ARE THE ALLIES REALLY WINNING?

Once more, in Life for August, Dr. Fitchett gives us, a wonderful review of the fighting pf the month in Europe and on the sea. In the course of one section of this review Dr. Fitchett frankly admits that the month has been one of disappointments. In his usual vigorous and picturesque style Dr. Fitchett then outlines the fighting of the month on both fronts and in Gallinpoli. Having done so, he proceeds to point out the bright spots in the landscape and to analyse the disap' pointments. The result is that he shows us very clearly that in reality the balance during the month has tipped in the Allies' favour. It is a practical and heartening pronouncement that gives the reader a wonderfully clear-eyed view of the war. Eeaders of this August issue of Life wil! notice that the editor is by means devoting his entire space to the war; on the contrary, we find such illustrated articles as "Morrissey of the Snakes,'* illustrated with some remarkable photograps, and telling of the adventures cf that widely known character, who says of himself: "I reckon I'm the chap that they wrote the proverb about that 'a rollin' stone gathers no moss.' '' The departments in Life are. as usual, fill'od with good things for the busy man. If Life is unobtainable locally, a 3/ postal note sent to T. Shaw Fitchett, 37G Swanston Street, Melwill bring it by post for six months.
