EVIDENCE OF THE CAMERA.
This picture would interest, if it did not exactly please, the German public, who are carefully kept misinformed on the actual progress of events. French Alpine Chasseurs are shown removing a German frontier post in Alsace-Lorraine. This is the outward and visible sign of an invasion of German soil, and those who know the feeling of good Frenchmen in regard to the two lost provinces will appreciate the patriotic ardour with which the soldiers carry out this particular part of their duty.
MACHINE GUNS.
As the spiked helmets indicate, the force shown in this picture is German. With the aid of a machine gun section these men are holding a barricade. This snow-covered ground is typical of Poland, where the photograph was taken, and the rigorous nature of warfare in these regions will be readily appreciated.
SMYRNA.
Smyrna is very much in the public eye just now, and our picture shows its busy quay. It is one of the most important and flourishing seaports of the Levant. Ships of very large tonnage are able to anchor close to its quays. It has passed through many exciting vicissitudes, including the ravages of earthquake, fire and plague. The Turks have held it since the middle of the fifteenth century.
THE SHIP OF THE DESERT.
This is one of the pictures which indicate that the term "European War" is by no means adequate to the great world-upheaval in which the nations are now engaged. War is being waged with submarines, Dreadnoughts, aeroplanes-and camels. The "ship of the desert" is shown in our photo meeting Australian sentries in Egypt on the banks of the canal.
