My Mission to London, 1912 - 1914. By Prince Lichnowaky. (Cassell and

Co. 6d. net.)—This complete translation of Prince Lichnowsky's startling memoirs should be read with care by every one. It is the most crushing indictment of German policy that has been written. Prince Lichnowaky, who was German Ambassa- dor in London up to the outbreak of war, admits that Germany deliberately made peace impossible, and that Lord Grey of Fallodon had done everything consistent with honour to prevent a conflict. Professor Gilbert Murray in a brief Introduction puts, but cannot answer, the question which has occurred to many of us—namely, why the German Government have permitted the publication of a document which shows that they lied to their people in declaring that Great Britain forced war upon Germany.
