Treitschke - 1915 - Germany, France, Russia, and Islam
Despite
the remarkable and often irrational configura-
tion of its internal boundaries, the Empire has
long exhibited, within no less than without, the
magnificent vital energy of a Great Power.
The existence of a recognized national monarchy
is a matter of enormous importance, involving
consequences far greater than is generally under-
stood by our people. Everywhere the influence of

? Our Empire 321
the monarchy makes for peace, for it imposes insu-
perable obstacles to ambition. Since the German
Empire has become an admitted fact, since there
has no longer been any dispute about the greatest
of all the problems of German power, our whole
political life has been steadied in a manner hitherto
unknown, and this to such an extent that even the
youthful violence of our party struggle has involved
no serious danger. Throughout the Empire the
respect for authority has been enormously en-
hanced by the quiet strength of the Imperial Rule
and by the firm monarchical ordering of Prussia.
Under the German Bund how much filth and
poison was scattered abroad apropos of every mis-
fortune of any of the Princely Houses; what storms
were raised by the abdication of Louis I of Bavaria.
In our own day Bavaria has had to suffer the rule of
two insane kings, and this unexampled misfortune
caused far less disturbance, because Bavaria is now
no more than a segment of the Empire, and every-
one is well aware that in the Empire the elements of
public order are perfectly secure.
In the history of the Zollverein, the valuable
preliminary school of our imperial policy, Prussia
learned that the Princes of the Bund were extremely
loath to suffer any interference in matters of do-
mestic administration, but that they almost always
willingly accepted and honourably executed unified
laws applicable to all alike. This experience has
never been forgotten. By our national customs, no
less than by the historical character of the German

? 322 Our Empire
State, the German Empire has, moreover, been com-
pelled to undertake many-sided social activities,
but it was recognized that the creation of a strong
force of imperial officials beside and above the
already existing and numerous local state officials
would necessarily lead to considerable friction. For
this reason the imperial authority assumed direct
responsibility for a few branches only of adminis-
tration. Its chief activities were devoted to the
work of legislation, the execution of the laws being
for the most part left to the local governments
under imperial supervision. In this way the sensi-
bilities of the local governments were spared,
and at the same time the aims of unification were
more securely attained, for in Germany confidence
always bears good fruit. Even in the adminis-
tration of our strongly centralized coinage system
this principle has been observed. The Empire has
no mints of its own, leaving the mints of the local
governments to do their own work in the "mperial
interest. Consequently, the mass of the people
have very little understanding of the effective power
of the Empire ; the number of the imperial officials
is comparatively small, and in daily life the
German comes in contact with local officials almost
exclusively. Yet the life of the masses has been
completely transformed by the right of domicile,
by the liberty of occupation, by the obligation to
military service; it is the laws of the Empire
that have given rise to that profound alteration
of social conditions which is manifest to all. If,

? Our Empire 323
in addition, we take into account the newly effected
unification of the criminal and civil law, of the
methods of intercourse, of the coinage, and of
weights and measures, we see that the general
outcome, despite all parliamentary hindrances and
all errors of detail, has been an extraordinarily fruit-
ful and beneficent system of legislation . This alone
suffices to prove that our Empire is no mere federal
state, but a stronger and more coherent form of
national unity -- that it is a monarchy with federal
institutions.
To the sense of social justice, to the still persist-
ent traditions of the Prussian Kingdom (ever a
kingdom of the indigent), do we owe it that our
Empire is now engaged in freeing the working
classes from the greatest of the curses of poverty, the
terrible insecurity of their lives, and in tempering
to some extent the hardships of the system of free
competition. When Napoleon III expressed the
intention of insuring working-class families against
illness, accident, and death, by national enterprise,
his bold proposition assumed a purely socialistic
aspect, for in the France of those days the adoption
of such measures must inevitably have led to a
further strengthening of the already overwhelming
powers of the bureaucracy. But Germany, in its
honourable and hard-working officialdom, in its
decentralized administration, and in its vigorous
co-operative institutions, already possesses all the
preliminary requisites for a sound system of social
legislation. In our case it is possible to undertake

? 324 Our Empire
working-class insurance on such lines that, like
every valuable social reform, it will not destroy
but stimulate the independence of the individual
citizen, giving an impulse towards the formation of
new co-operative institutions adapted to the needs
of the transformed economic life of the people. If
further progress in this direction should carry out
the promise of the vigorous beginnings already
made, the social laws of the German Empire will
serve as an example to the other nations of the
civilized world.
Full of defects and contradictions, the imperial
constitution is manifestly in the opening stage
merely of its development. It is at least essential
that the imperial authority should be equipped
with the power of veto, as the formal embodiment
of the monarchical power with which it is in fact
endowed. Even in army matters far too little has
as yet been effected towards the practical unifica-
tion of the nation. Just as already to-day, without
any injury to Germany, Bavarian and Wiirttem-
berger regiments garrison Metz and Strassburg, so
also it could but redound to our advantage if the
troops of Baden were sometimes quartered in
Danzig, and those of Pomerania in Ulm. All our
fortresses, save those of Ingolstadt and Germer-
sheil, have long been imperial fortresses, and
the last surviving reason for our idiotic family
quarrels has been our defective knowledge of
one another. But all such desiderata fade into
insignificance beside the irrefutable need for a firm

interconnection of the finances of the Empire with
those of its subordinate parts. Since the legend
of the costHness of a system of Httle states -- a
legend which at one time gained general credence --
was shown to be an illusion, and since the smaller
countries of the Empire proved incompetent to
shoulder the heavier financial burdens which every
great state perforce imposes upon the sections of
which it is made up, the Imperial Administration
had to choose one of two paths. The smaller
governments might have been left to their own
devices, when the increasing demands of the central
imperial authority would have involved them in
bankruptcy and ultimate annihilation. In the
early days of the North German Federation this
possibility seemed imminent. But it soon became
evident that the Imperial Constitution, and the
obligations of good faith towards individual
members of the federation, necessitated the adop-
tion of another course. For years past it has been
the aim of the Imperial Financial Administration to
increase the imperial revenue to such an extent as
to render it possible, not merely to abate the
demands made by the Empire upon the local
governments, but further, by imperial contributions
made to these latter, to enable them to re-order
their own finances, which had all been seriously
affected by the increasing need of the Communes.
If the Imperial Administration proves successful
in this aim the local governments will all be united
to the Empire by willingly accepted bonds, and an

? 326 Our Empire
anti-imperial separatism will become impossible at
the smaller courts. Step by step great enterprises
are resisted by the obstinacy of the pariiamentary
factions. Even the Spirit Monopoly, a tax that
would have been advantageous alike to the finances,
the domestic economy, the health, and the morals
of the nation, was rejected because the Moderate
Parties, in their dread of a public opinion which did
not in fact exist, and in their anxiety regarding
the caprices of universal suffrage, made common
cause with the enemies of the Empire. Ultimately,
maybe, the general reasonableness of events, in con-
junction with pressure of urgent need, will bring
about the victory of the idea of imperial unity
which dominates all such financial proposals.
In its foreign policy the Empire displays a mode-
ration never before exhibited by a great state after
a brilliant victory. There has not appeared in
Europe any goal for German conquest sufficiently
alluring to warrant the undertaking of a great war.
German statesmanship must for a long time to come
be keenly watchful if we are to defend our glorious
acquisitions against the unconcealed enmity of
France and the increasing hostility of the Musco-
vites. It may be, too, that a time will shortly arrive
in which England will attempt, as of old in the
days of Marlborough, to utilize her dynastic con-
nections with the Court of Berlin in the further-
ance of the aims of her commercial policy. But
our Empire is too strong to permit itself to be
terrorized or misused. If peace be preserved the

way lies open for an extension of our economic
power. It is plain that the rigid protective system,
which for the moment acts as a barrier between
the various countries of Europe, is merely provi-
sional. Industry is everywhere seeking new fields
of enterprise; the Central European Zollverein,
whose institution in the days of the Bundestag
would have gravely endangered our national
independence, no longer belongs to the realm of
dreams. A customs union with Austria would
serve, not merely to open new channels for our
commerce, but also to give further political
strength to our southern ally, who, despite her
infirmities, remains indispensable to us -- for the
fall of the Danubian Empire would inevitably
shake our own power. Similarly, a commercio-
political understanding with Holland would re-
dound to the advantage of both parties, for to us
it would furnish free access to the mouths of our
leading river, whilst for the Netherlands it would
provide a military protection for her colonies, for
whose defence her own sea-power is no longer
adequate. As with all the truly national memories
of our ancient imperial days, so also is renascent in
the New Empire the sea-power of the Hanseatic
League. The Hanseatic League had unceasingly
to contend with the indifference and often with the
overt hostility of the imperial authority. But
to-day the Empire is taking into its own hand
those duties of maritime policy which for three
centuries have been neglected. Whereas the

Hanseatic League lost the command of the sea
because its authority did not extend over a unified
political area, we may hope to-day that the power
of the Empire will suffice to secure for the Germans
their fair share of dominion in the transatlantic
world.
Immeasurably great are the new political tasks
which in the years since the unification of our land
have been pressing for accomplishment. Germany
will prove herself adequate to all of these if she
preserves respect for her imperial system, if she
cleaves firmly to that conception of monarchy in
the free and deep understanding of which our
people excels all the nations of the earth.

Edited, with a Topical and Historical Introduction, by
Douglas Sladen

The coupling of these two works in a single
volume has a significance apart from the fact that
they have bearing -- the one as an intimate ex-
pression, the other as an able biographical sketch
-- upon one of the great figures of Prussian and
world history. Treitschke strongly influences the
philosophy of war and the views regarding the
destiny of the German nation embodied in
Bernhardi's much discussed book, and Frederick's
CONFESSIONS, in the opinion of Mr. Sladen.
is the soil from which the school of Treitschke
and Bernhardi drew sustenance.

? The Great Illusion
By Norman Angell
A Study of the Relation of Military
Power to National Advantage.
Fourth Edition Revised with Additional Material
Crown 8? . $1. 00
"Mr. Angell throws into the dust-bin the worn-out
theories, the axioms of statecraft, the shibboleths of
diplomats, the mouthings of politicasters, as to the
necessity of war. And from this to a brilliant arraign-
ment of standing armies and navies and war establish-
ments of all kinds is but another step in Mr. Angell's
altogether splendid monograph. To use a familiar
phrase, no book of similar trend in recent years has
caused so many thinking men to sit up and take notice. "

Author of " The Great Illusion," etc.
12\ $1. 25
In this book the author of " The Great Illusion " shows
systematically and scientifically, though with the same
clearness and simplicity which mark his earlier work, the
nature of those forces which are transforming the re-
lationship of states, and indeed, to some extent, the
mechanism of organized society as a whole.

? Treitschke
12\ $1. 50
The Writings of Bernhardi's Teacher,
Heinrich von Treitschke, Together
with a Life, by His Close
Friend, Adolf Hausrath
The works of this great German historian
have shaped the present policy of Germany in
its attempt to secure a dominating influence in
Europe and throughout the world. The follow-
ing is a brief summary of the subjects presented
in this distinctive work :
I. Treitschke 's Life and Work, by Adolf
Hausrath. 2. The Army. 3. International Law.
4. German Colonization. 5. The Two Emperors.
6. In Memory of the Great War. 7. Germany
and the Neutral States. 8. Austria and the
German Emperor. 9. Russia from the German
Point of View. 10. On Liberty.
Treitschke was a close friend of Bismarck, and
his list of pupils include the political and military
leaders of the present generation, such as the
Emperor William, Bernhardi, and others.
Lord Acton says of Treitschke: "He is the
one writer of history who is more brilliant and
more powerful than Droysen; and he writes
with the force and incisiveness of Mommsen,
but he concerns himself with the problems of
the present day, problems that are still demand-
ing solution. **

? The Real
"Truth About Germany"
From the English Point of View
By Douglas Sladen
Author of " Egypt and the English," etc.
With an Appendix
Great Britain and the War
By A. Maurice Low, M. A.
Author of " The American People," etc.
300 pages. 12? . Cloth. $100
Mr. Sladen has taken as his text a pamphlet which, while not
formally published, has been widely circulated in the United StateSf
entitled The Truth About Germany. This pamphlet was prepared
in Germany under the supervision of a Committee of Repre-
sentative Germans, and may fairly be described as the "official
justification of the War. " Care has been taken to prevent copies
from finding their way into England, which has caused Mr. Sladen
to describe the pamphlet as The Secret White Paper. He has taken
up one by one the statements of the German writers, and has
shown how little foundation most of these statements have and
how misleading are others which contain some element of truth.
In answering the German statements, Mr. Sladen has naturally
taken the opportunity to state clearly the case of England. England
claims that it was impossible to avoid going into this struggle if
it was to keep faith with and fulfill its obligations to Belgium
and Luxemburg. Apart from this duty, it is the conviction of
England, that it is fighting not only in fulfillment of obligations
and to prevent France from being crushed for a second time, but
for self-preservation. The German threat has been made openly
" first Paris, then London. "
In order that the case for England may be complete, the pub-
lishers have added an essay by the well-known historian, A. Maurice
Low. As the title. Great Britain and the War, indicates, England's
attitude toward the great conflict is clearly portrayed, and her
reasons for joining therein are ably presented.

the remarkable and often irrational configura-

the monarchy makes for peace, for it imposes insu-
perable obstacles to ambition. Since the German
Empire has become an admitted fact, since there
has no longer been any dispute about the greatest
of all the problems of German power, our whole
political life has been steadied in a manner hitherto
unknown, and this to such an extent that even the
youthful violence of our party struggle has involved
no serious danger. Throughout the Empire the
respect for authority has been enormously en-
hanced by the quiet strength of the Imperial Rule
and by the firm monarchical ordering of Prussia.
Under the German Bund how much filth and
poison was scattered abroad apropos of every mis-
fortune of any of the Princely Houses; what storms
were raised by the abdication of Louis I of Bavaria.
In our own day Bavaria has had to suffer the rule of
two insane kings, and this unexampled misfortune
caused far less disturbance, because Bavaria is now
no more than a segment of the Empire, and every-
one is well aware that in the Empire the elements of
public order are perfectly secure.
In the history of the Zollverein, the valuable
preliminary school of our imperial policy, Prussia
learned that the Princes of the Bund were extremely
loath to suffer any interference in matters of do-
mestic administration, but that they almost always
willingly accepted and honourably executed unified
laws applicable to all alike. This experience has
never been forgotten. By our national customs, no
less than by the historical character of the German

? 322 Our Empire
State, the German Empire has, moreover, been com-
pelled to undertake many-sided social activities,
but it was recognized that the creation of a strong
force of imperial officials beside and above the
already existing and numerous local state officials
would necessarily lead to considerable friction. For
this reason the imperial authority assumed direct
responsibility for a few branches only of adminis-
tration. Its chief activities were devoted to the
work of legislation, the execution of the laws being
for the most part left to the local governments
under imperial supervision. In this way the sensi-
bilities of the local governments were spared,
and at the same time the aims of unification were
more securely attained, for in Germany confidence
always bears good fruit. Even in the adminis-
tration of our strongly centralized coinage system
this principle has been observed. The Empire has
no mints of its own, leaving the mints of the local
governments to do their own work in the "mperial
interest. Consequently, the mass of the people
have very little understanding of the effective power
of the Empire ; the number of the imperial officials
is comparatively small, and in daily life the
German comes in contact with local officials almost
exclusively. Yet the life of the masses has been
completely transformed by the right of domicile,
by the liberty of occupation, by the obligation to
military service; it is the laws of the Empire
that have given rise to that profound alteration
of social conditions which is manifest to all. If,

in addition, we take into account the newly effected
unification of the criminal and civil law, of the
methods of intercourse, of the coinage, and of
weights and measures, we see that the general
outcome, despite all parliamentary hindrances and
all errors of detail, has been an extraordinarily fruit-
ful and beneficent system of legislation . This alone
suffices to prove that our Empire is no mere federal
state, but a stronger and more coherent form of
national unity -- that it is a monarchy with federal
institutions.
To the sense of social justice, to the still persist-
ent traditions of the Prussian Kingdom (ever a
kingdom of the indigent), do we owe it that our
Empire is now engaged in freeing the working
classes from the greatest of the curses of poverty, the
terrible insecurity of their lives, and in tempering
to some extent the hardships of the system of free
competition. When Napoleon III expressed the
intention of insuring working-class families against
illness, accident, and death, by national enterprise,
his bold proposition assumed a purely socialistic
aspect, for in the France of those days the adoption
of such measures must inevitably have led to a
further strengthening of the already overwhelming
powers of the bureaucracy. But Germany, in its
honourable and hard-working officialdom, in its
decentralized administration, and in its vigorous
co-operative institutions, already possesses all the
preliminary requisites for a sound system of social
legislation. In our case it is possible to undertake

working-class insurance on such lines that, like
every valuable social reform, it will not destroy
but stimulate the independence of the individual
citizen, giving an impulse towards the formation of
new co-operative institutions adapted to the needs
of the transformed economic life of the people. If
further progress in this direction should carry out
the promise of the vigorous beginnings already
made, the social laws of the German Empire will
serve as an example to the other nations of the
civilized world.
Full of defects and contradictions, the imperial
constitution is manifestly in the opening stage
merely of its development. It is at least essential
that the imperial authority should be equipped
with the power of veto, as the formal embodiment
of the monarchical power with which it is in fact
endowed. Even in army matters far too little has
as yet been effected towards the practical unifica-
tion of the nation. Just as already to-day, without
any injury to Germany, Bavarian and Wiirttem-
berger regiments garrison Metz and Strassburg, so
also it could but redound to our advantage if the
troops of Baden were sometimes quartered in
Danzig, and those of Pomerania in Ulm. All our
fortresses, save those of Ingolstadt and Germer-
sheil, have long been imperial fortresses, and
the last surviving reason for our idiotic family
quarrels has been our defective knowledge of
one another. But all such desiderata fade into
insignificance beside the irrefutable need for a firm

interconnection of the finances of the Empire with
those of its subordinate parts. Since the legend
of the costHness of a system of Httle states -- a
legend which at one time gained general credence --
was shown to be an illusion, and since the smaller
countries of the Empire proved incompetent to
shoulder the heavier financial burdens which every
great state perforce imposes upon the sections of
which it is made up, the Imperial Administration
had to choose one of two paths. The smaller
governments might have been left to their own
devices, when the increasing demands of the central
imperial authority would have involved them in
bankruptcy and ultimate annihilation. In the
early days of the North German Federation this
possibility seemed imminent. But it soon became
evident that the Imperial Constitution, and the
obligations of good faith towards individual
members of the federation, necessitated the adop-
tion of another course. For years past it has been
the aim of the Imperial Financial Administration to
increase the imperial revenue to such an extent as
to render it possible, not merely to abate the
demands made by the Empire upon the local
governments, but further, by imperial contributions
made to these latter, to enable them to re-order
their own finances, which had all been seriously
affected by the increasing need of the Communes.
If the Imperial Administration proves successful
in this aim the local governments will all be united
to the Empire by willingly accepted bonds, and an

? 326 Our Empire
anti-imperial separatism will become impossible at
the smaller courts. Step by step great enterprises
are resisted by the obstinacy of the pariiamentary
factions. Even the Spirit Monopoly, a tax that
would have been advantageous alike to the finances,
the domestic economy, the health, and the morals
of the nation, was rejected because the Moderate
Parties, in their dread of a public opinion which did
not in fact exist, and in their anxiety regarding
the caprices of universal suffrage, made common
cause with the enemies of the Empire. Ultimately,
maybe, the general reasonableness of events, in con-
junction with pressure of urgent need, will bring
about the victory of the idea of imperial unity
which dominates all such financial proposals.
In its foreign policy the Empire displays a mode-
ration never before exhibited by a great state after
a brilliant victory. There has not appeared in
Europe any goal for German conquest sufficiently
alluring to warrant the undertaking of a great war.
German statesmanship must for a long time to come
be keenly watchful if we are to defend our glorious
acquisitions against the unconcealed enmity of
France and the increasing hostility of the Musco-
vites. It may be, too, that a time will shortly arrive
in which England will attempt, as of old in the
days of Marlborough, to utilize her dynastic con-
nections with the Court of Berlin in the further-
ance of the aims of her commercial policy. But
our Empire is too strong to permit itself to be
terrorized or misused. If peace be preserved the

way lies open for an extension of our economic
power. It is plain that the rigid protective system,
which for the moment acts as a barrier between
the various countries of Europe, is merely provi-
sional. Industry is everywhere seeking new fields
of enterprise; the Central European Zollverein,
whose institution in the days of the Bundestag
would have gravely endangered our national
independence, no longer belongs to the realm of
dreams. A customs union with Austria would
serve, not merely to open new channels for our
commerce, but also to give further political
strength to our southern ally, who, despite her
infirmities, remains indispensable to us -- for the
fall of the Danubian Empire would inevitably
shake our own power. Similarly, a commercio-
political understanding with Holland would re-
dound to the advantage of both parties, for to us
it would furnish free access to the mouths of our
leading river, whilst for the Netherlands it would
provide a military protection for her colonies, for
whose defence her own sea-power is no longer
adequate. As with all the truly national memories
of our ancient imperial days, so also is renascent in
the New Empire the sea-power of the Hanseatic
League. The Hanseatic League had unceasingly
to contend with the indifference and often with the
overt hostility of the imperial authority. But
to-day the Empire is taking into its own hand
those duties of maritime policy which for three
centuries have been neglected. Whereas the

Hanseatic League lost the command of the sea
because its authority did not extend over a unified
political area, we may hope to-day that the power
of the Empire will suffice to secure for the Germans
their fair share of dominion in the transatlantic
world.
Immeasurably great are the new political tasks
which in the years since the unification of our land
have been pressing for accomplishment. Germany
will prove herself adequate to all of these if she
preserves respect for her imperial system, if she
cleaves firmly to that conception of monarchy in
the free and deep understanding of which our
people excels all the nations of the earth.

? The Confessions of
Frederick the Great
and
Treitschke's "Life of Frederick"
Edited, with a Topical and Historical Introduction, by
Douglas Sladen
12\ $1. 25
The coupling of these two works in a single
volume has a significance apart from the fact that
they have bearing -- the one as an intimate ex-
pression, the other as an able biographical sketch
-- upon one of the great figures of Prussian and
world history. Treitschke strongly influences the
philosophy of war and the views regarding the
destiny of the German nation embodied in
Bernhardi's much discussed book, and Frederick's
CONFESSIONS, in the opinion of Mr. Sladen.
is the soil from which the school of Treitschke
and Bernhardi drew sustenance.

? The Great Illusion
By Norman Angell
A Study of the Relation of Military
Power to National Advantage.
Fourth Edition Revised with Additional Material
Crown 8? . $1. 00
"Mr. Angell throws into the dust-bin the worn-out
theories, the axioms of statecraft, the shibboleths of
diplomats, the mouthings of politicasters, as to the
necessity of war. And from this to a brilliant arraign-
ment of standing armies and navies and war establish-
ments of all kinds is but another step in Mr. Angell's
altogether splendid monograph. To use a familiar
phrase, no book of similar trend in recent years has
caused so many thinking men to sit up and take notice. "
St. Louis Globe''Democrat
Arms and Industry
A Study of the Foundations of Inter-
national Polity
By Norman Angell
Author of " The Great Illusion," etc.
12\ $1. 25
In this book the author of " The Great Illusion " shows
systematically and scientifically, though with the same
clearness and simplicity which mark his earlier work, the
nature of those forces which are transforming the re-
lationship of states, and indeed, to some extent, the
mechanism of organized society as a whole.

? Treitschke
12\ $1. 50
The Writings of Bernhardi's Teacher,
Heinrich von Treitschke, Together
with a Life, by His Close
Friend, Adolf Hausrath
The works of this great German historian
have shaped the present policy of Germany in
its attempt to secure a dominating influence in
Europe and throughout the world. The follow-
ing is a brief summary of the subjects presented
in this distinctive work :
I. Treitschke 's Life and Work, by Adolf
Hausrath. 2. The Army. 3. International Law.
4. German Colonization. 5. The Two Emperors.
6. In Memory of the Great War. 7. Germany
and the Neutral States. 8. Austria and the
German Emperor. 9. Russia from the German
Point of View. 10. On Liberty.
Treitschke was a close friend of Bismarck, and
his list of pupils include the political and military
leaders of the present generation, such as the
Emperor William, Bernhardi, and others.
Lord Acton says of Treitschke: "He is the
one writer of history who is more brilliant and
more powerful than Droysen; and he writes
with the force and incisiveness of Mommsen,
but he concerns himself with the problems of
the present day, problems that are still demand-
ing solution. **

? The Real
"Truth About Germany"
From the English Point of View
By Douglas Sladen
Author of " Egypt and the English," etc.
With an Appendix
Great Britain and the War
By A. Maurice Low, M. A.
Author of " The American People," etc.
300 pages. 12? . Cloth. $100
Mr. Sladen has taken as his text a pamphlet which, while not
formally published, has been widely circulated in the United StateSf
entitled The Truth About Germany. This pamphlet was prepared
in Germany under the supervision of a Committee of Repre-
sentative Germans, and may fairly be described as the "official
justification of the War. " Care has been taken to prevent copies
from finding their way into England, which has caused Mr. Sladen
to describe the pamphlet as The Secret White Paper. He has taken
up one by one the statements of the German writers, and has
shown how little foundation most of these statements have and
how misleading are others which contain some element of truth.
In answering the German statements, Mr. Sladen has naturally
taken the opportunity to state clearly the case of England. England
claims that it was impossible to avoid going into this struggle if
it was to keep faith with and fulfill its obligations to Belgium
and Luxemburg. Apart from this duty, it is the conviction of
England, that it is fighting not only in fulfillment of obligations
and to prevent France from being crushed for a second time, but
for self-preservation. The German threat has been made openly
" first Paris, then London. "
In order that the case for England may be complete, the pub-
lishers have added an essay by the well-known historian, A. Maurice
Low. As the title. Great Britain and the War, indicates, England's
attitude toward the great conflict is clearly portrayed, and her
reasons for joining therein are ably presented.
