14 SEPTEMBER 1918, Page 16

Messrs. George Philip and Son have issued a new Strategical

Record Map of the Western Front (2s. net), printed in colours, which covers Northern France, Belgium, and Western Germany, and marks the various battle-fronts from 1914 to May 1st last. The study of a large map of this kind is a useful corrective to theories based on a cursory glance at the more or less detailed section-maps which appear daily in the newspapers. At least half of the Western Front has remained quiescent throughout the stirring weeks since July 18th.
