12 SEPTEMBER 1914, Page 25

We regret that we did not receive the United Service

_Magazine in time for notice with the rest of the magazines last week. The new number is, as may be imagined, of particular interest, and nearly all the articles are concerned with the different aspects of the war. "Admiral" discusses the naval side of the operations, while Colonel Maude writes upon the land fighting in the western area. Among the other articles we may mention one with the title "In Case of Invasion," in which Colonel H. C. Simpson discusses the position and duties of local authorities and non-combatants situated in an area of active operations if this country were invaded.
