DR. FITCHETT'S BRILLIANT WAR ARTICLES

IN "^jgMay issue, just to hand, "Life," Our g Australasian magazine, gives the most adequate and most picturesque review (of the progress of the great War of any magazine, either local or imported. This is due chiefly to the. fact that Dr Fitchett—the author of " Deeds that Won the Empire"—is writing exclusively for " Life."

In a series. of fine special articles Dr Fitchett deals with the whole situation in a magnificent manner, treating first the new stage in the war which has been created by the approach of spring; second, the sea affairs of the month; third, the humours, and heroisms of the men in the trenches; fourth, the "whitewashing" feats attempted by Germany ; aud lastly, the performances of German " Kultur" as described by Germans themselves. Not a reader who wishes to keep abreast of the war should miss these articlee. These sections in "Life," it might be added, are illustrated with the pick of the photographs and drawings from the world's illustrated papers which are reproduced by special arrangement.

In addition to Dr. Fitchett's review there are many articles in " Life" by experts dealing with various phases of the great conflict. For example, a leading editor discusses the question "Is America Playing the Game ?" and his judgment, which is against America, is particularly interesting as coming, not from an outsider, but from an insider. Mr Will Irwin, that capable writer, contributes a study of " The-Imperturable Britisher," and discusses the point of whether England's calmness is a virtue or a vice.

Apart from these special features in " Life" there are the regular departments, filled, as usual, with good,reading matter and stories. So that " Life " maintains, not only its standard, but its

ample value as a, sixpenny magazine. If unobtainable locally, Is 6d sent to T. Shaw Fitchett, 376 Swanston Street. Melbourne, will bring the magazine to your home every month for three months —an experiment well worth making.
