DR. FITCHETT ON THE WAR.

A MASTERLY STUDY. Life’s second war number (October issue) contains many good and timely things. The chief attraction, among many war features, is a masterly study of the war by Dr. W. H. Fitchett, the author of “Deeds That Won the Empire.’’ Under the general title of “The War of All the Centuries,” Dr. Fitchett writes three separate articles —one on “The Forces Behind the War,” a second on “The Scale of the War and its Strategy,” and a third on “The Study of the Actual Fighting.’’ On themes such as these Dr. Fitchett writes with telling effect —for he has three times visited the scene ot the present war, and draws on a wide knowledge of history won in writing many popular and patriotic books. “The Story of the War,’’ as retold each month by Dr. Fitchett in Life’s special war numbers, should create a big demand for this popular Australasian magazine. The October issue under review also contains the second part ot “Mawson’s Own Story” of which Life has secured the exclusive rights—as well as several other excellent war articles. Life sells locally for sixpence, and any of our readers keenly interested in the war who miss Life for October will be the losers.
