Crown STjo. 6s. net 

 Many able books have been written since the war began on 

 its different phases, but none of them has treated the causes, 

 the pohcies of the different nationalities, and the world 

 interests involved, in the broad and comprehensive way which is 

 the outstanding feature of this book It treats the case of Belgium 

 from a historical and diplomatic standpoint; it exposes the 

 falseness of the German position, and refutes German charges by 

 German evidence itself. It gives, among many other interesting 

 chapters, a brief and clear picture of the German-Austro pohcy 

 which, over many years, kept the politics of South-Eastern 

 Europe a fuse to explode the mine of a world-war.

Philosophical ideas have played an important part in creating 

 the moral atmosphere in Germany which made the present outrage 

 on civilization possible. But the decisive ideas were not those for 

 which what is commonly known as German Philosophy stands — 

 the ideas of Kant, Fichte and Hegel. On the contrary they are 

 the fruit of a violent reaction against them.as the book makes clear.
