Practical Pacifism and its Adversaries: “Is it Peace, Jehu?”
BY DR. SEVERIN NORDENTOFT
_Crown 8vo._ _4s. 6d. net._
In addition to making definite suggestions as to the lines on which the
Peace Movement should go to work after the war—suggestions which are
both obvious and practical—the book contains a reprint of a pamphlet
written by an upper-class native of Schleswig, with footnote criticisms
by a Prussian scholar of unbiassed views, which renders very sensational
and personal testimony to the terrible discontent and bitter rage which
a conquered nation feels in its humiliating position of subjection—thus
proving beyond all doubt that the chief obstacle that the Peace Movement
has to face is this unnatural denial to the conquered people of the
Rights of Peace.

Poland Past and Present
BY J. H. HARLEY
_Crown 8vo._ _4s. 6d. net._
Some new and vital details of the recent history of this unfortunate
country are conveyed to British readers in Mr. J. H. Harley’s vividly
interesting volume. It will be preceded by a preface from the pen of Mr.
Ladislas Mickiewicz—the son of the great Polish poet—which will state the
attitude of the Polish people to Germany, and reveal how deeply their
sympathies are enlisted in the cause of the Allies. A notable feature of
the book will be a record of the attempts made by the Germans in Poland
during the last few months to seduce Poland from her confidence in the
justice of the Western Powers.
