"The one indispensable volume so far published for those who desire a comprehensive survey of the situation.... One of the most valuable contributions to the literature of the World War."--_Portland Express._ "The dramatic story ... is unusually calm and dispassionate, after the modern historical manner, with a great deal of fresh information."--_Philadelphia North American._ "Sets down without bias the real causes of the Great War."--_New York Times._ THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York Russia and the World By STEPHEN GRAHAM Author of "With the Russian Pilgrims to Jerusalem," "With Poor Immigrants to America," etc. _Illustrated, cloth, 8vo, $2.00_ At the outbreak of the present European war Mr. Graham was in Russia, and his book opens, therefore, with a description of the way the news of war was received on the Chinese frontier, one thousand miles from a railway station, where he happened to be when the Tsar's summons came. Following this come other chapters on Russia and the War, considering such questions as, Is It a Last War?, Why Russia Is Fighting, The Economic Isolation of Russia, An Aeroplane Hunt at Warsaw, Suffering Poland: A Belgium of the East, and The Soldier and the Cross. But "Russia and the World" is not by any means wholly a war book. It is a comprehensive survey of Russian problems. Inasmuch as the War is at present one of her problems, it receives its due consideration. It has been, however, Mr. Graham's intention to supply the very definite need that there is for enlightenment in English and American circles as to the Russian nation, what its people think and feel on great world matters. On almost every country there are more books and more concrete information than on his chosen land. In fact, "Russia and the World" may be regarded as one of the very first to deal with it in any adequate fashion. "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._ THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York 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.
