BECK'S GREAT WAR BOOK

In his famous work on the European
War ''The Evidence In the Case, the
Hon. James M. Beck L. L. D. discusses
the issues in ten chapters giving clear
resume of all his conclusions, rightly
styled by him 'the judgment of the
world"
In later edition he adds brief Epi-
logue containing number of reflections
addressed to the reader in strikingly
beautiful language. The book contains
258 pages, and is in every respect just
such handsome piece of bookwork as
one is accustomed to getting from the
famous Knickerbocker Press of G. P.
Putnam's Sons, and is having an enor-
nous sale. Price $1.25.
The writer assumes the existence of
what he happily calls a Supreme
Court of Civilization and of conscience
In mankind TO which nation may ap-
peal, as did our just and sober fathers
in their Declaration of Independence.
He shows how Treitschke, Bernhard
and other leaders of German thought
have attempted ''to revive in the 2Otb
century the cynical morality of the
10th, " and to bring about the return of
false and brutal heather philosophy
worse yet than Machiavellism.
He quotes the absurd words of the
paranoic Kaiser, "On me as German
Emperor the spirit of God descended
| am His weapon; His sword; His Vice
gerent. Woe to the disobedient! Death
to towards and unbelievers"l The
crazy Founder of Islam in his widest
fanatacism never exceeded thatl
Quotes also the Kaiser's infamous
order to his 10000 soldiers embarking
for China, ''to take no prisoners-make
the name of Germany as fearsome as
that of Attila the Hun a thousand
years ago..
In Chapter II he shows how the awful
war issues were framed by "a small
coterie of men-in number not more
than 50-who in the secrecy of their re-
spective cabinets made the moves and
counter moves upon the chessboard of
nations playing their bloody game
wherein the pawns were millions of
living men! He also shows that what
these few rulers and diplomats did
''was never known to their respective
nations in any detail until after the fell
Rubicon had been crossed and a world
war precipitated' These four hun
dred millions of people were as blindIy
hurled into the vortex of war as the
800 at Balaklava,
''Theirs not to make reply
Theirs not to reason why
Theirs but to do and die"
and here as there, somebody blunder-
edY'
Mr.. Beck clearly establishes ''by con-
firmations strong as proofs of Holv
Writ" that while all the Allies have
published their war diplomatic corre-
spondence Germany dishonesty garbled
hers, and Austria after six months of
silence, has done the same.
By the deadly parallel Mr.. Beck
proves in Chapter V that Servia yielded
all of Austria's insolent demands save
her brutal ultimatum which required
the surrender of her own sovereignty.
Again, he proves by written, evidence
furnished in part by Germany's own
White Book"-that while all Europe
was being lulled into a false security
by Germany lying assurances of peace,
she was secretly planning the awful
deed which was to set the whole world
ablaze with HelPs fury of war! "a

BECK'S WAR CLASSIC

THIS great war in Europe is one of
the most notable events in all
history. Civilization is facing the
bravo Barbsrism in the worlds arena
In death struggle.
The issue of the conflict is to decide
whether the world shall henceforth be
slave or free. Whether following the
glorious banner of American freedom
the nations shall advance till they con-
summate the dream of the ages-just
aelf-government for all mankind; or
whether, following the reactionary
/. Maehiavellism of the mad Kaiser, they
shall turn back into the blackness of a
medieval tyranny that degraded men
Unto mere beasts of burden and put fet-
ters oE th body and soul.
Every 'student, every citizen then,
should know just how this war came
about.
Especially 50 after the perpetration
by Germany Offive outrages upon the
ships and lives of American citizens
eliminating in the cold-bIooded Lusi-
tania massacre out of whose ghastly
toll Of 1850 innocent lives. 115 were
our own cOuntrymen.
But the brutal Germanic pirate is in
solently justifying these savage deeds.
and defying America to stop them. In
deed thoughtful men forsee our enfor-
ced entry into this ''made-in-Ger-
many Armageddon.
Therefore every American should
know the cause of the war, and no
book 50 fairly and clearly shows this, as
Mr. Beck's.
Amid welter of treatises and books
on this great war the work by the Hon.
James M. Beck L. L. D., significantly
entitled ''The Evidence in the Case, is
the one masterpiece whose findings
prophetically pronounce what will fin-
ally be the impartial verdict of History.
It isl no small glory to achieve clas-
aic-to indite book whose pages con-
fer Immortality upon him who pens
them-yet this is just what Attorney
Beck has done in his now celebrated
work, The Evidence in the Case"
which discloses a REORGANIZATION of
two fine faculties, genius for clear
logical statement and argument, cou-
pied with the ability to couch that ar
gument IN clear strong Engl sh en-
riched with the beauties Of the stylist
That this work is destined to survive
as . war classic no one reading it will
doubt
Mr. Beck's book derives unique
value from the fact that it is based
wholly upon documentary evidence-the
highest evidence known to Courts or to
History.
