The Red Symbol. By John Ironside. (Eveleigh Nash. 2s net.)—This

is a story which is concerned with the disturbances in Russia in the year 1905. It is more than a little melodramatic, but the adventures are exciting. The most interesting part of the book is the account of the journey which the hero takes through Russian country and the horrifying description of a pogrom or massacre of the Jews in a Russian village.
