A MASTERLY WAR-STUDY.

"Life" for October comes out just in time to celebrate the most important events that have occurred in the War for the last "18 months. This decisive turn in the tide of affairs gives Dr Fitchett an opportunity for a masterlyreview of the situation, and a clear, picfcureque description of the manner in which the Allies have laid, and are pushing, their strategy, In his first section Dr Fitchett gives a list of the seventeen Declarations of War that have been made, and indicates the value of the new Declarations, summing up at the same time the unhappy positio n that Greece occupies among the Balkan States. As a whole, this review of the War in " Ivife " gives to the busy man a wonderfully luminous and comprehensive study of the entire field of operatia ns. Among the special artiqles, a cqntribution by Owen Johnson—the welUknown known American novelist-ogives us an intimate picture of trench warfare such as our own troops are now engaged in; whilst Boyd Gable adds a three-page story of the kind that has made him one of the most pqpular writers evqlved by the War.

As usual, the various departments of this busy man's magazine, are cratnm. ed full of valuable information. If " L,ife " is unobtainable locally, a 4/Q postal nqt,e sent to T, Shaw Fitchett, 3?6 Swanston Street, Melbourne, will bring it to any address post free for six months,
