 The Pall Mall Magazine for July has number of excellent features, the table of contents covering a wide field of good selection. Among the leading articles are: Naval Problems to be Solved in the War" by H. w. Wilson; "The Evolution of Comfort in Railway Travelling" part II, by August Sin clair; Crime" by J. Holt Schooling; 'The Ship Her Story" by Clark Rus sell; From Cornish Window by A. F.

 The war leads the July number of Scribner's magazine. No one saw Its beginnings under more favorable cir cumstances than Richard Harding Da- wis. As correspondent of the London Times, he was accorded every privi- lege. and was for weeks on the flagship New York. His account of "The First Shot of the War" and "The First Bom- bardment" is the graphic picture of what an eye witness saw when the "Buen Ventura" was taken and Ma tanzas was bombarded His pre-emi- nent faculty of making real to the imagination what he has seen was never afforded better opportunity. How it feels to be On a great warship in action is made vivid. Snapshot photographs by MT. Davis add to the sense of reality. "The ship seemed to work and to fight by herself" he says, you heard no human voice of com mand"
 MT. Davis will write for no other magazine about the war, and his ar ticles will be retrospective narrative of it's most dramatic features, with abundant illustrations.
 The Atlantic Monthly for July pre- sents an array of contributions second to no other publication in the world. James Bryce on international friend ship; James K. Hosmer on our na- tional history, and present indep5n- dence of England yet recognizing state of independence; Henry c. Lea on the decadence of Spain; J. Lau- renee Laughlin on the present none tary system, and with these we recog- nize Abraham Cahan, Ethel Alleyne Ireland, Prof. Mark H. Liddell, Gilbert Parker, Bradford Torrey, and others. The entire number is worth not only a careful reading but preservation for study.
 The president on horseback rides spiritedly across the cover of the July Ladies' Home Journal under his new flag, and his chief characteristics are detailed in an illustrated anec- dotal biography, contributed by his nearest and most intimate friends. Very timely, also, is "The Presidents March," composed by Victor Herbert and designed to be played as a com pliment to the head of the nation whenever he appears in public. At this time much interest will be taken in the original declaration of inde- pendence, now guarded from public gaze, which, with the original draft of the treasured document, is photo graphically reproduced in the July Journal by arrangement with the state department.
 On the editorial page Edward Box writes for women and young men, and Miss Lillian Bell, who writes from St. Petersburg, tells Of how she makes a snapshot photograph of the czar of F:ussia Sam Markham's Wife, Hamlin Garland's new western story, and Julia Magruder's serial, "A Heaven-Kissing Hill," are strong fic- tion features Mrs. S. T. Rorer writes on Forty Kinds of Summer Sand wiches," and "The Best Foods for Stout and Thin Women" and other contributors also present articles of practical value and interest to women in fha home
