The illustrations in this week's issue of the "Sporting and Dramatic Review" are well up to their usual high standard. The frontispiece,- "His Comrade's Grave," is particularly appealing, while stirring scenes depict Anzacs in London, Russian training, Lord Kitchener's memorial at Home, London's tribute to naval victims, Britain's mastery of the Jiiiy Australians in trenches, and numerous other sidelights on the-theatre of .. .war. Special space is devoted'to views of the Russian offensive; "aiid the usual portrait gallwy of wounded soldiers also appears with snapshots of the monument erected over tho graves ot tho fallen. There is also a miscellaneous assortment of subjects. which' give, variety to an exceptionally attractive issuc.^-Advt..
