"Savva" and 1.-THE Life Of Man" mark

of infinite lifelike detail. Yet in scope

this writer in the Ave essays Of this
solume seeks to reduce the subject OF
philosophy to Its lowest terms Of sim
pie statement and clear meaning. The
purpose of the study is to make plain
that philosophy is not confined in its
service to the speculations Of the pure
student, but that, on the contrary, II
may have meaning to the average man
day issues of his practical life. Ground
ing all philosophy as the sum total OF
human experience, this writer makes 1t
the most inclusive of subjects, cover
ing every sort of human knowledge.
From this point Of view it becomes
also a progressive subject, advancing
as human experience moves forward
into new fields. He discusses science as
a part Of philosophy. and therefore as
an element to be considered in the
off the materialistic standpoint in this
search from the idealistic. He discuss
es skepticism in philosophy as a con-
dition of growth, just as 1t has been a
condition of growth in science and re-
ligion. The final essay sums the pre-
ceding ones and fronts the subject
upon it's practice in the life of the
average man. The whole is a clear.
definite, Illuminating study that was
made originally for a branch of the

Official British Account
Of Fighting in Flanders

bureau has issued the following ac-

of the British force and the French
armies in immediate touch with it:
'In describing the operations for

that during that period the Germans

attack in great force such as was

policy has appeared to be to wear us
out by continual bombardment inter-
spersed with local assaults at different
points.

which have now continued without
cessation for days, wonder is aroused
as to when this prodigal expenditure
