For the opinions expressed in Part IV. of the Introductory Chapter Professor Morgan is alone responsible. The whole of the documents given in the “Documentary Chapter” of this book (except the Memorandum from the German White Book which has been published in German, though not, of course, in English) are now published for the first time. GERMAN ATROCITIES CHAPTER I INTRODUCTORY I THE BRITISH ENQUIRY The second chapter of this book has already appeared in the pages of the June issue of the _Nineteenth Century and After_. At the time of its appearance numerous suggestions were made--notably by the _Morning Post_ and the _Daily Chronicle_--that it should be republished in a cheaper and more accessible form. A similar suggestion has come to us from the Ministry of War in Paris, reinforced by the intimation that the review containing the article was not obtainable owing to its having immediately gone out of print. Since then an official reprint has been largely circulated in neutral countries by the British Government, and an abbreviated reprint of it has been published by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in the form of a pamphlet. The Secretary to the Committee informs me that considerably over a million and a half copies of this pamphlet have been circulated.
