Messrs. W. and A. K. Johnston have published a useful

War Map of Palestine (Gs. net), on a scale of eleven miles to an inch. with art inset, on a smaller scale, of Lower Egypt and the Canal. The Turks are credited by the map-maker with a great deal of railway construction, including a lino from the Ilauran, past the Lake of Galilee and Samaria, down to Beersheba and the Sinai Desert, by which their successors in Palestine will benefit.
