German Imperialism and International Law. By Jacques Marquis de Dampierre.
(Constable and Co. 10s. 6d. net.)—In this very ably and temperately written book, fortified throughout by the evidence of enemy literature and documents, the French author shows how deliberately the Germans have set international law at defiance, sinning against the light. In a chapter on " Violence as an Element in German Politics " ho describes the growth of the Pan-German movement, and illustrates its demands—fantastic, as many worthy English people used to think them—by maps from Tannenberg's Gross Deutschland of 1911, in which Germany is assigned half of South America, Turkey and most of China, the Congo and Morocco, and the Austrian provinces to Trieste. The author then gives the results of this pernicious teaching in his chapters on the wholesale looting and the terrorism which have for ever disgraced the German armies and the German people during this war. The unthinking Pacificist clique, happily few in number, ought to study this book with care ; it may dispel their illusions.
