THE TRUE STORY OF THE “EMDEN.”

‘‘Life” for March, just out, has a fascinating story of the fight between tho “Sydney” and the “Emden.” It seems that after Muller surrendered and was taken aboard tho “Sydney” the rival commanders spent a lot of time preparing an exact diagram of the fight. This diagram is published by “Life,” as well as the account of tho now famous sea-duel as told by Captain Glossop himself to the writer. It is the most intimate story of Australia’s first naval victory yet told. Other adventures less familiar but no less thrilling are related by an airpilot who, in “Wild Advntures in tho Air,” gives a wonderful account of how tho British air service is conducted, and the experiences through which its members have to pass. These are two of the. best features of the March issue of “ Life.” Other outstanding items are, of course, Dr. Fitchett’s own review of the fighting of the month, a reprint of Lord Northcliffe’s description of the Red Cross at work, and a review of John Masefield’s magnificent tale of Gallipoli. Each of the departments of "Life” contributes something c*f value to one’s store of information, making this many-sided magazine more than ever welcome. Raders who are unable to secure “Life” locally may do so by sending 4/6 for a half-year’s subscription to the office of the publisher, T. Shaw Fitchett, 37G Swantou Street, Melbourne.
