (26x.).
Rawlinson, who died in India in 1925, at the age of sixty-one, lives in history as the commander of the Fourth Army, and subsequently the defender of Amiens against the German attack of 1918, and the leader of victorious onslaughts in the last days of the war. He is, the first of the Army leaders whose diaries have been-in part-die- closed.
He was the friend of Kitchener from the time of the South African War, and was on terms of firm companionship with Haig. Но thus resented attacks on either, and his resentment is embodied in his diary and letters.
One or two stories of King Ed ward and the present King are also interesting fentures of the book.
Rawlinson came home with Kit- thener after the South African War, and the present King, then Prince of Wales, received them st St. James' Palace, King Edward being ill

"I ehall have travelled close on 30,000 miles by the time I get back, which isn't bad for nearly 80," he Ring said.
Rawlinson's diary for February 20th, 1918, has this entry: "My birthday; and I enter my fifty-fifth year. To celebrate the occasion I had breakfast with the King and Queen, tête-a-tête. Only Majesty, the Queen, and Princess Mary present. They were extreme- ly kind and pleasant, and gave me Bwhiting and some marmalade for breakfast.

Ideas About The War. Rawlinson was one of the people to whom K" would really talk, and he records on January 31st, 1915:-

Next day Bawlinson wrote in bis diary:-
Orders to hand to attack Menin. Just as 7th Division was proceeding to attack, heavy Ger- man columne came down on my flank from the east. Extricated the division with 150 casualties. In December 1018 Rawlinson came home with Haig. An address of welcome to Haig at Dover was suggested, and Rawlinson states:
He has had immense dificulties to contend with, which have not bech made easier by the leader of the Expeditionary Force [French]; but he resents nothing, has kept his temper under the most trying conditions, and, ised too broad-minded to allow these petty differences to make any al- teration in his attitude towards those who have given him every provocation.
No one appreciates and realises this more than the King, with whom I had one and a quarter hour's very confidential conversa- tion to-night. I was not a little surprised to find how much his Majesty knew, and how sound his views were in matter which I should not have thought would have come before him,
"Rawly," commanded the army corps that made the attack on Neuve Chapelle. This was follow- ed by the First Army's attack on Fromelles and the bottle of Festubert, leading to the abelis controversy.
"This attack on K.," wrote Raw linson, is perfectly monstrous, and has raised us out here to a pitch of fury. It is a disbolical plot. V
He said he would agree if all his Army commanders were to come with him. The result has been a proposal for an official re- ception in London. The War Cabinet objected: but the King stepped in and said if they didn't. do it he would receive us himself. It is very petty of L.G. to treat D.H. like this Some of the old friction has been renewed over the question of the treatment of disabled officers and men. The home coming generali lunch.
