THE "WEEKLY PRESS."

Apfirfc from war pictures, of which this week's edition of the "Weekly Press has a number of exceptionally good ones, there are many illustrations of a most interesting character. Proj minent among them is a set of views of Samoa, a place ever important to New Zealand by reason of her first military movement in this war. There are several scenes from the flourishing centre of r le Puke, an engraving or -New Brighton's Nautilus, which voyaged with the New Zealand hospital ship Marama for two and a half years, an outing of returned soldiers at Kairaki Beach, the visit of tlio Japanciso Consul to Christchurch, portraits of newly appointed Legislative Councillors, the Derby Meeting of tlio New Brighton 1 jotting Club-, and scenes at the funeral and tangi at Wanganui of a noted Maori chief. Pictures anent the war are well worthy of closc perusal. Some of them show tho skill exercised in deceiving enemy observers and air craft, the ingenuity displayed by tho Italians in building on the face of a precipice, an elaborate German dug-out-, the French spy 8010 Pasha at his trial, British troops going to the aid of the Italians, Anicrican troops on their first furlough in Paris, an impromptu band with the Anzacs in Palestine, and soldiers being instructed in England in tho driving of food production tractors.
