HOW PARIS WAS SAVED.

REMARKABLE MARNE BATLLE INCIDENT.

In "La Véritable Histoir des Taxis de la Marne (Chspelot, Paris, 25. 61) Commandant H. Care tells the stirring history of ore of the most re- . markable incidents in the first battle. of the Marce, when help at s post critical moment was brought up to. Mannonry's army in its despera'ê surgle with Kluck by a hastily re- quisitioted fore of Paris taxicabs,

General Maunoury, in a preface, vouches alike for the exactitude and the charm of the narrative.. This is, inderd, cae of the very best of war books, full of humour and also of direct touches which bring home the friwress of battle. It places the ren- der on the field, at one of the greatest moments of all history.

The French 7th Divizica received Manccury's arders in the evening of September to arrive at 4 a.m. next day at Betz, in order to carry out the violent offensive on the Ourcq against the Germans. But Betz was 30.
