NEW EDITION.--ir Accuse ! By a German. Translated by A.

Cray. (Hodder and Stoughton. 2s. net..)—We gladly draw attention to a popular edition of this most important book. Whatever sympathy one may have with the principle, " My country, right or wrong," we believe the author to have longer sight when he holds that Germany needs chastisement for her own sake. Consequently he brings forward this indict- ment of his country's leaders, showing by carefully documented evidence that they made this war deliberately, aggressively, and mistakenly in German interests. We trust that it will be widely read in America too. And the next thing. if it has not already b3en done, should be to preptre trans lotions for neutral countries.
