A SENSATIONAL -
WAR BOOK;
ALLEGED IMMORALITY IN
THE ARMY
STORM OF PROTEST. The sensational war book written by Brigadier-General F. P. Crozier has aroused a storm of criticism.
General Crozier has outdone Re- marque in his attempt to show by lurid pen-pictures certain of the worst aspects of war, but, in that effort he has run the risk of making it appear that the whole British Army in France was both immoral
and undisciplined, says a Morning Post correspondent.
Mr. R. C. Sherriff, the famous author of "Journey's End," strong ly deprecated the growing ten dency to show the darkest side of the war picture.
"I am no advocate of glossing over unpleasant subjects," he said, "but it does seem to, me grossly unfair that only one side should be shown. As well write a book about. railway porters, and show them all as drunken and incompetent. This would be terribly unfair to a large body of workers. In the same way certain war books are just as un- fair to the British soldier."

Sick and Tired
Loyal subjects in all parts of the Empire will to-day join in wishing for His Majesty the King many more years of life and activity as the living symbol of the great British Commonwealth of which he is the head. King George to-day celebrates his 65th birthday, and although tem porary Indisposition makes it inadvisable that he should per. sonally participate in the big. public celebration in London, there will be widespread gratifica tion that His Majesty is now well on the way to complete recovery from the painful attack which he has for the past week or so had to bear.

BOLINGBROKE?
Banished by Richard II, be- cause of a well-founded fear that he aspired to the throne Henry Bolingbroke returned and gathered an army together to England a few years later
for the ostensible reason of regaining his estates from the King. His real intention soon became apparent, however, 'for he lost no time after the victory of the rebel forces to
depose and imprison Richard and seize the crown himself, the deposed King being murdered by an over- zealous, knight who took Bolingbrokee words t
too literally.
"
According to Shakespeare's magnificent plays, the king- ship seems to have brought Bolingbroke but acant joy. Conspiracy was rife in the realm, and in no long time there was open rebellion, hie- eides which, he was very much concerned about the dissolute behaviour of his son; Prince Hul, the boon companion of Sir John Falstaff. He came to the sad conclusion that "uneasy, is the bead that wears' the crown," and died a broken. and disappointed old man.
You may read about him in "Richard II, and in. "King Henry IV"-two plays aflame with the pageantry, of "old" England.
