Can Germany Win?

DR. FITCHETT’S views of THE WAR. One of the! best contributions to the literature of the war is made by Dr. Fitchett in “ Life ” for November. Treating the subject under three main sections, he shows very clearly, first how the challenge of Germany was met; - second, how the whole campaign is moving; and, third, the story of the battles. And his final judgment seems to be that Germany, in spite of her magnificent fighting machine, and her wonderful organisation —to both of which tribute is paid —is foredoomed to fail urefor reasons which he sets out plainly and very cleverly. Dr. Fitchett's review of the war’s progress is illustrated with many pages of fine pictures, and accompanied by several specia.l articles hearing cn the same subject —such as a personal view of the Kaiser by an Australian minister now in London ; an informative article on the geography of the war; and a description of the aerial navies of the Great Powers by W. A. Somerset, under the suggestive title, “ The Terror That Flies by Day.’ fc, But, while Life ” more than ■keeps’ abreast of the imported magazines on the war,' its general reading is not allowed suffer, and such articles as °f the Jaws of Death,” by Sir Douglas Mawson : “How I t Flew Across the A tlantic,” by Lieutenant Gran ; and “ The Sea Gangsters,” by Jack London, form a splendid issue of a first-class magazine. . The November issue, with Sir John Jeliicoe figuring on the is now on sale at all booksellers.’
