"It shows the author creeping as near as he was allowed to the firing line. It gives broad views of difficult questions, like the future of the Poles and the Jews. It rises into high politics, forecasts the terms of peace and the rearrangement of the world, east and west, that may follow. But the salient thing in it is its interpretation for Western minds of the spirit of Russia."—London Times.

German World Policies
(Der Deutsche Gedanke in der Welt)
By PAUL ROHRBACH
Translated by Dr. Edmund von Mach
Cloth, 12mo, $1.25
Paul Rohrbach has been for several years the most popular author of books on politics and economics in Germany. He is described by his translator as a "constructive optimist," one who, at the same time, is an incisive critic of those shortcomings which have kept Germany, as he thinks, from playing the great part to which she is called. In this volume Dr. Rohrbach gives a true insight into the character of the German people, their aims, fears and aspirations.
Though it was written before the war started and has not been hastily put together, it still possesses peculiar significance now, for in its analysis of the German idea of culture and its dissemination, in its consideration of German foreign policies and moral conquests, it is an important contribution to the widespread speculation now current on these matters.
"Dr. von Mach renders an extraordinary service to his country in making known to English readers at this time a book like Rohrbach's."—New York Globe.
