Britain's Deadly Peril: Are We Told the Truth?
Le Queux, William
Secret service -- Germany; Spies; World War, 1914-1918
THE EARL OF CRAWFORD says:--
"I am glad attention is being so prominently drawn to this most
important subject."
LORD LEITH OF FYVIE says:--
"Your book is most serviceable. The Emperor William's speech shows how
treacherously brutal is his madness for world power, and it opens the
eyes of all Americans who are inclined to admire the Emperor. It shows
his intention to run the elections and to boss the United States. I
hope you will be able to demonstrate who are the degenerates who are
betraying their country by active sympathy and assistance to the enemy."
What the Press Thinks
_THE DAILY MAIL_ says:--
"It is a book which should be carefully studied from cover to cover.
The present arrangement for dealing with Spies Mr. Le Queux pronounces
altogether unsatisfactory."
_THE DAILY TELEGRAPH_ says:--
"The discovery of the German Spy system has, we believe, been made
in time, and Mr. Le Queux must take his share in the credit of the
discovery. His self-sacrificing energy is vindicated to the world.
The stories which he tells will come as an alarming revelation to the
public."
_THE GLOBE_ says:--
"The audacity of some German agents in England, as revealed by Mr. Le
Queux, is only equalled by their enterprise. Mr. Le Queux emphasises
the point that it is those rich Germans of the Schulenberg type, for
whom some one in our Government or administration seems to have so
unwholesome a tenderness, who are the most dangerous. There are many
astonishing statements in this most amazing book."
_THE PALL MALL GAZETTE_ says:--
"Mr. Le Queux has devoted special attention to German Spies, and his
book will be read with much interest."
_THE EVENING STANDARD_ says:--
"Mr. Le Queux has here written on Spies and spying, as sensational a
book as any of his romances. Indeed, it may be questioned whether Mr.
Le Queux would have gone the length of introducing into a fictional
plot so extraordinary a chapter as that in which he reports one of the
Kaiser's speeches."
_THE SCOTSMAN_ says:--
"Mr. Le Queux gives a résumé of espionage methods. He goes over the
recent Spy convictions, and describes a considerable number of other
cases, unpunished, which have come under his own observation. He has
certainly laboured hard to impress the danger of the German system of
spying on the mind of the British public, and gives several instances
of the ease with which communication with Germany can still be carried
out."
A clear account of how the present burdens of taxation, high prices,
and low wages can be changed to individual and national prosperity.
THE CURE FOR POVERTY
BY
JOHN CALVIN BROWN
_In Crown 8vo. Cloth gilt. 5s. net_
Mr. H. PAGE CROFT, M.P., writes:
"I hope this valuable book will be widely read, for it deals with the
two greatest difficulties with which the British People are faced--that
of raising revenue for National Defence and Social Reform and that of
Industrial Unrest--and points to the only possible road to solution."
