WHAT HAPPENED TO THE "EMDEN?"

SPECULATION has been rife for many months as to the ultimate fate of the Emden. Hopes were entertained that she would be refloated and towed to Sydney, and a mild discussion arose in some quarters as to whether, in the event of her remains being exhibited as a national mamorial, the feelings of another nation might not be wounded " after the war." All doubts are, however, set at rest by an article in the February issue of " Life." The writer Yi. A Somerset, tells of a trip to Keeling Island, and describes the condition of the wreck as absolutely hopeless. Many interesting sidelights on the fight are and many photographs. This, however^ is only one of ten special articles that mark the February issue of " Life " as perhaps the best number of that popular magazine ever printed. On top of these ppecial articles are the regular departments, full, as usual, of good things. Certainly the rise in price to ?d has been more than justified by the bill of contents.

If " Life " is unobtainable locally, 3/6 sent to " Life," Swanson Street, Melbourne, will bring it every month by post for six months.
