§ Major H. TERRELLasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the War Council have considered the advisability of making arrangements to have General Foch's book, "Les Principes de l'Art de la Guerre," translated into English for the instruction of British officers, the great majority of whom have had no opportunities of receiving instruction in the principles of war?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am informed that the book mentioned does not contain information which is not already embodied in our own books, and, as my hon. and gallant Friend will appreciate, it is very undesirable that the large number of books which officers already have to study should be, increased.
