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, $1,00

Mr. Sladen has taken as his text a pamphlet which, while not
formally published, has been widely circulated in the United States,
entitled The Truth About Germany. This pamphlet was prepared
in Germany under the supervision of a Committee of Representative
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 publishers
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.

Armageddon and After!

By

Cloudesley Brereton

A monography by one of the educational

issue of the present struggle may be a
great spiritual renascence or it may be
the domination of the Huns.
