With the results ot the Germain efforts still uncertain, the correspond? ents are speculating over their meaning and the motives behind them. Does Germany expect to win a decision in the West, to force France to make peace by taking Verdun, breaking through to the French line and again moving on Paris? Or, is she merely fortifying herself against an expected Allied drive, acting on the principle that the best defense is an attack? Or is she merely after local gains, or trying to regain the ground lost last fall? Or, as some French writers hint, has military strategy been subordinated to political or dynastic considerations? In THE L1TER.ARY DIGEST for March 4th, the views of the Amer? ican press and war correspondents are incorporated in a comprehensive article which also includes maps, showing the Allies' losses. Other important articles in this issue are: DO THE RAILROADS WASTE MONEY? They "Co in Too Much for Gilded Stairs and Marble Ha'.ls" in the Opinion of Mr. Charles Evans, Chi*, f Commissioner of State Railways, Queensland, Australia. The German Press on Our Armed Mer? chantmen Stand Japan is Wooing Russia Turkish Finances and Feeling Our Chemical Industries After the War A College-Bred Polic Force Wagner After the War The Theatrical "Star-System" is Tottering War As an Educator of Literary Taste The Democratic Plan for Slreng'hening the Army Buying Another Canal Route A hinc Collection of No "Booze" for Eig Business English Editors Dissatisfied with England's Irregular Blockade How to Drop the Tobacco Habit How Much Is a Stenographer Worth?

The publication which strikes th<> Mme note inces? santly, which defends one Bide in right or in wrong, which presents arguments always one-sided, nat? urally is sounding hut one bell. That's one reason why bo man., ?people are reading THE LITER? ARY DIGEST.
