STEAD’S REVIEW.

j Stead’s Review has come to he ro- ! garded as the best-informed periodical I in Australia on war and this | is due entirely to the inside knowledge j .Mr. Henry Stead obtained of European j affairs during many years’ travel on the

j Continent.. Ho is able to tell his readJ ers of things a s they were actually seen j by him, not as other people have seen ] them for him. Especially interesting, j in the current number (December Bth, j (id) are his comments on the Russian | situation and the psychology of the Rus ! sians. He leaves his readers in no ! doubt concerning the seriousness of the l position due to the retirement of the Russians from the conflict. Alhough all t-lie old interesting features are maintained a new one is started in the shape of a serial story by Rex Beach. This | well-known writer’s books are very popular in Australia, and no doubt his new story will bo warmly welcomed. ! Tt deals with the stirring doings during the early days of the Klondike, and is ‘ titled “Winds of Chance.” No less j than 18 pages of the magazine are devoted to thi s tale. Other features of | note are a short article on the Conscript i ion Referendum, reproductions of carj toons from all over the world and special articles on How Germany Financed the War. A World Famine, The Natural is|ed Man in America, What Are Wo I Fighting For?, and prepare for Peace j Nmv Altogether a most interesting j and valuable journal, which depicts for j us the true position in Europe in a uni- ! quo manner.
