[66] The writer has brought together a number of such passages in his preface to the German War Book. For others see Les Usages de la Guerre et la doctrine de l’Etat-Major Allemand, by Professor Charles Andler (Paris, 1915). Also Chapter I. of “Les Cruautés Allemandes, Requisitoire d’un neutre,” by Léon Maccas (Paris, 1915). And more especially the extremely valuable book published, at the moment of going to press, by an eminent French scholar, the Marquis de Dampierre, L’Allemagne et le Droit des Gens, a copy of which has just reached me.
