FOOTNOTES:
[1] The translator uses the words "The Netherlands, Netherlander," and "Netherland" on purpose. The Germans call themselves "Deutsch," the Americans call them "Dutch," the Flemish use "Duts" or "Duuts," and the Netherlanders "Duitsch"; so it is desirable to exchange "Dutch" for "Netherland."
The Gods in the Battle
By PAUL HYACINTHE LOYSON
Translated from the French by LADY FRAZER
With an Introduction by H. G. WELLS
SOME EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS OF THE ORIGINAL
Le Mercure de France (Marcel Rouff):
"P. H. Loyson's book hunts down all the subterfuges of dubious neutralities; it gives chase to all suspicious timidities; it combats all the criminal cavils.... All this part of the book (on Romain Rolland) is really grand and tragic."
Georges Renard (Socialist, Professor at the Collège de France):
"An old volunteer of 1870, like myself, cannot admit that a Frenchman should lounge in a foreign country and hover 'above the battle' when his country is threatened with death, together with all the human ideals for which she stands. Therefore I applaud the shots fired by this franc-tireur."
Le Progrès (Athens):
"Among the innumerable books which the great war has produced at Paris, this is one of powerful interest by a great French patriot, who is at the same time a writer of indisputable superiority."
Boston Evening Transcript (Alvan F. Sanborn):
"A striking contrast between the sturdiness, strenuousness, and boldness of the ante-bellum pacificism of Loyson and the equivocalness and timidity of that of Rolland."
Le Journal des Débats:
"This masterly lesson, courageously given, will not be lost."
Le Radical (Eugène Holland):
"Inspired by his theme, the author soars to the heights of eloquence, which thus far had only been reached by the grand lyric flight of D'Annunzio. This book will live."

The Bloodless War
BY
EZIO M. GRAY
Translated from the Italian by BERNAND MIALL
This volume will interest the business man and politician as well as the general public. It shows how Germany, by means of her industrial or money-lending banks, obtained control of vast sums of Italian capital, and of most Italian industries; ruining those which competed with her, and making even those she favoured dependent on her for some necessary item, so that war meant, or was intended to mean, the economic ruin of Italy. What Germany did in Italy she has done elsewhere; and everywhere her banking and commerce go hand in hand with espionage. Signor Gray tells us what Italy is doing to shake off the German yoke, and what remains to be done.

1914
BY
SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
With Maps, Plans and Diagrams. 6/-net
SIR WILLIAM ROBERTSON NICOLL in "The British Weekly"
"Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has given us a classic. His book on the British Campaign in France and Flanders during 1914 will never be superseded. It must be read by everyone and kept at hand for constant consultation by all who make a serious study of the war.... Above all, his entire work is animated by a noble love of liberty. His is a soul as true as steel and as transparent as crystal. The power and sincerity of his narrative have behind them qualities of moral sympathy and moral indignation which sometimes draw the reader to his feet."

SOME IMPORTANT WAR BOOKS
ENGLAND IN WAR-TIME.
By ANDRE CHEVRILLON.
With a Preface by RUDYARD KIPLING.
A striking, impartial, documented and highly sympathetic study, by a French scholar, well acquainted with England, of the internal evolution of the country during the last two years. In seven brilliant and life-like chapters, the author gives a vivid sketch of the initial attitude of England to the war, of the progressive alterations in her structure which have resulted from its stress, of the inevitable opposition they have encountered, and examines the ultimate causes alike of changes and opposition. The book is indispensable to all who wish to obtain a clear and scientific view, undistorted by party feeling, of the epoch-making crisis through which our country is passing.

HURRAH AND HALLELUJAH:
The Spirit of New Germanism. A Documentation.
By J. P. BANG, D.D.,
Professor of Theology at the University of Copenhagen.
"My purpose in writing this book is to describe a movement in Germany which has been active for a long time, but which during the war has recklessly cast aside all considerations. This movement is twofold: New Germany's view of other nations, and her valuation of herself and her supposed mission in the world. My book takes the form of a comprehensive documentation showing the manifold forms, the wide scope, and the strength of this movement, which, if its ideas prevail, will be of the most fatal importance for Germanism and to the world at large."

COMRADES IN ARMS.
By CAPITAINE PHILIPPE MILLET.
Capitaine Philippe Millet, already known as the author of "Jenny s'en va-t-elle en guerre," has written a number of stories illustrating life in France to-day. Most of the stories vividly picture the actual life in the trenches and the barrack room, and show in simple and direct fashion the common bond that is being forged between the soldiers of our country and those of France. These stories are a revelation of the English Tommy as seen through the eyes of a French officer, and the delightful vein of humour running all through will hold the reader spellbound to the end. It is doubtful whether from any other source it is possible to obtain such a series of realistic impressions of the English soldier as seen by one of our Allies in actual warfare.

"At last I appealed to his heart by relating all the Netherlanders had done for the Belgians. This had the desired effect, and I was allowed to drive home with him.
At every inn he felt thirsty, and made me feel quite clearly that I had every reason to treat him. And every time that we went back to our seats he said again:
