THE "WEEKLY PRESS."

The critics who have asked why tho Allies don't bombard German towns as reprisals to enemy attacks will find an answer in the illustrated pages of the "Weekly Press" this week. A plan there engraved shows tho number of Allied air raids on towns in the first three months of the year; and the work goas on. Germany's menace in the East is indicated by a map showing the proximity of enemy countries and occupied territories in Russia and Palestine, Persia, and India, and the area in tho Far Last from which Japanese interests aro threatened. A third map conveys, by way of the German view of tho control of middle Europe in the scheme of world domination, and the three maps studied together assist greatly to a better understanding of the Allies' efforts to spoil the Huns' plans. Of the war pictures a series "With the Australians on the Western Front" is most interesting. Some of the fiendish work of the Jbtun is memorised by the illustration of the torpedoed hospital ship Glenart Ca6tle. which is the seventh sunk in breach of the German pledpe, and there is a miscellaneous collection, including New Zealanders in hospitals in England, a French motor-driven trench digger, a march of the English land cirls, and one of the latest type of U-boats. A number of New Zealand subjects are engraved, and are very appropriate at the present time in the important work of maintaining the timber and agricultural industries.
