General Lord Wolsely makes a most
important contribution to the litera
ture of the China-Japan war. To an
article for the February Cosmopolitan,
he discusses the situation and does not
mince matters in saying what China
must do in this emergency. Two other
noted foreign authors contribute inter-
esting articles to this number. Rosita
Mauri, the famous Partisan danseuse,
gives the history of the ballet, and
Emile Olivier tells the story of the fall
of Louis Philippe. From every part of
the world, drawings and photographs
have been obtained of the instruments
used to torture poor humanity, and ap-
pear as illustrations for clever article
by Julian Hawthorne. entitled "Salva-
ton via the Rack" Mrs. Reginald de
Koven, Anatole France, w. Clark Rus

tellers for the February number of The
