Apart altogether from its significance to business (and I am told that it is one of the most modern and efficient instruments for trading in the world) the new Stock Exchange in Toronto has a particular interest for Canadians who are concerned with art. This is a tame way of beginning what is really an exciting piece of news. Canada has acquired a set of murals.

Oh, it's true enough, there are murals scattered here and there about the country, in the odd public building, in banks and one or two churches not to mention the things they have in theatres but it is hard to recall any you 1 even a short distance in the system ana many uuietuuno ba'sd on a western viewpoint, concludes his study with the conviction that if there should be no The wind of spring bursts through It is really amazing how much Comfort has been able to crowd into those narrow verticals without betraying an appearance of crowding.

The A.I.F. France, 1918. By C. E. W.

Bean; with 279 maps and illustrations: Sydney, Australia: Angus and Robertson, Limited. Despite its 825 pages this volume is as gripping a narrative of the last year of the Great War as might be found in any regimental or divisional history of the period, a period which unfolded the greatest battle in the world's history. Broadly it narrates the part played by the Australian Corps in the barring of the German advance upon Amiens in the early part of 1918, and the similar part of the lsfAus-tralian Division in the saving of More specifically the story unfolds an almost unending succession of heroism and horror which only those who participated in active fighting can appreciate to its full extent.

Yet in the higher circles there I was vacillation, muddling, wrangling, and. worst of all, interference by the politicians in the affairs which should have been left strictly to the professional soldier.

It is a happy reflection that the author, while properly appraising Haigs character as a soldier, at the same time clearly lauds him as the highest type of a man when he shows that to Haig more than to any other individual was due the eventual decision to appoint Foch as Generalissimo of the Allied Forces on the Western Front.
