In Germany also are published leaflets bearing no indication of their origin. One of these, entitled _What is the Cause of the Severity of the War?_ is curious for more reasons than one. (_b_) _Propagandist Matter issued by the Publishing Houses._ There are, to begin with, the numerous low-priced pamphlets which carry the gospel to the soldiers in the trenches, and enlighten the home population. The most voluminous and the most perfidious of these books is that of Major Viktor von Strantz: _Die Eroberung Belgiëns_. Several publishing houses issue series of booklets, under some general title. We may mention:-- _Krieg und Sieg, 1914, nach Berichten der Zeitgenossen_ (War and Victory, 1914, according to the Accounts of Eye-witnesses). _Der Deutschen Volkes Kriegstagebuch_ (The German People's Diary of the War). _Der Weltkrieg, 1914_ (The World-war of 1914), at 20 pfennigs. Besides these works, which are intended rather for the masses, we must mention others, intended for a more intellectual public. Such are:-- _Reden aus der Kriegzeit_; _Deutsche Vortrage Hamburgischer Professoren_; _Zwischen Krieg und Frieden_; _Der Deutsche Krieg_; _Kriegsberichte aus den Grossen Hauptquartier._ To these we may add works appearing in small isolated volumes at a low price, containing more especially diplomatic documents:-- _Deutschland in der Notwehr_ (Carl Schüsemann, Bremen); _Das Volkerringen, 1914_, F. M. Kireheisen (Universal Bibliothek, Leipzig). _Urkunden, Depeschen und Berichte der Frankfurter Zeitung. Der Grosse Krieg. Eine Chronich von Tag zu Tag_ (Frankfurt, 1914-15). We must not overlook the numerous illustrated publications, among which we may mention the _Album de la Grande Guerre_, published by the _Deutscher Überseedienst_, with explanations in German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. This collection contains a number of illustrations relating to Belgium: for example, in No. 2 we have "A Zeppelin bombarding Liége," which never happened (p. 229): and No. 3 gives us a view of the Place des Bailles at Malines, "a quarter where the houses were destroyed by Belgian artillery" (whereas the Belgian artillery destroyed nothing in Malines, and the Place des Bailles was not bombarded but burned). (_c_) _Propangandist Bureaux operating Abroad._ Not content with flooding neutrals with literature fabricated in Germany itself, to such an extent that the former complained of the German importunity, the Germans have also set up bureaux of propaganda in foreign countries. The most important of these, without doubt, is that which has been operating in the United States, under the direction of Herr Bernhard Dernburg, ex-Minister of the Empire. Herr Dernburg has neglected no means of action, and has not feared to mount into the breach himself in his efforts to ensure the triumph of his cause.
