Notes

  • This issue contains no serial instalment. The AWM published an apology on page 5, stating they were still waiting for the manuscript of Dorothy Cottrell's Earth Battle. The apology read as follows:

    'We crave the indulgence of readers in regard to the new serial "Earth-Battles" [sic] by Dorothy Cottrell. The elusive manuscript has still not put in an appearance! However, an American mail arriving next week should land it in time for our next issue.

    That the story is worth waiting for may be judged from the comment of Messrs. Hodder and Stoughton, who are to publish it in book form. They describe "Earth-Battlers" as "a stupendous piece of work and apparently effortless."

    Dorothy Cottrell herself says: "I have tried to do something better than I managed to do in Singing Gold'".'
