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."
