In the August number Of Everybody's
Magazine the current instalment OF
Brand Whltlock's story OF German tyr
amy in Belgium is a stirring picture
OF the incessant. calculated humiliation
which was part Of the Prussisn policy
and which went deeper into the hearts
Of the oppressed Belgians than death
or disaster. BY way Of relief from an
unprecedented record OF cruelty and
shame, Mr.. WhitlOok gives us occa-
sional incidents OF subtle forms Of re-
sistance devised by the clever Belgians
10 irritate and outwit the stupidity
Of the tyrant invader.
In "Just Boys" Herbert Corey, war
correspondent, presents a heart-warm-
ing picture, straight from the front, Of
the American soldier In France, while
Harold Titus, IN "Barrack Bits" does
much the same for those who are still

modern marvels in the reconstruction
OF crippled fighting men. In over the

Of the war-balloon pilots job In an

The fiction in this issue Is Of a high
order. "Out Of the Deep" by Edwin
Balmer, is the story Of the grim deeds
OF a destroyer and OF love and spring
at sea in war time. Patrick Leary's
Son" is a tale OF love and patriotism
and a fighting blacksmith. There's an
old-fashloned. hlood-stirring prize fight
in 10, involving hearts as well as fists.
Edgar Wallace contributes another
"Tam o. the Scoots" story Of the Brit

The tense situations OF Arthur Som
