Getting Back at the Germans.

The title of this book, "The Real
Truth About Germany From the En-
glish Point of View," by Douglas Sla-
den. with an appendix, "Great Brit
tain and the War" by A. Maurice Low,
M. A, is enough to give the neutrality
seeking reader warning to stay away.
Nearly as much of this present strus-
gle has been fought in print as IN
military strategy. This 275-page vol
ume is a British attempt to splatter
some inky shrapnel ON the well-mean-
ing, If somewhat inaccurate, Teutons
who got up the defensive tract, "The
Truth About Germany" for the bene-
fit of American readers.
Mr.. Sladen takes up the German ex-
PLANTATION a paragraph at a time,
pastes it on the wall at thirty PAGES
aad then calmly and deliberately
shoots it full o; holes At least, TO a
person with a slight pro- British lean
ing, the paragraph looks like ii is full
of holes. To a friend of the Germans,
that same paragraph may look like
10-inch armor.
Mr.. Lows 25-page appendix is a
rehash of the British claims that the
Kaiser started the war.
The neutral who has not read the
German essay on "ThA Truth About
Germany" will do well not to read
this book. The neutral, however, who
has read the other side will do well
to glance through this volume in or
der to get his mental equilibrium. tG.
