HOW THE WAR TIDE IS RUNNING

DR. FITCHETT, in the April number of "Life,"'is very confident that the tide of war has turned and is beginning to run strongly in favour of the Allies^ He does not appear to think that "the war is ended, or "even that the end is in sight, but his opinion is that the effect on the whole war of the Russian victories in Asia Minor, and the German repulses at Verdun, will be immediately felt. One section of Dr Fitchett's History of the Month, in " Life," deals with the Verdun attack ; another is devoted to " The Bewildering Geography of the War " ; a third to " Some of the Surprises and Puzzles of the Great War" and still another to a review of Sir lan Hamilton's famous despatch describing what he calls " The Great Adventure of Gallipoli," The general articles in "Life" are particularly timely and well illustrated, while the regular departments are well maintained.

" Life " is sold locally for sevenpence,. but if unobtainable a postal note for 3/6 sent to T. Shaw Fitchett, 376 Swanston Street, Melbourne, will bring it by post for six months.
